Mannich reaction of pyrrole and dimethylpyrrole with monoamines and diamines

Recent advances in the synthesis of highly substituted imidazolidines

Imidazolidine is a saturated heterocycle with a cyclic aminal core that can be found in natural products and biologically active molecules. Additionally, these heterocyclic compounds have been utilized as chiral ligands, N-heterocyclic carbene precursors, and catalysts in organic synthesis. This review is an attempt to compile the literature of various synthetic procedures of highly substituted imidazolidines, chiral imidazolidines with high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities, bis-imidazolidines, and spiro-imidazolidines, as well as their pharmacological properties during the period from 1949 to 2023.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 8-benzyl-1-[(4-methyl-phen-yl)sulfon-yl]-2,7,8,9-tetra-hydro-1H-3,6:10,13-diep-oxy-1,8-benzodi-aza-cyclo-penta-decine ethanol hemisolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C31H28N2O4S·C2H6O, contains a parent mol-ecule and a half mol-ecule of ethanol solvent. The main compound stabilizes its mol-ecular conformation by forming a ring with an R 1 2(7) motif with the ethanol solvent mol-ecule. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by C-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, C-H⋯π inter-actions also strengthen the mol-ecular packing.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (22 RS,23 SR,25 RS,26 SR)-23,25,5-trimethyl-21-(2,2,2-tri-fluoro-acet-yl)-5-aza-2(2,6)-piperidina-1,3(2,5)-di-furana-cyclo-hexa-phan-24-one

The title compound, C20H21F3N2O4, features a main twelve-membered difuryl ring with which the furan rings make dihedral angles of 76.14 (5) and 33.81 (5)°. The dihedral angle between the furan rings is 42.55 (7)°. The six-membered nitro-gen heterocycle has a twist-boat conformation. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are connected by inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions, generating an R 2 2(14) ring motif. These pairs of mol-ecules form zigzag chains along the a-axis direction by means of C-H⋯F inter-actions. Furthermore, C-H⋯π and C-F⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules into chains along the b-axis direction, forming sheets parallel to the (001) plane. These sheets are also connected by van der Waals inter-actions.
