Conformational analysis ofortho-substituted diphenyl ethers and diphenylmethanes with linear substituents

Conformational analysis of di-ortho-substituted diphenylmethanes and Biphenyl ethers containing I, CCH, and CCCCH substituents was carried out by the molecular mechanics method using the MM3 program. Several minima on the potential energy surface, which correspond to thegg, gt, tg, andort conformations, were found. An increase in the length of the linear substituent results in a substantial decrease in the difference in the relative energies of conformers. Barriers to conformational transitions between thegt, tg, andort conformers are less than 2 kcal mol^–1. The transitionort-gg requires expenditure of energy of up to 5 kcal mol^–1. Two valleys of centrosymmetric pairs of thegt, tg, andort conformers are separated by a barrier of up to 6 kcal mol^–1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis,structure, and properties of organoplatinum(ii) derivatives of diphenyl ether

New mono- and disubstituted organoplatinum(II) derivatives of diphenyl ether,cis-(PhOC₆H₄-o)PtCl(PPh₃)₂ and (o-C₆H₄OC₆H₄-o)Pt(PPh₃)₂, were synthesized by the reaction of 2,2-dilithium diphenyl oxide withcis-Cl₂Pt(PPh₃)₂. Transmetallation of (PhOC₆H₄-o)AuPPh₃ withcis-Cl₂Pt(PPh₃)₂ was studied using³¹P NMR monitoring. This reaction proceeds with the retention of configuration to afford ClAuPPh₃ andcis-(PhOC₆H₄-o)PtCl(PPh₃)₂ under kinetically controlled conditions. The latter complex irreversibly isomerizes into thetrans isomer in the presence of equimolar quantities of ClAuPPh₃, whereas, in the presence of free PPh₃, this isomerization is reversible. The structures of the obtained diphenyl oxide derivatives of platinum were confirmed by³¹P NMR and FAB mass spectrometry. It was established by X-ray structural analysis that in thecis-(PhOC₆H₄-o)PtCl(PPh₃)₂ complex, the Pt atom is in a nearly square-planar coordination, and secondary intramolecular Pt...O interaction occurs.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of new diphenyl ether derivatives as serotonin transporter ligands

For the development of new ligands as potential imaging agents for the serotonin transporter (SERT),a series of diphenyl ether derivatives have been synthesized,characterized,and evaluated for their in vitro binding affinities to the SERT. Among the above compounds,2-(2-((dimethylamino)methyl)-4-fluoro-phenoxy)-5-bromobenzenamine (15) and 2-(2-((dimethylamino)methyl)-4-fluorophenoxy)-5-iodobenzene amine (16) show high binding affinities for the SERT with Ki values of 0.28 and 0.20 nmol·L-1,respectively. They can be further labeled with carbon-11,fluorine-18,iodine-123 or bromine-76,and evaluated as useful imaging agents for the SERT. Moreover,the study of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) provides some useful information for the future design of new ligands.     

Synthesis and stereochemical studies of 1- and 2-phenyl-substituted 1,3-oxazino[4,3-a]isoquinoline derivatives

A cleanup method of serum extracts with molecular sieves as SPE sorbents for the analysis of polybrominated diphenyl ethers

Based on the size- and shape-selective sorption, 13X molecular sieves were developed as solid-phase extraction adsorbents to cleanup serum extract for the determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers. The important parameters affecting the cleanup efficiency were investigated including the amount of sorbents, the type, and volume of solvents. Under the optimized conditions, the capacity for removing impurities was evaluated via gel permeation chromatography and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. The results demonstrated that up to 99% of lipids in corn oil (13 mg) can be removed after cleanup, and endogenous compounds in serum can also be effectively eliminated. The cleanup efficiency is not only superior to hydrophile-lipophile balance column, but also close to acid silica gel and multifunction impurity sorbents. Generally, the developed cleanup method exhibited higher recovery for polybrominated diphenyl ethers with more than four bromines, especially for nona- and deca-brominated diphenyl ethers (99.1˗117.8%). The cleanup method can be coupled with gas chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry for polybrominated diphenyl ethers analysis in human serum. The method detection limits were 0.01˗0.27 ng/mL and average recovery was 50.9˗113.3%, except 2,3',4',6-tetrabrominated, 2,3',4,4',6-pentabrominated, and 2,3,3',4,4',5',6-heptabrominated diphenyl ethers. 2,2',4,5'-Tetrabrominated diphenyl ethers had the highest detection frequency (95%) in human serum, whereas decabrominated diphenyl ethers had the maximum mean concentration (0.50 ng/mL).     

Crystal structure of 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazolium diphenyl phosphate reveals strong NHO and OHO hydrogen bonds

The structure of 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazolium diphenyl phosphate (HOBt/DPP) has been investigated by X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with Z = 4 and the following lattice parameters: a = 11.711(2), b = 12.727(2) and c = 12.794(3) Å, β = 105.12(2)°, V = 1840.9(6) ų. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined on F² to R values of wR2 = 0.084 and R1 = 0.034 for 1985 observed reflections. HOBt/DPP has an ionic structure with very short OHO and NHO hydrogen bonds linking the different ions. Owing to these hydrogen bonds, infinite screw-shaped chains which are twisted parallel to the y-axis are formed.     

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography of polybrominated diphenyl ethers

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with micro electron-capture detection (GCxGC-muECD) was evaluated for the separation of 125 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). From among the six column combinations that were evaluated, DB-1x007-65HT was found to be the most suitable because of: (i) the highest number of BDE congeners separated; (ii) the least decomposition of higher brominated congeners; and (iii) the most suitable maximum operating temperature. The separation of the 125 BDE congeners from five hydroxy- and two methoxy-BDEs and nine other brominated flame retardants (polybrominated biphenyls, tetrabromobisphenol-A, methyl-tetrabromobisphenol-A and hexabromocyclododecane) was also studied. Fluorinated BDEs were found to be valuable internal standards for the determination of BDEs because of their very similar physico-chemical properties and excellent separation from the parent BDEs, mainly in the second dimension. GCxGC-time-of-flight MS and GCxGC-muECD were shown to be useful tools to identify decomposition products of nona- and deca-substituted BDEs, which are formed during the GC run. Three nona-BDEs were shown to be the major decomposition products of BDE 209.

Conformational analysis of 5,6-dihydropyrimidine and its derivatives

The equilibrium geometry and inversion barriers of 5,6-dihydropyrimidine, 6,7-dihydroazolopyrimidines with node nitrogen atoms and their alkyl (Me, Et, Prⁱ, Bu^t) and phenyl derivatives were calculated using a molecular mechanics approach. Annelation with azole cycles and the introduction of substituents have a slight effect on the equilibrium conformation of the dihydrocycle (distorted sofa). Alkyl substutuents at saturated carbons have an essentially equatorial orientation in 5,6-dihydropyridimine derivatives and are axial in the annelated analogs. On the other hand, the equatorial conformers are more stable in phenyl derivatives of dihydroazolopyrimidines. Factors determining the relative stability of conformers were analyzed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 487–491, March, 1995.     

HPLC isolation and NMR structure elucidation of the most prominent octabromo isomer in technical octabromo diphenyl ether

The major octabromo isomer of technical octabromo diphenyl ether mixture (technical octaBDE) DE-79 was isolated by RP-HPLC. Three serially coupled columns (each 250 mm long) enabled a good separation of the target compound from other congeners using 100% ACN as eluent. Approximately 100 microg of the target compound was isolated with a purity of >90% and investigated by MS for confirmation of the degree of bromination. 1H-NMR and 2-D 1H-13C correlation NMR spectra unequivocally clarified that the octaBDE in question is 2,2',3,3',4,4',6,6'-octabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 197). Based on annual production rates of technical BDE products (1999/2001), approximately 380 tons of BDE 197 were annually produced which, on the long term, may enter the environment. Compared with other individual BDE congeners, BDE 197 has the seventh highest application rate. Reductive debromination of BDE 197 can lead to four hepta-, 15 hexa-, 23 penta-, and 28 tetra-BDE isomers, respectively. This variety includes all known major BDEs of environmental concern (BDE 47, 85, 99, 100, 153, 154, and 183). The identification of BDE 197 in technical octaBDE DE-79 strongly suggests that research on the environmental fate of BDEs should include this key-BDE congener.     

Comments on chemical properties reported for diphenyl disulfide and its derivatives: The merit of the phenyl groups

The symmetrical 2,2′-disubstitued derivatives of diphenyl disulfide showing widely spanning rates of electrophilic attack of the HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein p7 zinc fingers have been rationalized, based on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)-lowering approach, by the substituents' π-effects and the hydrogen bond stabilization effects. In the 2,2′-amide- and 4,4′-N-amide-substituted derivatives, the extent of LUMO lowering has been reduced by the destabilization of lone-pair bond orbital, lp(N), present on the nitrogen atom of N-amide. From the natural bond orbital viewpoint, hydrogen bond stabilization of LUMO is mainly governed by stabilization of the σ*_SS bond orbital.

Determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in environmental standard reference materials

Standard reference materials (SRMs) are valuable tools in developing and validating analytical methods to improve quality assurance standards. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a long history of providing environmental SRMs with certified concentrations of organic and inorganic contaminants. Here we report on new certified and reference concentrations for 27 polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners in seven different SRMs: cod-liver oil, whale blubber, fish tissue (two materials), mussel tissue and sediment (two materials). PBDEs were measured in these SRMs, with the lowest concentrations measured in mussel tissue (SRM 1974b) and the highest in sediment collected from the New York/New Jersey Waterway (SRM 1944). Comparing the relative PBDE congener concentrations within the samples, we found the biota SRMs contained primarily tetrabrominated and pentabrominated diphenyl ethers, whereas the sediment SRMs contained primarily decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE 209). The cod-liver oil (SRM 1588b) and whale blubber (SRM 1945) materials were also found to contain measurable concentrations of two methoxylated PBDEs (MeO-BDEs). Certified and reference concentrations are reported for 12 PBDE congeners measured in the biota SRMs and reference values are available for two MeO-BDEs. Results from a sediment interlaboratory comparison PBDE exercise are available for the two sediment SRMs (1941b and 1944).     

Synthesis and characterization of novel pyridyl/naphthyl/(diphenyl)methylseleno substituted alkanoic acids: X-ray structure of 2-pyridylselenoethanoic acid, 2-naphthylselenoethanoic acid and 2-(diphenyl)methylselenoethanoic acid

A number of novel and synthetically important pyridyl/naphthyl/(diphenyl)methylseleno substituted alkanoic acids (20-25) have been synthesized using an efficient and operationally simple strategy. Starting substrates, ethyl pyridyl/naphthyl/(diphenyl)methylseleno substituted alkanoates (8-13) were easily prepared by treatment of ethyl chloroalkanoates 7(a-c) with nucleophilic selenium reagent RSeNa⁺, generated from the cleavage of dipyridyl/dinaphthyl/bis(diphenylmethyl) diselenide (1-6) with sodium borohydride in ethanol. The ethyl pyridyl/naphthyl/(diphenyl)methylseleno substituted alkanoates (8-13) on basic hydrolysis and subsequent acidification afford pyridyl/naphthyl/(diphenyl) methylseleno substituted alkanoic acids (20-25) in excellent yields. These selenoalkanoates (8-13) and selenoalkanoic acids (20-25) have been characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic techniques viz. NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ⁷⁷Se), IR and mass spectrometry. The molecular structure of 2-pyridylselenoethanoic acid (20a), 2-naphthylselenoethanoic acid (23a) and 2-(diphenyl)methylselenoethanoic acid (24a) has also been established with the help of single crystal X-ray analysis.

Molecular mechanical calculations of the molecular structure of eight-coordinate europium complexes

Molecular mechanics methods were applied to the determination of the structure of eight-coordinate europium complexes: tris(acetylacetonato)Eu(III) trihydrate, tris(acetylacetonato) (1,10-phenanthroline)Eu(III), and tetrakis(benzoylacetonato)Eu(III). Optimization of MM2 force-field parameters and improvement of the calculation method were carried out using models of the complexes based on X-ray structural investigations. Steric ligandligand interactions in the first coordination sphere were treated as dominant for the lanthanide complexes. The major contributions to the energy are those of nonbonded 1,3-interactions between the atoms directly bound to the europium atom. The results of the calculations agree well with the crystal structures of the mentioned complexes.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1555–1559, September, 1993.
