Synthesis,characterization, molecular and supramolecular structures of nickel(II) complexes derived from α-diketone and α-ketoaldehyde bisaroylhydrazones

A new series of nickel(II) complexes derived from symmetrical diacetyl bisaroylhydrazones [Ni(L¹-R)] and unsymmetric phenylglyoxal bisaroylhydrazones [Ni(L²-R)] have been prepared and characterized. X-ray crystal and molecular structures of [Ni(L¹-H)], [Ni(L¹-pCH₃O)] and [Ni(L¹-pNO₂)] have been determined. In these complexes, the Ni(II) is in a distorted square planar environment and the aroylhydrazone acts as dinegative tetradentate ligand forming a 5,5,5-tricyclic chelate ring. Reaction of [Ni(L¹-R)] with aqueous ammonia afforded the paramagnetic five coordinate [Ni(L¹-R)(NH₃)] while [Ni(L²-R)] gave the diamagnetic square planar [Ni(L²-R)(NH₃)] complexes. Reaction of [Ni(L¹-R)] complexes with imidazole gave the corresponding paramagnetic octahedral bis(imidazole) adducts. X-ray structures of both [Ni(L¹-H)(HIm)₂] and [Ni(L¹-pNO₂)(HIm)₂] suggest a distorted octahedral structure where the bisaroylhydrazone occupies the basal plane while the two imidazoles occupy the axial sites. The molecular units are associated together forming triple stranded helical chains. With imidazole the [Ni(L²-R)] series gave the corresponding diamagnetic mono(imidazole) [Ni(L²-R)(HIm)] complexes, The X-ray structure of {Ni(L²-pCH₃)(HIm)] suggest square planar arrangement around the Ni(II) where the bisaroylhydrazone acts as dinegative NNO tridentate ligand forming with the Ni(II) a 5,6-bicyclic chelate ring the fourth coordination site is occupied by imidazole nitrogen.

Synthesis of α-Nitro Ketoximes from Styrenes and tert-Butyl Nitrite

We have discovered that various α-nitro ketoximes can be synthesized in good yields starting from styrenes and tert-butyl nitrite. The success of the reaction was critically dependent on the use of a mixture solvent of dimethylsulfoxide and water. The reaction can tolerate a wide variety of substituents including electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups.

A series of new α-hydroxyphosphonate (5–14) have been synthesized in high yields by reaction of β-chloro-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (1–4) and trialkyl phosphite in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane at room temperature under solvent-free conditions.

Synthesis of C-Sulfonylcarbohydroximoyl Chlorides from α-Diazosulfones and Nitrosyl Chloride1

Previous investigations in this laboratory have been concerned with reactions of α-diazosulfones² (1) with electrophilic reagents, such as sulfenyl chlorides², t-butyl hypochlorite^2,3 and halogens⁴, which lead to threefold electronegatively substituted methanes (2). As was anticipated, α-diazosulfones closely resemble α-diazoketones in these reactions.⁵     

Synthesis of some new α,α-dioxoketene-N,S- and -N,N-acetals derived from secondary aliphatic amines

A total of 11 new α,α-dioxoketene- N,S -acetals (2a–2k) and two new α,α-dioxoketene- N,N -acetals (3j and 3k) have been synthesised by treating 3-[bis(methylthiol)methylene]pentane-2,4-dione (1) with increasing mole ratios of secondary aliphatic amines at room temperature, in either toluene or ethanol. Eight non-cyclic N -methylalkyl and N -ethylalkyl amines and the azacyclopentane of pyrrolidine yielded exclusively mono-substituted N,S -acetals (2a–2i), while the azacyclohexanes of piperidine and morpholine yielded the mono-substituted N,S -acetals 2j and 2k and the double-substituted N,N -acetals 3j and 3k. The conversion yields for the reactions in ethanol are considerably higher than those in toluene. Furthermore, the secondary aliphatic amines with an N -methylalkyl moiety, which have one primary α-carbon and less steric crowding around the nucleophilic nitrogen, appear to be more reactive towards 1 than those with the N -ethylalkyl group, which have two primary α-carbons; further, the latter amines are more reactive than the amines with secondary α-carbons.
