Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface and frontier mol-ecular orbital analysis of 10-benzyl-9-(4-hydroxy-3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexa-hydro-acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione

In the fused ring system of the title mol-ecule, C31H35NO4, the conformation of the central di-hydro-pyridine ring is inter-mediate between boat and envelope with the N and the opposite C atoms lying out of the basal plane. The conformations of terminal rings are close to envelope, with the atoms substituted by two methyl groups as the flaps. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into helical chains. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (63.2%), O⋯H/H⋯O (20.1%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (14.4%) contacts. Quantum chemical calculations of the frontier mol-ecular orbitals were carried out to characterize the chemical reactivity of the title compound.

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface and frontier mol-ecular orbital analysis of 10-benzyl-9-(3-eth-oxy-4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)-3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexa-hydro-acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione

In the fused ring system of the title compound, C32H37NO4, the central di-hydro-pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, the mean and maximum deviations of the di-hydro-pyridine ring being 0.1429 (2) and 0.2621 (2) Å, respectively. The two cyclo-hexenone rings adopt envelope conformations with the tetra-substituted C atoms as flap atoms. The benzene and phenyl rings form dihedral angles of 85.81 (2) and 88.90 (2)°, respectively, with the mean plane of the di-hydro-pyridine ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a helical chain along the b-axis direction. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (65.2%), O⋯H/H⋯O (18.8%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (13.9%) contacts. Quantum chemical calculations for the frontier mol-ecular orbitals were undertake to determine the chemical reactivity of the title compound.

A Facile and Catalyst-free Synthesis of Hexahydroacridine-1,8(2H,5H )-dione and Octahydroacridin-10(1H )-yl)thiourea Derivatives: Inter- and Intramolecular Aza-Michael addition

An easy and convenient technique for the one-pot synthesis of novel compounds of hexahydroacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione and octahydroacridin-10(1H)-yl) thiourea derivatives has been developed by the reaction of the octahydro-1H-xanthenes with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and thiosemicarbazide in ethylene glycol, which is a green solvent, under mild reaction conditions. IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction analysis were used to identify the structures of these compounds.

Crystal structure of 9-(3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hydroxy-phen-yl)-10-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)-3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexa-hydro-acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione

The title compound C25H29BrClNO4, comprises a 3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-tetra-hydro-acridine-1,8-dione ring system that carries a hy-droxy-ethyl substituent on the acridine N atom and a 3-bromo-5-chloro-2-hy-droxy-phenyl ring on the central methine C atom of the di-hydro-pyridine ring. The benzene ring is inclined to the acridine ring system at an angle of 89.84 (6)° and this conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond between the hy-droxy substituent on the benzene ring and one of the carbonyl groups of the acridinedione unit. In the crystal, O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds combine to stack mol-ecules in inter-connected columns propagating along the a-axis direction.

Antiinflammatory, analgesic and kinase inhibition activities of some acridine derivatives

9-Chloro-2,4-(un)substituted acridines (1) on condensation with sulpha- diazine, sulphathiazole, and sulphaacetamide gave condensation products 3a-h. 3-Aryl-4-phenyl-2-imino-4-thiazolines (4) on condensation with 9-chloro-2,4-(un)substituted acridines (1) gave condensation products 5a–5o. Both 3a–3h and 5a–5o were purified by crystallization or by chromatography. Structures assigned to 3a–3h and 5a–5o are supported by correct spectral data. Antiinflammatory and analgesic activity screening of 3a, 3e, 3f and 5a–5c, 5e, 5g, 5i, 5m, 5n were carried out using carrageenin induced paw oedema and phenyl quinone writhing assay. Some of the compounds exhibited interesting antiinflammatory or analgesic activities.
