Crystal structure of dimethyl 2-((2Z,5Z)-5-(2-meth-oxy-2-oxo-ethyl-idene)-2-{(E)-[2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclo-hex-2-enyl-idene]hydrazinyl-idene}-4-oxo-thia-zolidin-3-yl)fumarate

The crystal structure and the conformation of the title compound, C22H27N3O7S, were determined from the synthetic pathway and by X-ray analysis. This compound is a new 4-thia-zolidinone derivative prepared and isolated as pure product from thio-semicarbazone carvone. The mol-ecule is built up from an oxo-thia-zolidine ring tetra-substituted by a meth-oxy-oxo-ethyl-idene, a maleate, an oxygen and a cyclo-hexyl-idene-hydrazone. The cyclo-hexyl-idene ring is statistically disordered over two positions, resulting in an inversion of configuration for the substituted carbon.

Synthesis, X-ray, DFT and photophysical properties of some new ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-ones and their derivatives

Cyclocondensation of thiosemicarbazone of 2-acetylferrocene with α-haloacids and α-haloketones afford new ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-ones and ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazoles respectively. Ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-one is easily converted into enamino ketone with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA). The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic means and the structure of the new ferrocenyl hydrazono thiazolidin-4-one (3a) was determined by means of X-ray crystallography. The photophysical properties of these compounds were studied by means of UV/visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out with Gaussian 09W using B3LYP density functional method and 6-31G (d) basis set. (1)H and (13)C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) have been calculated and correlated with experimental results. Antimicrobial activity studies of some new compounds have been reported.
