Abstract
TETRAMETHOPRIM (9) and PENTAMETHOPRIM (10), both prepared from the corresponding benzaldehydes 3 and 6 by conventional procedures, did not exhibit noteworthy antibacterial activity in vitro. A single crystal Xβray analysis of 9 and 10 provided evidence that the outβofβplane methoxy groups in the two compounds created a completely different topographical situation to that present in TRIMETHOPRIM, and less ideal for the binding to bacterial dihydrofolate reductase.

tetrathiacyclooctadecane (3) have been obtained by intermolecular cyclization of 1,3-bis(2-bromoethyl)adamantane (4) with thioacetamide using a high-dilution technique. The reaction is concentration-dependent. The crystal structures of 1, 2, and 3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffra
