Synthesis and crystal structure of (2S,4aR,8aR)-6-oxo-2,4a,6,8a-tetra-hydro-pyrano[3,2-b]pyran-2-carboxamide.

ABSTRACT: The pyran-opyran amide (2S,4aR,8aR)-6-oxo-2,4a,6,8a-tetra-hydro-pyrano[3,2-b]pyran-2-carboxamide, C9H9NO4, 3, was prepared by a chemoselective hydration of the corresponding nitrile, 2, using a heterogeneous catalytic method based on copper(II) supported on mol-ecular sieves, in the presence of acetaldoxime. Compound 3 belongs to a new class of pyran-opyrans that possess anti-bacterial and phytotoxic activity. Crystallographic analysis of 3 shows a bent structure for the cis-fused bicyclic pyran-opyran, similar to nitrile 2. Evidence of an intra-molecular hydrogen bond involving the amide group and ring oxygen was not observed; however, two separate inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions were observed between the amide hydrogen atoms and adjacent carbonyl oxygen atoms along the b-
