[3+2] Cycloaddition of metal-containing azomethine ylides for highly efficient synthesis of mitosene skeleton

Efficient synthesis of tricyclic indole derivatives bearing a substituent at the 3-position of the indole nucleus was achieved by the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of transition metal-containing azomethine ylides derived from N-(o-alkynylphenyl)imines with vinyl ethers. Third-row transition metal complexes, especially PtCl₂, turned out to be highly efficient for the reaction of internal alkynes and imidate substrates with wide generality. Moreover, as strong support for the reaction mechanism, the intermediate Pt-carbene complex was found to undergo intramolecular C-H bond insertion reaction to give tetracyclic indoline derivatives when benzyl vinyl ether was employed as a dipolarophile. This protocol provided a facile synthesis of highly functionalized tricyclic indole derivatives found as the basic skeleton of the mitosene family, such as mitomycin C.     

Catalytic CN Bond Alkynylation of N‐Benzylic Sulfonamides with Terminal Alkynes

A new cross‐coupling reaction of N‐benzylic sulfonamides with terminal alkynes for the synthesis of internal alkynes is reported. In the presence of 5 mol% of (Tf)₂NH/Bi(OTf)₃ (1:1), a broad range of N‐benzylic sulfonamides react smoothly with arylacetylenes to afford structurally diverse internal alkynes in moderate to excellent yields. We reasoned that vinyl cations could be formed by the regioselective attack of terminal alkynes with benzyl cations generated in situ from N‐benzylic sulfonamides under acidic conditions, which then eliminated to form a carbon‐carbon triple bond.     

ZnCl2-catalyzed [4 + 2] benzannulation of 2-ethynylbenzaldehydes with alkynes: Selective synthesis of naphthalene derivatives

Zn-catalyzed [4 + 2] benzannulation of 2-ethynylbenzaldehydes with alkynes is described for the selective synthesis of naphthalene derivatives. In the presence of ZnCl₂, a variety of 2-ethynylbenzaldehydes underwent the [4 + 2] benzannulation reactions with alkynes to selectively afford the corresponding naphthalene derivatives in moderate to good yields.     

Regioselective alkanoylation of cyclodextrins

The regioselective transesterification of native α- and β-Cyclodextrins (CDs) with vinyl acetate and vinyl laurate is presented in this paper. The reactions were carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide by using low molecular weight salts (Na₂HPO₄ and NaCl, respectively). MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and NMR analysis were applied to investigate the chemical structure and the degree of the modification of the final products. Results show that these salts catalyze regioselective transesterification between β-CDs and vinyl laurate aiming for the secondary C-2 hydroxyl group. The synthesis and separation of β-CD-laurate derivatives leads to a mixture of mono-2-O-dodecanoyl-β-CD and native β-CDs. Unreacted β-CDs could be selectively removed enzymatically by cyclodextrin glucosyl-transferase (CGTase) and β-amylase.

Determination of fumonisins B1 and B2 in Portuguese maize and maize-based samples by HPLC with fluorescence detection

Fumonisins B₁ (FB₁) and fumonisin B₂ (FB₂) are the main members of a family of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum, and other fungi species of the section Liseola. The present work shows the results of comparative studies using two different procedures for the analysis of fumonisins in maize and maize-based samples. The studied analytical methods involve extraction with methanol/water, dilution with PBS, and clean-up through immunoaffinity columns. Two reagents (o-phthaldialdehyde and naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde) were studied for formation of fluorescent derivatives. The separation and identification were carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The optimized method for analysis of fumonisins in maize involved extraction with methanol/water (80:20), clean-up with an immunoaffinity column, and derivatization with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA). The limit of detection was 20 μg kg⁻¹ for FB₁ and 15 μg kg⁻¹ for FB₂. Recoveries of FB₁ and FB₂ ranged from 79% to 99.6% for maize fortified at 150 μg kg⁻¹ and 200 μg kg⁻¹, respectively, with within-day RSDs of 3.0 and 2.7%. The proposed method was applied to 31 samples, and the presence of fumonisins was found in 14 samples at concentrations ranging from 113 to 2,026 μg kg⁻¹. The estimated daily intake of fumonisins was 0.14 μg kg⁻¹ body weight per day.     

Synthesis of novel 3-deoxy-3-C-triazolylmethyl-allose derivatives and evaluation of their biological activity

Recently, monosaccharide-triazole conjugates have proved to possess a large variety of useful biological activities. This paper describes synthesis of a new series of 3-deoxy-3-C-triazolylmethyl-allose derivatives. These new compounds are obtained from acetonide-protected 3-deoxy-3-azidomethyl allose and commercial alkynes via Cu(I) catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The obtained molecular scaffolds differ from those described earlier by the presence of a methylene linker (-CH₂-) between the C(3) of allose and the triazole moiety. It was demonstrated that acetonide-protected monosaccharide, 3-deoxy-3-C-(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-allofuranose, inhibited α-L-fucosidase for 26% at 0.1 mM concentration, but a deprotected analog, 3-deoxy-3-C-(4-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl-β-d-allofuranose, showed 15% inhibition of β-glucosidase at 1 mM concentration.      

Electropolymerization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>-[RuCl<Subscript>2</Subscript>(vpy)<Subscript>4</Subscript>] complex—EQCM and Raman studies

The electropolymerization of trans-[RuCl₂(vpy)₄] (vpy=4-vinylpyridine) on Au or Pt electrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) technique, and Raman spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry of the monomer at a microelectrode shows the typical Ru(III/II) and Ru(IV/III) waves, together with the vinyl reduction waves at −1.5 and −2.45 V and adsorption wave at −0.8 V. Electrodeposition on EQCM technique performed under potential cycling between −0.9 and −2.0 V revealed that the polymerization proceeded well in advance of the vinyl reduction waves. At potentials more positive than −0.9 V, soluble oligomers were deposited irreversibly on the electrode during the oxidative sweep. The film also showed reversible mass changes due to the oxidation and accompanying ingress of charge-balancing anions and solvent into the film. In contrast, potentiostatic growth of the polymer at −1.6 V was slower because the oligomeric material was lost completely from the electrode. Unreacted vinyl groups were detected by in situ Raman spectroscopy for films grown at −0.7, −0.9, and −1.6 V but were absent when the polymerization was carried out at −2.9 V vs Ag/Ag⁺.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characteristics of σ-vinyl derivatives of platinum(<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">IV</Emphasis>) chloride complexes

A procedure was developed for the synthesis of previously unknown β-chlorovinyl derivatives of Pt^IV chloride complexes by chloroplatination of terminal alkynes catalyzed by Pt^II chloride complexes. The reaction is highly stereoselective and gives only the products of trans-anti-addition of platinum and chlorine atoms. The regioselectivity of the catalytic reaction formally corresponds to Markovnikov’s rule, e.g., in alkynes containing electron-donating substituents, platinum attacks the terminal carbon atom. The σ-vinyl derivatives of Pt^IV chloride complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of dihalo derivatives of the 7,8-dimethyldecahydro-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborate anion

Treatment of potassium 7,8-dimethyldecahydro-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborate with N-chloro-and N-bromosuccinimides in acetonitrile or with an excess of iodine in methanol gave the corresponding dihalo derivatives [9,11-X₂-7,8-Me₂-7,8-C₂B₉H₈]⁻ (X = Cl, Br, or I), which were isolated as alkylammonium salts. The compound (Me₃NH)⁺[9,11-I₂-7-Me-7,8-C₂B₉H₉]⁻ was synthesized by a reaction of K⁺[7-Me-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₁]⁻ with an excess of iodine in methanol. The compounds obtained were characterized by IR and NMR (¹H, ¹¹B, and ¹¹B-¹¹B COSY) spectroscopy. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

1,2,3,4‐Tetrasubstituted Cyclopentadienes and Their Applications for Metallocenes: Efficient Synthesis through Zirconocene‐ and CuCl‐Mediated Intermolecular Coupling of Two Alkynes and One Diiodomethane

1,2,3,4‐Tetrasubstituted cyclopentadienes and indene derivatives with identical or different substituents were obtained in good to excellent isolated yields through a zirconocene‐ and CuCl‐mediated intermolecular coupling process. This synthetic procedure involved three organic partners, including one CH₂I₂, and two different or identical alkynes. Two alkynes or one diyne undergo Cp₂Zr^II‐mediated (Cp=η⁵‐C₅H₅) pair‐selective reductive coupling to afford the corresponding zirconacyclopentadiene derivatives, which react, in the presence of CuCl and 1,3‐dimethyl‐3,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐2(1 H)‐pyrimidinone (DMPU), with CH₂I₂ through intermolecular followed by intramolecular coupling to afford the cyclopentadiene derivatives. An application of the prepared tetrasubstituted cyclopentadiene derivatives was demonstrated by the facile synthesis of the corresponding zirconocene complexes [(^4RCp)₂ZrCl₂] and [(^4RCp)₂ZrR′₂] (R′=Me, Et, or nBu). The unique 1,2,3,4‐tetrasubstituted cyclopentadiene ligands and the corresponding metallocenes are expected to have further applications in organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis.     

Palladium(II) acetate catalyzed efficient synthesis of N‐aryl‐α,β‐unsaturated amides via carbonylative addition of aniline derivatives to aromatic alkynes

A series of new N‐aryl‐α,β‐disubstituted amides (gem or E1; trans or E2) were synthesized in good yields by carbonylative addition of aniline derivatives 1a–f to aromatic alkynes 2a,b catalyzed by Pd(OAc)₂ and 1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane. The catalytic synthesis of tertiary α,β‐unsaturated amides was also successfully achieved. Traces of products were observed in the absence of p‐toluenesulfonic acid used as an additive. The reaction is sensitive to the type of phosphine ligand and solvent. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and characterization of nanotube Li-Ti-O by molten salt method

Nanotube Li-Ti-O compound with high surface (198.6 m²·g⁻¹) was prepared by a method involving the treatment of nanotube Na₂Ti₂O₅·H₂O in molten LiNO₃ and characterization by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectra (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG/DTG). Results show that the nanotube Li-Ti-O compound prepared by this method involves two crystal phases: spinel Li₂Ti₂O₄ and anatase Li_xTiO₂ (x < 0.1). Li⁺ exhibits different Li1s binding energy in the two crystal phases. In ambient air, the Li-Ti-O compound adsorbs water easily, and the chemically adsorbed water is difficult to remove below 400°C.

Diaminomethylidene derivatives of β-oxo sulfones as potential reagents in heterocyclic synthesis and chelating ligands

Active methylene β-oxo sulfones add to the C≡N bond of benzoylcyanamide in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ni(acac)₂. Debenzoylation of the reaction products under the action of MeONa in MeOH gives N,N′-unsubstituted diaminomethylidene derivatives of β-oxo sulfones (acyl(R-sulfonyl)ketene aminals), which can be used as reagents for heterocyclic synthesis and as chelating ligands. The syntheses of 2-amino-3-arylsulfonylpyridin-4(1H)-ones and 5-sulfonylcytosine derivatives are presented as examples.

XRD and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance analysis of CeO2-ZrO2 solid solutions synthesized by combustion method

A series of ceria-incorporated zirconia (Ce_1−xZr_xO₂,x = 0 to 1) solid solutions were prepared by employing the solution combustion synthesis route. The products were characterized by XRD and UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The materials are crystalline in nature and the lattice parameters of the solid solution series follow Vegard’s law. Diffuse reflectance spectra of the solid solutions in the UV region show two intense bands at 250 and 297 nm which are assigned respectively to Ce³⁺ ← O²⁻and Ce⁴⁺ ← O²⁻ charge transfer transitions. The two vibrational bands in 6960 cm⁻¹ and 5168 cm⁻¹ in the NIR region indicate the presence of surface hydroxyl groups on these materials.     

The NiFe2O4 - MgFe2O4 series as electrode materials for electrochemical reduction of NO x

Solid solutions of spinel-type oxides with the composition (x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0) were prepared with the glycine-nitrate combustion synthesis (x = 0.0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6) and the citric-acid combustion synthesis (x = 1.0). The oxides were used as electrode materials in a pseudo-three-electrode setup in the temperature range of 400–600 °C. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the electrochemical behavior in 1% NO and 10% O₂. Measurements show that NiFe₂O₄ has relatively high cathodic activity in both NO and O₂, whereas MgFe₂O₄ shows much higher activity in NO compared to O₂. MgFe₂O₄ was also measured with cyclic voltammetry in 1% NO₂ and different gas mixtures of NO and O₂ at 300 and 400 °C. Results show that the cathodic activities (−0.6 V) are relatively high with current ratios, , ranging from 10.1–167.7 and with a maximum at 400 °C. Dilatometry measurements were performed on the materials in air up to 1,000 °C, and they showed that the Curie temperature could be detected for all samples. Four-point DC resistivity measurements at elevated temperatures show that Ni_0.4Mg_0.6Fe₂O₄ has the highest conductivity, whereas Ni_0.7Mg_0.3Fe₂O₄ and NiFe₂O₄ have the highest conductivity at lower temperatures.     

Water‐Accelerated Organometallic Chemistry: Alkyne Carboalumination – Sulfinimine Addition and Asymmetric Synthesis of Allylic Amines

Carboalumination of alkynes in the presence of catalytic Cp₂ZrCl₂ and H₂O affords vinyl‐alane intermediates, which serve as nucleophiles in the subsequent addition to enantiomerically enriched (tert‐butyl)‐ and (para‐tolyl)sulfinimines. This new in situ protocol produces two new C C bonds. Chiral allylic sulfinamides are obtained in high diastereoselectivity and in good yield. Cleavage of the chiral auxiliary leads to synthetically useful allylic amine building blocks, and facile oxidative degradation of the alkene moiety can be used as an approach toward amino acid derivatives and for assignment of absolute configuration.
