Synthesis,Characterization, and Structure of Some Silicon Containing Diorganotin(IV) Complexes of Salicylaldehyde Thiosemicarbazones

Abstract

Four diorganotin(IV) complexes, bis[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]tin salicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazonate monohydrate(1), bis[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]tin 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazonate (2), bis[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]tin 5-tert-butyl-3-methylsalicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazonate (3), and bis[(trimethylsilyl)methyl]tin 2-oxylnaphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazonate (4) have been synthesized by reactions of (Me₃SiCH₂)₂SnCl₂ with the corresponding semicarbazone. The four complexes were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The X-ray studies of compounds 1 and 4 showed that the thiosemicarbazone ligands act as tridentate ligands chelating to the central tin atoms, and thus the tin atoms were five coordinated in trigonal bipyramidal geometry for both compounds.

Structural characterisation of trimethylsilyl-protected DNA bases

The structures of the silylated DNA bases, bis(trimethylsilyl)thymine (1), bis(trimethylsilyl)cytosine (2), bis(trimethylsilyl)adenine (3) and tris(trimethylsilyl)guanine (4), have been determined. 1 is O-silylated and displays no intermolecular interactions. 2 is silylated at both exocylic O, N positions and forms a chain structure through intermolecular NH…O and NH…N hydrogen bonds. 3 contains two SiMe₃ groups, on the exocylic NH and endocyclic N⁹ position, respectively; of two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, one dimerises through complementary NH…N hydrogen bonds, while the other forms a strained intramolecular hydrogen bond through the same pair of donor and acceptor centres. 4 incorporates N, N, O–SiMe₃ moieties and forms chains via bifurcated CH…O/N hydrogen bonds, while the NH function remains unexploited. The effects of silylation on these pyrimidine and purine ring structures are also discussed in comparison with the native bases.

The structures of the silylated DNA bases, bis-(trimethylsilyl)thymine (1), bis-(trimethylsilyl)cytosine (2), bis-(trimethylsilyl)adenine (3) and tris-(trimethylsilyl)guanine (4), have been determined. While 1 displays no intermolecular interactions. 2 forms a chain structure through intermolecular NH…O and NH…N hydrogen bonds, 3 incorporates two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, one dimerises through complementary NH…N hydrogen bonds while the other forms a strained intramolecular hydrogen bond through the same pair of donor and acceptor centres and 4 forms chains via bifurcated CH…O/N hydrogen bonds while the NH function remains unexploited.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF THE FIRST DISULFUR AND DISELENIUM COMPLEXES OF PLATINUM

The reactions of overcrowded platinum(0) complexes [Pt{P(Ar)Me₂}₂] (Ar = 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl (Tbt), 2,6-bis[bis- (trimethylsilyl)methyl]-4-[tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl (Bbt)) with elemental sulfur and selenium resulted in the formation of the first platinum disulfur and diselenium complexes, [Pt(S₂){P(Ar)Me₂}₂] (4a (Ar = Tbt), 4b (Ar = Bbt) and [Pt(Se₂){P(Ar)Me₂}₂] (5a (Ar = Tbt), 5b (Ar = Bbt)) respectively. The x-ray crystallographic analyses of 4b and 5b showed a novel three-membered PtE₂ (E = S, Se) ring structure with a square planar geometry around the platinum center. The oxidation of 4b and 5b with an equimolar amount of m-chloroperbenzoic acid or tert-butyl hydroperoxide in dichloromethane yielded the corresponding disulfur and diselenium monoxide complexes [Pt(E₂O){P(Bbt)Me₂}₂] (6 (E = S), 7 (E = Se)). The further reactions of 6 and 7 with an excess of oxidants gave the corresponding O,S-coordinated thiosulfato complex [Pt(S₂ O₃){P(Bbt)Me₂}₂] (8) and the O,O-coordinated selenito complex [Pt(SeO₃){P(Bbt)Me₂}₂] (11), respectively. The dynamic behavior in solution was revealed by the variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy for 4b, 5b, 8, and 11, which indicates the existence of the intramolecular CH···E (E = O, S, Se) interactions between the methine hydrogens of the o-bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl groups and the Pt-bonded chalcogen atoms.

REACTION DES ENOLATES MASQUES DE SILICIUM ISSUS WESTERS DE TRIMETHYLSILYLE AVEC LES DERIVES CARBONYLES α,β-INSATURES

Abstract

Bis(trimethylsilyl) ketene acetals RCH[dbnd]C[OSi(CH₃)₃]₂ 1 add to PhCH[dbnd]CH[sbnd]COR¹ 2 in the presence of catalytic amounts (10%) of TiCl₄ leading, in good to excellent yields to the corresponding β-hydroxy or δ-ketoacids. Under kinetic control, the regioselectivity of the reaction markedly depends on the nature of R and R¹. Mixtures of 1,2 and 1,4 products are formed in some of the cases; in others, solely Michael or aldol adducts are obtained. On the contrary, the stereoselectivity, which ranges from zero to moderate, is slightly influenced by R and R¹.

It is also shown that trimethylsilyl ester of α-trimethylacetic acid (CH₃)₃SiCH₂CO₂Si(CH₃)₃ 5 add to 2 in the presence of TBAF (10%) in THF.     

Reactivity of molecules with nitrogen-containing functional groups toward H+ and SiMe3 + ions

The equilibrium constants of trimethylsilyl cation transfer reactions differ from those of proton transfer reactions by many orders of magnitude. The basicity of MeCN (1), MeNO₂ (2), and Et₂NH (3) in the gas phase decreases in the series3≫1>2, whereas the affinity of the same compounds for trimethylsilyl cation decreases in the series1≫3≈2. Semiempirical quantum-chemical MNDO calculations indicate that the formation of MeCN·SiMe₃ ⁺ ions is thermodynamically more favorable than that of MeNH₂·SiMe₃ ⁺ ions.

Synthetic Studies on Sialoglycoconjugates 90: Total Synthesis of Sulfated Glucuronyl Paraglobosides

ABSTRACT

3-O-Sulfo glucuronyl paragloboside derivatives (pentasaccharides) have been synthesized. The important intermediate designed for a facile sulfation in the last step and effective, stereocontrolled glycosidation, methyl (4-O-acetyl-2-O-benzoyl-3-O-levulinoyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate)uronate (8) was prepared from methyl [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl β-D-glucopyranosid]uronate (3) via selective 4-O-acetylation, 2-O-benzoylation, 3-O-levulinoylation, removal of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group and imidate formation. The glycosylation of 8 with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (9) using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate gave 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(methyl 4-O-acetyl-2-O-benzoyl-3-O-levulinoyl-β-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-(1→3)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (10), which was transformed via removal of the benzyl group, benzoylation, removal of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group and imidate formation into the disaccharide donor 13. On the other hand, 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→3)-O-(2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (20) as the acceptor was prepared from 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (14) via O-acetylation, removal of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group, imidate formation, coupling with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (18), removal of the O-acetyl and N-phthaloyl group followed by N-acetylation. Condensation of 13 with 20 using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate afforded the desired pentasaccharide 21, which was transformed by removal of the benzyl group, O-acetylation, removal of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group and imidate formation into the pentasaccharide donor 24. Glycosylation of (2S,3R,4E)-2-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-octadecene-1,3-diol (25) with 24 gave the desired β-glycoside 26, which was transformed into the four target compounds, via reduction of the azido group, coupling with octadecanoic acid or tetracosanoic acid, selective removal of the levulinoyl group, O-sulfation, hydrolysis of the methyl ester group and O-deacylation.

Synthetic Studies on Sialoglycoconjugates 44: Synthesis of KDN-Gangliosides Gm4 and GM3

Abstract

Ganglioside GM₄ and GM₃ analogs, containing 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosonic acid (KDN) in place of N-acetylneuraminic acid, have been synthesized. KDN, prepared by the condensation of oxalacetic acid with D-mannose, was converted into methyl (phenyl 4,5,7,8,9-penta-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosid)onate (2) via methyl esterification, O-acetylation and replacement of the anomeric acetoxy group with phenyl thio. Glycosylation of 2 with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 6-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (3) or 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(6-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2,6-di-O-benzoyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) was performed, using N-iodosuccinimide-trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as the glycosyl promoter, to give 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(methyl 4,5,7,8,9-penta-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate)-(2→3)-6-O-benzoyl-β-D-galacto-pyranoside (5) and 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(methyl 4,5,7,8,9-penta-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate)-(2→3)-(6-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyrano-syl)-(l→4)-(2,6-di-O-benzoyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (9), respectively. Compounds 5 and 9 were converted via O-acetylation, selective removal of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group and subsequent imidate formation, into the corresponding trichloroacetimidates 8 and 12, respectively. Glycosylation of (2S,3R,4E)-2-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-octadecene-l,3-diol (13) with 8 and 12 in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate afforded the expected β-glycosides 14 and 17, which were transformed via selective reduction of the azido group, coupling with octadecanoic acid, O-deacylation and de-esterification, into the target gangliosides 16 and 19 in high yields.

Sonogashira coupling of (E)-α-iodovinylsilanes 1 with (trimethylsilyl)-acetylene gave (Z)-1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)alk-3-en-1-ynes 2, which underwent a desilylation reaction to afford (Z)-3-(trimethylsilyl)alk-3-en-1-ynes 3 in good yields. (1E,3Z)-1-Arylseleno-3-(trimethylsilyl)-substituted 1,3-dienes 5 could be synthesized stereoselectively via hydrozirconation of (Z)-3-(trimethylsilyl)alk-3-en-1-ynes 3, followed by trapping with arylselenenyl bromides.

Synthesis of a Single Repeat Unit of Type VIII Group B Streptococcus Capsular Polysaccharide 1

Abstract

We have synthesized a single repeat unit of type VIII Group B Streptococcus capsular polysaccharide, the structure of which is {L-Rhap(β1→4)-D-Glcp(β1→4)[Neu5Ac(α2→3)]-D-Galp(β→4)}_n. The synthesis presented three significant synthetic challenges namely: the L-Rhap(β→4)-D-Glcp bond, the Neu5Ac(α2→3)-D-Galp bond and 3,4-D-Galp branching. The L-Rhap bond was constructed in 60% yield (α:β 1:1.2) using 4-O-acetyl-2,3-di-O-benzoyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl bromide 6 as donor, silver silicate as promotor and 6-O-benzyl-2,3-di-O-benzoyl-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranoside as acceptor to yield disaccharide 18. The Neu5Ac(α2→3) linkage was synthesized in 66% yield using methyl [phenyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulopyranosid]onate as donor and triol 2-(trimethylsilyl) ethyl 6-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside as acceptor to give disaccharide 21. The 3,4-D-Galp branching was achieved by regioselective glycosylation of disaccharide diol 21 by disaccharide 18 in 28% yield to give protected tetrasaccharide 22. Tetrasaccharide 22 was deprotected to give as its 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl glycoside the title compound 1a. In addition the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group was cleaved and the tetrasaccharide coupled by glycosylation (via tetrasaccharide trichloroacetimidate) to a linker suitable for conjugation.

Silica Chloride (SiO2-Cl) and Trimethylsilyl Chloride (TMSCl) Promote Facile and Efficient Dehydration of Tertiary Alcohols

Abstract

Silica chloride (SiO₂-Cl), as a heterogeneous reagent, has been used for the efficient dehydration of tertiary alcohols under mild reaction conditions. For comparison, we have also used trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) as a homogeneous reagent for this purpose. We have found that silica chloride is a more efficient reagnet than trimethylsilyl chloride for this purpose. Handling of SiO₂-Cl is much safer and easier than TMSCl, especially for large-scale operation. The selectivity of the method is also demonstrated by several competitive reactions. Ether formation, rearranged products, and polymerization have not been observed in the reactions.

Interaction of 2-methyl-2,5-dioxo-1,2-oxaphospholane with trimethylsilyl cyanide

The reaction of 2-methyl-2,5-dioxo-1,2-oxaphospholane (1) with trimethylsilyl cyanide was found to give, depending on conditions, three organophosphorus compounds: trimethylsilyl methyl(2-cyanocarbonylethyl)phosphinate (2), trimethylsilyl methyl(3-trimethylsiloxy-3,3-dicyanopropyl)phosphinate (3) and trimethylsilyl methyl(3-trimethyl-siloxy-3-cyano-2-propenyl)phosphinate (4), On hydrolysis of3 under mild conditions, methyl(3-hydroxy-3,3 dicarboxypropyl)phosphinic acid (7) was obtained. The latter is readily decarboxylated on heating to give methyl(3-hydroxy-3-carboxy-propyl)phosphinic acid (8). The interaction of2 and4 with water or alcohols gives, correspondingly, methyl[2-carboxy(alkoxycarbonyl) ethyl]phosphinic acids (11–13). Methyl(2-oxamoyiethyl)phosphinic acid (14) was prepared by successive treatment of propenylphosphinate4 with HCl gas and water.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 170–177, January, 1993.
