2-[(Cyclo-hex-3-en-1-ylmeth-oxy)meth-yl]-6-phenyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione.
Summary
This study details the crystal structure of a 1,2,4-triazine derivative, revealing an 'L' shaped molecule. The structure exhibits hydrogen bonding and pi-pi interactions, forming supramolecular chains and layers.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Organic Chemistry
- Supramolecular Chemistry
Background:
- 1,2,4-triazine derivatives are important scaffolds in medicinal chemistry.
- Understanding the solid-state structure of organic molecules is crucial for predicting their properties and designing new materials.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the crystal structure of a specific 1,2,4-triazine derivative.
- To investigate the intermolecular interactions and supramolecular assembly in the solid state.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was performed.
- Structural parameters including bond lengths, angles, and torsion angles were determined.
- Intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonds and pi-pi stacking were analyzed.
Main Results:
- The molecule adopts an 'L' shape due to the relative orientation of the planar heterocyclic and phenyl rings versus the cyclohexene moiety.
- Supramolecular chains are formed along the [001] direction via N-H···O hydrogen bonds.
- Chains are further organized into layers in the ac plane through π-π interactions.
- A seven-membered heterosynthon is formed through C-H···O contacts.
Conclusions:
- The crystal packing is governed by a combination of hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions.
- The observed supramolecular architecture provides insights into the self-assembly behavior of this class of compounds.
- The study highlights the importance of weak interactions in dictating the solid-state structure.

Aromatic Hydrocarbon Cations: Structural Overview
Cycloheptatriene is a neutral monocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbon that consists of an odd number of carbon atoms and an intervening sp3 carbon in the ring. The three double bonds in the ring correspond to 6 π electrons, which is a Huckel number, and therefore satisfies the criteria of 4n + 2 π electrons. However, the intervening sp3 carbon disrupts the continuous overlap of p orbitals. As a result, cycloheptatriene is not aromatic.

Carboxylic Acids to Methylesters: Alkylation using Diazomethane
Carboxylic acids react with diazomethane in an ether solvent via alkylation at the carboxylate oxygen atom to give methyl esters of the corresponding acid with excellent yields.
Disubstituted Cyclohexanes: cis-trans Isomerism
Depending upon the different spatial orientation of the substituents, the disubstituted cycloalkanes exhibit two types of stereoisomers. The cis isomers have the substituents on the same side of the ring, whereas the trans isomers have the substituents on the opposite sides. These stereoisomers exhibit different physical properties and cannot be interconverted without breaking the carbon-carbon bonds.
In cyclohexane, the substituents can occupy different positions generating distinct isomers.

Diazonium Group Substitution: –OH and –H
Nitrous acid, a weak acid, is prepared in situ via the reaction of sodium nitrite with a strong acid under cold conditions. This nitrous acid prepared in situ reacts with primary arylamines to form arenediazonium salts. Such reactions are known as diazotization reactions. As shown in Figure 1, the formation of arenediazonium salts begins with the decomposition of nitrous acid in an acidic solution to give nitrosonium ions.
Structure and Nomenclature of Epoxides
Cyclic ethers are heterocyclic compounds with an oxygen atom in the ring along with carbon atoms. They are named depending on the number of carbon atoms present in their ring system. Cyclic ethers with a three-membered ring system are called “oxirane”, four-membered ring systems as “oxetane”, five-membered ring systems as “oxolane”, and six-membered ring systems as “oxane”. The cyclic structure of these rings imposes angle strain, and this strain is more in the ring having a smaller number of...
Aryldiazonium Salts to Azo Dyes: Diazo Coupling
The reaction of weakly electrophilic aryldiazonium (also called arenediazonium) salts with highly activated aromatic compounds leads to the formation of products with an —N=N— link, called an azo linkage. This reaction, presented in Figure 1, is known as diazo coupling and occurs without the loss of the nitrogen atoms of the aryldiazonium salt. Highly activated aromatic compounds such as phenols or arylamines favor the diazo coupling reaction. The coupling generally occurs at the para position.
