The title compound, C(21)H(24)N(2)O(8), was synthesized by a 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition reaction of dimethyl fumarate, diethyl 2-amino-malonate and 4-cyano-benzaldehyde. Both methyl ester groups display a trans configuration and the pyrrolidine ring possesses an envelope conformation, with the C atom in the 3-position as the flap. In the crystal, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-action...

Active methylene compounds such as acetone, butanone, cyclopentanone, nitromethane, malononitrile, ethyl 2-cyanoacetate, diethyl malonate, and ethyl acetylacetate react with the C3 position of N-confused porphyrin in the presence of L-proline in refluxing THF-EtOH affording a variety of N-confused porphyrin derivatives in moderate yield. L-Proline catalyzes the reaction facilitating the formati...

The title compound, C(24)H(26)N(2)O(8), was synthesized by the cyclo-addition reaction of methyl 2-phenyl-acrylate, diethyl 2-amino-malonate and 4-nitro-benzaldehyde. The pyrrolidine ring exhibits an envelope conformation. The two benzene rings are located on opposite sides of the pyrrolidine ring and subtend a dihedral angle of 59.16 (14)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by N-H⋯O and weak C...

In the title mol-ecule, C(14)H(8)N(2)O(5), the amino group is involved in the formation an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into ribbons along the b axis.

The title mol-ecule, C(37)H(56)O(6), possesses twofold symmetry, with the twofold axis passing through the quaternary C atom. In the crystal, neighbouring mol-ecules are linked via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the phenol OH group and the carbonyl O atom, forming chains propagating in [101]. Within these chains, rings are formed with an R(2) (2)(20) motif. There are also C-H⋯O inter-actions pr...

Field portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, GC-MS, have been established as the ‘gold standard’ of chemical identification and quantification for threats however several warfare agents shown to evade required detection limits. This work demonstrates derivatization O-ethyl S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl) methylphosphonothioate (VX) N,N-diethyl-2-[methyl(2-methylpropoxy)phosphoryl]sulfanylet...
