Synthesis of N-substituted 3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethyl)-3-hydroxyindolin-2-ones and their conversion to N-substituted (E)-3-(2-aryl-2-oxoethylidene)indolin-2-ones: synthetic sequence, spectroscopic characterization and structures of four 3-hydroxy compounds and five oxoethylidene products

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of N-(2,6-di-methyl-phen-yl)-2-[3-hy-droxy-2-oxo-3-(2-oxoprop-yl)indolin-1-yl]acetamide

The cup-shaped conformation of the title mol-ecule, C₂₁H₂₂N₂O₄, is largely determined by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, double layers of mol-ecules are formed by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed, which confirms the regions that are active for inter-molecular inter-actions.

Synthesis, Characterization, and DFT Studies of N-(3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)stearamide

The novel N-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)stearamide 3 was prepared in moderate yield by a solventless direct amidation reaction of stearic acid 1 with 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine 2 at 140 °C for 24 h under metal- and catalyst-free conditions. This practical method was conducted in air without any special treatment or activation. The fatty acid amide 3 was fully characterized by IR, UV–Vis, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Moreover, molecular electrostatic potential studies, determination of quantum descriptors, fundamental vibrational frequencies, and intensity of vibrational bands were computed by density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP method with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set in gas phase. Simulation of the infrared spectrum using the results of these calculations led to good agreement with the observed spectral patterns.
