Surprising acid/base and ion-sequestration chemistry of Sn9(4-): HSn9(3-), Ni@HSn9(3-), and the Sn9(3-) ion revisited

K(4)Sn(9) dissolves in ethylenediamine (en) to give equilibrium mixtures of the diamagnetic HSn(9)(3-) ion along with K(x)Sn(9)((4-x)-) ion pairs, where x = 0, 1, 2, 3. The HSn(9)(3-) cluster is formed from the deprotonation of the en solvent and is the conjugate acid of Sn(9)(4-). DFT studies show that the structure is quite similar to the known isoelectronic RSn(9)(3-) ions (e.g., R = i-Pr). The hydrogen atom of HSn(9)(3-) (δ = 6.18 ppm) rapidly migrates among all nine Sn atoms in an intramolecular fashion; the Sn(9) core is also highly dynamic on the NMR time scale. The HSn(9)(3-) cluster reacts with Ni(cod)(2) to give the Ni@HSn(9)(3-) ion containing a hydridic hydrogen (δ = -28.3 ppm) that also scrambles across the Sn(9) cluster. The Sn(9)(4-) ion competes effectively with 2,2,2-crypt for binding K(+) in en solutions, and the pK(a) of HSn(9)(3-) is similar to that of en (i.e., Sn(9)(4-) is a very strong Br?nsted base with a pK(b) comparable to that of the NH(2)CH(2)CH(2)NH(-) anion). Competition studies show that the HSn(9)(3-) ? Sn(9)(4-) + H(+) equilibrium is fully reversible. The HSn(9)(3-) anion is present in significant concentrations in en solutions containing 2,2,2-crypt, yet it has gone undetected for over 30 years.

Synthesis of α-(aminomethylene)-9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetic acid derivatives

α-(Aminomethylene)-9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetamide and the ethyl acetate, 3 and 8 , have been synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation of 6-cyanomethylene-9-methoxymethylpurine derivatives 2 and 7 which were obtained by the substitution of 6-chloro-9-(methoxymethyl)purine ( 1 ) with α-cyanoacetamide and ethyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Substitution of 3 and 8 with amines gave the corresponding N-substituted α-(aminomethylene)-9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetamide and the ethyl acetate 4 and 10 . Reaction of 3 with piperidine gave 9-(methoxymethyl)-9H-purine-6-acetamide ( 5 ).     

Enantiocontrolled synthesis of (-)-9-epi-pentazocine and (-)-aphanorphine

We have developed novel asymmetric routes to (-)-9- epi-pentazocine and (-)-aphanorphine from a d-tyrosine derivative. The tricyclic frameworks of (-)-9- epi-pentazocine and (-)-aphanorphine were assembled stereoselectively via intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of the corresponding bicyclic precursors, generated with titanium-promoted enyne cyclization and indium-initiated atom-transfer radical cyclization, respectively.     

Synthesis of 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-6-methylamino-9H-purine

Synthesis of 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-6-methylamino-9H-purine ( 1 ) from nine different precursors is reported. Compound 1 was prepared by methylamination of 6-chloro-9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-9H-purine ( 4 ), by alkylation of 6-methylaminepurine ( 5 ) or form 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1-methyladeninium iodide ( 8 ) via the Dimroth rearrangement. Selective 2-step methylation of 6-aminopurine 6 was accomplished by hydride reduction of 6-formamidopurine 9 , 6-dimethylaminomethyleneaminopurine 10 or 6-phenylthiomethyl purine 11 to give 1. Compound 1 was also prepared by dethiation or reductive dechlorination of 2-methylthiopurine 16 or 8-chloropurine 19 , respectively, or by hydrolysis of 6-N-methylformamidopurine 12 , which was prepared from 6-dimethylaminopurine 13 by selective oxidation.     

Synthesis of σ-(o-carboran-9-yl)- and σ-(m-carboran-9-yl)-π-cyclopentadienyldicarbonyliron and their rearrangement in reactions with bromine to π-(o-carboran-9-yl)cyclopentadienyl- and π-(m-carboran-9-yl)cyclopentadienyl-dicarbonylironbromides,respectively

9-o- and 9-m-carboranylcarboxylic acids were used to synthesize σ-(o-carboran-9-yl)- and σ-(m-carboran-9-yl)-π-cyclopentadienyldicarbonyliron. The latter complexes, in reactions with bromine, undergo rearrangement with the cleavage of the BFe σ-bond, involving migration of the 9-o- and 9-m-carboranyl groups into the cyclopentadienyl ring, to give π-(o-carboran-9-yl)cyclopentadienyl- and π-(m-carboran-9-yl)cyclopentadienyl-dicarbonyliron bromides, respectively. A simple method to obtain these acids by the oxidation of 9-alkyl-o- and 9-alkyl-m-carboranes with CrO₃ in CH₃COOH has been found.     

First chemoenzymatic synthesis of (R)- and (S)-1-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)ethanol

A simple chemoenzymatic synthesis of 1-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)ethanol stereoisomers is described. The enantiomers were resolved by a kinetically controlled transesterification with vinyl acetate in the presence of commercially available lipases. High-throughput screening and subsequent exhaustive investigation of the utility of the lipases in a stereoselective process of introducing chirality have been carried out. Lipase A from Candida antarctica as a cross-linked aggregate (CAL-A-CLEA) was the most efficient enzyme for the resolution of the title compound providing (S)-1-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)ethanol and its (R)-acetate in enantiopure form (>99% ee). Under mild reaction conditions, excellent enantioselectivity (E = 407), and good isolated yields of the products were obtained.     

Synthesis of conjugated 2,7-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-(phenylethynyl)nfluoren-9-one and 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methyl derivatives: optical properties

2,7-Substituted 9-fluorenones and 9,9-disubstituted fluorene have been synthesized and their fluorescence properties analyzed. The synthesis of conjugated 2,7-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-(phenylethynyl)_nfluoren-9-one (or the 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methyl) structures was carried out by the heterocoupling reaction between the 2,7-di(halo)fluoren-9-one (or 2,7-dibromo-9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methylfluorene) and p-trimethylsilylethynyl(phenylethynyl)_n (n=1,2), catalyzed by the dichloro bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium and cuprous iodide system, in a divergent synthesis.The π-extended conjugated compounds exhibit fluorescence radiation emission (blue light-emitting), with important quantum yield for the 9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-methyl-2,7-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-(phenylethynyl)_nfluorenes which increases with the conjugation.     

Synthesis and optical behaviors of 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)-, and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkylimidazole homologues

Eight 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)- and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds, three 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylphenanthroimidazole compounds and five 4,5-diphenyl-1-alkyl-2-(9-anthryl)imidazole compounds were synthesized by alkylation reactions of the corresponding benzimidazole, phenanthroimidazole or imidazole compounds. 2-(10-Bromo-9-anthryl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds were prepared by bromination reaction of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylbenzimidazole compounds. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS or HRMS; their absorption coefficients (), maximum absorption λ_amax, fluorescence emission maximum λ_em, Stokes shifts and fluorescence quantum yields (Φ_F) in ethyl acetate were determined; their fluorescent lifetimes (T₁ and T₂) were measured in ethyl acetate and in solid state, respectively. The crystal structure of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-n-butyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole (12a) was determined to be triclinic, space group P-1 types, using single crystal X-ray crystallography technique. The results showed that these compounds exhibited moderate fluorescence-emission abilities and higher solubility in most organic solvents than their corresponding starting materials. The relationships between the optical behaviors and structures for these compounds were discussed.     

Photochemical Properties of 1-(9-Phehanthryl)-2-(2-Quinolyl)ethylene

Spectral and photochemical properties of 1-(9-phehanthryl)-2-(2-quinolyl)ethylene (9Ph2QE) in neutral and protonated forms have been investigated. It has been found that both isomers of 9Ph2QE are photoactive. The quantum yield of trans–cis photoisomerization (? _tc = 0.47) in the neutral form is typical of the diabatic photoisomerization; on passing to the protonated form, ? _tc increases up to 0.70. Thus, the double annelation of the 2-styrylquinoline phenyl group to form 9Ph2QE makes it possible to conserve the α-effect, which consists in an increase in the quantum yield to ? _tc > 0.5 on passing from the neutral to protonated form, whereas the effect disappears for other types of annelation (naphthylquinolylethylenes, 1-(9-anthryl)-2-(2-quinolyl)ethylene).     

Low-lying electronic states of M(3)O(9)(-) and M(3)O(9)(2-) (M = Mo, W)

Multiple low-lying electronic states of M(3)O(9)(-) and M(3)O(9)(2-) (M = Mo, W) arise from the occupation of the near-degenerate low-lying virtual orbitals in the neutral clusters. We used density functional theory (DFT) and coupled cluster theory (CCSD(T)) with correlation consistent basis sets to study the structures and energetics of the electronic states of these anions. The adiabatic and vertical electron detachment energies (ADEs and VDEs) of the anionic clusters were calculated with 27 exchange-correlation functionals including one local spin density approximation functional, 13 generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functionals, and 13 hybrid GGA functionals, as well as the CCSD(T) method. For M(3)O(9)(-), CCSD(T) and nearly all of the DFT exchange-correlation functionals studied predict the (2)A(1) state arising from the Jahn-Teller distortion due to singly occupying the degenerate e' orbital to be lower in energy than the (2)A(1)' state arising from singly occupying the nondegenerate a(1)' orbital. For W(3)O(9)(-), the (2)A(1) state was predicted to have essentially the same energy as the (2)A(1)' state at the CCSD(T) level with core-valence correlation corrections included and to be higher in energy or essentially isoenergetic with most DFT methods. The calculated VDEs from the CCSD(T) method are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values for both electronic states if estimates for the corrections due to basis set incompleteness are included. For M(3)O(9)(2-), the singlet state arising from doubly occupying the nondegenerate a(1)' orbital was predicted to be the most stable state for both M = Mo and W. However, whereas M(3)O(9)(2-) was predicted to be less stable than M(3)O(9)(-), W(3)O(9)(2-) was predicted to be more stable than W(3)O(9)(-).     

Poly[trans-1-(3-vinyl-9-carbazolyl)-2-(9-carbazolyl)cyclobutane]. Synthesis and comparison with poly(9-ethyl-3-vinylcarbazole)

Trans-1-(3-vinyl-9-carbazolyl)-2-(9-carbazolyl)cyclobutane(I) was synthesized. Homopolymerization of I and copolymerization with 9-ethyl-3-vinylcarbazole(II) were conducted cationically. It was found that I polymerized to high molecular weight polymers (< 10⁵) with good yields, although its polymerizability was lower than that of II. Copolymer composition was determined by gel permeation chromatology (GPC) analysis, based on the remaining monomer ratio. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that poly(I) did not form excimer. Excimer emission gradually appeared with increasing II content in poly(I-co-II) to the homopolymer of II. This difference between poly(I) and poly(II) was attributed to the crowded and sterically distorted chromophore assemblies in poly(I). ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy of cyclobutane groups in poly(I) compared with that in the monomer model compound supported the conclusion derived from fluorescence study.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Theoretical Studies of (E)-1-((9-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl)methylene)thiosemicarbazide

A novel thiosemicarbazide derivative, (E)-1-(9-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl) methylene)-thiosemicarbazide (CMT), was synthesized and structurally characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, EI-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 14.769(5), b = 8.279(5), c = 17.166(5) , β = 114.391(5)°, V = 1911.6(14) 3, Z = 4, F(000) = 784, Dc = 1.287 g/m3, Mr = 370.47, μ = 0.190 mm-1, the final R = 0.0390 and wR = 0.1358 for 1446 observed reflections with Ⅰ > 2σ(Ⅰ). The UV-vis absorption spectra of CMT were explained based on quantum chemical calculations, using time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level.

6-Substituted-9-(3-formamidobenzyl)-9H-purines. Benzodiazepine receptor binding activity

A series of 6-substituted-9-(3-formamidobenzyl)purines were synthesized and studied for benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) binding activity. Most of the target compounds were prepared by reaction of 6-chloro-9-(3-formamidobenzyl)-9H-purine ( 17 ) with the appropriate amine, alcohol or other nucleophilic reagent. Alternatively, the 6-cyclopropylaminopurine 5 was synthesized via the nitrobenzyl precursor 22 , and the 6-alkyl-thiopurines 14 and 15 were prepared by alkylation of the appropriate purine with 3-formamidobenzyl bromide. Purines with a variety of 6-substituents retained potent BZR binding properties, although certain bulky 6-substituents led to compounds with diminished activity. None of the compounds exhibited significant activity on a modified Geller-Seifter Conflict schedule.     

Regio- and stereospecific syntheses and nitric oxide donor properties of (E)-9- and (E)-10-nitrooctadec-9-enoic acids

[reaction: see text] Nitrated fatty acids act as endogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) ligands and nitric oxide (NO) donors. We describe the first specific preparation of the two regioisomers of nitrooleic acid, (E)-9-nitrooctadec-9-enoic acid (1) and (E)-10-nitrooctadec-9-enoic acid (2), from cis-cyclooctene and monomethyl azelate, respectively. These syntheses rely upon a Henry condensation between a nine-carbon nitro component and a nine-carbon aldehyde. Preliminary chemiluminescence NO detection studies reveal the ability of these nitrated fatty acids to release NO.
