In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(11)FO(5)S, the 2H-chromene ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.040 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the 2H-chromene ring and the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring is 2.17 (8)°. One of the sulfonamide O atoms is approximately coplanar with the benzene ring [C-C-S-O torsion angle = 166.00 (14)°], whereas the other O atom lies well bel...

In the title compound, C16H17NO3, the coumarin moiety is essentially planar [maximum deviation from the mean plane formed by the C and O atoms of the coumarin = 0.0183 (12) Å] and that the cyclo-hexane ring adopts the usual chair conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the coumarin residue and the plane of the amide residue (defined as the N, C and O atoms) is 18.9 (2)°. Ther...

In the title compound, C15H16ClNO2S2, the 2H-chromene ring system is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.023 (2) Å. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds give R 2 (1)(7) motifs, which generate [100] chains. C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions between chromene moieties [shortest ring centroid-centroid distance = 3.6199 (13) Å] consolidate the packing.

TA-3037A, a new inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase, has been isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. TA-3037. The structure of TA-3037A was defined as (Z)-3-benzylidene-3,4-dihydro-2-oxo-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-5-carboxylic acid by an analysis of spectral properties and chemical studies of TA-3037A and its derivatives.

A fluorescent probe (N-(4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl)-2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamide), which exhibits high selectivity to glutathione and cysteine among amino acids including sulphur-containing methionine and metal ions, was synthesized. The experiments demonstrate that the fluorescent probe is a reliable and specific probe for glutathione and cysteine in living cells.
