Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of dimethyl 3-(3-bromo-phen-yl)-6-methyl-7-oxo-3,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-pyrazolo-[1,2-a]pyrazole-1,2-di-carboxyl-ate.

The title compound, C17H17BrN2O5, resulted from the 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition reaction between dimethyl acetyl-enedi-carboxyl-ate and (3-bromo-benzyl-idene)-4-methyl-5-oxopyrazolidin-2-ium-1-ide in CHCl3. The dihedral angle between the pyrazole rings (all atoms) is 32.91 (10)°; the oxo-pyrazole ring displays an envelope conformation whereas the other pyrazole ring adopts a twisted conformation. The bromo-phenyl ring subtends a dihedral angle of 88.95 (9)° with the mean plane of its attached pyrazole ring. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π-π inter-actions with an inter-centroid distance of 3.8369 (10) Å. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots reveal that the mol-ecular packing is governed by H⋯H (37.1%), O⋯H/H⋯O (31.3%), Br⋯H/H⋯Br (13.5%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (10.6%) contacts. The energy framework indicates that dispersion energy is the major contributor to the mol-ecular packing.

Divulging the various chemical reactivity of trifluoromethyl-4-vinyl-benzene as well as methyl-4-vinyl-benzene in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions.

In the present paper, an investigation about the [3 + 2]cycloaddition (32 C A) reactions of benzonitrile oxide with 1-trifluoromethyl-4-vinyl-benzene, and with 1-methyl-4-vinyl-benzene, using the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) through DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p), is performed. A deep mechanistic study beside an accurate electronic description of different stationary points along the IRC paths of the two 32 C A reactions have performed by examining the two competitive regioisomericortho/metareaction pathways, and providing the mechanism associated with them. The presence of the CF3 group reduces the activation energy, which makes it possible to increase the experimental yield of the reaction in good agreement with the experimental results. Addition of solvent (THF) does not affected the regioselectivity of the studied reactions. Evaluation of the ELF of selected structures of the IRC related with the formation of C-O and C-C single bonds designates that these 32 C A reactions take place through a one-step, two-stage mechanism.

Crystal structure of N-(1-acetyl-3-chloro-1H-indazol-6-yl)-4-meth-oxy-benzene-sulfonamide.

In the title compound, C16H14ClN3O4S, the six-membered ring of the indazole group is connected to a sulfonamide group. The indazole system is essentially planar, with the greatest deviation from the mean plane being 0.007 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the two six-membered rings is 74.99 (9)°. The crystal structure exhibits inversion dimers in which mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
