[(η5‐C5R5)TiCl2(η5‐C5H4SiMe2)]2O·nCH2Cl2

The first title metallocene, 1,3‐bis(dichlorotitanocene)‐1,1,3,3‐tetramethyldisiloxane dichloromethane solvate, [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)­TiCl₂­(η⁵‐C₅H₄­Si­Me₂)]₂O·­CH₂Cl₂, (I), crystallizes in space group P2₁/c. Compound (I) represents the first crystal structure of a bimetallic siloxy‐bridged titanocene. The geometric parameters of (I) are similar to those of the parent titanocene; however, the disiloxane substituents adopt an unexpected eclipsed conformation. The second title metallocene, 1,3‐bis­[(penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl)­(cyclo­penta­dien­yl)­titanium dichloride]‐1,1,3,3‐tetra­methyl­disiloxane, [(η⁵‐C₅‐Me₅)­TiCl₂­(η⁵‐C₅H₄­Si­Me₂)]₂O, (II), represents the second crystal structure of a bimetallic siloxy‐bridged titanocene and crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n. Compound (I) possesses non‐crystallographic twofold molecular symmetry and both metal centers adopt pseudo‐tetrahedral geometries. The geometric parameters of (II) are similar to those of the mixed titanocene Cp*CpTiCl₂ (Cp* = C₅Me₅) and the disiloxane substituents adopt a staggered conformation.     

Syntheses and Anti—inflammatory Actiobn of （η—C5H5）2Ti （Cin）2 and （η—C5H5）2Ti（Tzea）2

Two new Complexes(Cp)2Ti(Cin)2and (CP2)Ti(Tzea)2(CP=Cyclopentadienyl η^5-C5H5)have been synthesized in THF by the reaction of HCin(Cincofen,2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid)or HTzea(5-phenyltetrazolyl-2-ethanoic acid)with(Cp)2TiCl2,and characterized by elemental analyses,IR,1H NMR and 13C NMR,UV spectra,molar conductivity,TGDTA.In the complexes the carboxyl groups are coordinated to Ti(IV)in a monodentate manner,The inhibitory actions of the complexes on mice ear tumefaction caused by croton oil and the rat foot granulation growth produced by cotton wool are higher than those of the corresponding ligands HCin,HTzea and [(Cp)2TiCl2],while their toxicities are lower than those of the free ligands.ηη     

Chlorido(η5‐cyclopentadienyl)bis(dimethylamido)titanium, [TiCl(η5‐C5H5)(NMe2)2]

The title complex, [Ti(C₅H₅)(C₂H₆N)₂Cl], exhibits two nearly planar dimethylamide groups oriented approximately perpendicular to each other. The Ti→cyclopentadienyl centroid vector lies nearly in the plane of one of the dimethylamide groups. Long‐range contacts between Ti—Cl and cyclopentadienyl H—C groups give rise to geometric ordering in the extended solid.     

5‐Formylsalicylic acid and 5‐(benzimidazolium‐2‐yl)salicylate

Both title compounds are derivatives of salicylic acid. 5‐Formylsalicylic acid (systematic name: 5‐formyl‐2‐hydroxybenzoic acid), C₈H₆O₄, possesses three good hydrogen‐bond donors and/or acceptors coplanar with their attached benzene ring and abides very well by Etter's hydrogen‐bond rules. Intermolecular O—H...O and some weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a planar sheet. Reaction of this acid and o‐phenylenediamine in refluxing ethanol produced in high yield the new zwitterionic compound 5‐(benzimidazolium‐2‐yl)salicylate [systematic name: 5‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium‐2‐yl)‐2‐hydroxybenzoate], C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₃. Each imidazolium N—H group and its adjacent salicyl C—H group chelate one carboxylate O atom via hydrogen bonds, forming seven‐membered rings. As a result of steric hindrance, the planes of the molecules within these pairs of hydrogen‐bonded molecules are inclined to one another by ∼74°. There are also π–π stacking interactions between the parallel planes of the imidazole ring and the benzene ring of the salicyl component of the adjacent molecule on one side and the benzimidazolium component of the molecule on the other side.     

2‐Amino‐5‐methyl­pyridinium (2‐amino‐5‐methyl­pyridine)trichloro­zincate(II)

The title compound, (C₆H₉N₂)[ZnCl₃(C₆H₈N₂)], consists of one 2‐amino‐5‐methyl­pyridinium cation and one (2‐amino‐5‐methyl­pyridine)trichloro­zincate(II) anion, which are held together by N—H·Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions. The cation and the pyridine ligand show similar geometric features, except for the N—C bond lengths. Mol­ecules of the title compound are connected by N—H·Cl hydrogen bonds to form chiral chains; these chains are associated further by C—H·Cl hydrogen bonds to form layers, which are in turn linked by π–π inter­actions.     

(−)‐(1R,2S,2′R,5R)‐2‐(1‐Hydroxyprop‐2‐yl)‐5‐methylcyclohexanol

Stereoselective hydroboration of (?)‐isopulegol and subsequent fractional crystallization furnishes the title compound, C₁₀H₂₀O₂. The relative configuration of the stereogenic centres has been assigned by means of X‐ray diffraction analysis since the monoterpenediol is employed as a versatile chiral building block in stereospecific natural product synthesis.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Pentafluorethylkupfer(I)‐ und ‐(III)‐Verbindungen: Cu(C2F5) · D, [Cu(C2F5)2]– und (C2F5)2CuSC(S)N(C2H5)2

Syntheses and Properties of Pentafluoroethylcopper(I) and ‐copper(III) Compounds: CuC₂F₅ · D, [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–, and (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ The reactions of Cd(C₂F₅)₂ · D and Zn(C₂F₅)₂ · D (D = 2 CH₃CN, 2 DMF), respectively, with copper(I) halides in the presence of halides quantitatively yield the CuC₂F₅ compounds CuC₂F₅ · D and [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^–. The CuC₂F₅ complexes are identified by NMR spectroscopy, while [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– is isolated as PNP salt (PNP = (C₆H₅)₃PNP(C₆H₅)₃⁺). Both compounds are excellent C₂F₅ group transfer reagents, even at low temperature. Oxidation of [Cu(C₂F₅)₂]^– with [(C₂H₅)₂NC(S)S]₂ yields the crystalline Cu(III) compound (C₂F₅)₂CuSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ (monoclinic, C2/c).     

Synthesis of 2′-Deoxyisoguanosine 5′-Triphosphate and 2′-Deoxy-5-methylisocytidine 5′-Triphosphate

The syntheses of the 5′-triphosphates of 2′-deoxyisoguanosine (=p₃isoG_d) and 2′-deoxy-5-methylisocytidine (=p₃me⁵isoC_d), two new bases for the genetic alphabet, are described. The triphosphates were synthesized from the corresponding nucleosides using a transient-protection procedure. The introduction of a methyl group at the 5-position of 2′-deoxyisocytidine remarkably improved the stability of the triphosphate. Characterization of the triphosphates included enzymatic incorporation opposite the complementary base in a template oligonucleotide.     

Hypervalent Pentafluoroethylgermanium Compounds, [(C2F5)nGeX5−n]− and [(C2F5)3GeF3]2− (X=F,Cl; n=2–5)

This paper gives an account on hypervalent fluoro‐ and chloro(pentafluoroethyl)germanium compounds. The selective synthesis of the tris(pentafluoroethyl)dichlorogermanate salt [PNP][(C₂F₅)₃GeCl₂] as well as its X‐ray structural analysis is described. As a representative example for pentafluoroethylfluorogermanates, the synthesis and structure of 2,4,6‐triphenylpyryliumtris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorogermanate [C₂₃H₁₇O][(C₂F₅)₃GeF₂] is reported. Fluoride‐ion affinities for pentafluoroethylgermanes were calculated using quantum chemical methods, disclosing (C₂F₅)₃GeF as a weaker Lewis acid than (C₂F₅)₃SiF or (C₂F₅)₃PF₂. The theoretical results were confirmed by experiments and give the basis of a synthetic protocol for (C₂F₅)₃GeF. Pentakis(pentafluoroethyl)germanate [PPh₄][Ge(C₂F₅)₅] was detected as an intermediate during the synthesis of [PPh₄][(C₂F₅)₄GeF] starting from tris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorogermanate and LiC₂F₅.     

(5Z)‐4‐Amino‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐imidazol‐5(2H)‐one oxime 3‐oxide

The title molecule, C₉H₁₀N₄O₃, consists of benzene and imidazole rings which are almost perpendicular to each other. A hydroxyimino group is directly linked to the imidazole ring with a double C=N bond, which is the first example in this type of compound. The double bond may be a good location for the initiation of various reactions with a wide range of potential applications. In the crystal structure, there are π–π interactions between molecules related by a centre of symmetry, with the imidazole and benzene rings almost completely overlapped. The molecules are hydrogen bonded in each direction and form a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network.     

Bis(5‐hydroxy‐2‐hydroxy­methyl‐4‐pyrone‐κ2O4,O5)bis(2‐hydroxy­methyl‐5‐oxido‐4‐pyrone‐κ2O4,O5)­calcium(II) tetrahydrate

In the title compound, [Ca(C₆H₅O₄)₂(C₆H₆O₄)₂]·4H₂O, which is a kojic acid–Ca²⁺ complex, the Ca atom is on a twofold axis and is octacoordinated by O atoms from four pyrone ligand mol­ecules. The hydroxyl and ketone O atoms of each ligand form a five‐membered chelate ring with the Ca atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by partial stacking and O—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

The new polynuclear titanium(IV) complex [(Cp*TiCl)(μ‐O)2(Cp*Ti)2(μ‐O)(μ‐O)2]2Ti (Cp* is η5‐C5Me5)

A new polynuclear titanium(IV) complex, dichloro­deca‐μ₂‐oxo‐hexa­kis­(penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl)hexa­titanium(IV), [Ti₆(C₁₀H₁₅)₆Cl₂O₁₀], has been synthesized by hydro­lysis of a titanium complex bearing an N‐(2‐hydr­oxy‐3,5‐dimethyl­benz­yl)diethano­lamine Mannich ligand. The mol­ecule has two O‐bridged Ti₃O₃ rings linked to two similar rings through a tetra­hedrally O‐coordinated Ti atom. All Ti atoms except the central one are coordinated to penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl (Cp*) ligands. The Cp* ligands are arranged with approximate symmetry with respect to the Ti/O/Cl core.     

Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Molekülstrukturen von Heterobimetallorganika des vierwertigen Germaniums mit dem 2‐(Dimethylaminomethyl)ferrocenyl‐Liganden FcN (η5‐C5H5)Fe[η5‐C5H3(CH2NMe2)‐2]

Hydrolysereak‐Syntheses, Properties and Molecular Structures of the Heterobimetalorganics of the four‐valued Germanium with the 2‐(Dimethylaminomethyl)ferrocenyl Ligand FcN (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe[η⁵‐C₅H₃(CH₂NMe₂)‐2] The heterobimetallic lithiumorganyl [2‐(dimethylaminomethyl)ferrocenyl] lithium, FcNLi, reacts with germanium(IV) chloride, GeCl₄, under the formation of heterobimetallic germanium(IV) organyls (FcN)_nGeCl_4‐n (n = 2 ( 1 ), 3 ( 2 )). The heterobimetallic organogermanol (FcN)₃GeOH ( 3 ) is formed at hydrolysis of 2 . A detailed characterization of the defined compounds 1 — 3 was carried out by single crystal X‐ray analyses, NMR‐ and mass‐spectrometry.     

2‐Amino‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)‐thiadiazole as Bidentate Ligand

The amino substituted bidentate chelating ligand 2‐amino‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (H₂ L ) was used to prepare 3:1‐type coordination compounds of iron(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II). In the iron(II) perchlorate complex [Fe^II(H₂ L )₃](ClO₄)₂·0.6MeOH·0.9H₂O a 1:1 mixture of mer and fac isomers is present whereas [Fe^II(H₂ L )₃](BF₄)₂·MeOH·H₂O, [Co^II(H₂ L )₃](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O and [Ni^II(H₂ L )₃](ClO₄)₂·MeOH·H₂O feature merely mer derivatives. Moessbauer spectroscopy and variable temperature magnetic measurements revealed the [Fe^II(H₂ L )₃]²⁺ complex core to exist in the low‐spin state, whereas the [Co^II(H₂ L )₃]²⁺ complex core resides in its high‐spin state, even at very low temperatures.     

Synthesis of (5′S)‐5′‐C‐Alkyl‐2′‐deoxynucleosides

We describe the synthesis of (5′S)‐5′‐C‐butylthymidine ( 5a ), of the (5′S)‐5′‐C‐butyl‐ and the (5′S)‐5′‐C‐isopentyl derivatives 16a and 16b of 2′‐deoxy‐5‐methylcytidine, as well as of the corresponding cyanoethyl phosphoramidites 9a , b and 14a , b , respectively. Starting from thymidin‐5′‐al 1 , the alkyl chain at C(5′) is introduced via Wittig chemistry to selectively yield the (Z)‐olefin derivatives 3a and 3b (Scheme 2). The secondary OH function at C(5′) is then introduced by epoxidation followed by regioselective reduction of the epoxy derivatives 4a and 4b with diisobutylaluminium hydride. In the latter step, a kinetic resolution of the diastereoisomer mixture 4a and 4b occurs, yielding the alkylated nucleoside 2a and 2b , respectively, with (5′S)‐configuration in high diastereoisomer purity (de=94%). The corresponding 2′‐deoxy‐5‐methylcytidine derivatives are obtained from the protected 5′‐alkylated thymidine derivatives 7a and 7b via known base interconversion processes in excellent yields (Scheme 3). Application of the same strategy to the purine nucleoside 2′‐deoxyadenine to obtain 5′‐C‐butyl‐2′‐deoxyadenosine 25 proved to be difficult due to the sensitivity of the purine base to hydride‐based reducing agents (Scheme 4).
