In the title compound, [CrCl(3)(C(19)H(13)Br(2)N(3))], the Cr(3+ )ion is coordinated by the tridentate 2,6-bis-[(4-bromo-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]pyridine Schiff base ligand in a fac-octa-hedral geometry. The dihedral angles between the pyridine and benzene rings are 23.9 (6) and 70.7 (1)°.

Condensation of ethylaceto acetate (EAA) with resorcinol in concentrated H2SO4 afforded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl coumarin (1), which on reaction with thiosemicarbazide in anhydrous pyridine yielded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-quinolinyl [1,5-c]-mercaptotriazole (2). Reaction of 2 with formaldehyde solution and amino acid in ethanol yielded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-8-(N-methyl-aminoacid)-quinolinyl [1,5-c]-2''-merca...

[Structure: see text] Enantioselective nitrone cycloadditions with beta-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles catalyzed by bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine-cerium(IV) triflate complexes 1 have been reported. The isoxazolidine products were efficiently transformed into densely functionalized beta'-hydroxy-beta-amino acid derivatives.

Interaction of [VO(OiPr)3] with 6-bis(o-hydroxyaryl)pyridine, 2,6-{HOC(Ph)2CH2}2(NC5H3), LH2, afforded [VO(OiPr)L] (1) in good yield. The reaction LNa2, generated in-situ from LH2 and NaH, [VCl3(THF)3] led to the isolation [VL2] (2) which pyridyl nitrogen atoms are cis; a regioisomer 3∙2THF, trans, was isolated when using [VCl2(TMEDA)2]. 2,6-bis(o-hydroxyalkyl)pyridine {HOC(iPr)2CH2}2(NC5H3), L...
