The first enantiomerically pure [n]triangulanes and analogues: sigma-[n]helicenes with remarkable features

(M)-(-)- and (P)-(+)-Trispiro[2.0.0.2.1.1]nonanes [(M)- and (P)-3] as well as (M)-(-)- and (P)-(+)-tetraspiro[2.0.0.0.2.1.1.1]undecanes [(M)- and (P)-4]-enantiomerically pure unbranched [4]- and [5]triangulanes-have been prepared starting from racemic bicyclopropylidenecarboxylic [(1RS)-12] and exo-dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptane-1-carboxylic [(1RS,3SR)-13] acids. The optical resolutions of rac-12 and rac-13 furnished enantiomerically pure acids (S)-(+)-12, (R)-(-)-12, (1R,3S)-(-)-13, and (1S,3R)-(+)-13. The ethyl ester (R)-25 of the acid (R)-(-)-12 was cyclopropanated to give carboxylates (1R,3R)-26 and (1R,3S)-26. The ester (1R,3S)-26 and acids (1R,3S)-13 and (1S,3R)-13 were converted into enantiomerically pure methylene[3]triangulanes (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28. An alternative approach consisted of an enzymatic deracemization of endo-[(1SR,3SR)-dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptyl]methanol (rac-20) or anti-[(1SR,3RS)-4-methylenespiropentyl]methanol (rac-18). This afforded (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28 (starting from rac-20), as well as enantiomerically pure (M)-(-)- and (P)-(+)-1,4-dimethylenespiropentanes [(M)- and (P)-23] starting from rac-18. The methylenetriangulanes (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28 were cyclopropanated furnishing (M)- and (P)-3. The rhodium-catalyzed cycloaddition of ethyl diazoacetate onto (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28 yielded four diastereomeric ethyl trispiro[2.0.0.2.1.1]nonane-1-carboxylates in approximately equal proportions. The enantiomerically pure esters (1R,3S,4S)- and (1S,3R,4R)-30 were isolated by careful distillation and then transformed into [5]triangulanes (M)- and (P)-4 using the same sequence of reactions as applied for (M)- and (P)-3. The structures of the key intermediates (R)-12 and rac-31 were confirmed by X-ray analyses. Although [4]- and [5]triangulanes have no chromophore which would lead to any significant absorption above 200 nm, they have remarkably high specific rotations even at 589 nm with [alpha](20)D=-192.7 [(M)-3, c=1.18, CHCl(3))] or +373.0 [(P)-4, c=1.18, CHCl(3))]. This remarkable optical rotatation is in line with their helical arrangement of sigma bonds, as confirmed by a full valence space single excitation configuration interaction treatment (SCI) in conjunction with DFT computations at the B3LYP/TZVP//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory which reproduce the ORD very well. Thus, it is appropriate to call the helically shaped unbranched [n]triangulanes the "sigma-[n]helicenes", representing the sigma-bond analogues of the aromatic [n]helicenes.     

Application of N-(ω-bromoalkyl)tetrazoles for the preparation of bitopic ligands containing pyridylazole chelators or azole rings as building blocks for iron(II) spin crossover polymeric materials

1-(3-Bromopropyl)tetrazole, 2-(3-bromopropyl)tetrazole, 1-(4-bromobutyl)tetrazole, and 2-(4-bromobutyl)tetrazole were synthesized with the aim to prepare flexible bitopic ligands contaning 1- or 2-substituted tetrazole ring linked through 1,3-propylene or 1,4-butylene spacer with pyridylazole or azole unit. Twenty-six novel ligands i.e., α-(pyridylazolyl)-ω-(tetrazolyl)alkanes, α-(tetrazolyl)-ω-(1,2,3-triazolyl)alkanes, and α-(tetrazol-1-yl)-ω-(tetrazol-2-yl)alkanes were prepared by an alkylation of sodium salts of 5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazole, 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole, 1,2,3-triazole, and 1,2,3,4-tetrazole with N-(ω-bromoalkyl)tetrazoles. An alkylation of 5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazole, 1,2,3,4-tetrazole, and 1,2,3-triazole afforded both N1- and N2-regioisomer whereas in the case of 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole and 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole only N1 isomers were isolated. The positions of alkylation were confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies of 1-(5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazol-2-yl)-4-(tetrazol-1-yl)butane, 1-(3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-4-(tetrazol-2-yl)butane, 1-(3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-yl)-4-(tetrazol-1-yl)butane, and 1-(tetrazol-1-yl)-4-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)butane. Preliminary investigations of magnetic properties of iron(II) complex with 1-(3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-4-(tetrazol-1-yl)butane revealed that obtained product exhibit thermally induced spin transition accompanied by the thermochromic effect.     

The Williamson Reaction: A New and Efficient Method for the Alternate Resolution of 2,2'-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl and 1,1'-Binaphthalene-2,2'-diol

Treatment of 2,2'-bis(bromomethyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl [(R,S)-2] with 1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol (+)-(R)-1 and cesium or potassium carbonate in refluxing acetone, gave the diastereoisomeric dioxacyclophanes (-)-(R,S)-3a and (+)-(R,R)-3b, both obtained in high yield, and the cyclic tetraether (+)-(R,R,R,S)-4 as isolated side product. Boron tribomide-promoted ether cleavage of 3a and 3b gave optically pure (-)-(S)-2 and (+)-(R)-2, respectively, and the recovered diol (+)-(R)-1. Alternatively, the same reaction sequence furnished the resolved diols (-)-(S)-1 and (+)-(R)-1 from (R,S)-1 and (+)-(R)-2, as well as optically pure 2,2'-bis(chloromethyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl (+)-(R)-5 from the racemic dibromide (R,S)-2 by using boron trichloride for ether cleavage.     

Synthesis and pharmacological effects of optically active 2-[4-(4-benzhydryl-1-piperazinyl)phenyl]-ethyl methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate hydrochloride

Optically active 2-[4-(4-benzhydryl-1-piperazinyl)phenyl]ethyl methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate [(S)-(+)-1 and (R)-(-)-1] hydrochlorides were synthesized with high optical purities from (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-1,4-dihydro-5-methoxycarbonyl-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)- 3-pyridinecarboxylic acids [(R)-(-)-6 and (S)-(+)-6], which are available from (+/-)-6 by optical resolution using quinidine and cinchonidine, respectively. From pharmacological investigations of (S)-(+)-1 and (R)-(-)-1 such as the antihypertensive effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats and inhibition of [3H]nimodipine binding to rat cardiac membrane homogenate, the active form of 1 was defined to be the (4S)-(+)-enantiomer of 1.     

Substitution, cage functionalization, and oxidation of the charge-compensated triruthenium monocarbollide cluster complex [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7,11-(mu-H)2-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)6}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8

The compound [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7,11-(mu-H)2-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)6}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 1a reacts with PMe3 or PCy3(Cy = cyclo-C6H11) to give the structurally different species [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7,11-(mu-H)2-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)5(PMe3)}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 4 and [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-11-(mu-H)-2,7,11-{Ru2(mu-H)(CO)5(PCy3)}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8]5, respectively. A symmetrically disubstituted product [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7,11-(mu-H)2-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)4(PMe3)2}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 6 is obtained using an excess of PMe3. In contrast, the chelating diphosphines 1,1'-(PPh2)2-Fe(eta-C5H4)2 and 1,2-(PPh2)2-closo-1,2-C2B10H10 react with 1a to yield oxidative-insertion species [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-11-(mu-H)-2,7,11-{Ru2(mu-H)(micro-[1',1'-(PPh2)2-Fe(eta-C5H4)2])(CO)4}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 7 and [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-11-(mu-H)-2,7,11-{Ru2(mu-H)(CO)4(1',2'-(PPh2)2-closo-1',2'-C2B10H10)}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 8, respectively. In toluene at reflux temperatures, 1a with Bu(t)SSBu(t) gives [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7-(mu-SBu(t))-11-(mu-H)-2,7,11-{Ru2(mu-H)(mu-SBu(t))(CO)4}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 9, and with Bu(t)C [triple bond] CH gives [1-SMe2-2,2-(CO)2-7-{mu:eta2-(E)-CH=C(H)Bu(t)}-11-{mu:eta2-(E)-CH=C(H)Bu(t)}-2,7,11-{Ru2(CO)5}-closo-2,1-RuCB10H8] 10. In the latter, two alkyne groups have inserted into cage B-H groups, with one of the resulting B-vinyl moieties involved in a C-H...Ru agostic bond. Oxidation of 1a with I2 or HgCl2 affords the mononuclear ruthenium complex [1-SMe2-2,2,2-(CO)3-closo-2,1-RuCB10H10] 11.     

Synthesis,optical, and spectroscopic characterisation of substituted 3-phenyl-2-arylacrylonitriles

The Knoevenagel condensation between aldehydes and substrates with active methylene groups was applied to synthesise a series of 3-(4-substituted phenyl)-2-arylacrylonitriles (aryl = phenyl or pyridyl). Chloro-, fluoro-, or dimethylamino-substituted aryls and a cyano group attached to the double bond of acrylonitrile were studied. Previous studies showed that the condensation products were E isomers. The compounds synthesised were: 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, and 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile. Structures were confirmed by IR, MS, and NMR spectral data. Molar absorption coefficient, absorbance, and fluorescence emission spectra were compared in order to evaluate the effects of substituents on phenyl and the position of nitrogen in pyridine moiety on the electronic properties of acrylonitrile derivatives prepared.     

Linked porphyrin systems

Porphyrin monomers, 5-(monopyridyl)-10,15,20-(triphenyl)porphyrin ( 1 ), 5,10-(dipyridyl)-15,20-(diphenyl)-porphyrin ( 2 ), and 5,15-(dipyridyl)-10,20-{diphenyl)porphyrin ( 3 ), were linked by hydrocarbon chains to form a series of dimers, trimers and polymers. The 5-(monopyridyl)-10,15,20-(triphenyl)porphyrin monomers were linked by 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 carbon chains through the alkylation of the pyridine nitrogens using the appropriate diiodoalkane to form positively charged linked dimers 4–8 . A trimer 12 was synthesized from two 5-(monopyridyl)-10,15,20-(triphenyl)porphyrin and one 5,10-(dipyridyl)-15,20-(diphenyl)porphyrin linked by a six carbon chain. Hydrocarbon linked (5,10-(dipyridyl)-15,20-(diphenyl)porphyrin)_n ( 13 ) and (5,15-(dipyridyl)-10,20-(diphenyl)porphyrin)_n ( 14 ) were also prepared.     

Influence of terpyridine as pi-acceptor ligand on the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of NO with ruthenium(III) complexes

The kinetics of the unusually fast reaction of cis- and trans-[Ru(terpy)(NH3)2Cl]2+ (with respect to NH3; terpy=2,2':6',2"-terpyridine) with NO was studied in acidic aqueous solution. The multistep reaction pathway observed for both isomers includes a rapid and reversible formation of an intermediate Ru(III)-NO complex in the first reaction step, for which the rate and activation parameters are in good agreement with an associative substitution behavior of the Ru(III) center (cis isomer, k1=618 +/- 2 M(-1) s(-1), DeltaH(++) = 38 +/- 3 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = -63 +/- 8 J K(-1) mol(-1), DeltaV(++) = -17.5 +/- 0.8 cm3 mol(-1); k -1 = 0.097 +/- 0.001 s(-1), DeltaH(++) = 27 +/- 8 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = -173 +/- 28 J K(-1) mol(-1), DeltaV(++) = -17.6 +/- 0.5 cm3 mol(-1); trans isomer, k1 = 1637 +/- 11 M(-1) s(-1), DeltaH(++) = 34 +/- 3 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = -69 +/-11 J K(-1) mol(-1), DeltaV(++) = -20 +/- 2 cm3 mol(-1); k(-1)=0.47 +/- 0.08 s(-1), DeltaH(++)=39 +/- 5 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = -121 +/-18 J K(-1) mol(-1), DeltaV(++) = -18.5 +/- 0.4 cm3 mol(-1) at 25 degrees C). The subsequent electron transfer step to form Ru(II)-NO+ occurs spontaneously for the trans isomer, followed by a slow nitrosyl to nitrite conversion, whereas for the cis isomer the reduction of the Ru(III) center is induced by the coordination of an additional NO molecule (cis isomer, k2=51.3 +/- 0.3 M(-1) s(-1), DeltaH(++) = 46 +/- 2 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS(++) = -69 +/- 5 J K(-1) mol(-1), DeltaV(++) = -22.6 +/- 0.2 cm3 mol(-1) at 45 degrees C). The final reaction step involves a slow aquation process for both isomers, which is interpreted in terms of a dissociative substitution mechanism (cis isomer, DeltaV(++) = +23.5 +/- 1.2 cm3 mol(-1); trans isomer, DeltaV(++) = +20.9 +/- 0.4 cm3 mol(-1) at 55 degrees C) that produces two different reaction products, viz. [Ru(terpy)(NH3)(H2O)NO]3+ (product of the cis isomer) and trans-[Ru(terpy)(NH3)2(H2O)]2+. The pi-acceptor properties of the tridentate N-donor chelate (terpy) predominantly control the overall reaction pattern.

EPR study of Mn2+ doped ammonium tartrate single crystals is carried out at room temperature. The spin Hamiltonian parameters are: gx=1.9225+/-0.0002, gy=1.9554+/-0.0002, gz=2.1258+/-0.0002, A=(78+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1), B=(75+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1), D=(191+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1), E=(61+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1) and a=(22+/-1) x 10(-4) cm(-1) for site I and gx=1.9235+/-0.0002, gy=1.9574+/-0.0002, gz=2.0664+/-0.0002, A=(78+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1), B=(75+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1), D=(180+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1), E=(57+/-2) x 10(-4) cm(-1) and a=(22+/-1) x 10(-4) cm(-1) for site II, respectively. The observed optical bands are fitted with inter-electronic repulsion parameters (B and C), crystal field parameter (Dq) and Trees correction (alpha) and the values found are B=752, C=2438, Dq=765 and alpha=76 cm(-1). The data obtained are further used to discuss the surrounding crystal field and the nature of metal-ligand bonding in the crystal.

Investigations on the question of multiple mechanisms in the cope rearrangement

The possible occurrence of the ionic Cope rearrangement, and other non-concerted mechanisms is discussed. The synthesis of 2 - (1 - ethyl - 1 - propenyl) -2- (3 - p - methoxyphenylallyl)malononitrile (1b) and its clean thermal 1,3 rearrangement to (1 - ethyl - 5 - p - methoxyphenyl - 2 - methyl - 4 - pentenylidene)malononitrile (4) are reported. This result contrasts with the rearrangement of 2 - (1,1 - dideuterioallyl) - 2 -(1 - ethyl - 1 - propenyl)malononitrile (1c) which isomerizes cleanly in a 3,3 rearrangement. Rearrangement of 2 - (1 - cyclohexenyl) - 2 - (3 - p - methoxyphenylallyl)malononitrile (11), however, leads sluggishly to [2 - (p - methoxy - α - vinylbenzyl)cyclohexylidene]malononitrile (19) (3,3 shift) and rearrangement of 2 - (1 - isopropyl - 2 - methyl - 1 - propenyl) - 2 -(3 - p - methoxyphenylallyl)malononitrile (12) leads, also slowly, to (1 - isopropyl - 5-p- methoxyphenyl - 2,2 - dimethyl - 4 - pentenylidene)malononitrile (14) (1,3 shift). Rearrangement of 1b in the presence of sodium borohydride allows interception of the proposed ionic intermediates and isolation of 2 - (1 - ethylpropylidene)malononitrile (5) and anethole (21c). Ion trapping experiments also gave positive results in the 3,3 rearrangement of 11. These results are discussed in terms of the ionic Cope rearrangement.

Energetics of hydroxybenzoic acids and of the corresponding carboxyphenoxyl radicals. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 2-hydroxybenzoic acid

The energetics of the phenolic O-H bond in the three hydroxybenzoic acid isomers and of the intramolecular hydrogen O-H- - -O-C bond in 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2-OHBA, were investigated by using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of monoclinic 3- and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids, at 298.15 K, were determined as Delta(f)(3-OHBA, cr) = -593.9 +/- 2.0 kJ x mol(-1) and Delta(f)(4-OHBA, cr) = -597.2 +/- 1.4 kJ x mol(-1), by combustion calorimetry. Calvet drop-sublimation calorimetric measurements on monoclinic samples of 2-, 3-, and 4-OHBA, led to the following enthalpy of sublimation values at 298.15 K: Delta(sub)(2-OHBA) = 94.4 +/- 0.4 kJ x mol(-1), Delta(sub)(3-OHBA) = 118.3 +/- 1.1 kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(sub)(4-OHBA) = 117.0 +/- 0.5 kJ x mol(-1). From the obtained Delta(f)(cr) and Delta(sub) values and the previously reported enthalpy of formation of monoclinic 2-OHBA (-591.7 +/- 1.3 kJ x mol(-1)), it was possible to derive Delta(f)(2-OHBA, g) = -497.3 +/- 1.4 kJ x mol(-1), Delta(f)(3-OHBA, g) = -475.6 +/- 2.3 kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(f)(4-OHBA, cr) = -480.2 +/- 1.5 kJ x mol(-1). These values, together with the enthalpies of isodesmic and isogyric gas-phase reactions predicted by density functional theory (B3PW91/aug-cc-pVDZ, MPW1PW91/aug-cc-pVDZ, and MPW1PW91/aug-cc-pVTZ) and the CBS-QMPW1 methods, were used to derive the enthalpies of formation of the gaseous 2-, 3-, and 4-carboxyphenoxyl radicals as (2-HOOCC(6)H(4)O(*), g) = -322.5 +/- 3.0 kJ.mol(-1) Delta(f)(3-HOOCC(6)H(4)O(*), g) = -310.0 +/- 3.0 kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(f)(4-HOOCC(6)H(4)O(*), g) = -318.2 +/- 3.0 kJ x mol(-1). The O-H bond dissociation enthalpies in 2-OHBA, 3-OHBA, and 4-OHBA were 392.8 +/- 3.3, 383.6 +/- 3.8, and 380.0 +/- 3.4 kJ x mol(-1), respectively. Finally, by using the ortho-para method, it was found that the H- - -O intramolecular hydrogen bond in the 2-carboxyphenoxyl radical is 25.7 kJ x mol(-1), which is ca. 6-9 kJ x mol(-1) above the one estimated in its parent (2-OHBA), viz. 20.2 kJ x mol(-1) (theoretical) or 17.1 +/- 2.1 kJ x mol(-1) (experimental).

The removal efficiency of chestnut shells for selected pesticides from aqueous solutions

The removal of selected pesticides such as carbofuran (CF) and methyl parathion (MP) using low-cost abundant sorbent chestnut shells from aqueous solutions has been investigated in the present study. The sorption parameters, i.e., contact time, pH, initial pesticide solution concentration and temperature have been studied. Maximum percent sorption (99+/-1%) was achieved for (0.38-3.80) x10(-4) and (0.45-4.5) x10(-4) mol dm(-3) of MP and CF pesticide solutions respectively, using 0.4 g of sorbent in 100 ml of solution for 30 min agitation time at pH 6. The Freundlich, Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models have been applied, and their constants for methyl parathion and carbofuran, sorption intensity 1/n (0.55+/-0.02 and 0.54+/-0.04), multilayer sorption capacity C(m) (28.3+/-0.5 and 16.4+/-0.7) x10(-3) mol l(1-1/n)dm(3/n)g(-1), monolayer sorption capacity Q (22.5+/-0.5 and 10.8+/-0.3) x10(-6) mo lg(-1), binding energy, b (2.9+/-0.2 and 5.2+/-0.5) x10(4) dm(3)mol(-1), and sorption energy E (11.2+/-0.1 and 11.5+/-0.2 kJ mol(-1)) have been evaluated respectively. Lagergren, Morris-Weber and Reichenberg equations were employed to study kinetics of sorption process. Thermodynamic parameters DeltaH (-5.09+/-0.1 and 22.8+/-0.4 kJ mol(-1)), DeltaS (-4.33+/-0.0003 and 0.09+/-0.001 kJ mol(-1)K(-1)) and DeltaG((303K)) (-2.9 and -3.8 kJ mol(-1)) have been calculated for methyl parathion and carbofuran, respectively. The developed sorption procedure has been employed to environmental samples.
