The title compound, C(16)H(26)ClNO(3) contains one almost planar furan-one ring [maximum deviation of 0.021 (2) Å for the O atom] with a stereogenic center (S) and one cyclo-hexane ring which displays a chair conformation and has three stereogenic centers [S at the C atom bearing the isopropyl group, R at the C atom attached to the O atom and R at the C atom bearing the methyl group].

In the title compound, C(26)H(32)N(2), the cyclo-hexane and piperazine rings each adopt a chair conformation. Both phenyl rings and the two propen-3-yl residues are in equatorial positions. There are no C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds nor π-π inter-actions between the aromatic rings. The absolute configuration was assigned with reference to the starting material.

In the title mol-ecule, C(14)H(14)O(5), the 1,3-dioxane ring is in an envelope conformation with the ring C atom common to the cyclo-hexane ring forming the flap. The other five atoms of the 1,3-dioxane ring are essentially planar [maximum deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.041 (3) Å] and form a dihedral angle of 13.75 (2)° with the furan ring. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molec...

The title compound, C(16)H(34)N(2), is a chiral diamine with fixed R configuration at both stereogenic carbon centres of the cyclo-hexane backbone. Due to their different substituents, the two N atoms also become stereogenic. In the crystal structure, the configuration at one of the two nitro-gen centres is fixed, with the free electron pair pointing inward and the isobutyl group in a trans pos...

The title compound, C15H14N2S, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The central imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]benzo-thia-zole unit is planar (r.m.s. deviations of 0.010 and 0.008 Å for the two independent mol-ecules). The fused tetra-hydro-hexane ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The phenyl substituent is twisted by 16.96 (13) and 22.89 (12)° relative to the central im...

ion from C H bonds. The impinging H is simply reflected from the n-hexane surface with reduced intensity due to charge neutralization at the molecular solid.

Nanoscopic and microscopic water droplets and ice crystals embedded in liquid hydrophobic surroundings are key components of aerosols, rocks, oil fields and the human body. The chemical properties of such droplets critically depend on the interfacial structure of the water droplet. Here we report the surface structure of 200 nm-sized water droplets in mixtures of hydrophobic oils and surfactant...

The fluorescence of a new aminocyanonaphthalene exhibits exquisite sensitivity to its environment and responds to a solvent change from water to hexane with greater than a 100-fold increase in intensity and 100 nm shift in λ(max.em). These properties should support many applications including the detection of abasic sites within duplex DNA as illustrated below.

In the title adduct, C5H5NO·C8H12O4, the heterocycle exists in its zwitterionic form. The cyclo-hexane ring exhibits a chair conformation with the carb-oxy-lic acid groups in equatorial and axial orientations. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through charge-assisted O-H⋯O(-), N(+)-H⋯O(-) and N(+)-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and an additional series of C-H⋯O contacts, giving a pleated two-dimension...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C17H24O2, contains two independent mol-ecules with different conformations. The least-squares plane through the cyclohexane ring makes dihedral angles of 52.9 (5) and 81.4 (4)° with the benzene ring in the two molecules. The cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation in both mol-ecules. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules relat...
