Electrochemical reduction of hydrogenated 2-pyrimidones on a graphite electrode

A rotating disk-ring, graphite electrode was used to show that the first step in the electrochemical oxidation of substituted 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines in anhydrous acetonitrile corresponds to a two-electron process and leads to the formation of the corresponding substituted 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyrimidines. The electroreduction wave of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyrimidines on the ring electrode which appears at about –1.0 V is related to the reduction of the protonated oxidized species arising in the electrolysis. The electrochemical oxidation potentials of 11 hydrogenated 2-pyrimidones and electrochemical reduction-potentials of two 2-pyrimidines were determined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 117–121, January, 1985.

Special Features of the Electrochemical Oxidation of Substituted 4-Carboxy-1,4-dihydropyridines

Electrochemical oxidation potentials of 1,4-dihydropyridines substituted with 4-COOH, 4-COOR, and 4-CONRR' groups have been determined in aprotic acetonitrile by the rotating ring-disk electrode method (RRDE). The electrochemical reduction potentials of the resulting products were also determined at the ring electrode. It was established that protonated pyridines are formed in the oxidation of derivatives with and without a substituent in position 4 of the heterocycle. In the case of 4-alkoxycarbonyl substituted compounds the substituent at position 4 is generally retained. 1,4-Dihydrogenated derivatives of isonicotinic acid as a rule loose the substituent at position 4 on oxidation, and both types of product were recorded for the corresponding 4-carbamoyl derivatives. The substituent at position 9 of the heterocycle was mainly retained on electrochemical oxidation of the 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-1,8-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridine derivatives studi! ed.     

Reaction of diketene with cyanothioacetamide: A convenient and regioselective method for the preparation of new 4(1H)-pyridone derivatives

The reaction of diketene with cyanothioacetamide in dry dioxane in the presence of triethylamine gives triethylammonium 3-cyano-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridinethiolate. The regioselective S-alkylation of this thiolate is a convenient method for the preparation of substituted 4(1H)-pyridones and also derivatives of thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine and thieno[2,3-b]pyridine. The action of 2-amino-1,1,3-tricyanopropene on this thiolate leads to its transformation into a new heterocyclic system, namely, 5H-pyrido[2′,3′:4,5]thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine; treatment with iodine yields the oxidation product, namely, the corresponding bis(2-pyridyl) disulfide. The structure of isopropyl (3-cyano-6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-2-pyridinyl)thioacetate was confirmed by X-ray diffraction structural analysis. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 716–725, May, 2007.     

2-pyridones from cyanoacetamides and enecarbonyl compounds: application to the synthesis of nothapodytine B

The condensation of an enone or enal with cyanoacetamide derivatives and t-BuOK furnishes either 3-cyano-2-pyridones or 3-unsubstituted-2-pyridones, depending on whether the reaction is carried out in the presence or in the absence of O(2). In the first case, in situ oxidation of Michael-type intermediates takes place; in the second case, the products result from "decyanidative aromatization" of such intermediates. A one-step synthesis of 3-alkyl-2-pyridones has been devised on the basis of decyanative union of an enone/enal and a 2-alkylcyanoacetamide. The new reaction forms the centerpiece of an unusually concise synthesis of nothapodytine B (mappicine ketone).

Dications of benzylidenefluorene and diphenylmethylidene fluorene: the relationship between magnetic and energetic measures of antiaromaticity

Oxidation of m- and p-substituted benzylidene fluorenes to antiaromatic dications was attempted by electrochemical and chemical means. Electrochemical oxidation to dications was successful for benzylidene fluorenes with p-methoxy, p-methyl, p-fluoro, and unsubstituted phenyl rings in the 3-position; attempts to oxidize the m-substituted derivatives via electrochemistry were unsuccessful. Chemical oxidation with SbF(5)/SO(2)ClF gave the dication of 9-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methylene]-9H-fluorene cleanly; oxidation of all other substituted benzylidene fluorenes resulted in mixtures of products. The excellent linear relationship between the chemical shifts calculated by the GIAO method and the experimental shifts for the p-methoxy-substituted benzylidene fluorene dication suggests that the calculations satisfactorily reflect the magnetic properties of this dication and potentially those of the other dications studied. The redox potentials from electrochemical oxidation, a measure of the stability of the dications, showed a good linear relationship with another measure of stability, the calculated difference in energy between each dication and its neutral precursor. The dications of benzylidene fluorenes were less stable than the dications of diphenylmethylidene fluorenes; within each type of compound, dications with p-substituted phenyl rings were more stable than dications with m-substituted phenyl rings and dications with phenyl rings substituted with electron-donating groups were more stable than dications with phenyl rings substituted with electron-withdrawing groups. The antiaromaticity of the fluorenyl system was assessed through the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) that was also calculated by the GIAO method. The plot of the NICS values per square area versus the calculated energy difference for the dications showed a moderate degree of linearity; the plot of NICS values per square area versus the oxidation potentials was less linear. Thus, a suggestive, but not conclusive, relationship between magnetic and energetic measures of antiaromaticity was observed.     

Low‐oxidation‐potential conducting polymers derived from 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene and dialkoxybenzenes

Monomers derived from 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene and phenylenes with branched or oligomeric ether dialkoxy substituents were prepared with the Negishi coupling technique. Electrooxidative polymerization led to the corresponding dialkoxy‐substituted 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene–phenylene polymers, with extremely low oxidation potentials (E_1/2,p = ?0.16 to ?0.50 V vs Ag/Ag⁺) due to the highly electron‐rich nature of these materials. The polymers were electrochromic, reversibly switching from red to blue upon oxidation, with bandgaps at about 2 eV. The electrochemical behavior of the oligomeric ether‐substituted polymer was investigated in the presence of different metal ions. Films of the polymer exhibited electrochemical recognition for several alkali and alkaline‐earth cations with selectivity in the order Li⁺ > Ba²⁺ > Na⁺ > Mg²⁺. Cyclic voltammetry showed a decrease in the oxidation potential and an improvement in the definition of the voltammetric response, as well as an increase in the overall electroactivity of the polymer films when the concentration of the cations in the medium was increased. These results are discussed in terms of the electrostatic interactions between the complexed cation and the redox center, as well as the diffusion of the ionic species into the polymer matrix. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and Redox Behavior of Novel 9,10‐Diphenylphenanthrenes

The synthesis and electrochemical investigations of 9,10‐diphenylphenanthrene 2a and its derivatives 2b – 2e are reported. The cyclic voltammetry of derivatives 2a – 2c and 2e in different solvent/Bu₄NPF₆ electrolyte systems reveals that the redox properties are dependent on solvent, temperature, and sweep rate. The oxidation of 9,10‐diphenylphenanthrene 2a occurred as an irreversible process, while two fully reversible oxidation waves were observed for dimethoxy derivative 2c . The room‐temperature oxidation of brominated compound 2b is reversible, whereas AcO‐substituted phenanthrene 2e displayed a reversible oxidation peak only at low temperature. Furthermore, the electronic nature of the substituent affects the oxidation potentials. In the CH₂Cl₂‐based electrolyte system, the first oxidation potentials increase in the order 2c < 2e < 2b .     

Analysis of influence of substituents on electrochemical oxidation and reduction potentials of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds,on the basis of the dependence of electronic effects of the substituents in π-systems on the character of the π-molecular orbitals

The influence of substituents on the electrochemical potentials of aromatic and heterocyclic -systems has been analyzed from the standpoint of the relationship between the electronic effects of the substituents and the structure of the -molecular orbitals. The proposed calculational schemes and parametrization can be used for quantitative estimates of the magnitudes of the electrochemical oxidation and reduction potentials of substituted aromatic and heterocyclic compounds.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 3, pp. 153–165, May–June, 1995.

The electrochemical oxidation potentials of 41 compounds were determined, and the influence of electronic effects of substituents introduced into various positions of the dihydropyridine ring on E_p and E_1/2 was revealed. The potentials obtained were compared with the peculiarities of the chemical and enzymatic oxidation of-the corresponding compounds.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 84–87, January, 1972.

Mixed substituted porphyrins: structural and electrochemical redox properties

To examine the influence of mixed substituents on the structural, electrochemical redox behavior of porphyrins, two new classes of beta-pyrrole mixed substituted free-base tetraphenylporphyrins H2(TPP(Ph)4X4) (X = CH3, H, Br, Cl, CN) and H2(TPP(CH3)4X4) (X = H, Ph, Br, CN) and their metal (M = Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)) complexes have been synthesized effectively using the modified Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Optical absorption spectra of these porphyrins showed significant red-shift with the variation of X in H2(TPPR4X4), and they induce a 20-30 nm shift in the B band and a 25-100 nm shift in the longest wavelength band [Q(x)(0,0)] relative to the corresponding H2TPPR4 (R = CH3, Ph) derivatives. Crystal structure of a highly sterically crowded Cu(TPP(Ph)4(CH3)4).2CHCl3 complex shows a combination of ruffling and saddling of the porphyrin core while the Zn(TPP(Ph)4Br4(CH3OH)).CH3OH structure exhibits predominantly saddling of the macrocycle. Further, the six-coordinated Ni(TPP(Ph)4(CN)4(Py)2).2(Py) structure shows nearly planar geometry of the porphyrin ring with the expansion of the core. Electrochemical redox behavior of the MTPPR4X4 compounds exhibit dramatic cathodic shift in first ring oxidation potentials (300-500 mV) while the reduction potentials are marginally cathodic in contrast to their corresponding MTPPX4 (X = Br, CN) derivatives. The redox potentials were analyzed using Hammett plots, and the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap decreases with an increase in the Hammett parameter of the substituents. Electronic absorption spectral bands of H2TPPR4X4 are unique that their energy lies intermediate to their corresponding data for the H2(TPPX8) (X = CH3, Ph, Br, Cl) derivatives. The dramatic variation in redox potentials and large red-shift in the absorption bands in mixed substituted porphyrins have been explained on the basis of the nonplanarity of the macrocycle and substituent effects.     

One-electron oxidation and reduction potentials of nitroxide antioxidants: a theoretical study

High-level ab initio calculations have been used to determine the oxidation and reduction potentials of a large number of nitroxides including derivatives of piperidine, pyrrolidine, isoindoline, and azaphenalene, substituted with COOH, NH2, NH3+, OCH3, OH, and NO2 groups, with a view to (a) identifying a low-cost theoretical procedures for the determination of electrode potentials of nitroxides and (b) studying the effect of substituents on these systems. Accurate oxidation and reduction potentials to within 40 mV (3.9 kJ mol(-1)) of experimental values were found using G3(MP2)-RAD//B3-LYP/6-31G(d) gas-phase energies and PCM solvation calculations at the B3-LYP/6-31G(d) level. For larger systems, an ONIOM method in which G3(MP2)-RAD calculations for the core are combined with lower-cost RMP2/6-311+G(3df,2p) calculations for the full system, was able to approximate G3(MP2)-RAD values (to within 1.6 kJ mol(-1)) at a fraction of the computational cost. The overall ring structure has more effect on the electrode potentials than the inclusion of substituents. Azaphenalene derivatives display the lowest oxidation potentials and least negative reduction potentials and are thus the most promising target to function as antioxidants in biological systems. Piperidine and pyrrolidine derivatives have intermediate oxidation potentials but on average pyrrolidine derivatives display more negative reduction potentials. Isoindoline derivatives show higher oxidation potentials and more negative reduction potentials. Within a ring, the substituents have a relatively small effect with electron donating groups such as amino and hydroxy groups stabilizing the oxidized species and electron withdrawing groups such as carboxy groups stabilizing the reduced species, as expected.
