Spiro[1,3-benzoxathiepin-4(5H),1′-cyclohexa[2,4]dien]-2,2′-dione,a Novel Heterocyclic Ring System

Abstract

Besides the common cyclisation reactions between divalent electrophiles such as Soc1₂, SC1₂, etc. and 2,2′-alkylidene-bisphenols 1 with selective attack by the two oxygens yielding dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxathiocines [1] we observed previously an unusual cyclisation of 1 with S₂CI₂ with a nucleophilic attack by the ortho- and para-carbon atoms (C(2) and C(4)) of bisphenol 1 [2]. We now report a new type of cyclocondensation reaction of 4,4′,6,6′-tetrasubstituted 2,2′-alkylidene-bisphenols 1 with ClSCOCl affording spiro[1,3-benzoxathiepin-4(5H),1′-cyclohexa[2,4]dien]-2,2′-diones 2 together with the cyclic carbonates 3. The structures of the products were elucidated mainly by ^l3C-NMR- and ¹H-NMR-spectroscopy. The mode of formation of the novel spiro thiocarbonates 2 resp. the known carbonates 3 [3] is discussed.     

Coordination behavior of chromone Schiff bases towards the [ReVO]3+ and [ReI(CO)3]+ cores

Herein, we describe the coordination behavior of chromone Schiff bases towards [Re^VO]³⁺ and [Re^I(CO)₃]⁺. The reaction between 2-(2-thiolphenyliminomethyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (Htch) and [Re(CO)₅Cl] led to fac-[Re(CO)₃(bsch)Cl] (1) (bsch = 2-benzothiazole-4H-chromen-4-one). The square pyramidal [ReO(Hns)] (2) {H₂ns=bis-[(2-phenylthiolate)iminomethyl]-methyl-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one} and octahedral [ReO(OCH₃)(PPh₃)(Huch)] (3) complexes were isolated from reactions of trans-[Re^VOBr₃(PPh₃)₂] with Htch and H₃uch [(5Z)-5-((4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-2H-chromen-3-yl)methyleneamino)-6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H, 3H)-dione], respectively. The chromone Schiff bases and their metal complexes were fully characterized via NMR-, IR- and UV–Vis spectroscopy, single crystal XRD analysis and conductivity measurements. In addition, DFT studies were conducted to compare selected optimized and experimental parameters of the complexes.     

p-tert-Butylcalix[4]arene Derivatives Containing Azathiol Receptors and Their Recognition towards Hg(II)

25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diimine-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (3),25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diimine-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (4),25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,8-diimine-3,6-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (5) and25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,8-diimine-3,6-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (6) havebeen synthesized by condensation reactions between25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzaldehyde))-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (1) and25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzaldehyde))-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene (2) and appropriateamines. Reduction of 3 and 4 withNaBH₄ and subsequent protonation byHCl/CH₃OH resulted in25,27(2,2'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diaza-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenedihydrogenchloride (7) and25,27(4,4'-bis(ethoxybenzyl))-1,9-diaza-3,7-dithianonane-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arenedihydrogenchloride (8), respectively. Complexation studies of 7 and 8 withZn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) ions were carried out bypotentiometric titration. Compounds 7 and8 selectively form 1 : 1 complexes with Hg(II), andtheir stability constants (log Ks) were estimated tobe 4.47 ± 0.08 and 3.20 ± 0.13, respectively. From spiecies distribution plots, 7 and 8were found to form the highest amount of 1 : 1 complexes with Hg(II) at pH 8.7 and 9.1, respectively.     

Regioselective intramolecular bridging of p-tert-butylcalix[10]arene

The synthesis and characterization of a series of regioselective intramolecular bridging of calix[10]arene are described for the first time. Reacting p-tert-butylcalix[10]arene with tri-ethylene glycol ditosylate using K₂CO₃ as a base in toluene, 1,2-calix[10]crown-4 2a, 1,4-calix[10]crown-4 2b and 1,6-calix[10]crown-4 2c were obtained in yields of 9%, 14% and 7%, respectively. While using Cs₂CO₃/acetone instead of K₂CO₃/toluene, the 1,4-calix[10]crown-4 2b was obtained selectively in good yield up to 50%.     

2-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrroles: synthesis and reactions

The synthesis and reactions of methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate (1a) are described. Upon reaction with methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, or acetic anhydride, this compound gave N-substituted products 1b-d. By hydrolysis of compounds 1a-c, the corresponding acids 2a-c were formed, or by reaction with hydrazine-hydrate, the corresponding carbohydrazides 3a-c were formed. By heating 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenly]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (2a) in acetic anhydride, 4-acetyl-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (4) was formed. By hydrolysis of 4, 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole (5a) was formed, and reactions with methyl iodide or benzyl chloride gave N-substituted products 5b-c. The reaction of 4 with dimethyl butynedioate gave substituted benzo[b]furan 6. Compound 3a reacted with triethyl orthoesters giving 7a-c, which afforded with phosphorus (V) sulphide the corresponding thiones 8a-c. The thiones 8a-c reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form hydrazine derivatives 9a-c. The reaction of triethyl orthoformiate with compounds 9a-c led to furo[2′,3′: 4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazines 10a-c. Hydrazones 11a-c were formed from 3a-c and 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxaldehyde. The effect of microwave irradiation on some condensation reactions was compared with “classical” conditions. The results showed that microwave irradiation shortens the reaction time while affording comparable yields.

Transition metal phosphonates with pyridyl-based phosphonic acids: synthesis,characterization and luminescence properties

Two transiton metal phosphonates, Cd₂[OOCC₅H₃NPO₃H]₂·H₂O (1) and Zn[OOCC₅H₄NPO₃]·H₂O (2), were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that both have a 3-D framework. In 1, the asymmetric [Cd–NO₅] octahedron is connected to the [P–CO₃] tetrahedron through corner sharing and two neighboring [Cd–NO₅] octahedra are bridged via a mutual plane [O1–O2–O3]. Compound 2 has a scales-like multilayer structure viewing from b and c. [Zn–O₄] tetrahedra linked [P–CO₃] tetrahedra through corner O sharing. The thermogravimetric properties and luminescence spectra of 1 and 2 were investigated. Compound 2 emitted a purple-blue light upon 323 nm excitation. Above 100 nm, red shifts in both compounds make them candidates for luminescent materials.     

Study of the reactions of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine with nucleophilic reagents

The reactions of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine (4) with S-, C-, and N-nucleophiles afford stable s-adducts at position 10. In the base-catalyzed reactions of compound 4 with thiols, the resulting -complexes are rearranged into sulfides 14a—c. Sulfides 14b,c undergo the Thorpe—Ziegler cyclization to give 1-aminobenzo[b]thieno[2,3-h][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives 15a,b. The reaction of naphthyridine 4 with aniline affords a mixture of -adducts of the C—N and C—C types, while those with aliphatic amines yield 3-amino derivatives 17a—c. In the presence of H₂O₂, benzonaphthyridine 4 adds peroxycarboxylic acids to give compounds 8a,b. In alkaline medium, adduct 8a is rearranged into 4-aminopyridine-3-carbaldehyde derivative 10.     

Si3S-, Si3Se-, Si3Te-Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes and Si3S2-Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

The reaction of trisilirene 1 with propylene sulfide or elemental sulfur produced Si₃S-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 2, which underwent Si–Si insertion of a second S atom forming Si₃S₂-bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane 3. Analogous reactions of 1 with elemental Se or Te resulted in the formation of heavier analogues of 2, namely, Si₃Se-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 4 and Si₃Te-bicyclo[1.1.0]butane 5.

Functionalization of benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives

Two routes to consecutive functionalization of 3-chloro-4-cyanobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine (1a) at positions 3 and 10 were developed. Oxidation of compound 1a with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in acetone leads to 3-chloro-4-cyano-10-oxobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine, while in acetic acid, the reaction gives 3-chloro-4-cyano-10-(3-chlorobenzoyloxy)-5-hydroxy-5,10-dihydrobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine. The reactions of 1a with some C-nucleophiles give -adducts at position 10. The reactions of N,N-dimethylamide acetals with chloride 1a leads to 4-cyano-3-dimethylaminobenzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine.

The complexes [Bu₄N]₂⁺[PtBr₆]²⁻ (I), [Ph₄P]₂⁺[PtBr₆]²⁻ (II), and [Ph₃(n-Am)P]₂⁺ (III) are synthesized by the reactions of tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, and triphenyl(n-amyl)-tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, respectively, with potassium hexabromoplatinate (mole ratio 2: 1). After recrystallization from dimethyl sulfoxide, complexes I, II, and III transform into [Bu₄N]⁺[PtBr₅(DMSO)]⁻ (IV), [Ph₄P]⁺[PtBr₅(DMSO)]⁻ (V), and [Ph₃(n-Am)P]⁺[PtBr₅(DMSO)]⁻ (VI). According to the X-ray diffraction data, the cations of complexes IV–VI have a slightly distorted tetrahedral structure. The N-C and P-C bond lengths are 1.492(7)–1.533(6) and 1.782(10)–1.805(10) ?, respectively. The platinum atoms in the mononuclear anions are hexacoordinated. The dimethyl sulfoxide ligands are coordinated with the Pt atom through the sulfur atom (Pt-S 2.3280(18)–2.3389(11) ?). The Pt-Br bond lengths are 2.4330(6)–2.4724(6) ?.     

Direct Formation of Cycloadducts Between Fullerenes and Amino Acids Through Electron-Transfer Processes

Abstract

The reactions of [60]fullerene and amino acids in the absence of aldehyde in o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) at 150 °C have been investigated. Fulleropyrrolidines 1 [C₆₀(CH₂N(CH₃)CHC₆H₂(NO₂)₃)], 2 [C₆₀(CH₂N(CH₃)CH₂)], 3 [C₆₀(CH₂NHCH₂)], and 5a–b [C₆₀(RCHNHCHR), R?CH₃ (5a), R?CH₂Ph (5b)] were obtained in moderate yields from the reactions of C₆₀ and corresponding amino acids. The reaction of C₇₀ and N-methylglycine in the absence of aldehyde was also studied and was found to give the positional isomers of N-methyl[70]fulleropyrrolidines 6 (1,9-isomer) and 7(7,8-isomer). All products were fully characterized by ultraviolet–visible, Fourier transform–infrared (FT-IR), NMR, and mass spectrometry. The reactions were also carried out in the dark to exclude the possible interference of the photoinduced reactions, and almost the same yields of products were obtained.     

Azocalixarenes. 6: Synthesis, complexation, extraction and thermal behaviour of four new azocalix[4]arenes

Four new azocalix[4]arenes {5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (1), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-nitro phenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (2), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-amino-5-carboxylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (3) and 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulfonicacidnapthylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (4)} have been synthesized from p-tert-butylphenol, p-nitrophenol, p-aminobenzoic acid and 1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulphonic acid by diazo coupling reaction with p-aminocalix[4]arene. The resulting ligands (1–4) were treated with three transition metal salts (e.g., CuCl₂·2H₂O, NiCl₂·6H₂O or CoCl₂·6H₂O). Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of the azocalix[4]arene derivatives were obtained and characterized by UV-vis, IR, ¹H-NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. All the complexes have a metal:ligand ratio of 2:1. The Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are square-planar, while the Co(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are octahedral with water molecules as axial ligands. The solvent extraction of various transition metal cations from the aqueous phase to the organic phase was carried out by using azocalix[4]arenes (1–4). It was found that, azocalix[4]arenes 1, 2 and 3 examined selectivity for transition metal cations such as Ag⁺, Hg⁺ and Hg²⁺. In addition, the thermal stability of metal:azocalix[4]arene complexes were also reported. Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yılmaz on the occasion of his 50th birthday     

Synthesis and Properties of New Thiacalixarene Derivatives with Palladium Ion

Three new thiacalix[4]arene derivatives, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-di(2-hydroxyethoxy)-26,28-dihydroxythiacalix-{}[4]arene (2), 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-25, 26,27,28-tetrakis[(methylcarboxyl)methoxy]thiacalix[4]arene (3),5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(2-hydroxy-1-propanoxy)thiacalix[4]arene (4), were synthesized for the first time. The coordination properties of thiacalix[4]arene(1) and its derivatives (2 and 4) were investigated by detecting the interactions betweenthese compounds and two palladium complexes, cis-[Pd(en)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ and cis-[Pd(dtco-3-OH)(H₂O)₂]²⁺, by means of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) technique.     

One-Pot Synthesis and Fungicidal Activities of Derivatives of Imidazo [2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5(6H)-one

The isothiocyanates 2, obtained from aza-Wittig reactions of vinyliminophosphoranes 1 with CS ₂ , reacted with hydrazine to give 3-amino-2-thioxo-4-imidazolidinones 4. One-pot reactions of 4, aromatic isocyanates, Ph ₃ P, C ₂ Cl ₆ , and Et ₃ N generated imidazo[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5(6H)-ones 7. Compound 7 exhibited good fungicidal activities, especially against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum de Bary and Botrytis Cinerea Pers.     

New approaches to synthesis of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines

Thermal cyclization of 3-R-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazoles (R = Cl, Ph) afforded 2,6,10-tri-R- tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′,5′c:1″,5″-e][1,3,5]triazines 5 (R = Ph) and 7 (R = Cl). These compounds are first representatives of this class of heterocycles, whose structures were unambiguously established. Treatment of these compounds with nucleophiles (H₂O/NaOH, NH₃) results in the triazine ring opening to give compounds consisting of three 1,2,4-triazole rings linked in a chain. For example, treatment of cyclic compound 5 with aqueous alkali affords 3-phenyl-1-3-phenyl-1-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. Treatment of 3,7,11-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (2) with HCl/SbCl₅ leads to the triazine ring opening giving rise to 5-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-phenyl-4-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole. Thermal cyclization of the latter produces 3,7,10-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (13). Thermolysis of both cyclic compound 2 and cyclic compound 13 is accompanied by the Dimroth rearrangement to yield 3,6,10-triphenyl-tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′, 5′-c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (14). Compounds 13 and 14 are the first representatives of cyclic compounds with this skeleton. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy allows the determination of the isomer type in a series of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Two new Pb(II) coordination polymers derived from fatty dicarboxylates and phenanthroline derivatives: syntheses,structures, and properties

Two new Pb(II) coordination polymers, [Pb(3-pdip)(L₁)]?·?0.5H₂O (1) and [Pb(4-pdip)(L₂)] (2) [L₁?=?heptane diacid, L₂?=?hexane diacid, 3-pdip?=?2?-(3-pyridyl)imidazo[4,5-f]1,10-phenanthroline, 4-pdip?=?2?-(4-pyridyl)imidazo[4,5-f]1,10-phenanthroline], have been obtained from hydrothermal reactions of Pb(II) nitrate with two flexible fatty carboxylic acids and two phenanthroline derivatives. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 1 is a 1-D staircase-like double chain coordination polymer extended by binuclear [Pb₂N₄O₈] subunits and pairs of L₁ ligands. Compound 2 exhibits a 2-D (4,4) network based on bi-metallic [Pb₂N₆O₈] units and (L₂)₂/(4-pdip)₂ double linkers. Furthermore, adjacent chains of 1 and layers of 2 are extended into 3-D supramolecular networks by π–π stacking interactions between aromatic rings of phenanthroline groups. The organic carboxylic acids with different lengths show great influence on the shapes of Pb(II)-carboxylate double chains. Phenanthroline derivatives possessing different sites of N-donors (3-pyridyl and 4-pyridyl) determine the final coordination frameworks of 1 and 2. Photoluminescence and thermal stabilities of 1 and 2 were also investigated.     

Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry of Palladium(II) Quinolinylaminophosphonate Complexes

The mass spectrometric behavior of palladium(II) halide complexes of three types of quinolinylaminophosphonates, diethyl and dibutyl esters of [α-anilino-(quinolin-2-yl)methyl]phosphonic (L1, L2), [α-anilino-(quinolin-3-yl)methyl]phosphonic (L3, L4), and [α-(quinolin-3-ylamino)-N-benzyl]phosphonic acid (L5, L6), was investigated under positive ion electrospray ionization conditions. Each type of ligand forms complexes with different metal–ligand interactions. Mononuclear dihalide adducts cis-[Pd(L1/L2)X₂] (1–4) and trans-[Pd(L3/L4)₂X₂] (5–8) as well as dinuclear tetrahalide complexes [Pd₂(L5/L6)₃X₄] (9–12) (X = Cl, Br) are formed by metal bonding either through the quinoline or both the quinoline and amino nitrogen atoms. The sodiated molecule [M + Na]⁺ is observed in the mass spectra of all the complexes, and its abundance as well as the fragmentation pathway depend on the type of the complex. In the cis complexes (1–4) the initial decomposition goes under two fragmentation routes: those in which the sodium molecular adduct sequentially loses halides HX/NaX and those in which this loss is in the competition with the loss of dialkyl phosphite. The predominant pathways for decomposition of trans dihalide (5–8) and tetrahalide (9–12) complexes include three competitive reactions; the loss of halides, dialkyl phosphites and the intact phosphonate ligand molecule and its fragments formed by ester dissociation or complete loss of the phosphonate ester moiety. A series of acetonitrile adducts and cluster ions derived from dimolecular clusters [2M + Na]⁺ were also detected. The most important fragmentation patterns are rationalized and supported by the MS ⁿ studies.     

Metal ion-assisted assembly of one-dimensional polyrotaxanes incorporating cucurbit[6]uril

Three cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6])-based polyrotaxanes [Cu(H₂ C6N4)(CB[6])]Cl₄·12H₂O (1), [Co(H₂ C6N4)(CB[6])]Cl₄·14H₂O (2) and [Ag(C6N4)(CB[6])]NO₃·7H₂O (3) are prepared using N,N′-bis(4-pyridylmethyl)-1,6-hexanediamine (C6N4) threading into CB[6]'s and metal ions' assistance. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that polyrotaxanes 1, 2 and 3 all have 1D chain structure where 1 and 2 are linear and 3 has two shapes, linear and sawtooth, respectively. The effects of guest molecules, metal and counter ions as well as intermolecular weak interactions on the architectures of polyrotaxanes are discussed.
