The Rothemund-type condensation of methoxycarbonylpyrrole with acetone produces mainly the α,β'-linked dipyrromethane, a building block for the synthesis of N-confused macrocycles. The influence of the reaction conditions on the regioselectivity of the process is reported. The x-ray structures of the α,α'-, α,β'- and β,β'-linked dipyrromethanes show an interesting discrimination of the structurally different types of hydrogen bonds. [on SciFinder(R)]

In the title compound, C(35)H(47)ClN(4)O, the two pyrrolidine rings have envelope conformations. The conformation of the macrocycle is stabilized by N-H(midline ellipsis)N hydrogen bonds and a C-H(midline ellipsis)N inter-action. The benzoyl ring is inclined to the adjacent pyrrole ring by 11.66 (11)°, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.7488 (13) Å. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N-H(midline ellipsis)O hydrogen bonds into helical chains propagating in [010] and C-H(midline ellipsis)O and C-H(midline ellipsis)? interactions are also observed.

In the title compound, C(11)H(23)NO(2), the piperidine ring has a chair conformation. The two hy-droxy H atoms are disordered over two positions with fixed occupancy ratios of 0.57:0.43 and 0.63:0.37. In the mol-ecule, there are two short N-H(midline ellipsis)O inter-actions. In the crystal, four symmetry-related mol-ecules are linked by O-H(midline ellipsis)O hydrogen bonds to form a cage-like arrangement, centered about the point of inter-section of three twofold axes. These cages stack along the [100] direction.

2,2'-(Propane-2,2-diyl)bis(1H-pyrrole), C11H14N2, crystd. with 2 independent mols. (A and B) in the asym. unit. The 2 mols. differ only slightly, with the pyrrole rings being inclined to 1 another at a dihedral angle of 87.67(8)° in mol. A and 88.09(7)° in mol. B. In the crystal, there are no classical H bonds, but the 2 pyrrole NH groups of 1 mol. are involved in N-H···? interactions with the pyrrole rings of the other mol. In this manner, a compact box-like arrangement of the 2 independent mols. is formed. Crystallog. data are given. [on SciFinder(R)]

In the title compd., C35H47ClN4O, the two pyrrolidine rings have envelope conformations. The conformation of the macrocycle is stabilized by N-H···N H bonds and a C-H···N interaction. The benzoyl ring is inclined to the adjacent pyrrole ring by 11.66(11)°, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.7488(13) Å. In the crystal, mols. are linked by N-H···O H bonds into helical chains propagating in [010] and C-H···O and C-H···? interactions are also obsd. [on SciFinder(R)]

A review. Hydrogenation reactions of calix[4]furan and calix[4]pyrrole were reviewed together with the authors' own work in this field. A short description of the metal binding process of our new calix[4]pyrrolidines (= the fully satd. calix[4]pyrrole) with Cu was discussed as a typical example of the metal binding capacities. The new calix[4]pyrrolidines can be structurally classified as new stiffened macrocyclic crown ethers or as satd. analogs of the porphyrin-derived "pigments of life". [on SciFinder(R)]

In the title compds., C11H18N2, (II), and C13H20N2O, (III), the pyrrolidine rings have twist conformations. Compd. (II) crystallizes with two independent mols. (A and B) in the asym. unit. The mean planes of the pyrrole and pyrrolidine rings are inclined to one another by 89.99 (11) and 89.35 (10)° in mols. A and B, resp. In (III), the amide deriv. of (II), the same dihedral angle is much smaller, at only 13.42 (10)°. In the crystal structure of (II), the individual mols. are linked via N-H···N hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers, each with an R22(12) graph-set motif. In the crystal structure of (III), the mols. are linked via N-H···O hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers with an R22(16) graph-set motif. [on SciFinder(R)]

In the title compd., C36H50N4O2, the two pyrrolidine rings have envelope conformations. The conformation of the macrocycle is stabilized by N-H···N H bonds and a C-H···N interaction. The benzoyl ring is inclined to an adjacent pyrrole ring by 6.76(9)°, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.6285(10) Å. In the crystal, apart from a C-H···O and a C-H···? interaction, mols. are linked via an N-H···O H bond, giving helical chains propagating along [010]. Crystallog. data and at. coordinates are given.
