SYNTHESIS AND COMPLEXATION OF A NOVEL SOLUBLE VIC-DIOXIME

Abstract

A new soluble vic-dioxime, l,4-bis(2-methoxyethyl-2, 3-bis(hydroxyimino)-5, 6-diphenylpiper-azine (LH₂) has been synthesized as a mixture of isomers from dicyan di-N-oxide and 1, 2-diphe-nyl-l,2-bis(2′-methoxyethylamino)ethane, 1, which has been prepared through the reduction of the condensation product of benzaldehyde and 2-methoxyethylamine with the aluminium amalgam. LH₂ gives N,N-coordinated planar metal complexes with Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Pd^II Oxidation of (LH)₂Co in the presence of a base such as py or triphenylphoshine leads to octahedral complexes (LH)₂Co(B)Cl. The uranyl complex of LH₂ has a 1 :1 metal-ligand ratio and a binuclear structure with μ-hydroxo bridges.     

VIBRATIONAL SPECTRA AND STRUCTURE OF ALKOXY AND CHLOROALKOXY DERIVATIVES OF ANTIMONY(V)

Abstract

Vibrational spectra of (CH₃O) _n SbCl_5–n . n = 1: 1; n = 2: 2: n = 3: 3: n = 4: 4; n = 5: 5; have been recorded. According to ir and Raman data 1–5 are centrosymmetrical bridged dimers. The Raman spectra of 3–5 exhibit v(Sb–O) doublets of terminal CH₃O at 530–541 and 550–570 cm^?1; vibrations of the 4-membered Sb₂O₂ ring, observed in the 500–517 cm^?1 region of the ir spectra of 1–5, are absent. The v(C–O) bands of bridged and terminal CH₃O are shifted to higher wave numbers (60 and 31 cm^?1, respectively) in the series 1 → 5. The stability of the dimers increases in the series 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 ? 5. At 100–120°C and in CH₃CN solutions dimers of 1–3 dissociate to monomers (v(Sb–O) 537–540 cm^?1, ir data). The monochloride, 4, is partially dissociated in CH₃CN. On solution of the tetrachloride, 1, in benzene a dimer-monomer equilibrium has been observed, with the dimeric form being predominant.

ON THE REARRANGEMENT OF N-ARYL SULFIMIDES

Abstract

N-Aryl-S,S-dialkylsulfimides, 1, with R¹ = alkyl other than CH₃, have been rearranged by heating in ethanol yielding o-alkylthiomethyl-anilines, 2, as main products. Isomeric o-methylthioalkyl-anilines, 14, are formed in minor amounts only. Reactions of sulfimides, 1, with R¹ = CH₃, with certain alkylating or acylating agents yielded o-methylthiomethylated, N-alkylated or -acylated products 9. Mechanistic considerations are discussed. The rearrangement of sulfimides 1 has been assumed to occur via [2,3]-sigmatropic reactions of intermediate azasulfonium ylids 3. Attempts to resolve (+)-camphor-10-sulfonates of N-aryl sulfimides failed, but optically active N-aryl sulfimides could be obtained by reaction of anilines with optically active sulfoxides and P₄O₁₀. Optically active 2,6-disubstituted sulfimides, 1, could be rearranged in ethanolic KOH to yield optically active cyclohexadienimines 12, indicating a transfer of asymmetry from sulfur to carbon and supporting the assumption of a sigmatropic rearrangement.     

GENERAL APPROACH TO THE SYNTHESIS OF SYMMETRICAL 1,3,2-DIAZAPHOSPHOCANES

Abstract

Synthesis of eight-membered phosphorus-nitrogen heterocycles has been performed by phosphocyclization of the corresponding diamines using different derivatives of phos horous acid. The structures of diazaphosphocanes were supported by elemental analysis; ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹PNMR spectroscopy; and x-ray diffraction analysis.     

THE ASSIGNMENT OF ACYCLIC STEREOISOMERS. 11. CONFORMATIONAL ANALYSIS OF 3-PHOSPHONYL-2- BENZOYLAMINOPROPIONIC ACID METHYL-ESTERS

Abstract

The conformational analysis of 3-phosphonyl-2-benzoylaminopropionic acid methyl esters, which occur as diastereomeric pairs of enantiomers owing to two present chiral centres, has been managed successfully by means of ³¹P, ¹³C, ¹H and ¹⁵N chemical shifts as well as the characteristically different coupling constants between the ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P nuclei. In this light, the diastereomers involved could be assigned readily.     

MICROWAVE ASSISTED SYNTHESIS OF SOME FUSED THIAZOLOPYRIMIDINES

A simple and fast synthesis of some fused thiazolopyrimidine compounds 2(a–g) in high yield has been developed using microwave assisted cyclocondensation reaction of 1 with chloroacetic acid, anhydrous sodium acetate, and corresponding aldehyde. Yields of products following recrystallization from ethanol were of the order of 88–94%. IR and ¹ H NMR spectrscopies and elemental analysis were used for identification of these compounds.     

PHOSPHORYL TO CARBONYL MIGRATION OF AMINO GROUPS IN MIXED ANHYDRIDES. REACTIVITY AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF N-METHYL-2-BENZOYLOXY-2-OXO-1,3,2-OXAZAPHOSPHORINANE

Abstract

Cyclic mixed anhydride, N-methyl-2-benzoyloxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane (1a) has been synthesised and the rate of its fragmentation involving nitrogen migration from phosphorus to carbonyl carbon has been measured. (1a) was found to be ca. 60 times less reactive than the non-cyclic, O-methyl-N,N-dimethyl analogue. The crystal and molecular structure of (1a) has been determined using x-ray diffraction. Pna2₁, a=22.229(6), b=7.597(2), c=7.210(2) Å; V=1217.6(6) ų. Final R=3.08% for 1037 reflections with I(rel) > 2[sgrave]I(rel) and 157 parameters. The observed conformation of the molecule of (1a) is very different from that required for the fragmentation to occur; in order to achieve the geometry postulated for the transition state significant rotations about the P[sbnd]O and O[sbnd]C bonds would be necessary and steric hindrance by the 4,6-axial hydrogens would be expected.

HYDROLYSIS OF POTASSIUM NITRILOSULFONATE DIHYDRATE

Abstract

Potassium nitrilosulfonate dihydrate, K₃N(SO₃)₃-2H₂O has been shown to hydrolyse in the solid state to imido-sulfonate, K₂NH(SO₃)₂, accompanied by formation of pyrosulfate. Pyrosulfate subsequently hydrolyzes to bisulfate. The hydrolysis has been followed by recording infrared spectra over the range 1100-500 cm^?1. The intermediate formation of S₂O^2/7 in the hydrolysis of N(SO₃)₃ ^?3 in aqueous solution has been detected and therefore the commonly accepted pathway for decomposition, which invokes formation of HSO^? ₄ in the first step, has to be modified.     

ULTRASONIC RELAXATION KINETICS OF PLANAR:OCTAHEDRAL EQUILIBRIA OF A NICKEL MACROCYCLIC COMPLEX

Abstract

The equilibrium between the diamagnetic, planar nickel(II) macrocyclic complex known as NiCR²⁺(CR is 2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetraazabicyclo[11.3.1]heptadeca-1(17),2, 11,13,15pentaene) and its paramagnetic, six-coordinate dimethanol adduct has been examined in methanol solution as the tetrafluoroborate salt. From the temperature dependence of the electronic absorption spectrum, thermodynamic parameters of ΔH°₄₆ = ?4.35 kcal mol^?1 and ΔS°₄₆ = ?8.72 cal deg^?1 mol^?1 were determined. From the excess ultrasonic absorption a relaxation frequency of 15 MHz was observed from which rate constants of k₄₆ of 8.6 × 10⁷ s^?1 and k₆₄ of 7.9 × 10⁶ s^?1 were calculated. The rate constant k₄₆ is nearly the same as the rate constant for solvent exchange which had previously been determined by NMR. This implies that the solvent exchange is effected by the octahedral-planar equilibrium and that a two-step mechanism with a five-coordinate intermediate can be eliminated.     

CHEMISTRY OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SULFUR COMPOUNDS

THE EFFECT OF BENZYL ALCOHOL ON THE MICELLAR PROPERTIES OF CTAB IN KBr SOLUTION

ABSTRACT

The effect of benzyl alcohol on the micellar size and shape of CTAB in KBr solution has been investigated by means of viscosity, LLS (laser light scattering), and NMR measurements. The surfactant CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and KBr content are kept constant at 0.01 mol.L^?1 and O.l^?1 mol.. The data from the various techniques are quantitatively in agreement. The viscosity of 0.01 mol.L^?1 CTAB/ 0.01mol.L^?1 KBr micellar system has a marked maximum at benzyl alcohol content 0.6%(v/v), where the size of rod micelles are largest. The results from 'H-NMR spectra of CTAB molecules show that before the maximum viscosity, benzyl alcohol is located in the interfacial region of CTAB micelles in the presence of KBr salt. If more benzyl alcohol is added, it starts solubilizing in the palisades of the micelles.     

Group 3 and lanthanide triflate-complexes with [N,N,O]-donor ligands: synthesis,characterization, and cytotoxic activity

Group 3 and rare-earth triflate-complexes M(OTf)₂(bdmpza) {M?=?Sc (1^Sc ), Y (1^Y ), La (1^La ), Sm (1^Sm ), Eu (1^Eu ) OTf?=?SO₃CF₃} bearing the heteroscorpionate ligand bdmpza {bdmpza?=?bis(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)acetate} have been synthesized and characterized, together with the yttrium and europium complexes M(OTf)(bdmpza)₂ {M?=?Y (2^Y ), Eu (2^Eu )}. The photoluminescent behavior of 2^Eu has been investigated. The coordination mode of the [N,N,O]-donor in these complexes has been elucidated by DFT calculations. The cytotoxic effect of selected complexes and of the free ligand toward HeLa cells has been evaluated.     

PYRIDINE DERIVATIVES AS COMPLEXING AGENTS X. THERMODYNAMICS OF COMPLEX FORMATION OF N,N'-BIS-(2-PYRIDYLMETHYL)-ETHYLENEDIAMINE AND OF TWO HIGHER HOMOLOGUES

Abstract

The complex formation of Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ with three amines of the type with n values from 2 to 4, has been investigated. The stability constants and the heats evolved by formation of the 1:1 complexes have been determined. The thermodynamic data are discussed in relation of the preferred stereochemistry of the cation and of the steric requirements of the ligands using also visible spectra of solutions, i.r. and reflection spectra of solid complex salts.     

SYNTHESIS AND CONFORMATIONAL STUDIES OF A NUMBER OF SATURATED BICYCLIC SIX-MEMBERED RING PHOSPHITES

Abstract

An ¹H NMR study of the conformation of the dioxaphosphorinane ring of a number of diastereoisomeric bicyclic saturated six-membered ring phosphites (3ab-10ab) has been performed. The dioxaphosphorinane ring of these phosphites is transannelated with a tetrahydrofuran, cyclopen-tane, tetrahydropyran or cyclohexane ring. The substituent on the phosphorus atom is a methoxy or phenoxy group. It is shown that the cis isomers 3a-10a prefer a chair conformation of the dioxaphosphorinane ring, independent of the substituent on the phosphorus atom and of the nature of the transannelated ring. In contrast, for the trans isomers 3b-10b a twist rather than a chair conformation of the dioxaphosphorinane ring is preferred. The fraction of the twist conformer in the trans isomers is mainly determined by the substituent on phosphorus. The size and composition of the transannelated ring are relatively unimportant in this respect. For both cis and trans isomers the preferred geometry is solvent-independent. The measured ^3JPOCH couplings of the cis isomers 3a-10a are used to formulate an expression for the dependence of such couplings upon dihedral angles in bicyclic phosphites.     

SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF Pd(II) COMPLEXES OF 1,2,3-TRIPHENYLGUANIDINE

Abstract

The formation of two complexes by reaction of [PdCl₄]^2- with 1,2,3-triphenylguanidine (PhNH)₂C=NPh under different metal/ligand ratios has been observed and the structure of the complex [(1,2,3-triphenylguanidine)₂PdCl₂] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The ligands are coordinated as neutral monodentate molecules to the metal centre through their imine nitrogen atoms. The second Pd(II) complex is [Pd(1,2,3-triphenylguanidine)₄]²⁺ and was isolated by precipitation with ClO^? ₄.     

THE CONFORMATION OF THIOPHENOL IN SOLUTION DETERMINED BY LIQUID CRYSTAL NMR SPECTROSCOPY

Abstract

It has been possible to obtain the proton NMR spectrum of thiophenol and 4-chlorothiophenol dissolved in the nematic phase of a liquid crystalline solvent. The computer iterated spectral analysis allowed the authors to determine the direct dipolar couplings that depend solely on the ratio of the interprotonic distances.¹     

Practical Synthesis of Sinigrin

Abstract

Sinigrin (1), the most commonly known glucosinolate, is a naturally occurring thiosugar, widely distributed in the botanic family Cruciferae. Sinigrin was first isolated in 1839 from seeds of black mustard in the form of its potassium salt.¹ Commercially available sinigrin is obtained by extraction from horseradish.² So far a number of natural glucosinolates and their analogs have been synthesized.^3-10 The only synthesis of compound 1, leading to a crystalline product on the miligram scale, has been reported by Benn and Ettlinger³ (Scheme 1). Their procedure has been applied by Kjaer and Jensen⁴ for the synthesis of the higher homologue of sinigrin (1), but no information of the overall yield has been provided.
