The title compound, C(26)H(22)O(4), is a derivative of 1,4-bis-(phenyl-ethyn-yl)benzene substituted by four meth-oxy groups at the terminal benzene rings. The asymmetric unit consists of two half-molecules; one centrosymmetric molecule is planar but the other is non-planar, with dihedral angles of 67.7 (1)° between the central benzene ring and the terminal benzene rings. In the crystal structur...

A computational docking approach, in combination with the Hammett relationship, has been employed to evaluate the electronic influence of substituents on ligand binding and the active site-directed inhibitory potency on acetylcholinesterase using nine N-aryl-substituted succinimides. Our results indicate that electronwithdrawing groups attached to benzene moiety of the compounds favor the inhib...

In the title compound, C(28)H(18)F(4)O(2), the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 44.27 (6), 56.33 (5) and 77.27 (6)° with the two adjacent fluoro-benzene rings and terminal difluoro-substituted benzene ring, respectively. The dihedral angle between the fluoro-benzene rings is 87.81 (6)°. The meth-oxy and prop-2-en-1-one groups are essentially coplanar with their attached benzene rin...

Cyclic polyene with six carbon atoms (benzene) is very stable, whereas cyclic polyene with four carbon atoms (cyclobutadiene) is extremely unstable. The electron-withdrawing pentafluorophenyl group of a substituted cyclobutadiene lowers the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, greatly increasing its reactivity as a diene in Diels-Alder reactions with acetylene, ethylene and even b...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(24)H(21)FN(2)O(5)S, consists of two crystallographically independent mol-ecules. In each mol-ecule, the central dihydro-pyrimidine ring is significantly puckered and adopts a conformation which is best described as an inter-mediate between a boat and a screw boat. The least-squares planes of the dihydro-pyrimidine rings are almost coplanar with the f...

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C16H16N4O7, are not planar with a dihedral angle of 5.50 (11)° between the substituted benzene rings. The two meta-meth-oxy groups of the 3,4,5-tri-meth-oxy-benzene moiety lie in the plane of the attached ring [Cmeth-yl-O-C-C torsion angles -0.1 (4)° and -3.7 (3)°] while the para-meth-oxy substituent lies out of the plane [Cmeth-yl-O-C-C, -86.0 (3)°]. An intra-...

In the title compound, C(34)H(26)F(2)N(2)O(2)S, an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond forms an S(5) ring motif. The piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. The thia-zolidine ring and one of the pyrrolidine rings adopt envolope conformations with methyl-ene C atoms at the flap, whereas the other pyrrolidine ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The fluoro-substituted benzene rings form di...

In the title 3-cyano-pyridine derivative, C21H19N3O4, the 3-cyano-substituted pyridine ring forms dihedral angles of 2.35 (5) and 41.60 (5)° with the unsubstituted pyridine and 2,4,5-trimeth-oxy-substituted benzene rings, respectively. The dihedral angle between the unsubstituted pyridine and benzene rings is 39.84 (5)°. The meth-oxy groups form Cmeth-yl-O-C-(C,N) torsion angles in the range 0....

In the title compound, C(38)H(28)F(2)N(2)O(2), the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and the pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the spiro C atom as the flap atom. The naphthalene ring system makes dihedral angles of 39.89 (8), 35.33 (8) and 46.45 (8)° with the two fluoro-substituted benzene rings and the phenyl ring, respectively, while the dihedral angle between th...
