Preparation and Structural Evaluation of the Conformational Polymorphs of α-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)methylene]-4-nitrobenzeneacetonitrile
TL;DR: In this article, X-ray crystallography of α−[(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]-4-nitrobenzeneacetonitrile (C16H12O3N2) is shown to exist in three polymorphic trans forms (I−III) and one cis configuration (IV).

Synthesis of polyhydroxylated 2H-azirines and 2-halo-2H-azirines from 3-azido-2,3-dideoxyhexopyranoses by alkoxyl radical fragmentation.
TL;DR: Thermolysis and photochemical studies of these vinyl azides and 1-halovinyl azides for the synthesis of polyhydroxylated 3-alkyl-2 H-azirines and the hitherto unknown 2-halo-3-alky-2H-azIRines have also been accomplished.

TL;DR: The reaction stereospecificity was explored by using electronic structure calculations, and UB3LYP/6-31G* methodology allowed the energy barriers for cyclopropane stereoisomerisation, diastereoisomeric VCPR and [3,3]-rearrangement to be ranked in agreement with experiment.
Structurally stimulated deprotonation/alumination of the TMP anion
TL;DR: A new compound [(TMEDA)K(μ-TMP*)(μ-iBu)Al(iBu)] was obtained where TMP* represents a CH3- and NH-deprotonated dianionic variant of TMP.

Ionic cocrystals of pharmaceutical compounds : sodium complexes of carbamazepine
Amanda R. Buist,Alan R. Kennedy +1 more
TL;DR: Three inorganic cocrystal (ICC) forms of carbamazepine (CBZ) have been synthesized, and their crystal structures are described in this paper, where three Na complexes have distorted square pyramidal NaO5 coordination geometries.
