A Pd(II) complex of a β-cyclodextrin-based polydentate ligand: an efficient catalyst for the Suzuki reaction in aqueous media

Molecular assembly has become a promising strategy for designing new polydentate ligands. But very often such ligands and their complexes are sparingly soluble in aqueous phase due to their intrinsic hydrophobic character. Pd(II) complexes are good homogeneous catalysts but their poor solubility in aqueous phase may limit their catalytic efficacy in the universal green solvent water. However, solubility related challenges especially in aqueous phase can be mitigated through the formation of inclusion complexes by exploiting the hydrophobic nature of the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) cavity. Hence, an ionic liquid ChCD (1) was synthesized from β-CD and Choline bromide (ChBr). Next a supramolecular N, N^′, O-tridentate ligand 1?2 (3) was synthesized by the inclusion of 2,6-diaminopyridine (2) in the hydrophobic β-CD cavity of the ionic liquid ChCD (1) and was well characterized by elemental analysis, UV-visible, FTIR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, etc. The stoichiometry of the inclusion complex 1?2 (3) was found to be 1:1 based on UV-visible spectrophotometric study. A new air stable, highly water soluble Pd²⁺-complex [κ³-N, N^′, O-Pd(1?2)H₂O]OAc (4) was then synthesized from the supramolecular ligand (3) with 1:1 stoichiometry and used as a catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions in water at ambient temperature with good to excellent yields. The catalyst can be removed and recycled. Additionally, the use of non-toxic solvent water makes the methodology green, sustainable, and economically viable.     

Asymmetric N-heterocyclic carbene benzimidazolium salts and their silver(I) complexes: potential as ionic liquid crystals

The synthesis and characterisation of a homologous series of monodentate benzimidazolium salts, 1–4 and their mononuclear silver(I)–NHC (where NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes, 5–8, are reported. The benzimidazolium salts were prepared from the N-alkylation of 1-methyl-benzimidazole with alkyl halides of varying carbon chain lengths. The mono silver(I)-NHC complexes, 5–8, were prepared by the reaction of the benzimidazolium salts with Ag₂O. All the synthesised compounds were fully characterised by ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), ¹³C-NMR and fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The molecular structures of compounds 3·PF₆, 4·PF₆, 7 and 8 were elucidated through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. We postulate that the attachment of long alkyl chains to the heterocyclic core of 1-methyl benzimidazole could induce mesophase formation. The liquid crystalline behaviour of the benzimidazolium salts was investigated by polarised optical microscope and differential scanning calorimetry. Salts 3 and 4 were found to be thermotropic liquid crystals which exhibited a smectic A phase. However, upon complexation with silver(I) ions, all the Ag(I)–NHC complexes are found to be non-mesogenic.     

Synthesis of Four Spacer-Containing Trisaccharides with the 4-0-(β-L-Rhamnopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose Unit in Common,Representing Fragments of Capsular Polysaccharides from Streptococcus Pneumoniae Types 2, 7F, 22F,and 23F

Synthetic α,β(1→4)-Glucan Oligosaccharides as Models for Heparan Sulfate

Abstract

α,β-(1→4)-Glucans were devised as models for heparan sulfate with the simplifying assumptions that carboxyl-reduction and sulfation of heparan sulfate does not decrease the SMC antiproliferative activity and that N-sulfates in glucosamines can be replaced by O-sulfates. The target oligo-saccharides were synthesized using maltosyl building blocks. Glycosylation of methyl 2,3,6,2′,3′,6′-hexa-O-benzyl-β-maltoside (1) with hepta-O-acetyl-α-maltosyl bromide (2) furnished tetrasaccharide 3 which was deprotected to α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→4)-α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→OCH₃) (5) or, alternatively, converted to the tetrasaccharide glycosyl acceptor (8) with one free hydroxyl function (4?′-OH). Further glycosylation with glucosyl or maltosyl bromide followed by deblocking gave the pentasaccharide [β-D-Glc-(1→4)-α-D-Glc-(1→4)]₂-β-D-Glc-(1→OCH₃) (11) and hexasaccharide [α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→4)₂-α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→OCH₃) (14). The protected tetrasaccharide 3 and hexasaccharide 12 were fully characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Assignments were possible using 1D TOCSY, T-ROESY, ¹H,¹H 2D COSY supplemented by ¹H-detected one-bond and multiple-bond ¹H,¹³C 2D COSY experiments.     

Studies on 1-Deoxynojirimycin-Containing Glycans: Synthesis of Novel Disaccharides Related to Lactose,Lactosamine, and Chitobiose

Abstract

Suitably protected 1-deoxynojirimycin (l, 5-dideoxy-l, 5-imino-D-glucitol; DNJ) and its 2-acetamido derivative, i.e., 2, 3, 6-tri-O-benzyl-.N-benzyloxycarbonyl-l, 5-dideoxy-1, 5-imino-D-glucitol (6) and 2-acetamido-3, 6-di-O-benzyl-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-1, 2, 5-trideoxy-l, 5-imino-D-glucitol (14) were each coupled with methyl 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside (15) in the presence of dimethyl(methylthio)-sulfonium triflate (DMTST) as a promoter, to give 16 and 18, which were converted to the novel disaccharides (20, 21) related to lactose and lactosamine. Coupling of 14with methyl 3, 4, 6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-l-thio-β-D-glucopyranoside (22) gave achitobiose analog (25). O-(β-D-Galactopyranosyl)-(l→3)-DNJ derivatives (38, 39) and O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(l→3)-DNJ (45) were also synthesized. Conformational analysis of a variety of DNJ derivatives, based on the ¹H NMR data, is also discussed.     

Multicomponent one pot synthesis of C-glucosides of 1-azaindolizines

Abstract

A protocol based on Groebke-Blackburn-Bienayame (GBB) multicomponent reaction has been developed for efficient and atom economical synthesis of C-glucosides of 1-azaindolizine, i.e. 2-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-N-alkylamino-1-azaindolizine. Thus, a series of fourteen novel 2-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-N-alkylamino-1-azaindolizines have been synthesized in moderate to good yields by reaction of a perbenzylated β-C-glucopyranosyl aldehyde with differently substituted 2-aminopyridines and alkyl isocyanides using InCl₃ as acid catalyst. All synthesized β-C-glucosides were unambiguously characterized with the help of spectroscopic (IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and mass spectra) data analysis.     

Inclusion complexation of a novel diaminodiphenyl disulphide bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) with bile salts

A novel 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl disulphide bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) (β-CD) 2 was synthesised, and its inclusion complexation behaviour with bile salts, i.e. cholate (CA), deoxycholate (DCA), glycocholate (GCA) and taurocholate (TCA) have been determined in phosphate buffer (pH 7.20) at 25°C by the fluorescence and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of resulting inclusion complexes between bis(β-CD) 2 and bile salts was demonstrated, showing 1?:?1 binding model upon all inclusion complexation. The structures of the inclusion complexes between bile salts and bis(β-CD) 2 were elucidated by 2D NMR experiments, indicating that the D-ring and side-chain of bile salts, penetrate into one CD cavity of 2 from the wide opening deeply, while the phenyl moiety of the CD linker is partially self-included in the other CD cavity to form host-linker-guest binding mode. As compared with the native β-CD 1 upon complexation with bile salts, the bis(β-CD) 2 enhances the binding ability and molecular selectivity.

New mesoionic systems of azolopyridine series 2. Synthesis,structures, and biological activity of 2-aminothiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridinium salts and thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridinium 2-imidates

A new procedure was developed for the synthesis of 2-aminothiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium salts 8 by the reaction of 2-halo-N-phenacylpyridinium salts with KSCN. The anion compositions of salts 8 were studied by ion chromatography. Acylation of salts 8 afforded representatives of the previously unknown bicyclic mesoionic thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium 2-imidate system 9. The three-dimensional structures of 2-amino-3-(p-bromobenzoyl)thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium thiocyanate and N-trifluoroacetyl-3-(p-nitrobenzoyl)thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium 2-imidate were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Conformationally Biased Mimics of Mannopyranosylamines: Inhibitors of β‐Mannosidases?

The enol ether 7 was prepared by cleavage of the N−O bond of the known isoxazolidine 3 , followed by N‐alkylation to 4 , silylation and oxidation to the N‐oxide 6 , and Cope elimination. Cu‐Catalysed cyclopropanation of 7 led to the diastereoisomeric cyclopropanes 8 and 9 , which were subjected to a Curtius degradation. The resulting carbamates 12 and 16 were deprotected to the ammonium salts 14 and 18 , respectively. Both salts adopt a B_1,4 conformation, similarly as the ester 8 , while the isomeric ester 9 exists in a ca. 6 : 4 equilibrium of the ⁴C₁ and B_1,4 conformers. The β‐mannoside mimic 14 does not inhibit snail β‐mannosidase at 10 mM , but the α‐mannoside mimic 18 inhibits Jack bean α‐mannosidase (IC₅₀=80 μM ). These results are in keeping with the postulate that glycoside cleavage of β‐D ‐glycopyranosides requires a conformational change in agreement with the principle of stereoelectronic control.

PHOSPHONOMETHYLATION OF AMINOALKANOLS PREPARATION OF 4-(PHOSPHONOMETHYL)-2-HYDROXY-2-OXO-1,4,2-OXAZAPHOSPHORINANES1

Abstract

Treatment of aminoalkanols 1 with phosphorous acid and formaldehyde in presence of conc. hydrochloric acid gave mixtures of [(2-hydroxy alkyl)imino] dimethylene diphosphonic acids 3 and 4-(phosphonomethyl)-2-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinanes 2 from which 2 were isolated as crystalline solids. Similar treatment of 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol 8 gave a complex mixture from which dimethylene diphosphonic acid of 5-amino-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane 9 was isolated. 2-Aminoethanethiol, when subjected to phosphonomethylation. gave an unexpected novel quarternary nitrogen product 11. N-Alkylaminoalkanols 4 on phosphonomethylation gave 3:1 mixtures of [N-alkyl-N-(2-hydroxyalkyl)amino] methane phosphonic acid 6 and N-alkyl-2-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinane 5. Treatment of the crude mixtures of 5 and 6 with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave disodium salts of [N-alkyl-N-(2-hydroxyalkyl)amino] methanephosphonic acid 7. The ratio of the cyclic to the open chain structures obtained as well as the formation of any unexpected novel products is dependent on the structure of the aminoalkanol that is phosphonomethylated. The ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P spectra are reported for all new compounds.

Correlation between Thermodynamic Behavior and Structure in the Complexation of Modified β-Cyclodextrins and Bile Salts

Complex stability constants (K _S), standard molar enthalpy changes (ΔH ⁰) and entropy changes (ΔS ⁰) for the inclusion complexation of two cyclodextrin dimers, 6,6′-{2,2′-diselenobis[2-(benzoylamino)ethylamino]}-bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin) (1) and o-phenylenediseleno bridged bis(β-cyclodextrin)s (3), and their monomer analogs, 6-deoxy-6-{[2-(2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1,2-benzisoselenazol-2-yl)ethyl]amino}-β-cyclodextrin (2) and mono[6-(phenylseleno)-6-deoxy]-β-cyclodextrin (4), with two bile salt guests, sodium cholate (CA) and sodium deoxycholate (DCA), were determined at 25°C in Tris buffer solutions (pH 7.4) at 298.15?K by means of isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC). The interactions and binding modes between the host cyclodextrins and the guest bile salts were further studied by ROESY spectroscopy. The thermodynamic parameters obtained, together with the ROESY spectra, were used to examine the correlations between thermodynamic behavior and binding modes of the host–guest complexation. The results indicate that the length, structure and conformation of the tethers linked to the cyclodextrins determine the binding modes and the binding abilities between hosts and guests to a great extent, leading to a reversion in binding ability when comparing the corresponding dimer and its monomer analog.     

Multi-responsive cyclodextrin vesicles assembled by ‘supramolecular bola-amphiphiles’

Multi-responsive cyclodextrin vesicles (CDVs) self-assembled by ‘supramolecular bola-amphiphiles’, consisting of a guest (N,N′-bis(ferrocenylmethylene)-diaminohexane, 1) and a host (γ-hydroxybutyric-β-cyclodextrin, γ-HB-β-CD), were prepared and investigated for the first time. The morphologies and sizes of these novel vesicles in water were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The effects of the host–guest ratio, the concentration and the solvent composition are also discussed. The host–guest interactions, complex stoichiometry and structures of 1·γ-HB-β-CD in water were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, UV and NMR spectroscopy. According to the complex stoichiometry, TEM observations and Chem3D estimation, the ‘supramolecular bola-amphiphiles’, made from 1·γ-HB-β-CD and assumed for the first time, formed the membranes of the CDVs. The CDV system was responsive to an oxidising agent, which is the first report on redox-responsive systems in this field. The CDVs are also responsive to pH and the presence of metal ions, such that they disassemble upon addition of acetic acid or Cu²⁺ ions, providing possible routes to drug delivery systems.
