Treating 2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-methylbenzo[d]-3,1-oxazinium hexachloroantimonate (1) with one equivalent of alcohol or mercaptane led, after hydrolysis with aq. NaOH, to the formation of 4,4-disubstituted-1,4-dihydro-2H-6-methyl-3,1-benzoxazin-2-ones (3). Large excess addition of alcohol afforded either 4’-chloro-2-isocyanato-5-methylbenzophenone disubstitutedketal (4) or N-{2[(4-chloro...

The synthesis and characterization of eight new bis-cyclometalated compounds [M(ptpy)2(N^N)]PF6 (ptpy=2-(p-tolyl)pyridinato; N^N=5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline: M=Rh, 1; M=Ir, 2); N^N=5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline: 3; 4; N^N=4,4’-diphenyl-2,2’-bipyridine: 5; 6; N^N=4,4’-diamino-2,2’-bipyridine: 7; 8) are described. All were characterized by spectroscopic means. Additionally, the molecular structur...

In the title mol-ecule, C(13)H(12)ClNO, the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrrole rings is 1.38 (9)°. The cyclo-heptene ring adopts a distorted twist chair and sofa conformation. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form an R(2) (2)(10) loop in the crystal packing. Further, weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π (involving the benzene ring) inter-actions are found in the crystal structure.

The title compound, C(17)H(12)ClNO(2), crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The main conformational difference between these two mol-ecules is the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the quinoline ring system [70.5 (1)° and 65.5 (1) Å]. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The carbazole unit of the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(10)ClNO, is not planar. The dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrrole rings is 1.35 (10)°. The cyclo-hexene ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers.

The chemical structures of AT2433-A1 (2), AT2433-A2 (3), AT2433-B1 (4) and AT2433-B2 (5) were elucidated by degradation and spectroscopic studies. Compounds 2-5 are disaccharides closely related to rebeccamycin. The aglycone in 2 and 3 was determined to be 6-N-methyl-11-chloro-5H-indolo[2,3-a]pyrolo[3,4-c]carbazole and in 4 and 5 it was determined to be 6-N-methyl-5H-indolo[2,3-a]pyrolo[3,4-c]c...
