Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Antineoplasmic Activity of 3,6,8-Tribromo-5-hydroxy-2,7-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrochromen-4-one

The reaction of 5-hydroxyl-7-methoxyflavone（tectochrysin） with bromine obtained 3,6,8-tribromo-5-hydroxy-2,7-dimethoxy-2,3-dihydrochromen-4-one（1）, which was characterized by FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, 13C-NMR, elemental analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Complex 1 belongs to the monoclinic system, space group pbca with a = 9.4673（8）, b = 17.9938（15）, c = 21.2004（17） A, V = 3611.5（5） A3, Z = 8, μ = 0.6726 mm^（-1）, Dc = 1.795 g/cm3, F（000） = 2080, the final R = 0.0358 and wR = 0.0644 with I 2σ（I）. The results show that the addition reaction occurs at the carbon-carbon double bond（C2 and C3） of tectochrysin and 1 belongs to dihydroflavone. The reaction mechanism was discussed and the structure revealed that the crystal structure of 1 is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds and C–Br···π interactions. The antitumor ability of 1 was evaluated against human leukemia cells（K562）, human breast cancer cells（MCF-7） and human lung cancer cells（A549）. 1 exhibited potent antitumor activities against human leukemia cells（K562） with the IC50 values of 18.9 μmol/L.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Thermal Behavior of 4,5-Dimethoxy-2-(dinitromethylene)imidazolidine

A new energetic material,4,5-dimethoxy-2-（dinitromethylene）imidazolidine（DMDNI）,was synthesized by the reaction of 4,5-dihydroxyl-2-（dinitromethylene）-imidazolidine（DDNI） and methanol,and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.DMDNI crystallized in triclinic space group P1,with crystal data a=0.4324（4） nm,b=1.3599（11） nm,c=1.7503（14） nm,α=77.406（14）°,β=84.494（15）°,γ=87.976（14）°,V=0.9997（14） nm 3,Z=4,μ=0.140 mm-1,F（000）=488,D c =1.556 g/cm ^3,R 1 =0.0773 and wR 2 =0.1574.Thermal decomposition of DMDNI was studied,and its thermal decomposition process was divided into two stages.The first stage was a melting process and the second stage was an exothermic decomposition process.The enthalpy,apparent activation energy and pre-exponential constant of the exothermic decomposition reaction are-491.5 J/g,142.3 kJ/mol and 10 14.24 s^-1,respectively.The critical temperature of thermal explosion is 162.47 °C.DMDNI has a lower thermal stability than DDNI but it is close to that of 4,5-diacetoxyl-2-（dinitromethylene）-imidazolidine（DADNI）.
