Palladium N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Synthesis from Benzimidazolium Salts and Catalytic Activity in Carbon-carbon Bond-forming Reactions
Published on: July 30, 2017
2,2,4-Trimethyl-7-nitro-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-5-ium perchlorate
Abstract:
In the title mol-ecular salt, C(12)H(16)N(3)O(2) (+)·ClO(4) (-), the nitro group is close to being coplanar with the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 8.1 (3)°]. The seven-membered ring has a maximum deviation of 0.502 (3) Å at the C atom between the dimethyl- and methyl-substituted C atoms. In the crystal, the components are linked into infinite sheets lying parallel to the bc plane by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A short O⋯N contact of 2.896 (4) Å occurs within the sheets and a short O⋯O contact of 2.608 (4) Å occurs between the sheets.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
