It was anticipated that the product would be a diastereomeric mixture. Surprisingly, only one isomer was obtained. The present work is an attempt to find the conformationnal properties accounting for those observations. X-ray structure determination of 3R-[p-hydroxybenzyl]-6-carbethoxy-2-oxopiperazine shows that the molecule adopts a folded conformation and that the absolute configuration at C6 is [R]. Investigation in solution using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance shows the existence of three conformers and discusses the relative populations. Those findings are also relevant in terms of the activity of such compounds at the opiate receptor level.

After heat treatment (750 uC under argon) of the [Bmim][FeCl 4 ] precursor confined within the silica matrix, the silica exotemplate was removed with HF leaving the mesoporous C/Fe 3 C hybrid behind. The surface areas and the pore sizes depend on the exotemplate and the surface areas a significantly larger than any other surface area reported for C/Fe 3 C hybrid materials so far. The approach is thus a prototype for the synthesis of high-surface area iron carbide-based hybrid materials with potential application in catalysis.

The aryl rings of (II) are almost coplanar, in contrast with compounds (I) and (III). The conformation of (II) is induced by an intramolecular N-H.O hydrogen bond between the amide and carboxylic acid groups.

Crystal structure of the inclusion complex of aegelinol in β-cyclodextrin was determined (a = 15.404(1) Å, b = 15.281(1) Å, c = 17.890(1) Å, α = 99.662(1), β = 113.4230(1), γ = 102.481(1)°, P1; R 1 = 6.71%) and allowed unambiguous determination of the absolute configuration of the stereogenic center of aegelinol. The pyranocoumarin guest is included within the cylindrical cavity formed by dimeric β-cyclodextrin molecules with a head-to-head arrangement. Crystal structure of aegelinol alone was also determined (a = 6.8921(3) Å, b = 11.4302(9) Å, c = 44.964(3) Å, P2 1 2 1 2 1 ; R 1 = 4.44%) and allowed precise determination of its geometry. Aegelinol crystallizes with three molecules in the asymmetric unit held together by H-bonds and π-stacking interactions.

These new interesting urea derivatives were obtained by reaction of substituted benzils with substituted phenylureas under microwave irradiation. Phenylthiourea, when reacted with benzil, gave 3-phenyl-thiohydantoin. Moreover, benzylurea, as phenethylurea, gave the corresponding 3-substituted hydantoin derivatives, demonstrating that only phenylurea derivatives can result in benzhydryl-phenylureas under the applied conditions. This new reaction proved to be an easy access to substituted 1-benzhydryl-3-phenyl-ureas.

Amino acids, like aspartic acid, lysine or arginine take a great part in this process and are implicated in several different formulations of therapeutic agent families, including antibiotics (amoxicillin from beta lactam class or cephalexin from cephalosporin class), NSAIDs (ketoprofen, ibuprofen and naproxen from profen family, acetylsalicylic acid) or antiarrhythmic agents (e.g. ajmaline). Even if more than a half of known pharmaceutical molecules possess a salifiable moiety, what can be done for new potential drug entity that cannot be improved by transformation into a salt? In this context, after a brief review of pharmaceutical salts on the market and the implication of amino acids in these formulations, we focus on the advantage of using amino acids even when the target compound is not salifiable by exploiting their zwitterionic potentialities for cocrystal edification. We summarize here a series of new examples coming from literature to support the advantages of broadening the application of amino acids in formulation for new drug substances improvement research for nonsalifiable molecules.

One elegant technique used to obtain such cocrystals is grinding the components together, either alone or in the presence of a small amount of solvent (so called solvent-drop grinding). Dry grinding has been used here to obtain cocrystals (actually a hydrated salt) of L-Proline and MnCl 2 . In that context, a new crystalline structure of a multicomponent molecular complex composed of L-Proline and MnCl 2 is here reported. The complex was characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. This study underlines the interest of grinding as a method to synthesize original solid-state complexes. It also emphasizes the advantage of combining calorimetric and X-ray diffraction to characterize the newly formed solids. Finally, our work provides structural basis for the role that L-Proline can play within multicomponent solid-state molecular complexes, in particular as a potential cocrystal former acting by both ionic and H-bond interactions when combined to molecules of pharmaceutical interest.
