- A comparison of the structures of some 2- and 3-substituted chromone derivatives: a structural study on the importance of the secondary carboxamide backbone for the inhibitory activity of MAO-BPublication . Gomes, Ligia R.; Low, John Nicolson; Cagide, Fernando; Gaspar, Alexandra; Borges, FernandaThe crystal structures of the 3-substituted tertiary chromone carboxamide derivative, C17H13NO3, N-methyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-4H-chromene-3-carboxamide (1), and the chromone carbonyl pyrrolidine derivatives, C14H13NO3, 3-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (3) and 2-(pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (4) have been determined. Their structural features are discussed and compared with similar compounds namely with respect to their MAO-B inhibitory activities. The chromone carboxamide presents a -syn conformation with the aromatic rings twisted with respect to each other [the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chromone system and the exocyclic phenyl ring is 58.48 (8)°]. The pyrrolidine derivatives also display a significant twist: the dihedral angles between the chromone system and the best plane formed by the pyrrolidine atoms are 48.9 (2) and 23.97 (12)° in (3) and (4), respectively. Compound (3) shows a short C-H...O intramolecular contact forming an S(7) ring. The supramolecular structures for each compound are defined by weak C-H...O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into chains and sheets. The Cambridge Structural Database gave 45 hits for compounds with a pyrrolidinecarbonyl group. A simple statistical analysis of their geometric parameters is made in order to compare them with those of the molecules determined in the present work.
- Crystal structures of ethyl 6-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate and ethyl 6-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylatePublication . Gomes, Ligia R.; Low, John Nicolson; Fernandes, Carlos; Gaspar, Alexandra; Borges, FernandaThe crystal structures of two chromone derivatives, viz. ethyl 6-(4-methylphenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate, C19H16O4, (1), and ethyl 6-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxylate C18H13FO4, (2), have been determined: (1) crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. A comparison of the dihedral angles beween the mean planes of the central chromone core with those of the substituents, an ethyl ester moiety at the 2-position and a para-substituted phenyl ring at the 6-position shows that each molecule differs significantly from the others, even the two independent molecules (a and b) of (1). In all three molecules, the carbonyl groups of the chromone and the carboxylate are trans-related. The supramolecular structure of (1) involves only weak C-H...[pi] interactions between H atoms of the substituent phenyl group and the phenyl group, which link molecules into a chain of alternating molecules a and b, and weak [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions between the chromone units. The packing in (2) involves C-H...O interactions, which form a network of two intersecting ladders involving the carbonyl atom of the carboxylate group as the acceptor for H atoms at the 7-position of the chromone ring and from an ortho-H atom of the exocyclic benzene ring. The carbonyl atom of the chromone acts as an acceptor from a meta-H atom of the exocyclic benzene ring. [pi]-[pi] interactions stack the molecules by unit translation along the a axis.
- The synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis of 4-(3,4-dimethylanilino)-N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)quinoline-3-carboxamidePublication . Gomes, Lígia Rebelo; Low, John Nicolson; Borges, Fernanda; Gaspar, Alexandra; Mesiti, FrancescoThe structure of the title quinoline carboxamide derivative, C26H25N3O, is described. The quinoline moiety is not planar as a result of a slight puckering of the pyridine ring. The secondary amine has a slightly pyramidal geometry, certainly not planar. Both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are present. Hirshfeld surface analysis and lattice energies were used to investigate the intermolecular interactions.
