Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tri(4-(3-hydroxy2-ethyl-4-pyridinone-1-yl)-aniline Condensation Salicylaldehydato) Monohydratotricopper(II)Dimethylformamide Monohydrate Solvate

The title complex [Cu3L3(H2O)]DMFH2O (H2L = 4-(3-hydroxy-2-ethyl-4- pyridinone-1-yl)-aniline condensation salicylaldehyde) was obtained. The single-crystal X-ray study shows that it is a trinuclear compound [Cu3(C20H15N2O3)3(H2O)]DMFH2O. The coordi- nation sphere about each copper ion in the complex consists of two oxygen atoms from hydroxylpyridinone moiety of one ligand and one oxygen and one nitrogen atoms from salicyladehyde Schiff-base moiety of another ligand arranged in a slightly distorted square planar geometry. Among the three copper ions, one (Cu(2)) is coordinated by the other oxygen atom of water molecule on the fifth coordinate position to form a distorted square pyramid geometry. The crystal is of monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 12.9202(5), b = 27.197(1), c = 17.0116(7) ? b = 100.588(1), V = 5875.9(4) 3, Z = 4, C63H57N7O12Cu3, Mr = 1294.78, Dc = 1.464 g/cm3, m = 1.146 mm-1, F(000) = 2668, R = 0.0784 and wR = 0.1546 for 6926 observed reflections with I > 2s(I). The differences of coordinate bond lengths are observed between anhydrous and hydrous units: in the former unit, the average bond lengths are 1.978 ?for CuN (azomethine), 1.883 ?for CuO (phenolic) in Schiff-base moiety, 1.959 ?for CuO (keto), and 1.919 ?for CuO (hydroxy) in hydroxypyridinone moiety; while those in the latter are longer with the following corresponding values: 1.985(5), 1.908(5), 1.993(5) and 1.919(4) ? respectively. The Cu(2)O (water) bond length is 2.375(6) ?

The bond lengths from iron to oxygens are 1.980(1)?for the ketone oxygens and 2.071(1)?for the hydroxy oxygens. The molecule exhibits the expected propeller shape, and the angle of the trigonal twist is 48.37. The dihedral angles are 0.5(2)?between chelate ring plane and pyridine ring plane and 71.31(7)?between pyridine ring plane and benzene ring plane. The solvent H2O(O(3) and O(4)) molecules are linked with O(2) and O(1) by hydrogen bonds with bond lengths 2.900(1) and 2.999(1)? respectively.

One-step Synthesis of 5-Ethyl-2-methylpyridine from NH4HCO3 and C2H5OH Under Hydrothermal Condition

A simple one-pot approach to synthesizing 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine（EMP） was established using NHaHCO3 and C2H5OH as starting materials and commercial Cu2O as catalyst and oxidant under hydrothermal con- dition. Different reaction conditions were researched and the optimal ones were achieved by studying the parameters, that could affect the yield of product and by considering the energy and resource saving. The present study provided an eco-friendlv way to obtaining EMP with lower volatility using fewer toxic starting materials.
