In the title compound, C(23)H(18)O(3), the dihedral angle between the two naphthalene ring systems is 78.02 (3)°. The bridging carbonyl C-C(=O)-C plane makes a dihedral angle of 70.56 (5)° with the naphthalene ring system in the 2,7-dimeth-oxy-naphthalene moiety and a dihedral angle of 11.53 (5)° with the naphthalene ring system in the naphthoyl group. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are li...

Carbonyl-carbonyl (C=O···C'=O') interactions are ubiquitous in both small and large molecular systems. This interaction involves delocalization of a lone pair (n) of a donor oxygen into the antibonding orbital (π*) of an acceptor carbonyl group. Analyses of high-resolution protein structures suggest that these carbonyl-carbonyl interactions prefer to occur in pairs, that is, one donor per accep...

A series of diazo carbonyl compounds bearing different substituents have been prepared in order to investigate the steric effect in 1,2-migration reaction of rhodium(II) carbene. Through the investigation on the diazo decomposition of these compounds with Rh2(OAc)4, it was found that the steric effect could dramatically influence the migratory aptitude. In many cases, the steric effect could ov...

The 5-endo-trig-type cyclization has been performed using a Pd-bis(isoxazoline) catalyst. The present cyclization of β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds gave γ-butenolides and 3-pyrrolin-2-ones in good to excellent yields.

A mild and general α-arylation of α-amino carbonyls with indoles catalyzed by Fe(ClO4)3 has been developed. C-H activation is smoothly fulfilled by using TBHP as the oxidant with good yields. Two hydrogen dissociations make this transformation more environmentally benign because of high atom efficiency.

In the title compound, C(10)H(8)Cl(2)O(4), the two Cl atoms and one of the meth-oxy-carbonyl groups are almost coplanar [maxi-mum derivation = 0.035 (2) Å] with the benzene plane, and the other meth-oxy-carbonyl group exhibits an almost orthogonal disposition relative to the benzene plane, with a dihedral angle of 84.82 (3)° between the planes. In the crystal, the molecules are connected into a...

In the title compound, C(9)H(7)NO(6), the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and its three substituents are 29.99 (8)° for the nitro, 67.09 (8)° for the carb-oxy and 32.48 (10)° for the meth-oxy-carbonyl group. In the crystal, one classical O-H⋯O and two nonclassical C-H⋯O contacts link adjacent mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional structure.

Al2(HPO4)3 was easily prepared and used as a solid acid in acetalization of carbonyl compounds at room temperature and under solvent-free conditions. The protection was done in short reaction times and in good to high isolated yields. The cheapness and availability of this reagent with easy procedure and work-up make this method attractive for the organic synthesis. Keywords—Acetalization, acid...

The cation of the title salt, C(7)H(16)N(3)O(3) (+)·C(3)H(4)NO(3) (-), the oxime group is trans with respect to the amide-carbonyl group. The components of the structure are united into a three-dimensional network by an extensive system of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
