One-Pot Synthesis and Methylation of 3-[2-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl-Sulfanyl)-Acetyl]-Chromen-2-Ones

Abstract

3-(2-Bromoacetyl)coumarins (I), when treated with 2-mercatobenzimidazole (II) in acetone containing K₂CO₃ (mild base) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst, at room temperature yielded the title compound 3-[2-(1H-benzimidazole-2-yl-sufanyl)-acetyl]-chromen-2-one (III) in a one-pot synthesis. Alternatively, III could also be prepared by treating dithiocarbonic acid O-ethyl ester, S-[2-oxo-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen3-yl)-ethyl] ester (V), with o-phenylenediamine (VI). The methylation of the title compound III was performed with dimethyl sulfate (DMS), in acetonitrile containing TBAB and K₂CO₃ at room temperature, resulting in 3-[2-(N-methyl-benzimidazol-2-yl-sulfanyl)]-acetyl-chromen-2-ones (VII). Alternatively, methylation of III could also be performed with DMS in acetonitrile containing K₂CO₃ as base and clay as surface catalyst. All the compounds were synthesized in good yields and their structures were confirmed by spectral and analytical data.

Synthesis,Characterization, Antimicrobial Activities,and Structural Studies of Lanthanide (III) Complexes with 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-thiosemicarbazone

Twelve coordinate lanthanide (III) complexes with the general composition [Ln L₃X_n(H₂O)_n] where Ln = Pr(III), Sm(III), Eu (III), Gd (III), Tb (III), Dy (III), X = Cl^?1, NO₃ ^?2, n = 2–7, and L is 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1- thiosemicarbazone have been prepared. The lanthanide complexes (5) were derived from the reaction between 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-thiosemicarbazone (4) with an aqueous solution of lanthanide salt. Chalcone thiosemicarbazone ligand (4) was prepared by the reaction of [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)]prop-2-enone (chalcone) (3) with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of hot ethanol. All the lanthanide-ligand 1:3 complexes have been isolated in the solid state, are stable in air, and characterized on the basis of their elemental and spectral data.

Thiosemicarbazone ligands behave as bidentate ligands by coordinating through the sulfur of the isocyanide group and nitrogen of the cyanide residue. The probable structure for all the lanthanide complexes is also proposed. The chalcone thiosemicarbazone ligands and their lanthanide complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial studies. Some of the synthesized lanthanide complexes have shown enhanced activity compared with that of the free ligand.

X-ray Structure of a 1:2 Complex of Hexakis (3-O-acetyl-2,6-di-O-methyl)-α-cyclodextrin with Butylacetate

Abstract

Crystal structure of a 1:2 complex of hexakis(3-O-acetyl-2,6-di-O-methyl)-α-cyclodextrin (ADMACD) with butylacetate was determined by the X-ray method. The space group of the crystal is P2₁2₁2₁ with Z = 4 and D _x = 1.293 g cm^?3, and the cell dimensions are a = 11.087(2), b = 23.543(3), and c = 31.739(6) Å. The structure was solved by the direct method and refined to the R-value of 0.123 for all the 4993 observed reflections with 1<0. The ADMACD molecule is in a round shape with the pseudo hexagonal symmetry. Methyl and acetyl groups point towards the outside of the molecule. Because of the acetyl groups attached to O3 and methyl groups attached to O6, the intramolecular cavity is ca. 3 Å deeper than the cavity of native α-CD. One butylacetate molecule is coaxially accommodated with its acetyl group at the O6 side in the host cavity while the other guest molecule is located in an intermolecular space between host molecules which are stacked to form a head-to-tail channel-type packing structure along the a axis.     

Eco-Friendly Synthesis and Insecticidal Activity of Some Fluorinated 2-(N-Arylamino)-4-Arylthiazoles

A series of fluorinated 2-(N-arylamino)-4-arylthiazoles (3) was synthesized by the condensation of appropriate arylthioureas (2) with corresponding α-bromoacetophenones (1) by using “green chemistry” techniques, viz. mechanochemical mixing and microwave or ultrasonic irradiation. Compared with conventional procedures, the reaction can be carried out under milder conditions, requiring a shorter reaction time and giving higher yields following the green chemistry methodology. All the synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses and spectral data (IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectrometry). Representative compounds were also evaluated for their insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera, and some of them showed promising activity.

α- or β-Substituted functional phthalocyanines bearing thiophen-3-ylmethanol substituents: synthesis,characterization, aggregation behavior and antioxidant activity

The tetra α- or β-thiophene substituted metal and metal-free phthalocyanines (Pcs) M[Pc(α-OCH₂Thiopen)₄] and M[Pc(β-OCH₂Thiopen)₄] {(α-ThMet-MPc), (β-ThMet-MPc) [ThMet: Thiophene methoxy], M = Zn(II), Co(II) and, 2H} were synthesized from the corresponding 3’-(thiophen-3-ylmethoxy)phthalonitrile or 4’-(thiophen-3-ylmethoxy)phthalonitrile (ThMePN). The structural characterization, spectral, and antioxidant properties of a series of new Pcs were also presented. Both α- and β-substituted Pc complexes increased solubility in polar solvents, such as THF, DMF, and DMSO. FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, UV–vis, MALDI-TOF/MS spectral, and elemental analysis data were used to characterize the compounds. The aggregation behaviors of 3–8 were also investigated at different concentrations in THF. Antioxidant test methods, α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity, metal chelating activity, and reducing power, were used to determine the antioxidant activities. 6 showed very good ferrous ion chelating activity of 81 ± 1%. 6, 5, 4, and 3 showed better reducing power than trolox, ascorbic, acid and butylated hydroxytoluene, commercially used antioxidants.     

Antimicrobial efficiency of diorganotin(IV) bis-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylate]

Abstract

Four new diorganotin(IV) carboxylates, [n-Bu₂SnL₂] (1), [Et₂SnL₂] (2), [Me₂SnL₂] (3) and [n-Oct₂SnL₂] (4), where L?=?3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylacrylate, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) and X-ray single crystal analysis for 1. A chelating bidentate ligand and six-coordinate tin centers were confirmed in the solid state by IR for all complexes and for 1 by X-ray single crystal analysis. The NMR study has shown a decrease in the coordination number of tin in solution. The complexes were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. A compromised lipo/hydrophilicity and a diffusion controlled antimicrobial activity was shown by the complexes in the order 1?>?2>3?>?4. Molecular docking studies have shown hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions for 1 with the target proteins of the antimicrobial strains.     

A linear trinuclear cobalt(II) complex with 4-(2-pyridine)-1,2,4-triazole: synthesis,structure and characterization

The linear trinuclear cobalt(II) complex [Co₃(pytrz)₆(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₆ (1) with pytrz = 4-(2-pyridine)-1,2,4-triazole has been prepared and characterized. It crystallizes in the rhombohedral R-3 space group with Z = 3, a = 13.955(2), b = 13.955(2), c = 28.942(9) Å, γ = 120°, V = 4881.2(18) ų. The structure of 1 comprises the cation [Co₃(pytrz)₆(H₂O)₆]⁶⁺, in which linear trinuclear Co(II) units are bridged by six L ligands and have six aqua molecules as terminal ligands. The six free nitrates link the terminal aqua ligands through N–H ··· O hydrogen bonds with C₃ symmetry. 1 was characterized by FT-IR, electronic spectra and magnetic measurements. The variable-temperature magnetic measurements reveal weak anti-ferromagnetic interactions in 1.     

Synthesis,structure, spectroscopic,and DNA binding properties of Co(III) and Ni(II) complexes with ((E)-2-(amino((pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)methylene)maleonitrile)

Two new complexes, [Co(L)₂]Cl·(MeOH)₂ (1) and [Ni(L)₂]₄·EtOH (2) (L?=?(E)-2-(amino((pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)methylene)maleonitrile), were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR, UV, and fluorescence spectroscopy. According to X-ray crystallographic studies, each metal was six-coordinate with six nitrogens from two ligands. Both complexes form two-dimensional supramolecular networks via hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions. Ultraviolet and visible spectra showed that absorptions arise from π–π ^?, MLCT, and d–d electron transitions. Fluorescence spectroscopy revealed moderate intercalative binding of these two complexes with EB–DNA, with apparent binding constant (K _app) values of 9.14?×?10⁵ and 3.20?×?10^5?M^?1 for Co(III) and Ni(II) complexes, respectively. UV–visible absorption spectra showed that the absorption of DNA at 260?nm was quenched for 2 but quenched then improved for 1 with addition of complexes, tentatively attributed to the effect of the combined intercalative binding and electrostatic interaction for 1.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Antifungal Activity of Metal Complexes of 2-(5-((2-Chlorophenyl)Diazenyl)-2-Hydroxybenzylidene) Hydrazinecarbothioamide

Abstract

New metal complexes of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ru(III), UO₂(II), and VO(II) with the Schiff base, 2-(5-((2-chlorophenyl)diazenyl)-2-hydroxy- benzylidene) hydrazine-carbothioamide (H₂L) have been prepared and characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, FT-IR, UV–Vis, mass spectra, ¹H-NMR, and ESR as well as conductivity and magnetic moments measurements. The IR spectra showed that the ligand acts as neutral tridentate, neutral bidentate or monobasic tridentate ligand. The geometries of metal complexes were either octahedral or square pyramidal. The ESR spectra of the solid copper(II) complexes indicated an axial symmetry type of a d_(x2-y2) ground state with considerably ionic or covalent environment. The effect of the presence of an azo group on the biological activity of the ligand was investigated. The ligand and its complexes are biologically inactive due to the presence of azo group.

Synthesis,crystal structure,and BSA interaction with a new Co(II) complex based on 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Abstract

A new complex, Co(Htpc)₂(H₂O)₂ (1) (Htpc = 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, elemental analysis, infrared spectral analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. Meanwhile, the optimized geometric structure of the ligand was determined using the M06-2X functional of density functional theory (DFT) with the 6-311?+?G(d, p) basis set. The gap energies ΔE between the frontier molecular orbitals were computed in different solvent media (water, methanol and ethanol) using the time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT)/M06-2X by applying the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM). The coordination sphere around Co(II) is distorted octahedral with two chelating tpc^- ligands and two coordinated water molecules. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding properties of the ligand, CoCl₂·6H₂O and 1 were investigated by fluorescence and UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, revealing 1 exhibits higher binding affinity with BSA than free ligand and CoCl₂·6H₂O. ΔG, ΔH and ΔS at 298 and 308?K manifested that van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds were the main forces in the binding process.     

Copper(II) Halide Complexes of 2-Aminopyrimidines: Crystal Structures of [(2-aminopyrimidine) n CuCl2] (n=1,2) and (2-amino-5-bromopyrimidine)2CuBr2

The reaction of CuX₂(X=Cl, Br) with 2-aminopyrimidine in aqueous solution, or 2-amino-5-bromopyrimidine in aqueous acid yields compounds of the forms [LCuCl₂] _n (1), [L₂CuCl₂] (2) and [L'₂CuBr₂] (3) [L=2-aminopyrimidine; L'=2-amino-5-bromo-pyrimidine]. The three compounds all form layered structures in which each copper ion is coordinated to two 2-aminopyrimidine molecules and two halide ions. Common structural threads involve bridging ligation [either by monomeric (1) or hydrogen bonded ligand dimers (2 and 3)], N-H···X and N-H···N hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions as well as semi-coordinate Cu···X bond formation (1 and 2) or Br···Br interactions (3). Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize as two-dimensional coordination polymers with asymmetrically bihalide bridged (CuX₂) _n chains cross-linked into sheets by the 2-aminopyrimidine molecules (1) or by hydrogen bonded L₂ dimers (2). The halide bibridged chains expand their primary copper coordination spheres to give 4 + 2 coordination spheres in 1 and 2. In 3, the layer structure involves coordination of the hydrogen bonded L'₂ dimers and C-Br···Br- interactions.

Bifunctionalized allenes. Part XXI. Electrophilic cyclization and addition reactions of 3-(α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)-allenylphosphonates and allenyl phosphine oxides

Abstract

The present paper discusses the electrophilic cyclization and addition reactions of 3-(α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)-allenylphosphonates and phosphine oxides. Treatment of 3-(α- or β-hydroxy-alkyl)-allenylphosphonates with electrophiles takes place with 5-endo-trig cyclization and gives 2-methoxy-2,5-dihydro-1,2-oxaphosphole 2-oxides as a result of the neighboring phosphonate group participation in the electrophilic cyclization. On the other hand, 3-(α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)-alk-(1E)-en-1-yl phosphine oxides were prepared by chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective electrophilic addition to the C²-C³-double bond in the 3-(α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)-alka-1,2-dienyl phosphine oxides and subsequent attack of the external nucleophile (halide anion). The paper proposes a possible mechanism that involves electrophilic cyclization and addition reactions of the phosphorylated (α- or β-hydroxyalkyl)allenes.
