Mixed-ligand complex formation equilibria of CuII with biguanide in presence of glycine as the auxiliary ligand

Equilibrium study on the mixed ligand complex formation of Cu^II with biguanide(Bg) and glycine (HG), indicated the formation of the complexes: Cu(Bg)²⁺, Cu(Bg) ₂ ²⁺ , Cu(Bg-H)(Bg)+, Cu(Bg-H)₂, Cu(Bg)(OH)⁺, Cu(Bg-H)(OH); Cu(G)⁺, Cu(G)(OH), Cu(G)₂; Cu(G)(Bg)⁺, Cu(G)(Bg-H); (G)Cu(Bg)Cu(G)²⁺, (G)Cu(Bg-H)Cu(G)⁺, and (G)Cu(Bg-2H)Cu(G). From the deprotonation constants of coordinated biguanide (Bg) in the complexes Cu(Bg)(OH)⁺, Cu(Bg-H)(Bg)⁺ and Cu(G)(Bg)⁺, the Lewis basicities of the coordinated ligand species (Bg-H)^-, OH^- and glycinate (G^-) were found to be of the order: (Bg-H)^-≫ OH^- > G^-. Bridging (N¹-N⁴, N²-N⁵) tetradentate mode of coordination by biguanide species Bg, (Bg-H)^- and (Bg2H)^2- was indicated from the occurrence of biguanide-bridged dinuclear mixed ligand complexes (G)Cu(Bg)Cu(G)²⁺, (G)Cu(Bg-H)Cu(G)⁺, (G)Cu(Bg-2H)Cu(G) in the complexation equilibria.

[Cp₂Fe₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)(μ-CHP(OPh)₃)⁺][BF^? ₄] crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 12.553(7) Å, b = 16.572(11) Å, c = 15.112(8) Å, β = 100.00(4)°, V = 3096(3) ų and D(calcd.) = 1.579 g/cm³ for Z = 4. The structure was refined to R(F) = 5.83% for 1972 reflections above 4σ(F). The cation contains two CpFe(CO) fragments linked via an iron—iron bond (Fe(1)—Fe(2) = 2.544(3)Å), a bridging carbonyl ligand (Fe(1)—C(4) = 1.918(1) Å, Fe(2)—C(4) = 1.946(12)Å) and a bridging CHP(OPh)₃ ligand (Fe(1)—C(1) = 1.980(9)Å, Fe(2)—C(1) = 1.989(8)Å). Distances within the μ-CHP(OPh)₃ moiety include a rather short carbon—phosphorus bond [C(1)—P(1) = 1.680(10)Å] and P—O bond lengths of 1.550(7)–1.579(6)Å. The crystal is stabilized by a network of F…H—C interactions involving the BF^? ₄ anion.

[Cp₂Fe₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)(μ-CHPPh₃)⁺][BF^? ₄], which differs from the previous compound only in having a μ-CHPPh₃ (rather than μ-CHP(OPh)₃) ligand, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 11.248(5)Å, b = 13.855(5)Å, c = 18.920(7)Å, β = 96.25(3)°, V = 2931(2)ų and D(calcd.) = 1.559 g/cm³ for Z = 4. This structure was refined to R(F) = 4.66% for 1985 reflections above 4σ(F). Bond lengths within the dinuclear cation here include Fe(1)-Fe(2) = 2.529(2)Å, Fe(1)—C(3) = 1.904(9) Å and Fe(2)—C(3) = 1.911(8) Å (for the bridging CO ligand) and Fe(1)—C(1P) = 1.995(6) Å and Fe(2)—C(1P) = 1.981(7) Å (for the bridging CHPPh₃ ligand). Distances within the μ-CHPPh₃ ligand include a longer carbon—phosphorus bond [C(1P)—P(1) = 1.768(6)Å] and P(1)—C(phenyl) = 1.797(7)–1.815(8) Å.

Carotenoids from Hips of Rosa pomifera: Discovery of (5Z)-Neurosporene; Synthesis of (3R, 15Z)-Rubixanthin Extensive chromatographic separations of the mixture of carotenoids from ripe hips of R. pomifera have led to the identification of 43 individual compounds, namely (Scheme 2): (15 Z)-phytoene (1) , (15 Z)-phytofluene (2) , all-(E)-phytofluene (2a) , ξ-carotene (3) , two mono-(Z)-ξ-carotenes ( 3a and 3b ), (6 R)-?, ψ-carotene (4) , a mono-(Z)-?, ψ-carotene (4a) , β, ψ-carotene (5) , a mono-(Z)-β, ψ-carotene (5a) , neurosporene (6) , (5 Z)-neurosporene (6a) , a mono-(Z)-neurosporene (6b) , lycopene (7) , five (Z)-lycopenes (7a–7e) , β, β-carotene (8) , two mono-(Z)-β, β-carotenes (probably (9 Z)-β, β-carotene (8a) and (13 Z)-β, β-carotene (8b) ), β-cryptoxanthin (9) , three (Z)-β-cryptoxanthins (9a–9c) , rubixanthin (10) , (5′ Z)-rubixanthin (=gazaniaxanthin; 10a ), (9′ Z)-rubixanthin (10b) , (13′ Z)- and (13 Z)-rubixanthin (10c and 10d , resp.), (5′ Z, 13′ Z)- or (5′ Z, 13 Z)-rubixanthin (10e) , lutein (11) , zeaxanthin (12) , (13 Z)-zeaxanthin (12b) , a mono-(Z)-zeaxanthin (probably (9 Z)-zeaxanthin (12a) ), (8 R)-mutatoxanthin (13) , (8 S)-mutatoxanthin (14) , neoxanthin (15) , (8′ R)-neochrome (16) , (8′ S)-neochrome (17) , a tetrahydroxycarotenoid (18?) , a tetrahydroxy-epoxy-carotenoid (19?) , and a trihydroxycarotenoid of unknown structure. Rubixanthin (10) and (5′ Z)-rubixanthin (10a) can easily be distinguished by HPLC. separation and CD. spectra at low temperature. The synthesis of (3 R, 15 Z)-rubixanthin (29) is described. The isolation of (5 Z)-neurosporene (6a) supports the hypothesis that the ?-end group arises by enzymatic cyclization of precursors having a (5 Z)- or (5′ Z)-configuration.

We have been able to synthesize chlorodifluomethyltetracarbonyl- cobalt (1) by the reaction of chlorodifluoroacetyl chloride and sodium tetracarbonylcobaltate(-I) at low temperatures. (1) decomposes at normal temperature to yield μ-difluoromethylene-μ-carbonyl-bis(tricarbonylcobalt) (Co-Co) (2), di-μ-difluoromethylene-bis (tricarbonylcobalt) (Co-Co) (3) and μ-difluormethylene-μ-tetrafluoroethylidene-bis (tricarbonylcobalt) (Co-Co) (4).

Solvent effects on oxygen atom transfer reaction between manganese(V)-oxo corrole and alkene

Pseudo-first order reaction rate constants of 5,10,15-tris（pentafluorophenyl）corrole Mn（V）-oxo (F₁₅CMn（V）-oxo),5,15-bis（pentafluorophenyl）-10-（phenyl）corrole Mn（V）-oxo(F₁₀CMn（V）-oxo),5,15- bis（phenyl）-10-（pentafluorophenyl）corrole Mn（V）-oxo（F₅CMn（V）-oxo） and 5,10,15-tris（phenyl）corrole Mn（V）-oxo（F₀CMn（V）-oxo） with a series of alkene substrates in different solvents were determined by UV-vis spectroscopy.The results indicated that the oxygen atom transfer pathway between Mn（V）-oxo corrole and alkene is solvent-dependent.     

Kinetics for the catalyzed formation of poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) by various metal compounds

The catalyzed transesterification between dimethyl 2,6-naphthalate and ethylene glycol and polycondensation of bis (2-hydroxyethyl) naphthalate have been investigated in the presence of various metal compounds as catalysts. The effect of the nature and concentration of these catalysts on both reactions has been studied. The observed overall rate of the transesterification was third order; first order with respect to dimethyl 2,6-naphthalate, ethylene glycol, and the catalyst including initial concentration of catalyst, respectively. The decreasing order in catalytic activity on the transesterification was the order of Pb(II) > Zn(II) > Mn(II) > Co(II) > Ti(IV) > Sn(II) > Mg(II) > Ca(II) > Na(I) > Sb(III). And also, the decreasing order in catalytic activity on the polycondensation was found to be Ti(IV) > mixtures of Ti(IV) and Sb(III) > Sn(II) > Sb(III) > Co(II) > Zn(II) > Pb(II) > Mn(II) > Mg(II). © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

The molecular structure of gaseous tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone and tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone as determined by electron diffraction

The molecular structures of gaseous tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone (p-fluoranil) and tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone (duroquinone) have been investigated by electron diffraction. Except for the methyl group hydrogen atoms, the molecules are planar to within experimental error, but small deviations from planarity are completely compatible with the data. Values for the geometrical parameters (r_adistances and r_α with parenthesized uncertainties of 2σ including estimated uncertainty in the electron wavelength and correlation effects, are as follows. Tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone: D_2h symmetry (assumed); r(C0) = 1.211(6) Å, r(CC) = 1.339(12) Å, r(C-C) = 1.489(5') Å, r(C-F) = 1.323(5) Å, ∠C-C-C = 116.8(7)° and ∠C-C-F = 116.1(7)°. Tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone: C_2h symmetry (assumed);r(C-H) = 1.102(18) Å, r(CO) = 1.229(8) Å, r(CC) = 1.352(8) Å, r(C_sp2-C_sp2) = 1.491(11) Å, r(C_sp2-C_sp3) = 1.504(12) A, ∠C-CO-C = 120.8(8)°. ∠C-C-CH₃ = 116.1(8)°, ∠C-C-H = 110.5(34)° and α₁ = α₂ (methyl torsion = 30° (assumed).     

Synthesis of functionalised cyclopentanes by intramolecular radical-mediated cyclisations of terminal allenic ketones

Electrolysis of a series of terminal allenic ketones e.g. (7), (10), (17) and (21) is shown to result in intramolecular reductive cyclisation, through the $\text{exo}$-mode, producing five-membered rings, $\text{viz}$ (8), (9), (20) and (22) respectively, incorporating a bridgehead hydroxyl group. The unsaturated alcohols (8), (20) and (22), are also obtained when the allenic ketones (7), (17) and (21) are treated with sodium naphthalenide. By contrast treatment of (10) in the sodium naphthalenide gives a low yield ($\text{ca}$ 7%) of the isomeric indenol (11) by cyclisation through the $\text{endo}$-mode.Reductive cyclisations of the terminal acetylenic ketones (14) and (30) produce the corresponding unsaturated alcohols (26) and (31) respectively. Treatment of the alcohols (26) and (31) with catalytic selenium dioxide then provides the enediols (27) and (32) respectively, which make up the B/C ring systems of the novel marine natural products capnellenediol (1) and isoamijiol (2).     

Synthesis of rod-coil block copolymers via end-functionalized poly(p-phenylene)s

This paper describes a new way to synthesize rod-coil block copolymers consisting of poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) as rigid rod and either polystyrene (PS) or poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as flexible coil. The Suzuki-coupling of the AB-type monomer 4-bromo-2,5-diheptylbenzeneboronic acid (1) under strictly proton-free conditions leads to the control of PPP endgroups and hence allows the synthesis of a variety of differently end-functionalized poly(p-phenylene)s. The poly(2,5-diheptyl-p-phenylene)-block-polystyrene (7) is then prepared via condensation via condensation of anionically polymerized living polystyrene ( 6 ) with α-(4-formylphenyl)-ω-phenyl-poly(2,5diheptyl-p-phenylene) ( 4 ). Toluenesulfonic acid catalyzed condensation of α-methyl-ω-amino-poly(oxyethylene) ( 8 ) with PPP 4 yields poly(2,5-diheptyl-p-phenylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) ( 9 ).     

Tetraazaadamantane derivatives of group VI metal carbonyls

Summary Tetraazaadamantane (taad) reacts with group VI metal hexacarbonyls to give mononuclear (taad)M(CO)₅ (M=Cr, Mo and W) derivatives. Mixed ligand metal tricarbonyls,cis- (L-L)(taad)M(CO)₃ (L-L=o-phenanthroline or 2,2-bipyridine; M=Cr and Mo) have also been synthesised. Bromine or iodine reacts with (taad)M(CO)₅ (M=Cr and Mo) to give [(taad)M(CO)₅X]⁺X^– (X=Br or I). Nitrosyl chloride reacts with (taad)M(CO)₅ at room temperature to yieldmer- (taad)M(CO)₃NOCl while with the mixed (L-L)(taad)-Mo(CO)₃ complex, a mixture of (L-L)Mo(NO)₂Cl₂ and (L-L)Mo(CO)₂NOCl was obtained. An analogous reaction with (L-L)(taad)Cr(CO)₃, gave only (L-L)Cr(NO)₂Cl₂ derivatives. The products have been characterised by elemental analysis, i.r. spectra, conductivity data and magnetic measurements.     

Metabolism and Interaction with Esterases of O-Ethyl-S-(Methoxycarsonalmethylmercaptomethyl)Methylphospho-Nodithioate

Abstract

Metabolism of an effective insecticide and acaricide Me(EtO)P(S)SCH₂ SCH₂ COOMe (I) (I) in rat and American cockroacii was investigated. For this purpose the metabolites of oxidative activation and hydrolytic detoxication of (I) -Me(EtO)P(0)SCB₂SCH₂COOMe (II), Me(EtO)P(0)SCH₂S (0) CH₂COOMe (III), Me(EtO)P(S)SCH₂S(0)CH₂COOMe (IV) and Me(EtO)-P(S)SCH₂SCH₂COOH (V) were synthesized.     

Reactions of RSe− (R = Me,Ph) Groups in [RSeFe(CO)4I and [RSeCr(CO)5−]

The anionic [MeSeFe(CO)₄] and [MeSeCr(CO)₅] complexes were synthesized by reaction of [PPN][HFe(CO)₄] and [PPN][HCr(CO)₅] with MeSeSeMe respectively via nucleophilic cleavage of the Se-Se bond. The ease of cleavage of the Se-Se bond follows the nucleophilic strength of metal-hydride complexes. Methylation of [RSeCr(CO)₅^?] by the soft alkylating agent MeI resulted in the formation of neutral (MeSeMe)Cr(CO)₅ in THF at 0°C. In contrast, the [ICr(CO)₅^?] was isolated at ambient temperature. Reaction of [MeSeFe(CO)₄^?] or [MeSeCr(CO)₅^?] with HBF₄ yielded (CO)₃Fc(μ-SeMe)₂Fe(CO)₃ dimer and anionic [(CO )₅Cr (μ-SeMe)Cr(CO)₅^?] respectively, and no neutral (HSeMe)Fe(CO)₄ and (HSeMe)Cr(CO)₅ were detected spectrally (IR) even at low temperature. Reaction of NOBF₄ or [Ph₃C][BF₄] and [MeSeCr(CO)₅^?] resulted in the neutral monodentate (MeSeSeMe)Cr(CO)₅ complex. Addition of 1 equiv CpFe(CO)₂I to 2 equiv [MeSeCr(CO)₅^?] gave CpFe(CO)₂(SeMe) and the anionic [(CO)₅Cr(μ-SeMe)Cr(CO)₅^?] in THF at ambient temperature.     

Syntheses,interconversions and reactivity of heteropalladacycles made from aryl isocyanates and various phenanthroline Pd(II) precursors with small molecules

The synthesis and full characterisation of new families of palladacycles such as (o-phen)PdN(Ar)C(O)N(Ar)C(O) (2/2a–g), (o-phen)PdN(Ar)C(O)N(Ar)C(O)N(Ar) (3/3a–c) and (o-phen)PdN(Ar)C(O)N(Ar) (4/4a–b) is reported (o-phen = 2,2’-phenanthroline), as well as the X-ray structure of the six-member palladacycle (o-phen)PdN(Tol)C(O)N(Tol)C(O)N(Tol) (3c·Et₂O). The reactivity of these palladacycles with small molecules like CO, PhNCO and H⁺ is also investigated. This contribution reveals a rich chemistry and provides a complete picture of the possible interconversions existing between members of different families. Analysed in the context of the catalytic carbonylation of nitroaromatics, this study also gives some clues to understanding the disappointing results reported for (Pd/o-phen/H⁺) catalytic systems when the transformation is attempted in the absence of alcoholic solvent. Notably, the formation of five-member palladacycles like 2 under these conditions could be at the origin of the catalyst deactivation.
