Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-[(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)-oxy]acetic acid dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate.

The title compound, C11H8O5·(CH3)2SO, is a new coumarin derivative. The asymmetric unit contains two coumarin mol-ecules (A and B) and two di-methyl-sulfoxide solvent mol-ecules (A and B). The dihedral angle between the pyran and benzene rings in the chromene moiety is 3.56 (2)° for mol-ecule A and 1.83 (2)° for mol-ecule B. In mol-ecule A, the dimethyl sulfoxide sulfur atom is disordered over two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.782 (5):0.218 (5). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. In addition, there are also C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions present within the layers. The inter-molecular contacts in the crystal have been analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, which indicate that the most important contributions to the packing are from H⋯H (33.9%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (41.2%) contacts.

The crystal structures of two new coumarin derivatives: 2-(4-{2-[(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)-oxy]acet-yl}piperazin-1-yl)acetamide and N-(2,4-di-meth-oxy-benz-yl)-2-[(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)-oxy]acetamide.

The title compounds, 2-(4-{2-[(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)-oxy]acet-yl}piperazin-1-yl)acetamide, C17H19N3O5, (I), and N-(2,4-di-meth-oxy-benz-yl)-2-[(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)-oxy]acetamide, C20H19NO6, (II), are new coumarin derivatives. In compound (I), the six-membered piperazine adopts a chair conformation. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the chromene ring and amide plane is 82.65 (7)° in (I) and 26.2 (4)° in (II). The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the chromene ring and the four planar C atoms of the piperazine ring in (I) and the benzene ring in (II) are 87.66 (6) and 65.0 (4)°, respectively. There are short intra-molecular contacts in both mol-ecules forming S(5) ring motifs, viz. N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O in (I), and N-H⋯O and C-H⋯N in (II). In the crystals of both compounds, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [10] in (I) and [010] in (II). The chains are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ab plane in the crystals of both compounds. In the crystal of (I), there are also C-H⋯π and offset π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.691 (1) Å] present within the layers. In the crystal of (II), there are only weak offset π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.981 (6) Å] present within the layers. The inter-molecular contacts in the crystals of both compounds have been analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots.

Synthesis of BF3 catalyzed Mannich derivatives with excellent ee from phenylpropanolamine, study of their antimicrobial activity and molecular docking.

Antimicrobial agents 4a-g and 5a-g with very good potency were synthesized with 100% ee from phenylpropanolamine (norephedrine) by BF3 catalyzed three components one pot Mannich reaction in good yields. Obtained compounds were characterized using spectral techniques. Antimicrobial study of these compounds revealed a good to very high potential activity against tested microbes when compared to standard antimicrobial drugs streptomycin and ketoconazole. These synthesized compounds exhibited significant minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Amongst compound 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, 5a, and 5e exhibited very high potent MIC values against tested twelve bacteria and three fungi when compared to control. When subjected to molecular docking, in silico studies revealed significant binding energies ranging from -7.06 to -8.90 kcal/mol for all obtained compounds towards target receptor DNA topoisomerase IV and amongst compounds 4b and 4d have shown maximum binding energies 8.70 and 8.90 kcal/mol, respectively.
