The mol-ecule of the title Schiff base compound, C(16)H(14)Br(2)N(2), lies across a crystallographic inversion centre and adopts an E configuration with respect to the azomethine C=N bond. The imino group is coplanar with the aromatic ring. Within the mol-ecule, the planar units are parallel, but extend in opposite directions from the dimethyl-ene bridge. The crystal structure is stabilized by ...

Photochemically, covalent cycloaddition products of flavoquinone and acetylenic enzyme inhibitors have been prepared and elucidated, which appear analogous to flavoprotein-inhibitor complexes (monoamine and lactate oxidase). The additions occur with inhibitors of general type H C = C — C H < at the C (4a )=N(5 ) azomethine grouping of oxidized flavin. The spectral properties of adducts and thei...

A complete stereocontrol of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-metalated azomethine ylides onto endohedral fullerene H2@C60 is reported for the first time. The stereodivergent synthesis of either the cis or the trans endohedral cycloadduct is achieved with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

A chemoselective [3+3] cycloaddition of in situ generated azomethine ylides with quinone monoimides has been established, which efficiently led to the construction of dihydrobenzoxazine frameworks with biological relevance, with excellent chemoselectivities and high yields (up to >95 : 5 cr and 98% yield).

In the title compound, C(17)H(19)NO(2), the dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 26.02 (5)°. One phenol O atom is deprotonated and the N atom of the azomethine unit carries the H atom, forming an intra-molecular hydrogen bond. The packing is stabilized by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond.

The one-pot [3 + 2] cycloaddition of an azomethine ylide with a maleimide followed by another [3 + 2] cycloaddition of an azide with the second maleimide gives a 1,5-diamino intermediate which is used for a sequential aminomethylation reaction with formaldehyde through [5 + 1] annulation to afford a novel polycyclic scaffold bearing tetrahydroquinazoline, pyrrolidine, pyrrolidinedione, and N-su...

The title compound, [Zn(C(15)H(14)NO(2))(2)], contains a four-coordinate Zn atom located on a twofold rotation axis that exhibits a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two phenolate O atoms and two azomethine N atoms of the Schiff base 2-methoxy-6-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolate ligands.

Increasing interests have been invested in the development of synthetic strategies toward the construction of spiro[pyrrolidine-2,3'-oxindole], which is the core structural skeleton in some compounds with diverse biological activities. In this work, an efficient diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides generated in situ from 3-amino oxindoles and aldehydes with...

Catalytic, enantioselective [3 + 2] cycloadditions of azomethine ylides derived from alanine imino esters with 3-nitroindoles are reported. The dearomative cycloaddition reactions occur in the presence of a catalyst generated in situ from Cu(OTf)2 and (R)-Difluorphos to form exo’-pyrroloindoline cycloadducts and establish four contiguous stereogenic centers, two of which are fully substituted. ...

This paper describes the synthesis of precursors with a benzo[b]furan skeleton for the intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides prepared from N-substituted 3-allyl-aminobenzo[b]furan-2-aldehydes and secondary amines derived from α-amino acid esters. Reactions were initiated by heating. The products consisted of four fused rings with three stereogenic centers. Their structur...
