Structure-activity relationships for the 9-(pyridin-2'-yl)- aminoacridines

A series of 9-(pyridin-2'-yl)-aminoacridines was prepared and analyzed for their ability to change the thermal denaturation temperature of genomic calf thymus DNA. Development of a QSAR equation indicated that electron withdrawing groups on the pyridine ring promoted the interaction with double stranded DNA.     

NaCu(II)4] cluster from alkali template assembly of two asymmetric end-on azido-bridged [Cu(II)2] units

The cluster [NaCu4L2(N3)2](ClO4) [1; H3L is 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis[3'-aza-4'-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)prop-4'-en-1'-yl]-1,3-imidazolidine] has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 is formed by the template assembly of two [Cu2L(N3)] neutral fragments through their weak oxophilic interactions with a central Na+ cation as observed in metallacrowns. The cluster exhibits a combination of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions. End-on N3- bridging of copper ions within the [Cu(II)2] units facilitates stabilization of S = 1 magnetic subunits that mutually cancel via antiferromagnetic coupling as mediated by the O...Na+...O bridges.     

Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2-catalyzed oxidative heterodimerization reaction of 2,3-allenamides and 1,2-allenyl ketones: an efficient synthesis of 4-(furan-3'-yl)-2(5H)-furanimines

The Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative heterodimerization reaction of 2,3-allenamides and 1,2-allenyl ketones was studied. It provides an efficient route for the synthesis of the polysubstituted 4-(furan-3'-yl)-2(5H)-furanimines, which are not readily available from the known methods. Due to the application of benzoquinone, the loadings of both the palladium catalyst and ketone have been greatly reduced for the oxidative heterodimerization of 2,3-allenamides and 1,2-allenyl ketones in acetic acid.     

Synthesis of 2-(4'-methyl-1',3'-imidazolidon-1'-yl)-sym-triazines

N-Cyano-N-allylamino-sym-triazines, which were synthesized by the reaction of allyl bromide and the potassium salts of cyanoamino-sym-triazines, were converted to 2-(4'-methyl-1',3'-imidazolidon-1'-yl)-sym-triazines by the action of hydrogen peroxide in an alkaline medium. A similar transformation occurred in hydrochloric acid or under the influence of hydrogen chloride in alcohol. The structures of the products were confirmed by IR and mass-spectral data and alternative synthesis.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 847–850, June, 1984.     

PdCl2-catalyzed two-component cross-coupling cyclization of 2,3-allenoic acids with 2,3-allenols. An efficient synthesis of 4-(1',3'-dien-2'-yl)-2(5H)-furanone derivatives

Cross-coupling cyclization reaction between 2,3-allenoic acids 1 and 2,3-allenols 2, in which two allenes functioned differently, was realized to afford 4-(1',3'-dien-2'-yl)-2(5H)-furanone derivatives 3. The reaction may proceed via an oxypalladation, insertion, and beta-hydroxide elimination process. A high E-stereoselectivity of the new formed C=C double bond was observed.     

Synthesis and E/Z configuration determination of novel derivatives of 3-aryl-2-(benzothiazol-2'-ylthio) acrylonitrile, 3-(benzothiazol-2'-ylthio)-4-(furan-2'-yl)-3-buten-2-one and 2-(1-(furan-2'-yl)-3'-oxobut-1'-en-2-ylthio)-3-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one

Knoevenagel condensation of 2-(benzothiazol-2-ylthio) acetonitrile (2) with either furan-2-carbaldehyde or thiophene-2-carbaldehydes leads to E-isomers 4a-b exclusively, while the condensation of the compound 2 with benzaldehyde or para-substituted benzaldehydes with an electron-donating group afforded E/Z mixtures 4c-e with preferentially formation of the E-isomer. Condensation of furan-2-carbaldehyde (3a) with either 1-(benzothiazol-2'-ylthio) propan-2-one (5) or 2-(2'-oxo propylthio)-3-phenyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (9) leads exclusively to the Z-isomers of 6 and 10, respectively. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOE, MS and X-ray crystallographic investigations.     

PdCl2/NaI-catalyzed homodimeric coupling-cyclization reaction of 2,3-allenols: an efficient synthesis of 4-(1',3'-dien-2'-yl)-2,5-dihydrofuran derivatives

A PdCl2/NaI-catalyzed homodimeric coupling-cyclization reaction of 2,3-allenols was observed to provide an efficient route to 4-(1',3'-dien-2'-yl)-2,5-dihydrofuran derivatives. By using the easily available optically active starting materials, 2,5-dihydrofurans with high enantiopurity may be prepared. A Pd(II)-catalyzed mechanism was also discussed.     

酰氨基硫脲及相关杂环衍生物的研究XXIX: 2-(3'-溴苯胺基)-5-[5'-氨基-1'-(4"-氯苯基)-1',2',3'-三唑-4'-基]-1,3,4-噻二唑的晶体结构

Hydrolysis of 2',3'-O-methyleneadenos-5'-yl bis(2',5'-di-O-methylurid-3'-yl) phosphate, a sugar O-alkylated trinucleoside 3',3',5'-monophosphate: implications for the mechanism of large ribozymes

Hydrolytic reactions of 2',3'-O-methyleneadenos-5'-yl bis(2',5'-di-O-methylurid-3'-yl) phosphate (1), a sugar O-alkylated trinucleoside 3',3',5'-monophosphate, have been followed by RP HPLC over a wide pH range. Under neutral and mildly acidic conditions, the only reaction observed was a pH-independent cleavage of the O-C5' bond of the 5'-linked nucleoside. Under more alkaline conditions nucleophilic attack by hydroxide ion starts to compete. The reaction is first order in [OH(-)] and becomes predominant at pH 10. Each of the 3'-linked nucleosides is displaced 2.9 times as readily as the 5'-linked one. To determine the beta(lg) value for the hydroxide ion catalyzed hydrolysis of 1, two diesters (2a,b) having 2',3'-O-methyleneadenosine (7) and 2',5'-di-O-methyluridine (4) as leaving groups were hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions. Since the beta(lg) value for this reaction is known, DeltapK(a) between 4 and 7 could be calculated. The beta(lg) for the hydrolysis of 1 was estimated to be -0.5 with use of this information. The mechanisms of the partial reactions and the role of leaving group properties in ribozyme reactions of large ribozymes are discussed.     

PdI2-catalyzed coupling-cyclization reactions involving two different 2,3-allenols: an efficient synthesis of 4-(1',3'-dien-2'-yl)-2,5-dihydrofuran derivatives

Transition-metal-catalyzed dimeric coupling-cyclization reactions of two different 2,3-allenols afforded 4-(1',3'-dien-2'-yl)-2,5-dihydrofuran derivatives 3. 2-Substituted 2,3-allenols 1 cyclized to form the 2,5-dihydrofuran ring, whereas the 2-unsubstituted 2,3-allenols 2 provided the 1,3-diene unit at the 4-position. The reaction is proposed to proceed through an oxypalladation, insertion, and beta-hydroxide elimination process. The C=C double bond was formed with high E stereoselectivity by beta-hydroxide elimination.     

Hydrolytic stability of 2',3'-O-methyleneadenos-5'-yl 2',5'-di-O-methylurid-3'-yl 5'-O-methylurid-3'(2')-yl phosphate: implications to feasibility of existence of phosphate-branched RNA under physiological conditions

Hydrolytic reactions of 2',3'-O-methyleneadenos-5'-yl 2',5'-di-O-methylurid-3'-yl 5'-O-methylurid-3'(2')-yl phosphate (1a,b) have been followed by RP-HPLC over a wide pH range to evaluate the feasibility of occurrence of phosphate-branched RNA under physiological conditions. At pH <2, where the decomposition of is first order in [H3O+], the P-O5' bond is cleaved 1.5 times as rapidly as the P-O3' bond. Under these conditions, the reaction probably proceeds by an attack of the 2'-OH on the phosphotriester monocation. Over a relatively wide range from pH 2 to 5, the hydrolysis is pH-independent, referring to rapid initial deprotonation of the attacking 2'-OH followed by general acid catalyzed departure of the leaving nucleoside. The P-O5' bond is cleaved 3 times as rapidly as the P-O3' bond. At pH 6, the reaction becomes first order in [HO-], consistent with an attack of the 2'-oxyanion on neutral phosphate. The product distribution is gradually inversed: in 10 mmol L(-1) aqueous sodium hydroxide, cleavage of the P-O3' bond is favored over P-O5' by a factor of 7.3. The results of the present study suggest that the half-life for the cleavage of under physiological conditions is only 100 s. Even at pH 2, where is most stable, the half-life for its cleavage is less than one hour and the isomerization between and is even more rapid than cleavage. The mechanisms of the partial reactions are discussed.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4-(2-Methylene-1-ethyl-3,3-dimethylindoline-2'-yl)-6,8-dibromo- 1'-ethyl-3',3'-dimethylspiro-[3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-indoline]

The title compound of 4-(2-methylene-1-ethyl-3,3-dimethylindoline-2'-yl)-6,8-dibro-mo-1'- ethyl-3',3'-dimethylspiro[3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-indoline],C33H36Br2N2O,as a dicondensed spiropyran (DC) has been synthesized by indoline in ethanol with 3,5-dibromo-salicyaldehyde.The compound was characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra.Meanwhile,the crystal of the compound was obtained and determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.Crystal data: monoclinic system,space group P21/n,a=12.9699(15),b=12.5196(13),c=19.327(2) (A),β=106.493(3)°,Mr=636.46,V= 3009.1(6) (A)3,Z=4,F(000)=1304,Dc=1.405 g/cm3,μ=2.722 mm-1,R=0.0554 and wR=0.1176 for 6892 independent reflections (Rint=0.0354) and 5699 observed reflections (I>2σ(I)).     

Hydrolysis of 2',3'-O-methyleneadenosin-5'-yl bis-5'-O-methyluridin-3'-yl phosphate: the 2'-hydroxy group stabilizes the phosphorane intermediate, not the departing 3'-oxyanion, by hydrogen bonding

Hydrolytic reactions of 2',3'-O-methyleneadenosin-5'-yl bis-5'-O-methyluridin-3'-yl phosphate (1a) have been followed by RP HPLC over a wide pH range to elucidate the role of the 2'-OH group as an intermolecular hydrogen bond donor facilitating the cleavage of 1a. At pH < 2, where the decomposition of 1 is first-order in hydronium-ion concentration, the P-O5' and P-O3' bonds are cleaved equally rapidly. Over a relatively wide range from pH 2 to 4, the hydrolysis is pH-independent and the P-O5' bond is cleaved 1.6 times as rapidly as the P-O3' bond. At pH 6, the reaction becomes first-order in hydroxide-ion concentration and cleavage of the P-O3' bond starts to predominate, accounting for 89% of the overall hydrolysis in 10 mmol L(-)(1) aqueous sodium hydroxide. Under alkaline conditions, the 2'-OH group facilitates the cleavage of 1 by a factor of 27 compared to the 2'-OMe counterpart, the influence on the P-O3' and P-O5' bond cleavage being equal. Accordingly, the 2'-hydroxy group stabilizes the phosphorane intermediate, not the departing 3'-oxyanion, by hydrogen bonding.     

Ru(II) complexes of tetradentate ligands related to 2,9-di(pyrid-2'-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline

A series of 1,10-phenanthrolines were prepared having additional ligating substituents at the 2,9-positions. These substituents were either a 4-substituted pyrid-2-yl, quinolin-2-yl, 1,8-naphthyrid-2-yl, N-methyl imidazo-2-yl, or N-methyl benzimidazo-2-yl group. Additionally, 3,6-di-(pyrid-2'-yl)-dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine was prepared. All but two of these ligands coordinated Ru(II) in a tetradentate equatorial fashion with two 4-methylpyridines bound in the axial sites. An X-ray structure analysis of the diimidazoyl system indicates considerable distortion from square planar geometry in the equatorial plane. Previously reported variations in the axial ligand for such complexes appear to have a stronger effect on the electronic absorption and redox properties of the system than similar changes in the equatorial ligand. In the presence of excess Ce(IV) as a sacrificial oxidant at pH 1, all the systems examined catalyze the decomposition of water to generate oxygen. Turnover numbers are modest, ranging from 146 to 416.

Reaction of Barbituric, 2-Thiobarbituric Acids and Their Derivatives with 2-Carboxybenzaldehyde and Opianic Acid: Synthesis and Tautomerism of 5-(3'-Oxo-1',3'-dihydroisobenzofuran-1'-yl)barbituric Acids and Their 2-Thio Analogs

The reaction of barbituric, N-alkylbarbituric acids, and their 2-thio analogs with carboxybenzaldehyde and 2-carboxy-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde leads to the formation of the corresponding 5-(3'-oxo-1',3'-dihydroisobenzofuran-1'-yl)barbituric and 2-thiobarbituric acids, the structures of which were studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. In DMSO the derivatives of barbituric acid exist in the form of mixtures of the ketone and enol tautomers, while their 2-thio analogs exist in the enol form. In chloroform the tautomeric equilibrium is displaced fully toward the ketone form.     

Preparation and study of 1,8-di(pyrid-2'-yl)carbazoles

A series of three derivatives of 1,8-di(pyrid-2'-yl)carbazole were prepared by Stille-type coupling of 2-(tri-n-butylstannyl)pyridine with the appropriate 1,8-dibromocarbazole. The carbazoles were prepared by appropriate substitution methodologies on the parent carbazole or by palladium-catalyzed cyclization of di-(p-tolyl)amine to provide the carbazole ring system. An X-ray structure of the di-tert-butyl derivative confirmed that both pyridyl groups were oriented for favorable intramolecular H-bonding to the central N-H. Two orientations of the molecule were found in the unit cell and this observation was corroborated by two N-H stretching bands in the solid state IR. Substitution of N-H by N-D led to increased emission intensity through diminished intramolecular deactivation of the excited state. The di-tert-butyl derivative formed a tridentate complex with Pd(II), which showed a red-shifted band attributed to an intraligand charge transfer state.
