Heterylation of 3-R1-5-R2-1,2,4-Triazoles with Derivatives of 3,5-Dinitro-1,2,4-Triazole

Heterylation of 3-R¹-5-R²-1'2'4-triazoles (pK _a 3-12) with N-alkyl-, N-alkenyl-, N-alkoxy-carbonyl-, N-oxoalkyl-, N-nitroxyalkyl, N-nitroaminoalkyl-3'5-dinitro-1'2'4-triazoles results insubstitution of a nitro group in 5 position of the dinitro compound yielding 1-R-methyl-3-nitro-5-(3-R¹-5-R²-1,2,4-triazolyl)-1,2,4-triazoles. The side processes: Hydroxide-ion attack on C⁵ and (or) N¹ of the ring both in the substrate and in the target compound afford 1-R-methyl3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones, 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole and NH-acids of N-C-bitriazole series. Optimal reaction media are aprotic dipolar substances, and for compounds prone to heterolysis ethyl acetate-water systems. The azole pK _a is the decisive factor controlling the composition and the ratio of reaction products. The process is promising for azoles with pK _a > 5, and the optimal range of pK _a is 8-10.     

On triazoles. V. Synthesis of 1- and 2-R1-3-R2,R3-amino-5-amino-1,2,4-triazoles

The correct isomeric and tautomeric structure of different 1- and 2-R¹-3-R²,R³-amino-5-amino-1,2,4-triazole derivatives prepared from the corresponding N-cyano-N'-R²,R³-S-methyl-isothioureas and the corresponding hydrazines was proved with the help of their ir, uv, ¹H-nmr and ¹³C-nmr spectra as well as the uv spectra of the Schiff bases of an isomeric pair.     

Synthesis of nitro,nitroso, azo,and azido derivatives of (4-R<Superscript>1</Superscript>-5-R<Superscript>2</Superscript>-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-1,2,5-oxadiazoles by oxidation and diazotization of the corresponding amines

Nitro-, nitroso-, and azo-1,2,5-oxadiazoles with 4-R¹-5-R²-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl substituents were synthesized by oxidation of amino-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-1,2,5-oxadiazoles (aminotriazolylfurazans). Azido-1,2,5-oxadiazole was prepared by diazotization of amino(triazolyl)furazan followed by treatment of the diazonium salt with sodium azide. Depending on the nature of the substituents and the reagent, triazolylfurazans can undergo destruction to give amino-R-furazans (R = NO₂, N₃, aminofurazanylazo), the amino group being formed from the triazole ring. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of 6-Amino-5-R2-7-(6-R1-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles

It has been found that malonodinitrile and 2-(6-R¹-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)acetonitrile in the presence of triethylamine undergo hetarylation by 5,6-dichloro-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitrile at the active methylene group to give the triethylammonium salt of 2-(3-chloro-5,6-dicyano-2-pyrazinyl)malononitrile or 5-chloro-6-cyano(6-R¹-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-quinazolylidene)methyl-2,3-pyrazinedicarbonitriles. Reaction of these with primary amines leads to annelation of the pyrrole ring at the pyrazine [b] edge to give 6-amino-5-R-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3,7-tricarbonitriles and 6-amino-5-R²-7-(6-R¹-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2-quinazolyl)-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitriles respectively.

Reaction of cis-Ru(bpy)2Cl2 with 1-phenyl 5-(aminophenyl) 9-(2-pyridyl) benzimidazole derivatives: crystal structures of N-(4-chlorophenyl) imidazo[1,5a] pyridine and cis-[Ru(bpy)2(MeCN)2](ClO4)2

Reaction of 1-phenyl 5-(aminophenyl) 9-(2-pyridyl) benzimidazole derivatives (2) with cis-Ru(bpy)₂Cl₂ in MeCN results in the formation of N-(aryl) imidazo[1,5a] pyridine derivatives (4) and cis-[Ru(bpy)₂(MeCN)₂]²⁺ (5). Crystal structures of N-(4-chlorophenyl) imidazo[1,5a] pyridine (4b) and cis-[Ru(bpy)₂(MeCN)₂](ClO₄)₂ (5) are also reported.     

Protonated forms of 2-(2-furyl)pyrroles and their interconversions

It was shown by ¹H NMR spectroscopy that 2-(5-R¹-2-furyl)-3-R²-1-R¹-pyrroles (R¹= H, Me; R²=H, Me; R³=H, Et, CH=CH₂) are protonated by acids (HSO₃F, HCO₂CF₃, HCl, HBr) either at the C(₅) atom of the pyrrole ring or at the C(₅) atom of the furan ring, depending on the conditions. The energies of formation (H), the charges, and the partial electron densities of the boundary orbitals of 2-(2-furyl)pyrrole (I) and its protonated forms (IA and IB) were calculated by the MNDO method. The calculated H values for the IA and IB forms are in agreement with their experimental ratio. According to the calculated reactivity indexes, the protonation of pyrrole is subject to orbital control and may include the prior formation of less stable protonated forms.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1343–1355, October, 1989.     

Copper(II) complexes of potentially terdentate N2-[(R)-2-hydroxypropyl]- and N2-[(S)-2-hydroxypropyl]-(S)-phenylalaninamide for chiral recognition: Synthesis of the Ligands and Formation Constants

Copper(II) complexes of the ligands N²-[(R)-2-hydroxypropyl]- and N²-[(S)-2-hydroxypropyl]-(S)-phenylalaninamide performed chiral separation of N-dansyl-protected and unmodified amino acids in HPLC (reversed phase). With the aim of investigating which species are potentially involved in the discrimination mechanism, the two ligands were synthesized and their complexation equilibria with Cu²⁺ studied by potentiometry and spectrophotometry in aqueous solution up to pH 11.7. The formation constants of the species observed, [CuL]²⁺, [CuL₂]²⁺, [CuLH_–1]⁺, [CuL₂H_–1]⁺, [CuL₂H_–2], and [CuL₂H_–3]^?, were quite similar for both compounds and were compared to those of (S)-phenylalaninamide. Most probably, in [CuL₂H_–3]^? the ligands behave as terdentate, with the deprotonated OH group occupying an apical position.     

Studies on the Base-Pairing Properties of N7-(2-Deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)guanine (N7Gd)

The base-pairing properties of N⁷-(2-deoxy-β-D -erythro-pentofuranosyl)guanine (N⁷G_d; 1 ) are investigated. The nucleoside 1 was obtained by nucleobase-anion glycosylation. The glycosylation reaction of various 6-alkoxy-purin-2-amines 3a - i with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(4-toluoyl)-α-D -erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride ( 8 ) was studied. The N⁹/N⁷-glycosylation ratio was found to be 1:1 when 6-isopropoxypurin-2-amine ( 3d ) was used, whereas 6-(2-methoxyethoxy)purin-2-arnine ( 3i ) gave mainly the N⁹-nucleoside (2:1). Oligonucleotides containing compound 1 were prepared by solid-phase synthesis and hybridized with complementary strands having the four conventional nucleosides located opposite to N⁷G_d. According to T_m values and enthalpy data of duplex formation, a base pair between N⁷G_d and dG is suggested. From the possible N⁷G_d dG base pair motives, Hoogsteen pairing can be excluded as 7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosine forms the same stable base pair with N⁷G_d as dG.     

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of (1R,2R)-N1-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine platinum(II) complexes with malonate derivatives

Three new platinum(II) complexes of (1R,2R)-N¹-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine with malonate derivatives as leaving groups have been synthesized and spectrally characterized. They were tested in vitro against four human cancer cell lines. [(1R,2R)-N¹-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N′](2-ethylmalonato-O,O′)platinum(II) turned out to be more active (IC₅₀ = 4.65 μM) than oxaliplatin (IC₅₀ = 6.55 μM) against the MCF-7 cell line and is superior to its parent complex, [(1R,2R)-N¹-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N′](malonato-O,O′)platinum(II). In addition, agarose gel electrophoresis study revealed that the interaction of the complex with pET22b plasmid DNA had a different behavior from that of cisplatin or oxaliplatin.     

Preparation,X-ray crystal structure and 13C- and 1H-NMR study of 1-methyl-2-(N-methyl-N-phenylglycyl)-3-(N-methylanilino)indole

Reaction of N-methylaniline with 40% glyoxal yields 1-methyl-2-(N-methyl-N-phenylglycyl)-3-(N-methylanilino)indole ( 1a ) as the main product together with 1-methyl-3-(N-methylanilino)indole ( 1b ). The reaction appears to be general for aromatic secondary amines since N-ethylaniline and N-phenylbenzylamine yield the corresponding indoles. The structure of 1a has been verified by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1a (C₂₅H₂₅N₃O) crystallized in the triclinic space group Pl? with cell dimensions a = 10.085(3)Å, b = 10.371(3)Å, c = 11.908(5)Å, α = 74.2(3)°, β = 74.7(3)° and γ = 60.7(2)° with Z = 2. The complete ¹H and ¹³C nmr assignment of indoles 1a and 1b was achieved from two-dimensional HETCOR and COSY spectra with the aid of homonuclear and heteronuclear double resonance experiments.     

Synthesis,structure and spectroscopic properties of CuL(MeOH), H2L = (E)-N 1-(2-((2-aminocyclohexydiimino)(phenyl)methyl)-4-chlorophenyl)-N 2-(2-benzyl-4-chlorophenyl)oxalamide

A new kind of copper(II) complex, CuL(MeOH) (H₂L?=?(E)-N ¹-(2-((2-aminocyclohexydiimino)(phenyl)methyl)-4-chlorophenyl)-N ²-(2-benzyl-4-chlorophenyl)oxalamide) has been synthesized and its structure determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. Copper(II) ion is five-coordinate, bonding to four nitrogen atoms from H₂L and one oxygen atom from MeOH. Hydrogen bonds in the crystal result in the formation of a one-dimensional structure. EPR spectra are discussed. Computer simulation gave g_||?=?2.200, g_⊥?=?2.002. On the basis of the synthesis and the crystal structure, the mechanism of the metal template reaction involved in the formation of the complex was verified.

Methylene-bridged bis(8-arylimino)-5,6,7-trihydro-quinolylinickel precatalysts for ethylene polymerization

A series of binuclear nickel complexes bearing N-(5,6,7-trihydroquinolin-8-ylidene)amino CH(C₆H₄-4-R²){4-C₆H₂-2,6-R¹₂N-(C₅H₃NC₄H₆)}₂ [R¹ = Me, R² = OH L1 , R¹ = Et, R² = OH L2 , R¹ = Me, R² = H L3 , R¹ = Me, R² = OCH₃ L4 ] has been synthesized and characterized. In the presence of either methylaluminoxane (MAO) or Et₂AlCl, all nickel complexes exhibited high activities up to 3.33 × 10⁶ g (PE)·mol⁻¹(Ni)·hr⁻¹ toward ethylene polymerization, producing high branched polyethylenes (PEs). The aluminum cocatalysts have significantly affected the properties of resultant PE; with MAO as the cocatalyst, the resultant PE shows higher molecular weight and possesses only one T_m value, meanwhile Et₂AlCl as the cocatalyst, the obtained PE indicates lower molecular weight and two melting points. The microstructures of those PEs determined by their ¹³C NMR spectra illustrate the similar densities but different types of branches, in which the PE obtained with Et₂AlCl shows high methyl branch selectivity (>80%), and the PE produced by MAO has 50% methyl and another half of longer branches. The branched PEs are consistent to the chain migration happened in the ethylene polymerization.     

Use of Suzuki cross-coupling as a route to 2-phenoxy-6-iminopyridines and chiral 2-phenoxy-6-(methanamino)pyridines

The anisyl boronic acids, 2-OMe-3-R²-5-R¹-C₆H₂B(OH)₂ (R¹=R²=H (a); R¹=H, R²=Ph (b); R¹=Me, R²=H (c); R¹=Cl, R²=H (d); R¹=t-Bu, R²=H (e)), have been employed in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with either 2-bromo-6-formylpyridine (I) or 2-bromo-6-acetylpyridine (II) generating, following a facile deprotection step, the 2-phenoxy-6-carbonylpyridines, 2-(2′-OH-3′-R²-5′-R¹-C₆H₂)-6-(CHO)C₅H₃N (R¹=R²=H (1a); R¹=Me, R²=H (1c); R¹=Cl, R²=H (1d); R¹=t-Bu, R²=H (1e)) and 2-(2′-OH-3′-R²-5′-R¹-C₆H₂)-6-(CMeO)C₅H₃N (R¹=R²=H (2a); R¹=H, R²=Ph (2b)). Condensation reactions of 1 and 2 with 2,6-diisopropylaniline proceed smoothly to give the 2-phenoxy-6-iminopyridines, 2-(2′-OH-3′-R²-5′-R¹-C₆H₂)-6-{CHN(2,6-i-Pr₂C₆H₃)}C₅H₃N (R¹=R²=H (3a); R¹=Me, R²=H (3c); R¹=Cl, R²=H (3d); R¹=t-Bu, R²=H (3e)) and 2-(2′-OH-3′-R²-5′-R²-C₆H₂)-6-{CMeN(2,6-i-Pr₂C₆H₃)}C₅H₃N (R¹=H, R²=Ph (4a), R¹=H, R²=Ph (4b)). Reduction of the imino unit (and concomitant C-C bond formation) in 3 can be achieved by treatment with trimethylaluminium or methyllithium which, following hydrolysis, furnishes the racemic chiral 2-phenoxy-6-(methanamino)pyridines, 2-(2′-OH-3′-R²-5′-R¹-C₆H₂)-6-{CHMe-NH(2,6-i-Pr₂C₆H₃)}C₅H₃N (R¹=R²=H (5a); R¹=Me, R²=H (5c); R¹=Cl, R²=H (5d); R¹=t-Bu, R²=H (5e)). This work represents a straightforward and rapid synthetic route to libraries of sterically and electronically variable phenoxy-substituted imino- and methanamino-pyridines, which are expected to act as useful ligands or proligands for late and early transition metal-mediated alkene polymerisation catalysis.     

Interaction of N-(aryl)picolinamides with iridium. N–H and C–H bond activations

Reaction of N-(4-R-phenyl)picolinamide (R = OCH₃, CH₃, H, Cl and NO₂) with [Ir(PPh₃)₃Cl] in refluxing ethanol in the presence of a base (NEt₃) affords two yellow complexes (1-R and 2-R). The 1-R complexes contain an amide ligand coordinated to the metal center as a monoanionic bidentate N,N donor along with two triphenylphosphines, a chloride and a hydride. The 2-R complexes contain an amide ligand coordinated to the metal center as a monoanionic bidentate N,N donor along with two triphenylphosphines and two hydrides. Similar reaction of N-(naphthyl)picolinamide with [Ir(PPh₃)₃Cl] affords two organometallic complexes, 3 and 4. In complex 3 the amide ligand is coordinated to the metal center, via C–H activation of the naphthyl ring at the 8-position, as a dianionic tridentate N,N,C donor, along with two triphenylphosphines and one chloride. Complex 4 is similar to complex 3, except a hydride is bonded to iridium instead of the chloride. Structures of the 1-OCH₃, 2-Cl and 4 complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. All the complexes are diamagnetic, and show characteristic ¹H NMR signals and intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. Cyclic voltammetry on all the complexes shows a Ir^III–Ir^IV oxidation within 0.50–1.16 V vs. SCE and a reduction of the coordinated amide ligand within −1.02 to −1.25 V vs. SCE.     

Assessment of amination reactions via nucleophilic aromatic substitution using conventional and eco-friendly energies

The efficiency of conventional heating energy source compared with Infrared (IR), Ultrasound (US), Microwave and the simultaneous combination US–IR eco-friendly approaches for preparation of new N-(5-R¹ _-amino-2-nitrophenyl)acetamides and 5-R¹-amino-2-nitroaniline by Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution (S_NAr) via addition–elimination reactions on the halogens F, Cl, Br, I, employing amines as nucleophiles were explored. Moreover, phenyldiazenyl derivatives in good yields by an oxidative one-pot S_NAr-based amination reaction from an unusual oxidation of 2-phenylhydrazinyl derivatives in DMSO was prepared.     

Tetrazole compounds. 11. electron impact mass spectrometry of 1-aryl-5-(l-acyl-2-dialkylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazoles

All tetrazoles investigated showed a clearly observable molecular ion and underwent as the main fragmentation the elimination of nitrogen followed by a number of various subsequent processes. Besides, primary fragments such as [M ? N₃^?]⁺ and [M — ArN₃]^+? were also observed.
