Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxic activity of diorganotin complexes with Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and l-tyrosine

Seven diorganotin complexes with the Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde and l-tyrosine, R₂Sn[2-O-5-XC₆H₃CH?=?NCH(CH₂C₆ H₄OH-4)COO] (X?=?H (1), Br (2); R?=?Me (a), Et (b), Bu (c), Cy (cyclohexyl) (d)), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In methanol, the racemization of chiral center of l-tyrosinate fragment occurred and the racemic products were obtained. X-ray analyses of 1c, 1d, and 2a–2c showed that the tin atoms of the complexes exhibit distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometries. In 1c, 1d, and 2c, the intermolecular O–H???O hydrogen bonds connected the molecules into 1-D supramolecular chain or a R₂²(20) macrocyclic dimer, and 2a and 2b formed the 2-D supramolecular network by the intermolecular Sn???O and O–H???O interactions. Bioassay results indicated that 1a, 1c, and 1d had moderate antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and 1c, 1d, and 2c belonged to the efficient cytostatic agents against two human tumor cell lines (A549 and HeLa) and the activity tends to follow the order Cy > Bu?>?Et?>?Me for the R group attached to tin.     

The Stereoselective Synthesis of Conjugated Allylsilanes

2-trimethylsilylethylidenetriphenylphosphorane (5) (Seyferth–Wittig reagent) reacts stereoselectively with the carbonyl compounds 6a–f to give the conjugated allylsilanes 7a–f, each as a mixture of E-and Z-isomers. The stereoselectivity of reactions of E-cinnamaldehyde (6c) with 5 has been investigated at different temperatures. A successful E-stereoselective synthesis of 7c was achieved by reacting 5 with E-cinnamaldehyde (6c) under the conditions of a Wittig–Schlosser modification reaction. Structures of the allylsilanes 7a–f were deduced by compatible analytical and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and GC/MS) measurements. An assignment of the E:Z ratios of 7a–f is based on their ¹H NMR spectral data.     

Synthesis of spirooxindoles promoted by the deep eutectic solvent,ZnCl2+urea via the pseudo four-component reaction: anticancer,antioxidant, and molecular docking studies

Abstract

Various spirooxindoles (7a–c, 8a–c, 9a–c, and 10a–c) were efficiently synthesized using deep eutectic solvent ZnCl₂+urea and well characterized using IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The biological screening results showed that the compound 9a exhibited potent anticancer activity against MCF7 and HeLa cell lines with IC₅₀ values 6.47?±?0.01 and 9.14?±?0.32?µM, respectively. The compound 7c exhibited potent activity against the HeLa cell line with IC₅₀ value 6.81?±?0.01?µM. The compound 9a exhibited a potent antioxidant activity with IC₅₀ value 7.34?±?0.17?µM. The comparative molecular docking study against the cancer proteins EGFR and HER2 revealed that the EGFR was the best target protein receptor for the target compounds. Among all the compounds, the compound 9a exhibited the least binding energy ?10.72?kcal/mol against the protein EGFR (PDB ID: 4HJO).     

SYNTHESIS AND REACTVITY OF N-[N-PHOSPHORAMIDO-1H-BENZIMIDAZOL-2-YL] IMIDATES

N-(-1H-Benzimidazol-2-yl) imidates 1a–c react with chlorophosphoramide to give the N-[-1-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylphosphoramidoyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-imidates 2a–c or with dichlorophosphoramide to yield the bis[(N-1-benzimidazol-2-yl)-imidate] phosphoramide derivatives 3a–b. The reaction of compounds 2a–c toward primary amines is studied. The obtained amidine derivatives 4a–b were unambiguously characterized by different spectroscopic techniques (IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR, and in some cases MS).     

Ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes of P,P and P,O donor diphosphine ligands,Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 and Ph2P(CH2)nP(O)Ph2, n = 2, 3 and their activities in catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions

The polymeric precursor [RuCl₂(CO)₂]_n reacts with the ligands, P∩P (a, b) and P∩O (c, d), in 1:1 M ratio to generate six-coordinate complexes [RuCl₂(CO)₂(?²-P∩P)] (1a, 1b) and [RuCl₂(CO)₂(?²-P∩O)] (1c, 1d), where P∩P: Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh₂, n = 2(a), 3(b); P∩O: Ph₂P(CH₂)_nP(O)Ph₂, n = 2(c), 3(d). The complexes are characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectrometry, thermal studies, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. 1a–1d are active in catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone and its derivatives to corresponding alcohols with turnover frequency (TOF) of 75–290 h^?1. The complexes exhibit higher yield of hydrogenation products than catalyzed by RuCl₃ itself. Among 1a–1d, the Ru(II) complexes of bidentate phosphine (1a, 1b) show higher efficiency than their monoxide analogs (1c, 1d). However, the recycling experiments with the catalysts for hydrogenation of 4-nitroacetophenone exhibit a different trend in which the catalytic activities of 1a, 1b, and 1d decrease considerably, while 1c shows similar activity during the second run.     

Design,synthesis, and antimicrobial activity of fluorophore 1,2,3-triazoles linked nicotinonitrile derivatives

The synthesis and investigation of fluorescence and antimicrobial properties of a new series of 1,2,3-triazoles were described. Acetylenes 4a–c were resulted via alkylation of 2-oxonicotinonitriles 3a–c with propargyl bromide in base medium. [2?+?3] cycloaddition of acetylenes 4a–c with ethyl 2-azidoacetate, p-acetylphenylazide, and p-tolylsulfonylazide in the presence of Cu(I) afforded 1,2,3-triazoles 5a–c, 7a–c, and 9, respectively (via click reaction). The triazoles 5a–c were subjected to saponification process to give the acids 6a–c. The fluorescence and antimicrobial properties of triazoles 5a–c, 7a–c, and 9 were investigated and significant results were obtained.     

New Look into the Synthesis of Polyhalogenoarylphosphanes

The present study shows new aspects of the synthesis of polyhalogenoarylphosphanes. The sterically hindered anions Ph(R)P-Y^? (1a–c, Y = O, lone pair; R = Ph, Bu^t) have been used to show the complexity of the reaction between phosphorus nucleophiles and hexahalogenobenzenes or 9-bromofluorene (E3). The Ph(Bu^t)P-O^? (1a) anion reacts with hexachlorobenzene (E1), hexafluorobenzene (E2), or E3 to give Ph(R)P(O)X (4a–c, X = F, Cl, Br) with the release of the corresponding carbanion as a nucleofuge, followed by side reactions. In contrast, the lithium phosphides Ph(R)PLi (1b,c) react with hexahalogenobenzenes to give the corresponding diphosphanes 5a,b as the main product and traces of P-arylated products, i.e., Ph(R)P-C₆X₅ (10a,b, X = Cl, F). Unexpectedly, Ph(Bu^t)PLi (1b) reacts with an excess of 9-bromofluorene to give only halogenophosphane Ph(Bu^t)P-X.     

Experimental and computational studies of the binding properties of lower rim tetra- and di-substituted calix[4]arene amide derivatives with metal ions

Abstract

Experimental and theoretical binding studies of representative alkali, alkaline earth, transition, heavy metal and lanthanide cations by tetra- and di-substituted calix[4]arene amide derivatives (diethyl amide 1a–c and morpholide amide 2a–c) in the cone conformation were carried out. Binding was assessed by extraction experiments of the metal picrates from water to dichloromethane and proton NMR titrations. Density functional theory calculations were also performed to determine the binding energy of the complexes formed and to analyse the host–guest interaction modes. In the cases of ligands 1b and 2c with Na⁺ and Ag⁺ picrates, the extraction energy was also determined using the polarisable continuum model. The results are discussed in terms of the nature of the amide residue and the substitution pattern (1,3 vs. 1,2). Both tetra-amide derivatives are good extractants, showing preference for Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Ag⁺ and Pb²⁺ cations, mainly di-ethylamide 1a. Concerning di-amide derivatives, the relative position of the substituents seems to be more important than the nature of the amide group in the extraction process. Proton NMR studies indicate the formation of 1:1 complexes between the amides and the cations studied, and DFT data show that all ligands form the most stable complexes with La³⁺.     

Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Some Novel Thiazolyl-Pyrazoline Derivatives Containing 1,2,3-Triazole Moiety

Abstract

A series of novel 3-aryl-5-(2-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1-(4-aryl-2-thiazoyl)-pyrazolines 6a–6r were synthesized using 2-aryl-4-formyl-1,2,3-triazoles 1a,b as the starting materials. Thus, reacting 1a,b with 1-arylethanones 2a–2c gave 1-aryl-3-(2-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2-propen-1-ones 3a–3f. The reaction of the latter with thiosemicarbazide afforded 3-aryl-5-(2-aryl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1-thiocarbamoyl-pyrazolines 4a–4f, which condensed with 2-bromo-1-arylethanones 5a–5c to afford the target compounds 6a–6r. The chemical structures of the compounds were verified by means of their IR, ¹H NMR, ESI-MS spectroscopic data, and elemental analysis.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT     

Unusual structurally characterized pyridine carbinoxide copper(II) coordination compounds,isolated from organic solvents

The coordination behavior of pyridine carbinoxide [NC₅H₄(CH₂O)-2 or OPy] with copper in organic solvents was crystallographically determined. Initial attempts to generate the Cu(II) OPy derivatives from an alcoholysis exchange of Cu(OCH₃)₂, with H–OPy in toluene, led to the isolation of [Cu(µ_c-OPy)(O^cPy)]₂ (1, “c” indicates chelation). The square-based pyramidal geometries noted for each Cu center resulted from one O^cPy and two µ_c-OPy ligands, generating an unusual C_i symmetry. From the reaction of H–OPy and the Cu(I) species Cu(C₆H₂(CH₃)₃-2,4,6), mononuclear Cu(II) complex Cu(O^cPy)₂(H–OPy)₂ (2) was isolated. Compound 2 is unusual in that it adopts a square planar arrangement around the Cu metal center using two O^cPy ligands; however, the metal center also coordinates with two H–OPy molecules forming an octahedral geometry. Upon dissolution in water, both 1 and 2 react to form the previously reported Cu(O^cPy)₂ · 2H₂O (3). Attempts to add a Lewis base through dissolution of 1 in selected solvents (i.e., tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, 1-methylimidazole) led to [Cu(µ_c-OPy)(O^cPy)]₂ · H₂O (4), which possesses a C ₂ symmetry. The water was believed to be extracted from the “dry” solvents. A Cl derivative was also solved for the Cu(II)/Cu(I) species [Cu(OPy)₂]₂[CuCl(H–OPy)₂]₂ (5) from tetrahydrofuran dried over apparently contaminated sieves.     

A Convenient One-Pot Synthesis of Some New 3-(2-Phenyl-6-(2-thienyl)-4-pyridyl)hydroquinolin-2-ones Under Microwave Irradiation and Their Antimicrobial Activities

A series of 3-(2-phenyl-6-(2-thienyl)-4-pyridyl)hydroquinolin-2-ones 4a–o were synthesized in high yields by a one–pot cyclocondensation reaction under Kröhnke's reaction conditions using 2-chloro-3-formyl quinoline 1a–c, 2-acetyl thiophene 2, and various N-phenacylpyridinium bromides 3a–e in a mixture of ammonium acetate and acetic acid by microwave irradiation. All the compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectral analysis. These compounds have been screened for their antimicrobial activities.

Pyridine-2(1H)-thione in Heterocyclic Synthesis: Synthesis of Some New Nicotinic Acid Ester,Thieno[2, 3-b]pyridine,Pyrido[3′, 2′: 4, 5]thieno [3, 2-d]pyrimidine,and Thiazolylpyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine Derivatives

Nicotinic acid esters 3a–c were prepared by the reaction of pyridine-2(1H)-thione derivative 1 with α-halo-reagents 2a–c. Compounds 3a–c underwent cyclization to the corresponding thieno[2, 3-b]pyridines 4a–c via boiling in ethanol/piperidine solution. Compounds 4a–c condensed with dimethylformamide-dimethylacetal (DMF-DMA) to afford 3-{[(N,N-dimethylamino)methylene]amino}thieno[2, 3-b]- pyridine derivatives 6a–c. Moreover, compounds 4a–c and 6a–c reacted with different reagents and afforded the pyrido[3′,2′:4, 5]thieno[3, 2-d]pyrimidine derivatives 10a–d, 11a–c, 12a,b, 14a,b, 17, and 19. In addition, pyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine derivative 20 (formed via the reaction of 1 with hydrazine hydrate) reacted with ethylisothiocyanate yielded the thiourea derivative 21. Compound 21 reacted with α-halocarbonyl compounds to give the 3-[(3H-thiazol-2-ylidene)amino]-1H-pyrazolo[3, 4-b]pyridine derivatives 23a–c, 25, and 27a,b.     

THE NOVEL MACROCYCLIC AND LINEAR-CHAIN THIOETHERS FROM PERCHLOROBUTADIENE AND DITHIOLES

Compounds 3a–c, 4a, b, 5a–c, and 6a, c were obtained from the reactions of perchlorobutadiene (1) with 1,4-butanedithiol (2a), 1,5-pentanethiol (2b), and 2.2′-(ethlene-dioxyl)diethanethiol (2c) in ethanol in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Compounds 7a, b were obtained from the reactions of thioethers 3a, b with m-chlorperbenzoic acid in CHCl ₃ .     

Synthesis of 2-D graphite-like and 3-D diamond-like silver(I) polymers with 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione

Two metal–organic coordination polymers, [Ag₂(imdt)₃(OAc)₂] _n (1) (imdt = 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione, OAc = CH₃COO^?) and [Ag(imdt)Cl] _n (2), were synthesized under similar conditions by using Et₃N (triethylamine) as buffering agent. X-ray diffraction shows that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, C2 /c space group, a = 13.822(5) Å, b = 9.082(3) Å, c = 16.965(6) Å, V = 2114.2(14) ų, Z = 8, D _c = 2.012 g cm^?3. Compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, P2₁2₁2₁ space group, a = 7.993(6) Å, b = 7.993(6) Å, c = 10.548(7) Å, V = 673.9(7) ų, Z = 4, D _c = 2.419 g cm^?3. Both 1 and 2 exhibit different architectures due to their different anions. Compound 1 shows a 2-D graphite-like network structure and 2 shows a 3-D diamond-like network structure.     

Synthesis and physiochemical studies on binuclear Cu(II) complexes derived from 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-4-substituted phenols

Preparation of the ligands HL¹ = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-ethylphenol; HL² = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-methoxyphenol and HL³ = 2,6-[(N-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]-p-nitrophenol are described together with their Cu(II) complexes with different bridging units. The exogenous bridges incorporated into the complexes are: hydroxo [Cu₂L(OH)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂.H₂O (L¹=1a, L² =1b, L³ =1c), acetato [Cu₂L(OAc)₂]ClO₄.H₂O (L¹ =2a, L² =2b, L³ =2c) and nitrito [Cu₂L¹(NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]ClO₄.H₂O (L¹=3a, L² =3b, L³ =3c). Complexes1a,1b,1c and2a,2b,2c contain bridging exogenous groups, while3a,3b,3c possess only open μ-phenolate structures. Both the ligands and complexes were characterized by spectral studies. Cyclic voltammetric investigation of these complexes revealed that the reaction process involves two successive quasireversible one-electron steps at different potentials. The first reduction potential is sensitive to electronic effects of the substituents at the aromatic ring of the ligand system, shifting to positive potentials when the substituents are replaced by more electrophilic groups. EPR studies indicate very weak interaction between the two copper atoms. Various covalency parameters have been calculated.     

NOVEL N,S-SUBSTITUTED DIENES BY THE REACTION OF 2-NITROTHIOSUBSTITUTED HALODIENES AND PRIMARY AMINES

Mono(thio)substituted 1a–c gave compounds 3a–c and 5a with o-toluidin (2) and m-toluidin (4) in ether. Compounds 9a–c and 11a, b were obtained from the reaction of compounds 1a–c with p-fluorophenylamine (8) and p-fluorobenzylamine (10). Compounds 7a and 15c were obtained from the reaction of 1a and 1c with p-phenylendiamine (6) and o-phenylendiamine (14). Compound 13c was synthesized from the reaction of compound 1c with benzidine (2).     

Synthesis and Cation-Binding Properties of (1→6)-2,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol with 3,4-Di-O-Pentyl and Decyl Groups by Cyclopolymerization of 1,2:5,6-Dianhydro-D-mannitols

Abstract

The cyclopolymerizations of 1,2:5,6-dianhydro-3,4-di-O-pentyl-D-mannitol (1b) and 1,2:5,6-dianhydro-3,4-di-O-decyl-D-mannitol (1c) were carried out using BF₃OEt₂ and t-BuOK. All the resulting polymers consisted of cyclic constitutional units, i.e., the extent of cyclization was 100%. The polymer structures for the polymerization with t-BuOK were (1→6)-2,5-anhydro-3,4-di-O-pentyl-D-glucitol (2b) and (1→6)-2,5-anhydro-3,4-di-O-decyl-D-glucitol (2c), whereas those with BF₃O-decyl₂ comprised 2,5-anhydro-D-glucitols as major units along with other cyclic ones. These polymers were soluble in n-hexane, CHCl₃, and THF, but insoluble in water, which differs from the amphiphilic solubility of (1→6)-2,5-anhydro-3,4-di-O-methyl-D-glucitol (2a). The cation-binding properties of 2b and 2c were examined using alkali-metal picrates in order to compare them with those of 2a. The extraction yields for each cation decreased in the order of 2c < 2b < 2a. Every polymer exhibited a similar cation-binding selectivity in the order Cs⁺ > Rb⁺ > K⁺ ? Na⁺ > Li⁺. The ratio of K⁺ and Na⁺, K⁺/Na⁺, was 4.6 for 2a, 5.1 for 2b, and 7.1 for 2c in the increasing order 2a < 2b > 2c.     

Preparation,crystal structures and properties of half-sandwich ruthenium complexes containing salicylbenzoxazole ligands

Three half-sandwich ruthenium complexes [Ru(p-cymene)LCl] containing salicylbenzoxazole ligands [LH = 2-(5-methyl-benzoxazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-phenol (2a), LH = 2-(5-methyl-benzoxazol-2-yl)-4-chloro-phenol (2b), and LH = 2-(5-methyl-benzoxazol-2-yl)-4-bromo-phenol (2c)] were synthesized and characterized. All half-sandwich ruthenium complexes were fully characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, MS, elemental analyses, and UV–vis as well as cyclic voltammetry (CV). The molecular structures of 2a, 2b, and 2c were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray structures show that the synthesized ruthenium complexes are three-legged piano-stools with a six-membered metallocycle formed by coordination of the bidentate salicylbenzoxazole ligands to the metal centers. Data from CV and UV–vis absorption of the ruthenium complexes indicated that by changing the substituent on the para position of (donating or withdraw group) the salicylbenzoxazole ligands, minor changes in redox and electronic properties of the ruthenium complexes were observed.     

Alkynylhalocarbenes. 4. Generation of (alk-1-ynyl)halocarbenes from 3-substituted 1,1,1,3-tetrahalopropanes under the action of bases

When treated with KOH under phase-transfer catalysis or with Bu^tOK, 3-substituted (alkyl or phenyl) 1,1,3-tribromo-1-fluoropropanes 1a—c exclusively generate previously unknown (alk-1-ynyl)fluorocarbenes 5a—c, which react with olefins to give 1-(alk-1-ynyl)-1-fluorocyclopropanes 6a—h in 12—69% yields. Under analogous conditions, 3-alkyl- and 3-aryl-3-bromo-1,1,1-trichloropropanes 2a—c selectively afford (alk-1-ynyl)chlorocarbenes 7a—c, which are trapped by olefins to form the corresponding 1-(alk-1-ynyl)-1-chlorocyclopropanes 8a—k in 35—70% yields. (Phenylethynyl)chlorocarbene 7a is also selectively generated from 1,1,1,3-tetrachloro-3-phenylpropane (3a) upon its treatment with Bu^tOK. With an excess of 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene or 2-methylpropene, carbene 7a yields 1-chloro-1-(phenylethynyl)cyclopropanes 8a or 8c, respectively. In contrast, 1,1,1,3-tetrachloroheptane 3b and 3-alkyl- and 3-phenyl-1,1,1,3-tetrabromopropanes 4a,c,f react with bases in the presence of olefins to give, along with the corresponding 1-(alk-1-ynyl)-1-halocyclopropanes 8a,c,d and 11a—f, vinylidenecyclopropanes 12a,c—g, which suggests the generation, under these conditions, both (alk-1-ynyl)halocarbenes 7b and 9a—c and vinylidenecarbenes 10 and 11a—c. The composition and structures of intermediate products in the reactions of tetrahalides 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b with Bu^tOK were determined and the mechanisms for carbene generation in these reactions were proposed.     

Highly soluble Ni(II) vic-dioxime complexes containing branched thioether with alkyl chains of different lengths: synthesis and characterization

vic-Dioxime ligands (LH₂) containing branched alkylthioether chains of different length have been prepared from (E,E)-dichloroglyoxime and corresponding thiol derivatives. Mononuclear Ni(II) complexes (5a–5c) were synthesized in ethanol by reacting NiCl₂ · 6H₂O with new ligands (4a–4c) in the presence of KOH. Branched alkylthioether moieties appended at the periphery of the oxime provide solubility for the vic-dioxime complexes in common organic solvents. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, and ESI-Mass spectrometry. While 5a and 5b are solid at room temperature, 5c is obtained as an orange viscous liquid. The thermal stabilities of the complexes were determined by thermogravimetric analysis.
