Efficient asymmetric TADDOLs-organocatalyzed cycloaddition for the synthesis of allyltin derivatives

We report here the results obtained in the study of organocatalytic asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions to optimize the synthesis of stereo defined allyltin derivatives using (Z)-2-(1-cyclohexenyl)-1-ethenyl(trineophyl)stannane (1) as diene and substituted dienophiles in the presence of (4R,5R)-α,α,α′,α′-tetraphenyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (TADDOL, I) and analogs (4R,5R)-α,α,α′,α′-tetra(1-naphtyl)-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (II) and (4R,5R)-α,α,α′,α′-tetra(9-phenantryl)1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol (III) as chiral catalysts to enhance stereoselectivity through hydrogen bond activation of the dienophile. Catalyst II provided excellent results and ultrasonic radiation at low temperature showed the shorter reaction times.     

The synthesis and characterization of novel metalloporphyrazine containing crown ether linked calix[4]arene moieties

The synthesis and characterization of novel magnesium porphyrazine, peripherally symmetrically derived from 1,3-alternate 26,28-[35,36-dicyano-34,37-dithia-29,32,40,43-tetraoxa-35-en]calix[4]arene-crown-5, were carried out. This compound was prepared starting from cis-1,2-dicyano-1,2-ethylenedithiolate and 1,3-alternate 26,28-bis(5′-chloro-3′-oxapentyloxy)calix[4]arene-crown-5. The new macrocycle was characterized using the techniques of UV–vis, ¹H, ¹³C NMR, IR, MS and elemental analysis.     

Two structural analogous TbIII-indazole-radical complexes with different dynamic magnetic behaviors

The combination of Tb^III ion with two different indazole nitronyl nitroxide radicals resulted in two novel 2p-4f compounds, namely, [Tb(hfac)₃(5-IndazoleNIT)]₂ (1) (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone; 5-IndazoleNIT = 5-(1′-oxyl-3′-oxido-4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethyl- 4,5-hydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-indazole) and [Tb(hfac)₃(6-IndazoleNIT)]₂ (2) (6-IndazoleNIT = 6-(1′-oxyl-3′-oxido-4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethyl- 4,5-hydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-1H-indazole). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that compound 1 was binuclear complex, in which each 5-IndazoleNIT molecular acted as a bridging ligand linking two Ln^III ions through its oxygen atom of the NO group and nitrogen atom of the indazole ring to form a cyclic four-spin system. Complex 2 exhibited analogous binuclear cyclic four-spin systems with different space group. Compound 1 was found to take on slow relaxation of the magnetization, suggesting single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior, while no ac signal is noticed for compound 2. The different magnetic relaxation behaviors between 1 and 2 are due to the different location of the radical in the indazole ring. It is demonstrated that the location of the radical in the indazole ring played an important role in determining the spin dynamic for the lanthanide-radical system.

Three diiron sulfur clusters containing thiolato-1,8-naphthalene imide ligand, [Cp*Fe(μ-4,5-S₂-ⁿBu-NMI)(μ-CO)FeCp*] (3a), [Cp′Fe(μ-4,5-S₂-ⁿBu-NMI)(μ-CO)FeCp′] (3b), [CpFe(ⁿBu-NMI-S)]₂ (4) (3a: Cp* = η⁵-C₅Me₅; 3b: Cp′ = η⁵-C₅HMe₄; 4: Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅; ⁿBu-NMI = N-butyl-1,8-naphthalene imide) were synthesized via the reaction of N-butyl-4,5-disulfide-1,8-naphthalene imide and [Cp2Fe(μ-CO)CO]₂ (Cp2 = Cp*, Cp′, Cp). A partially desulfurated product [CpFe(ⁿBu-NMI-S)]₂ was determined in the reaction of [CpFe(μ-CO)CO]₂ with ⁿBu-NMI 4,5-dithiolate. The new complexes were structurally characterized by X-ray analysis.

Eine neue Synthese von 4,5-Dihydroxy-pyrazolen

A New Synthesis of 4,5-Dihydroxy-pyrazoles 1-Aryl-pyrazolin-5-ones 1 are converted by Knoevenagel condensation with acetone or by reaction with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane 6 to 1-aryl-4-isopropyliden-pyrazolin-5-ones 2 . The compounds 2 are epoxidized by hydrogen peroxide forming the spiro-epoxides 3 , which can be cleaved to 4,5-dihydroxy-pyrazoles 4 under acidic conditions. 4-Acetoxy-5-hydroxy-pyrazoles 13 are formed directly, when 3 are cleaved in presence of acetic anhydride. The 3,3′,3′-trimethyl-1-(4-nitro-phenyl)-pyrazolin-4-spiro-2′-oxiran-5-one 3b undergoes rearrangement to the 1,3-dioxolo[4,5-c]pyrazole 12 .     

A Novel Class of N-Sulfonyl and N-Sulfamoyl Noscapine Derivatives that Promote Mitotic Arrest in Cancer Cells

Noscapine displays weak anticancer efficacy and numerous research efforts have attempted to generate more potent noscapine analogues. These modifications included the replacement of the N-methyl group in the 6′-position with a range of substituents, where N-ethylcarbamoyl substitution was observed to possess enhanced anticancer activity. Herein, we describe advances in this area, namely the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a series of N-sulfonyl and N-sulfamoyl noscapine derivatives. A number of these sulfonyl-containing noscapinoids demonstrated improved activities compared to noscapine. ((R)-5-((S)-4,5-Dimethoxy-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl)-4-methoxy-6-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)sulfonyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinoline) ( 14 q ) displayed sub-micromolar activities of 560, 980, 271 and 443 nM against MCF-7, PANC-1, MDA-MB-435 and SK-MEL-5 cells, respectively. This antiproliferative effect was also maintained against drug-resistant NCI/Adr^RES cells despite high expression of the multidrug efflux pump, P-glycoprotein.     

Über neue Pyrazolverbindungen. IV Darstellung und Cyclisierungsverhalten einiger akzeptorsubstituierter N-(Pyrazol-3-yl)-thioharnstoffe

New Pyrazol Derivatives. IV. Preparation and Cyclization of Some Acceptor-Substituted N-(Pyrazol-3-yl)-thioureas . 3-Aminopyrazol-4-carboxylic acid derivatives ( 1 , 2 ) were transformed by reaction with different isothiocyanates R²NCS to N-(pyrazol-3-yl)-N^. -substituted thioureas ( 5 , 6 ). Ethyl 3-amino-1-benzylpyrazol-4-carboxylate reacts with CSCl₂ to form ethyl 1-benzyl-3-isothiocyanatopyrazol-4-carboxylate ( 3 ) which yields with amines the corresponding N-(pyrazol-3-yl)-N^. -substituted thioureas ( 5 ). As a byproduct in the reaction with CSCl₂ N,N^. -di-(pyrazol-3-yl)-thiourea ( 4 ) is formed. With hydrazine or phenylhydrazine N-(pyrazol-3-yl)-thiosemicarbazides ( 7a , b ) are obtained. The thioureas ( 5 , 6 ) can be cyclized in basic solution to 4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-on-6-thiones ( 8 ) which on alkylation form 6-alkylthio-4,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones ( 9 ). Methyl-N-(pyrazol-3-yl)-N^.-benzoylisothiourea ( 10 ) reacts with ethylamine to form N-benzoyl-N^. -ethyl-N^‥-(pyrazol-3-yl)-guanidine derivative ( 11 ) which on treatment with NaH in dimethylformamide yields 6-benzoylamino-5-ethyl-4,5-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one ( 12 ). By treatment with sulfuric acid the N-(pyrazol-3-yl)-thiourea derivatives ( 5 , 6 ) form new 6-amino substituted pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,3]thiazin-4-ones ( 13 ).     

Thia- and selenaheterocycles by a four-component reaction using elemental sulfur and selenium

The course of the four-component reactions of (2-benzimidazolyl) acetonitrile, carbondisulfide, isothiocyanate, and sulfur and selenium, respectively, is quite different. Whereas in the case of sulfur a tetracyclic [1,3]thiazolo[4′,5′:4,5]pyrimido[1,6-a]benzimidazol-2(3H)-thione is formed, a zwitterionic 7-(benzimidazolium-2-yl)-[1,2]thiaselenolo[2,3-b][1,2,4]thiaselenazole-6-thiolate (an azaselenadithiapentalene) is the product in the case of selenium. The structures of the products have been established by X-ray crystallography, and reaction mechanisms for their formation are proposed.     

Synthesis and characterization of a new zinc phthalocyanine containing macrobicyclic moieties

Novel zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) containing symmetrically eight triaza-tetraoxa macrobicycles on peripheral positions has been synthesized in a multistep reaction sequence.

The reaction of ethyl N-(6-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-thiothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)formimidate ( 1 ) with methyl-hydrazine, N,N′-dimethyl- and N,N′-diphenylhydrazines separately in refluxing ethanol resulted in hydrolysis of formimidate group to give ethyl 5-amino-2-methylthiothieno[2,3-d] pyrimidine-6-carboxylate ( 2 ). The reaction on 1 with methyl-hydrazine without solvent afforded ethyl 5-amino-2-(1-methyl-hydrazino)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate ( 3 ), which underwent hydrazone formation with p-nitrobenzaldehyde to give 4 . Treatment of 1 with N,N-dimethylhydrazine afforded a mixture of 3-dimethylamino-7-methylthiothieno[2,3-d:4,5-d']dipyrimidin-4(3H)-one ( 5 ) and 2 . Displacement of methylthio group in 5 with morpholine, piperidine and 4-methylpiperazine gave the corresponding 7-substituted derivatives 6a-c . The reaction of 1 with para-substituted phenylhydrazines resulted in the formation of 3-(p-substituted phenylamino)7-methylthiothieno[2,3-d:4,5-d']dipyrimidin-4 (3H)ones ( 7a-c ).

Zur Reaktion von 2-Aminothiophen-3-carbonitrilen mit Heterocumulenen

The Reaction of 2-Aminothiophene-3-carbonitriles with Heterocumulenes . The reaction of 2-aminothiophene-3-carbonitriles ( 1 ) with phenyl isothiocyanate does not yield the expected thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives but the substituted dithieno-[2′,3′:4, 3][2′,3′:8, 9]pyrimido[3, 4-a]pyrimid-7-thiones ( 4 ). The compounds 4 also may be synthesized from 1 and thiophosgene. Analogously, from 1 and phenyl isocyanate the substituted dithieno[2′,3′:4, 3][2′,3′:8, 9]pyrimido[3, 4-a]pyrimid-7-ones ( 9 ) arise in small yields. They are better obtainable from 1 and phosgene. Carbon disulphide react with 1 in pyridine to form a mixture of the thieno[2, 3-d]pyrimid-2, 4-dithione ( 10 ) and the condensed compound 4 . The ratio of products depends on the substituents in the 4, 5-position of 1 . The structures are investigated by n.m.r.-spectroscopy.      

Tetrathiafulvalene. XIX. Synthese und Eigenschaften elektronenleitender Poly-Dithiolenkomplexe mit Ethylentetrathiolat und Tetrathiafulvalentetrathiolat als Brückenliganden

Tetrathiafulvalenes. XIX. Synthesis and Properties of Electron Conducting Poly-Dithiolene Complexes with Ethylene Tetrathiolat and Tetrathiafulvalene Tetrathiolat as Bridge Ligands [1,3]-Dithiolo[4,5-d]-1,3-dithiol-2,5-dione 7 and 5-(5-oxo[1,3]-dithiolo[4,5–d]1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene)[1,3]-dithiolo[4,5–d]1,3–dithiol-2-one 8 were synthesised from 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolat. The ligands react with salts of iron, cobalt, nickel, palladium, platinum and copper to give the polymer complexes 22a–g and 23a–e , respectively. Irradiation of 7 in the presence of iron penta-, dicobalt octa- or nickel tetracarbonyl gives the corresponding dithiolene complexes 21a–c . The amorphous insoluble polymer complexes from types 21, 22 , and 23 have been characterised by i.r.-spectroscopy, susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The nickel complexes have the highest electrical conductivity (σ_RT ∼ 10⁻¹Ω⁻¹cm⁻¹, pellets) with a very low activation energy (0,045 eV, 100–300 K) A high electron delocalization in the direction of the polymer chain and an easy charge transfer from chain to chain is supposed.     

Geschützte Aminooxazoline der Arabinose und Ribose

Protected Aminooxazolines of Arabinose and Ribose The reaction of D-arabinose or D-ribose with cyanamide afforded 2-amino-1,2-oxazolines 1 which were treated with dihydropyran or ethylvinylether. In the presence of PTS the 3′,5′-di-THP- or 3′,5′-di-O-ethoxyethyl-D-arabino-(ribo)-furo-[1′,2′:4,5]-2-oxazolines 2 and 3 could be isolated as useful intermediates for the preparation of nucleosides. When the 2-aminooxazolines are treated with benzyloxycarbonylchloride or its p-substituted derivatives the N-3 atom of the oxazoline ring is preferentially substituted. Under these conditions the exocyclic amino function is always replaced and 2-oxo-3-benzyloxycarbonylderivatives 4 are obtained; only traces of the corresponding 2-aminoderivatives 5 are formed. Treatment of 4 with acetic anhydride, benzoylchloride, and benzoylcyanide, respectively, results in the 3′-, 5′-di-O-acyl derivatives 6 . Mild hydrolysis of the benzyloxycarbonyl group with trifluoroacetic acid yields the 3′,5′-di-O-acyl-D-arabino-(ribo)-furo-[1′,2′:4,5]-2-oxooxazolidines as further intermediates for the synthesis of nucleosides.     

Rhodium complexes with a new chiral amino-phosphinite ligand and their behavior as pre-catalysts in the hydroformylation of styrene

The new amino-phosphinite chiral ligand (S_a)-4-((S)-1-(diphenylphosphinooxy)-3-methylbutan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-3H-dinaphtho[2,1-c:1′,2′-e]azepine (1) has been synthesized and the corresponding more stable oxide has been characterized by X-ray analysis. The ligand behavior in styrene hydroformylation using [Rh(acac)(CO)₂] and [Rh(COD)₂]BF₄ as precursors has been studied. With both pre-catalysts, branched aldehyde 2-phenylpropanal was obtained in mild catalysis conditions with high yield and regioselectivity but as racemic mixture, indicating the loss of the ligand (1) during catalytic run. To support these results, the reactions of [Rh(acac)(CO)₂] and [Rh(COD)₂]BF₄ with the ligand 1 have been performed and the pre-catalysts behavior under CO/H₂ has been investigated.     

Three d10 coordination polymers based on rigid ligands with flexible functional groups: Syntheses,structures and luminescence

Three coordination polymers, namely, {[Zn(L)(BPY)]·DMF·H₂O}_n (1), {[Zn(L)(TPY)]·0.5H₂BDC·H₂O}_n (2), {[Cd(L)(H₂O)₂]·DMF}_n (3), have been synthesized based on a rigid linear carboxylate ligand (H₂L = 2′,5′-dimethoxy-[1,1′:4′,1″-terphenyl]-4,4″-dicarboxylic acid) and different lengths of pyridine ligands (TPY = 4,3′:5′,4″-terpyridine; BPY = 4,4′-bipyridine). These complexes have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, elemental analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction measurements. Complex 1 is a 6-connected 3-fold interpenetrating pcu net with point symbol {4¹² ∙ 6³}, 2 and 3 can be simplified as 4-connected sql nets with point symbol {4⁴ ∙ 6²}. In addition, their photoluminescent properties are also investigated in detail.

All the complexes have been characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, elemental analyses and X-ray diffraction analyses. The zirconium amides are active catalysts for the asymmetric hydroamination/cyclization of aminoalkenes, affording cyclic amines in good yields with moderate ee (enantiomeric excess) values.
