Parallel synthesis of a library of benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles using ligand-accelerated copper-catalyzed cyclizations of ortho-halobenzanilides

A general method for the formation of benzoxazoles via a copper-catalyzed cyclization of ortho-haloanilides is reported. This approach complements the more commonly used strategies for benzoxazole formation which require 2-aminophenols as substrates. The reaction involves an intramolecular C-O cross-coupling of the ortho-haloanilides and is believed to proceed via an oxidative insertion/reductive elimination pathway through a Cu(I)/Cu(III) manifold. The reaction is also applicable to the formation of benzothiazoles. A variety of ligands including 1,10-phenanthroline and N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine were shown to provide ligand acceleration/stabilization in the reaction. Optimal conditions for cyclization used a catalyst combination of CuI and 1,10-phenanthroline (10 mol %). The method was amenable to a parallel-synthesis approach, as demonstrated by the synthesis of a library of benzoxazoles and benzothiazoles substituted at various positions in the ring. Most examples utilized the cyclization of ortho-bromoanilides, but ortho-iodoanilides and ortho-chloroanilides also undergo a reaction under these conditions. The rate of reaction of the ortho-haloanilides follows the order I > Br > Cl, consistent with oxidative addition being the rate-determining step.

A new trend in the synergistic extraction of rare-earth(III) complexes with various β-diketones and 1,10-phenanthroline

The synergistic extraction of rare-earth (RE) [La(III), Sm(III), Tb(III) and Lu(III)] complexes, with three β-diketones (HA) [hexafluoroacetylacetone (Hhfa), pivaloyl-trifluoroacetone (Hpta) and benzoylacetone] in the presence of a bidentate ligand (S), 1,10-phenanthroline, in benzene was investigated. The general composition of the adducts formed is expressed as RE(A)₃S. RE(A)₃(S)₂ is also observed in La-Hhfa, La-Hpta and Sm-Hhfa systems. The adduct formation contains β_s,1 and β_s,2 and the synergistic extraction constants K_ex,s,1 were determined. The trend of these constants is discussed in terms of the RE(III), β-diketone, neutral bidentate ligand and organic solvent.     

Determination of metal ions by capillary electrophoresis using pre-column complexation with 1,10-phenanthroline

The capillary electrophoretic separation of Fe(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions in an acidic buffer solution (pH 2.5) by complexation with 1,10-phenanthroline is investigated. As 1,10-phenanthroline is a neutral ligand, the positively charged metal complexes formed migrate in the same direction as the EOF, providing a rapid separation of metal ions in acidic buffers. The method was applied to the determination of metal ions in vitamin tablets. Received: 5 January 1998 / Revised: 27 March 1998 / Accepted: 15 May 1998     

Luminescence determination of praseodymium in solutions of its β-diketonates

With the aim of a search for new analytical forms for the determination of praseodymium(III), its 4f luminescence was studied in solutions of mixed-ligand complexes with fluorinated β-diketones and donoractive ligands (1,10-phenanthroline, neocuproine, diantipyrylmethane, diantipyrylpropylmethane, and trioctylphosphine oxide). It was found that the luminescence intensity of praseodymium(III) depends on both the character of the fluoroalkyl substituent in the β-diketone molecule and the nature of the second ligand. The complex of praseodymium(III) with thenoyltrifluoroacetone and diantipyrylpropylmethane was used for the determination of praseodymium in some optical materials. The lower determination limit of praseodymium was 0.01 μg/mL.

2,2';9',2''-Ter[1,10]phenanthroline

The title molecule, 2,2';9',2'-ter[1,10]phenanthroline can be prepared from 2,9-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline in three steps through the corresponding diacetyl intermediate. The ligand acts as a hexadentate with K+, while two molecules form a trinuclear, helical complex with Cu(I), which evidences pi-stacking interactions and Cu-Cu distances of 3.01-3.04 A. Electrochemical analysis shows a strong interaction between the Cu(I) centers.     

Bimetallic bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene bridged copper(I) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives: synthesis,crystal structure,and spectroscopic characterization

A new series of bimetallic bis(diphenylphosphino)acetylene-bridged copper(I) 1,10-phenanthroline complexes, [Cu₂(dppa)₂(L)₂](BF₄)₂; L?=?1,10-phenanthroline (1); 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (2); 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (3); and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4), have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The X-ray structures of 1 and 4 were determined. The structures consist of centrosymmetric bimetallic 10-membered chair-like dimetallacycles. In 1, intermolecular C–H?π interactions result in bending of the phenanthroline ligand and sterically induced lengthening of one Cu–P bond. In 1–4, the ³¹P NMR downfield coordination shift, relative to the free ligand, correlates with the basic strength of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands.     

Successive copper(I)-catalyzed cross-couplings in one pot: a novel and efficient starting point for synthesis of carbapenems

An efficient approach for synthesizing a series of 2-sulfide carbapenems has been developed using two successive Cu(I)-catalyzed cross-couplings in a single pot. The method involves highly selective intramolecular coupling of lactam and dihaloalkene using 2,2'-bipyridine as a ligand, followed by intermolecular C-S formation in the presence of another ligand (1,10-phenanthroline, PPh 3) and mercaptan.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and physical properties of dinuclear copper(I) and tetranuclear mixed-valence copper(I,II) complexes with hydroxylated bipyridyl-like ligands

Four copper complexes with hydroxylated bipyridyl-like ligands, namely [Cu(2)(ophen)(2)] (1), [Cu(4)(ophen)(4)(tp)] (2), [Cu(4)(obpy)(4)(tp)] (3), and [Cu(4)(obpy)(4)(dpdc)].2H(2)O (4), (Hophen=2-hydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline, Hobpy=6-hydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine, tp=terephthalate, dpdc=diphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate) have been synthesized hydrothermally. X-ray single-crystal structural analyses of these complexes reveal that 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands are hydroxylated into ophen or obpy during the reaction, which provides structural evidence for the long-time argued Gillard mechanism. The dinuclear copper(I) complex 1 has three supramolecular isomers in the solid state, in which short copper-copper distances (2.66-2.68 A) indicate weak metal-metal bonding interactions. Each of the mixed-valence copper(i,ii) complexes 2-4 consists of a pair of [Cu(2)(ophen)(2)](+) or [Cu(2)(obpy)(2)](+) fragments bridged by a dicarboxylate ligand into a neutral tetranuclear dumbbell structure. Dinuclear 1 is an intermediate in the formation of 2 and can be converted into 2 in the presence of additional copper(II) salt and tp ligands under hydrothermal conditions. In addition to the ophen-centered pi-->pi* excited-state emission, 1 shows strong emissions at ambient temperature, which may be tentatively assigned as an admixture of copper-centered d-->s,p and MLCT excited states.     

Coordination and hydrogen bonded network structures of Cu(II) with mixed ligands: a hybrid hydrogen bonded material, an infinite sandwich arrangement, and a 3-D net

Mixed-ligand Cu(II) complexes with deprotonated trimesic acid and phenanthroline-type ligands were synthesised by solvothermal methods to form 2-D infinite hexagonal hydrogen bonded structures with additional trimesic acid (H3tma) molecules. The complex [Cu(phendione)2(H2tma)2].2(H3tma).1.65(CF3CH2OH).2.5(H2O), where phendione = 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, has hydrogen bonded networks of [Cu(phendione)2(H2tma)2] complexes interspersed with layers of H3tma with a topologically identical hydrogen bonding network. Whereas in [Cu(1,10-phenanthroline)(H2tma)2]2.2(H3tma), a dimeric Cu(II) complex hydrogen bonds directly to additional H3tma molecules to form a three-layered 2-D network resembling an infinite sandwich. The synthesis and structures of simple Cu(II) complexes of the phendione ligand are also reported. One of these, [Cu(phendione)2Br2] shows a particularly polar packing arrangement.     

Differentiation of flavonoid glycoside isomers by using metal complexation and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

The elucidation of flavonoid isomers is accomplished by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) via formation and collisional activated dissociation (CAD) of metal/flavonoid complexes containing an auxiliary ligand. Addition of a metal salt and a suitable neutral auxiliary ligand to flavonoids in solution results in the formation of [M(II) (flavonoid-H) ligand]⁺ complexes by ESI which, upon collisional activated dissociation, often result in more distinctive fragmentation patterns than observed for conventional protonated or deprotonated flavonoids. Previously, 2,2′-bipyridine was used as an auxiliary ligand, and now we compare and explore the use of alternative pyridyl ligands, including 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline. Using this technique, three groups of flavonoid glycoside isomers are differentiated, including glycosides of apigenin, quercetin, and luteolin.     

π-π Stacking,Hydrogen Bonding and Magnetic Coupling Mechanism on a Mono-nuclear Cu~Ⅱ Complex

A new mono-nuclear CuII complex [Cu(DPP)(DP)Br](ClO4)H2O (DPP = 2-(3,5- dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline, DP = 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole) has been syn- thesized with 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline and 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole as ligands, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal is of monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 13.765(2), b = 17.044(3), c = 10.9044(16), β= 97.112(2)°, V = 2538.5(6)3, Z = 4, C22H24BrClCuN6O5, Mr = 631.37, Dc = 1.652 g/cm3, F(000) = 1276 and μ= 2.585 mm-1. In the crystal, DPP functions as a tridentate ligand and CuII ions assume a distorted square pyramidal geometry with Br atom lying on the apex, and at the same time, there is π-π stacking between adjacent complexes, which deals with two 1,10-phenanthroline plane rings. In addition to the π-π stacking, there are C-H···Br non-classic hydrogen bonds between adjacent complexes. The theoretical calculations reveal that the π-π stacking and C-H···Br non-classic hydrogen bond result in a weak anti-ferromagnetic interaction with 2J = -5.34 cm-1 and a weak ferromagnetic 2J = 5.92 cm-1, respectively. The magnetic coupling sign from the π-π stacking could be explained with McConnell I spin-polarization mechanism.     

Stabilities of the Ternary Complexes of Copper(II) with Substituted 1,10-Phenanthrolines and Some Amino Acids in Aqueous Solution

In this study the binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) with substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines [s-phen: 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (nphen)] and l-amino acids [aa: l-phenylalanine (phe), l-tyrosine (tyr) and l-tryptophan (trp)] have been investigated using potentiometric methods in 0.1 mol·L^?1 KCl aqueous ionic media at 298.2 K. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of the binary and ternary complexes of Cu(II) with the ligands were calculated from the potentiometric data using the “BEST” software package. It was inferred that the aromatic 1,10-phenanthrolines act as a primary ligand in the ternary complexes, while the oxygen and nitrogen donor-containing amino acids are secondary ligands. The observed values of Δlog₁₀ K indicate that the ternary complexes are more stable than the binary ones, suggesting no interaction takes place between the ligands in the ternary complexes. The magnitudes of the measured stability constants of all of the ternary complexes are in the order [Cu(s-phen)(trp)]⁺ > [Cu(s-phen)(tyr)]⁺ > [Cu(s-phen)(phe)]⁺, which is identical to the sequence found for the binary complexes of Cu(II) with the amino acids. When the substituted 1,10-phenanthroline is changed, the stability constants of the ternary complexes decrease in the following order: [Cu(dmphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(phen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(nphen)(aa)]⁺.     

Synthesis,Structures and Room Temperature Phosphorescence of 2-(2-Methoxynaphthyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-(1)phenanthroline-Cu(I) Complexes

A new ligand, 2-(2-methoxynaphthyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline(mnipH), was synthesized by the condensation of 2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 5,6-diamino-1,10-phenanthroline. Then three ionic copper(I) complexes were obtained through the reactions of [Cu(MeCN)_4]ClO_4, mnipH and the chelating diphosphine ligands with a molar ratio of 1:1:1. The photoluminescence and the corresponding luminescent mechanism of all copper(I) complexes in the solid state were investigated at room temperature.     

Monoclinic CuO nanoflowers on resin support: recyclable catalyst to obtain perylene compound

Monoclinic CuO crystallite in grams has been obtained from resin bound Cu(II)-1,10-phenanthroline complex, R(-)[Cu(1,10-phen)(2)](2+) that becomes a recyclable catalyst for oxidative phenol coupling (OPC) reaction. Thus an exclusively intuitive blue fluorescing perylene derivative is derived from colorless 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene (2,7-DHN) in high yield.     

Dinuclear Cu(I) complexes of 1,2,4,5-tetra(7-azaindolyl)benzene: persistent 3-coordinate geometry, luminescence, and reactivity

Five Cu(I) complexes [Cu2(ttab)(CH3CN)2][BF4]2 (1), [Cu(2)(ttab)(PPh3)2][BF4]2 (2), [Cu2(ttab)I2] (3), [Cu2(ttab)(I3)2] (4), and [Cu2(ttab)(I)BF4]n (5) with 1,2,4,5-tetra(7-azaindolyl)benzene (ttab) have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of compound 1, 2, 4, and 5 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, which established that 1, 2, and 4 are discrete dinuclear Cu2 compounds while compound 5 is a 1D coordination polymer with the I- ligand bridging two dinuclear Cu2 units. The ttab ligand in all four complexes adopts a 1,3-chelation mode. The Cu(I) center in all complexes is three-coordinate. Close contact between the Cu(I) center and the benzene ring in the ttab ligand was observed in all four structures, which is believed to play a role in stabilizing the three-coordinate geometry of the Cu(I) center. The crystals of 1, 2, and 5 contain channels in the lattice that host solvent molecules such as CH2Cl2 and toluene. Fluorescent measurements established that, in solution, compounds 1-3 display weak blue luminescence which originates from the ttab but is significantly red-shifted and has a much lower emission intensity, compared to the free ttab ligand. The application of compound 1 in C-N cross-coupling reactions was examined by using the reaction of phenyl halides with imidazole as a model system. For the reaction with phenyl iodide, 1 was found to be as effective a catalyst as the CuI/1,10-phenanthroline system. For the reaction with phenyl bromide, 1 is less effective than the CuI/1,10-phenanthroline system. Compound 1 reacts with O2 gas, as established by UV-vis spectra, but the oxidized products have not been characterized.     

新的稀土Eu,Tb(Ⅲ)β-二酮三元配合物的合成与光谱性质

Spectral and electrochemical studies of bis(diimine)copper(II) complexes in anionic, cationic and nonionic micelles

The spectral and redox behavior of bis(diimine)copper(II) complexes, where diimine is bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and dipyrido-[3,2-d:2',3'-f]-quinoxaline, are significantly different in aqueous and in aqueous SDS, CTAB and Triton X-100 micellar solutions. The (1)H NMR spectral study in aqueous (D(2)O) and aqueous micelles reveals that the Cu(II) complexes interact more strongly with SDS than with CTAB and Triton X-100 micelles and at sites on SDS micelles different from those on the latter. Ligand Field spectral studies reveal that the complexes exist as the dicationic aquated species [Cu(diimine)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](2+), which interacts strongly with the anionic SDS micelles through columbic forces. However, they exist as [Cu(diimine)(2)(H(2)O)Cl](+) and/or [Cu(diimine)(2)H(2)] located in the hydrophobic microenvironments in Triton X-100 and CTAB micelles. The attainment of reversibility of the redox systems in the micellar microenvironments is remarkable and this illustrates that the Cu(II) and Cu(I) species undergo stereochemical changes suitable for reversible electron-transfer. The remarkable differences in spectral and electrochemical properties of Cu(II) complexes in aqueous and aqueous micellar solutions illustrate that the complexes are nestled largely within the micellar environments and imply that the accessibilities of the complexes to electron-transfer are different and are dependent on the nature of micelles as well as the nature and hydrophobicity of the diimine ligands.
