Crystal structures of four δ-keto esters and a Cambridge Structural Database analysis of cyano-halogen interactions.

چکیده
The revived interest in halogen bonding as a tool in pharmaceutical cocrystals and drug design has indicated that cyano-halogen interactions could play an important role. The crystal structures of four closely related δ-keto esters, which differ only in the substitution at a single C atom (by H, OMe, Cl and Br), are compared, namely ethyl 2-cyano-5-oxo-5-phenyl-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C19H22N2O3, (1), ethyl 2-cyano-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C20H24N2O4, (2), ethyl 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-cyano-5-oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C19H21ClN2O3, (3), and the previously published ethyl 5-(4-bromophenyl)-2-cyano-5-oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C19H21BrN2O3, (4) [Maurya, Vasudev & Gupta (2013). RSC Adv. 3, 12955-12962]. The molecular conformations are very similar, while there are differences in the molecular assemblies. Intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds are found to be the primary interactions in the crystal packing and are present in all four structures. The halogenated derivatives have additional aromatic-aromatic interactions and cyano-halogen interactions, further stabilizing the molecular packing. A database analysis of cyano-halogen interactions using the Cambridge Structural Database [CSD; Groom & Allen (2014). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53, 662-671] revealed that about 13% of the organic molecular crystals containing both cyano and halogen groups have cyano-halogen interactions in their packing. Three geometric parameters for the C-X...N[triple-bond]C interaction (X = F, Cl, Br or I), viz. the N...X distance and the C-X...N and C-N...X angles, were analysed. The results indicate that all the short cyano-halogen contacts in the CSD can be classified as halogen bonds, which are directional noncovalent interactions.

On the Importance of Halogen–Halogen Interactions in the Solid State of Fullerene Halides: A Combined Theoretical and Crystallographic Study
In this manuscript, we combined DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations (BP86-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory) and a search in the CSD (Cambridge Structural Database) to analyze the role of halogen–halogen interactions in the crystal structure of fullerene halides. We have used a theoretical model of a halogenated C60 and evaluated the formation of halogen–halogen complexes between F, Cl, Br ...

This work presents a study on thermo-optical properties of three Schiff bases (imines) in the solid state. The Schiff bases were obtained by means of mechanochemical synthesis using monosubstituted o-hydroxy aromatic aldehydes and monosubstituted aromatic amines. The keto-enol tautomerism and proton transfer via intramolecular O∙∙∙N hydrogen bond of the reported compounds was found to be influe...

A quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular F•••F, Br•••Br and Br•••O interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (BFNB). This system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. We found that fluorine atoms have weak ...

Finely-tuned ruthenium-catalyzed highly chemoselective and enantioselective hydrogenation of γ-halo-γ,δ-unsaturated-β-keto esters at the carbonyl group was achieved under neutral reaction conditions (ee up to 97%). Both olefin and alkenyl halogen moieties, which are labile under hydrogenation conditions, remained untouched during the reaction.

M06-2X functional was employed to study halogen-π interactions in X-C2-Y…C8H8 complexes (X, Y=H, F, Cl, and Br). In fact, interactions of mono- or di-halogenated acetylenes and planar cyclooctatetraene as an anti-aromatic π system were considered. Relationship between binding energies of the complexes and charge transfer effects was investigated. Also, electronic charge density values were calc...
