S. Ianelli et al., UNUSUAL HETARYNIC CONDENSATION OF 3-BROMO-2-ETHOXYPYRIDINE WITH DIISOPROPYL KETONE ENOLATE IN THE PRESENCE OF A COMPLEX BASE, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 52, 1996, pp. 2097-2100
The crystal structure analysis of ro-9-isopropyl-10,10-dimethyl-2,7-di
aza-9-anthrol, C21H28N2O3, obtained from the condensation of 3-bromo-2
-ethoxypyridine with diisopropyl ketone enolate in the presence of the
complex base NaNH2.(t)BuONa, shows the tricyclic nature of the compou
nd and allows interpretation of the reaction mechanism. The structure
and conformation of the two independent molecules present in the asymm
etric unit are compared with molecular modelling results.
