Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Computational Studies of Charge-Transfer Complexation Between 4-Aminoaniline and 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone

A charge-transfer (CT) complex that forms from the reaction of the donor 4-amino aniline (4AA) and the π-acceptor 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) have been studied and characterized experimentally and as well as theoretically at room temperature. The experimental work includes the application of UV–visible spectroscopy to identify the CT band of the CT-complex. The composition of the complex has been investigated using spectrophotometric titration and Job’s method of continuous variation and found to be 1:1. Furthermore, to calculate the formation constant and molar extinction coefficient, we have used the Benesi–Hildebrand equation. Infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and mass spectral studies were used to characterize and confirm the formation of the CT-complex. The experimental studies were supported by quantum chemical simulations using density functional theory. The computational analysis of molecular geometry, Mulliken charges, and molecular electrostatic potential surfaces of reactants and complexes are helpful in assigning the CT route. The C=O bond length of DDQ increased upon complexation with 4AA. We have also observed that a substantial amount of charge has been transferred from 4AA to DDQ in the process of complexation. An excellent consistency has been achieved between experimental and theoretical results.

Spectrophotometric titration of phenothiazines using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone

A specific Spectrophotometric titration method is described for the micro-determination of some phenothiazine derivatives in strong orthophosphoric acid medium using the -acceptor 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as a mild oxidizing titrant.

Quantitative recoveries are reported for pure drugs and their dosage forms. The method is simple and specific for determining phenothiazine derivatives in presence of their induced degraded oxidation products.

Spectrophotometric,Thermodynamic and Density Functional Studies of Charge Transfer Complex Between Benzhydryl Piperazine and 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone

The charge transfer complex of benzhydryl piperazine as donor with the π-acceptor 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone has been studied spectrophotometrically in acetonitrile medium at different temperatures. On mixing the donor with acceptor, a reddish brown colored charge transfer complex is formed. Electronic absorption spectra of the complex show charge transfer bands at 587, 546 and 457 nm. The molecular composition of the complex was studied by applying Job’s continuous variation and spectrophotometric titration methods. These results support the formation of the complex in a 1:2 ratio. The Benesi–Hildebrand equation has been applied to compute the formation constant and molecular extinction coefficient. Thermodynamic parameters of the charge transfer complexation reaction (standard entropy, standard enthalpy and standard Gibbs free energy) have been calculated. The results of the spectrophotometric study demonstrated that the charge transfer complex formation is endothermic. The computational studies of the charge transfer complex were performed by using the Gaussian 09 W package of programs. The bond lengths, bond angles, dihedral angles, Mulliken atomic charges, molecular electrostatic potential maps and characterization of the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital surfaces of charge transfer complex were computed.     

Oxidative transformation of the natural lignan hydroxymatairesinol with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone

The oxidative transformation of the two isomers of the natural lignan hydroxymatairesinol from Norway Spruce (Picea abies) by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), has been studied. Significant differences in the outcome of the reactions were observed when the pure isomers of hydroxymatairesinol were reacted with DDQ under the same conditions. The different stereoelectronic effects in the two isomers as well as their conformational structures seem to determine the site of reaction, which results in different reaction products. Several products were identified by GC-MS and NMR spectroscopy. Oxomatairesinol was obtained in a yield of 25%.

EDA Complexes of 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with Some Substituted Anilines

Summary. Electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes of several substituted anilines with the -acceptor 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (DClNQ) in chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane were studied by a spectrophotometric method. Experimental data has been shown to confirm the 1:2 stoichiometry of the acceptor-donor in spite of the apparent linearity of the Benesi-Hildebrand plot for a 1:1 complex. The calculated values of oscillator strengths, transition moments, and thermodynamic parameters confirms the 1:2 (A:D) stoichiometry of the complexes. The formation constants and molar absorptivities for these AD₂ complexes have been evaluated. The stoichiometry was unaffected by the variation of the temperature over a small interval and also by the change in polarity of the solvent. The order of the donor strength followed the sequence: N-benzylaniline>p-chloroaniline>m-chloroaniline>o-chloroaniline.Present address: Materials Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12, India

Spectroscopic and spectrofluorimetric studies on the interaction of irbesartan with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone and iodine

Raman, UV-vis, 1H NMR, FT-IR, mass and fluorescence spectral techniques were employed to investigate the mechanism of interaction of irbesartan (IRB) drug with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and iodine. Interaction of IRB with iodine yields triiodide ion and its formation was confirmed by electronic and Raman spectra. The peaks appeared in Raman spectrum of the isolated product at 143, 113 and 76 cm(-1) are assigned to νas(I-I), νs(I-I) and δ(I3-) respectively, confirmed the presence of I3- ion. The interaction of DDQ with irbesartan was found to proceed through the formation of outer complex and its conversion to the CT complex. Formation constant (K), molar extinction coefficient (?) and thermodynamic properties ΔH#, ΔS# and ΔG# were determined and discussed. Fluorescence quenching studies indicated that the interaction between the IRB and the acceptors are spontaneous and the IRB-DDQ interaction is found to be stronger than that the other system. Solvent variation studies indicated that the binding constant increased with an increase in polarity of the medium.

Selective oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols using Mn(OAc)3/catalytic 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone

A practical, chemoselective oxidation of alcohols employing catalytic quantities of DDQ as the oxidant and Mn(OAc)(3) as the co-oxidant is described. Electron-rich benzylic alcohols are oxidized efficiently to their corresponding carbonyls, but less electron-rich benzylic alcohols remain unchanged. Allylic alcohols are rapidly oxidized to their corresponding aldehyde or ketone counterparts in high yields. This protocol is operationally simple, employs an inexpensive source of Mn(OAc)(3), has short reaction times, and exhibits a significant chemoselectivity favoring allylic alcohols over benzylic alcohols. This procedure also avoids the use of very large excesses of reagents and sometimes poor reproducibility that characterize previously developed reagents such as MnO(2).

Selective oxidation of unsaturated alcohols catalyzed by sodium nitrite and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone with molecular oxygen under mild conditions

We have developed a simple and practical process for the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds by using a low catalytic amount of DDQ, NaNO(2) as a cocatalyst, and molecular oxygen as terminal oxidant. Nitric oxide generated in situ by NaNO(2) in the presence of AcOH is essential for the realization of the catalytic cycle at room temperature. The practical utility of this catalytic process has been demonstrated in the gram-scale oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol.
