Hydrogen bond-directed supramolecular polymorphism leading to soft and hard molecular ordering

Transformation of metastable supramolecular stacks of hydrogen-bonded rosettes composed of an ester-containing barbiturated naphthalene into crystalline nanosheets occurs through the rearrangement of hydrogen-bonding patterns. The involvement of the ester group in the crystalline hydrogen-bonded pattern is demonstrated, guiding us to a new molecular design that can afford supramolecular polymorphs with soft and hard molecular packing.

SYNTHESIS OF 6,7-SUBSTITUTED 2-NAPHTHOLS

6,7-Substituted 2-naphthols were obtained with 52-70percent yields by the condensation of the benzoate or acetate of α,α,α',α'-tetrabromo-3,4-xylenol with various dienophiles, followed by hydrolysis of the obtained esters.
