PHOSPHORORGANISCHE VERBINDUNGEN 851 SYNTHESE UND ANWENDUNG OPTISCH AKTIVER TERTIÄRER PHOSPHINE ALS CO-KATALYSATOREN DER HOMOGENHYDRIERUNG MIT RHODIUM-PHOSPHIN-KOMPLEXEN

Abstract

Die Darstellung der optisch aktiven Methyl-n-propyl(bzw.-isopropyl)arylphosphine 1 bis 8 wird beschrieben. Hierbei ist Aryl: p-Methoxyphenyl (1 und 2), p-Dimethylaminophenyl (3 und 4), o-Methoxyphenyl (5 und 6), o-Dimethyl-aminophenyl (7) und o-Aminophenyl (8).

Die Phosphine 1 bis 8 werden als optisch aktive Co-Katalysatoren bei der Homogenhydrierung von α- und ß-Methylzimtsäureethylester, der α-Acetaminoacrylsäure und der α-Acetaminozimtsäure mit Rhodium-Phosphinkomplexen eingesetzt und jeweils die optische Induktion bestimmt. Folgende Ergebnisse (Vgl. die Tabellen 1 bis 4) wurden erhalten:

1) Die CH₃O-Gruppe und N(CH₃)₂-Gruppe verändern unabhängig von ihrer Stellung die optische Induktion bei der Homogenhydrierung von α- und ß-Methylzimtsäureethylester nur unwesentlich im Vergleich zu den entsprechenden Methyl-n-propyl (bzw.-isopropyl)-phenylphosphinen.

2) Bei der Homogenhy drierung von α-Acetaminoacrylsäure und α-Acetaminozimtsäure üben para-ständige OCH₃- und (CH₃)₂N-Gruppen in den optisch aktiven Co-Katalysatoren (Verbindungen 1 bis 4) keinen Einfluß auf die Höhe der optischen Induktion aus.

3) In ortho-Stellung verknüpfte OCH₃- und (CH₃)₂N-Gruppen (Verbindungen 5 bis 7) führen jedoch bei der Homogenhydrierung von α-Acetaminoacrylsäure und α-Acetaminozimtsäure zu einer beachtlichen Erhöhung der optischen Induktion. Bei α-Acetaminozimtsäure und 7 als Co-Katalysator beträgt die optische Induktion 80%! Hierbei übertrifft die (CH₃)₂N-Gruppe die CH₃O-Gruppe an Wirksamkeit.

4) Methyl-n-propyl-o-aminophenylphosphin 8 ist als Co-Katalysator unbrauchbar, da es offenbar durch Wechsel-wirkung der NH₂-Gruppe mit Rhodium die Koordinierung des prochiralen Olefins mit dem Komplex unterdrückt.

5) Eine experimentell begründete Deutung für das Zusammenwirken der am Aufbau der Homogenkatalysatoren beteiligten Komponenten konnte nicht gegeben werden.

Tabelle 5 zeigt die Abhängigkeit der Hydriergeschwindigkeit von Art und Stellung der Substituenten im Phenylrest. Die Hydriergeschwindigkeit ist bei den induktionsstarken Co-Katalysatoren 5 bis 7 deutlich vermindert.

The preparation of the optically active methyl-n-propyl(isopropy) aryl phosphines 1 ± 8 is described, whereby the aryl group is p-methoxyphenyl (1, 2), p-dimethylaminophenyl (3, 4), o-methoxyphenyl (5, 6), o-dimethylaminophenyl (7) and o-aminophenyl (8).

The phosphines 1–8 were used as chiral co-catalysts at the rhodium complex in the homogeneous hydrogenation of α- and ß-methyl cinnamic acids, α-acetaminoacrylic acid and α-acetaminocinnamic acid. The optical induction in the products was measured. The following results (see Tables 1–4) were obtained:

1) The methoxy and dimethylamino groups, independent of their site, have only negligible influence on the optical yield in the reduction of α- and ß-methylcinnamic acids compared with the parent methyl-propylphenylphosphine.

2) In the hydrogenation of acetaminoacrylic acid and α-acetaminocinnamic acid, para methoxy- or dimethylamino groups (compounds 1–4) show likewise no special influence on the optical yield.

3) Ortho methoxy or dimethylamino groups (compounds 5–7), however, result in a measurable increase in optical yield in the reduction of α-acetaminoacrylic- and α-acetaminocinnamic acids. In the case of compound 7 with α-acetaminocinnamic acid, an optical purity of 80% was obtained! The dimethylamino group is in this case more effective than the methoxy group.     

Betulinic acid derivatives: a new class of α-glucosidase inhibitors and LPS-stimulated nitric oxide production inhibition on mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells

Chemical manipulation studies were conducted on betulinic acid (1), twenty-one new rationally designed analogues of 1 with modifications at C-28 were synthesized for their evaluation of inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and LPS-stimulated nitric oxide production in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Compound 2 (IC₅₀ = 5.4 μM) exhibited an almost 1.4-fold increase in α-glucosidase inhibitory activity on yeast α-glucosidase while analogues 5 (IC₅₀ 16.4 μM) and 11 (IC₅₀ 16.6 μM) exhibited a 2-fold enhanced inhibitory activity on NO-production than betulinic acid.     

Living Cationic Polymerization of α-Methylstyrene. 2. Synthesis of Block and Random Copolymers with 2-Chloroethyl Vinyl Ether and End-Functionauzed Polymers†

Abstract

Both AB and BA block copolymers of α-methylstyrene (αMeSt) and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (CEVE) were synthesized by the sequential living cationic polymerization initiated with the HCl-CEVE adduct (1a)/SnBr₄ system in CH₂Cl₂ at -78°C. αMeSt-CEVE (AB) block copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions ([Mbar]_w/[Mbar]_n ～ 1.15) were obtained when αMeSt was polymerized first, followed by addition of CEVE to the resulting αMeSt living polymer solution. The reverse order of monomer addition, from CEVE to αMeSt, also led to a BA-type block copolymer. In the polymerization of a mixture of the two monomers, almost random copolymers were obtained. Living polymerizations of αMeSt were also induced with functional initiating systems, HCl-functionalized vinyl ether adducts (1b-1d)/SnBr₄, to give end-function-alized poly(αMeSt)s with a methacrylate, an acetate, or a phthalimide terminal.     

Solid and solution chemistry of protonated and deprotonated mononuclear molybdenum(VI) citrates

Mononuclear molybdenum(VI) citrates with variable degrees of protonation, (NH₄)₂[MoO₂(H₂cit)₂]·H₂O (1), (NH₄)₃[MoO₂(H₂cit)(Hcit)]·H₂O (2) and (NH₄)₅[MoO₂(Hcit)(cit)]·2.5H₂O (3) (H₄cit = citric acid), have been well characterized, where the citrate ligands in 1–3 coordinate bidentate with Mo, while the free carboxylates form very strong hydrogen bonds with α-alkoxy and β-carboxylic acid groups. The chelation of α-alkoxy and α-carboxy groups in citrate are compared with that of FeMo-cofactor in NifV^– Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase. Solution ¹³C NMR spectra show that 1–3 dissociated partly in D₂O. The equilibria are calculated based on ¹H NMR spectra in solution.     

Section C—Heterocyclic Compounds

Abstract

Carbonyl stretching frequencies and apparent molar absorptivities are reported for some α-(alkylthio)-acetates, -propionate and -isobutyrate, in the fundamental and 1st overtone regions and compared to those for the corresponding unsubstituted esters. The I.R. data for α-(alkylthio)-esters indicate the cis-gauche rotational isomerism. Both the unusual solvent effect and the Avco frequency shifts for the title compounds indicate that the cis rotamers arc less polar than the gauche ones. The gauche rotamer (G₁) for the a-(ethylthio)-propionate corresponds to the gauche rotamer (G) for the α-(ethylthio)-acetate while the more crowded gauche rotamer (G₂′) for the a-(ethylthio)-isobutyrate corresponds to the gauche rotamer (G₂) for the α-(ethylthio)-propionate. The larger Δμ_CO values for the cis (C) and gauche (G₂′) rotamers of α-(ethylthio)-isobutyrate in comparison to the cis (C) and gauche (G₁) rotamers of the α-(ethylthio)-propionate are explained in terms of variation in the α-carbonyl angle, changes in mechanical coupling and hybridization. Charge transfer from |Gp_CO to 3d_(s orbitals and |Gp_CO/σ_C-S hyperconjugative interaction are also invoked to explain the obtained results.     

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of ethanol extract,fractions and purified compounds from the wood of Albizia myriophylla

Albizia myriophylla Benth. is a medicinal herb which is used as a traditional remedy for various ailments including diabetes in Thailand. In our continued investigation of the biological activity of A. myriophylla, the ethanol extract, fractions and the isolated compounds from the wood of this plant were evaluated for in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition using spectrophotometric method. The plant ethanol extract and its different fractions possessed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Dichloromethane fraction of the wood ethanol extract exhibited the highest percent inhibition against α-glucosidase (69.30%) among all fractions. Subsequent α-glucosidase inhibition assay proved that indenoic acid (1), 8-methoxy-7, 3′,4′-trihydroxyflavone (2) and 3,4,7,3′-tetrahydroxyflavan (3) were partially rational for antidiabetic effect of this plant species. Among these compounds, 3 (IC₅₀ 98.59 μg/mL) exhibited potent inhibition of α-glucosidase, compared with a positive control acarbose (IC₅₀ 125 μg/mL). The inhibitory effect towards α-glucosidase of compounds 1–3 was reported herein for the first time.     

A new α-keggin unit coordinated to two cobalt complex moieties {PMoVI 11MovO40[Co(TATP)2(H2O)]2}·4H2O

A new α-Keggin unit supported transition metal complex, {PMo^VI ₁₁Mo^VO₄₀ [Co(TATP)₂(H₂0)]₂}?·?4H₂O (1) (TATP?=?1,4,8,9-tetranitrogen-trisphene), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-Ray analysis showed that the two [Co(TATP)₂(H₂O)] units are covalently bonded to the α-Keggin unit [PMo^VI ₁₁Mo^V04o]^4? via the terminal oxygen atoms. 1 represents the α-Keggin type polyoxoanion coordinated with two transition metal complex moieties, which further acts as a neutral molecular unit to construct an interesting 3D supramolecualr framework.

Regioselective reaction of (Z)-dimethyl α-(bromomethyl) fumarate 2 with bulky secondary amines in ether as solvent at room temperature, leads exclusively to the rearranged substitution α-(functional alkyl amino) acrylic esters 4a-i in high yields. The less and more bulky amine gives rise respectively to the two successive (S_N2′) and (S_N2) substitution derivatives 5j,k and 51.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of α-aminophosphonates with sterically demanding α-aryl substituents

Abstract

A series of N-benzhydryl protected α-aminophosphonates with α-phenyl, α-(1-naphtyl), α-(9-anthryl) or α-(1-pyrenyl) substituents was synthesized by the Kabachnik–Fields condensation of diphenylmethylamine (benzhydrylamine), the corresponding aryl aldehyde and a dialkyl phosphite under MW irradiation. X-ray studies performed at low temperatures for a few of these α-aminophosphonates confirmed the presence of unusually short intramolecular C_α–H^δ+ ··· ^δ+H–C_peri contacts.     

Synthesis and magnetic characterization of Ln(III)–Co(II) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline ligands

Four heteronuclear complexes, [Ln₂Co₂L₁₀(H₂O)(phen)₂] · n(H₂O) (Ln = La 1, n = 2; Ln = Nd 2, Sm 3, Gd 4, n = 0; HL = α-methylacrylic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray diffraction. The complexes with a discrete Co–Ln–Ln–Co tetranuclear molecule are isomorphous in the triclinic space group P 1 and Z = 1, in which all metal ions are bridged by bidentate α-methylacrylato groups. Magnetic measurements of 1, 2 and 3 show antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between paramagnetic centers.

Identification of the inclusion complexation between phenyl β-d-(13C6)glucopyranoside and α-cyclodextrin using 2D 1H or 13C DOSY spectrum

This study describes the 2D ¹H and ¹³C diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) experiments using the mixed sample of α-cyclodextrin (α-CyD) and phenyl β-d-(¹³C₆)glucopyranoside (1). Both the 2D ¹H and ¹³C DOSY spectra showed the component with a diffusion coefficient different from those of α-CyD and 1, which suggested the inclusion complexation of α-CyD with 1.

Abstract

Several cobalt(III) complexes incorporating 2,2′-diaminobiphenyl(dabp) and other 2(2N)- or 4N-type ligands were prepared and resolved by chemical and chromatographic methods: (1) [Co(en)₂(dabp)]Cl₂2H₂O, (2) [Co(l-pn)₂(dabp)] (ClO₄)₃4H₂O, (3) [Co(l-chxn)₂(dabp)](ClO₄)₃3H₂O, (4) α-[Co(trien)(dabp)](ClO₄)₃, (5) α-[Co(2S,9S-dimetrien)(dabp)] (ClO₄)₃ 2H₂O, (6) α-[Co(3S,8S-dimetrien)(dabp)] (ClO₄)₃3H₂O, (7 [Co(tren)(dabp)]Cl₃5H₂O, (8) [Co(bpy)₂(dabp)] Cl₃3H₂O. The complexes (1), (4) and (8) gave one pair of enantiomers, Δ(Λ) and Λ(δ), and the complexes (2) and (3) gave only one Δ-isomer. The absolute configuration of the complexes (5) and (6) was found to be Λ, and that of (7) was not determined because of unsuccessful resolution. The three geometric isomers of the complex (2) were separated and their structures assigned.

Synthesis,characterization, and hypoglycemic efficacy of nitro and amino acridines and 4-phenylquinoline on starch hydrolyzing compounds: an in silico and in vitro study

α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase are important therapeutic targets for type II diabetes. The present focus of our study is to elucidate the hypoglycemic activity of novel compounds through in vitro and in silico studies. Here, we synthesized the nitro acridines (3a–3c), amino acridines (4a–4c), and nitro phenylquinoline (3d) and amino phenylquinoline (4d) using a multi-step reaction protocol in good yields. All the above derivatives were screened for molecular docking, α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase inhibitory activities utilizing acarbose as standard drug. In silico studies were performed to explore the binding ability of compounds with the active site of α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase enzymes. The in vitro antihyperglycemic report of 3c exhibits the maximum inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ values of 200.61?±?9.71 μmol/mL and 197.76?±?8.22 μmol/mL against α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase, respectively. Similarly, the compound 3a exhibits IC₅₀ values of 243.78?±?13.25 μmol/mL and 296.57?±?10.66 μmol/mL, and 4c exhibits IC₅₀ values of 304.28?±?3.51 μmol/mL and 278.86?±?3.24 μmol/mL with a significant p?<?0.05 in both enzyme inhibitions. In addition, the presence of diverse functional moieties in synthesized compounds may provide a strong inhibitory action against the abovementioned enzymes compared with standard acarbose inhibition (IC₅₀, 58.74?±?3.68 μmol/mL and 49.39?±?4.94 μmol/mL). Also, the docking studies provided an excellent support for our in vitro studies. The outcome of these studies recommends that the tested compounds might be treated as potential inhibitors for the starch hydrolyzing enzymes in type II diabetes.

Simultaneous Determination of Associated α- and Glucoamiuse Using Cross-Linked Amylose

Abstract

The method described consists in the simultaneous determination of the action of the amylolytic preparations containing the associated α- and glucoamylase, upon native amylose (a substrate for both α- and glucoamylase) and upon cross-linked amylose (a substrate for α-amylase). In order to know the percentage of α- and glucoamylase respectively of the total amylolytic activity, the fallowing relations are proposed: %α = 2.31 A_x/A. 100 and % glucoamylase = 100 - %α, where A and A_x are the hydrolytic activity of the amylolytic preparation on nonmodified amylose and on cross-linked amylose respectively, The present method has an error of no more than 11%.
