S. Bohm et al., STERICALLY CROWDED HETEROCYCLES .2. CONFORMATIONAL STRUCTURE OF DIPHENYL-3-OXOPROPENYL]-IMIDAZO[1,2-ALPHA]PYRIDINE AND RELATED-COMPOUNDS, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 60(1), 1995, pp. 115-126
Conformational behaviour of -1,3-diphenyl-3-oxopropenyl]imidazo[1,2-a]
pyridine I is studied using a molecular isoenergy map calculated by th
e PM3 method. A predicted potency of this approach is discussed with r
espect to the experimental solid state structures of related compounds
I - IV. Complete X-ray structures of 7-methyl derivative IV and 11-ph
enyl derivative V are reported.
