The title compound, C27H26N2O6S2, possesses potential antimicrobial, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activity. This compound has three tautomeric forms, which relative energies were estimated with quantum-chemical calculations. All these tautomers (dienol form 7A, keto – enol form 7B, and diketo form 7C) were optimized by the M06 – 2X/cc-pVTZ method in a vacuum, using the PCM model with chloroform and DMSO as solvent. The diketo form of the title compound proved to be the most energetically favourable as compared to the keto – enol or dienol forms. The diketo form can exist as three possible stereoisomers with the s...

Crystal structures of three homologues with increasing ring size: 2-methoxy-4-(thiophen-2-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-3-carbonitrile, 2-methoxy-4-(thiophen-2-yl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-cyclohepta[b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile and 2-methoxy-4-(thiophen-2-yl)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrocycloocta[b]pyridine-3-carbonitrile
The title compounds, C15H14N2OS (1a), C16H16N2OS (1b), and C17H18N2OS (1c), form a homologous series in which the size of the saturated ring increases from six- to eight-membered (with four, five and six methylene groups respectively). For 1b and 1c, the central (CH2)n moieties are all displaced to the same side of their ring, and the CH2 — CH2 — CH2 angles are much wider than the standard sp3 value; a database search indicates that these are general features of such ring systems. For 1a, the thiophene ring lies with the sulfur atom on the opposite side of the Cthiophene — Cpyridine bond to the cyano group, in contra...
