Syntheses,spectroscopy, and X-ray structures of 3-{(R)-(Ar)-ethylimino}-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (Ar = Ph,MeOC6H4, BrC6H4, 1-naphthyl) and [Rh(η4-cod){3-((R)-(Ar)-ethylimino)-3H-indol-2-olato}]

Condensation of 1H-indole-2,3-dione (isatin) with (R)-(Ar)-ethylamines gives enantiopure Schiff bases, 3-{(R)-(Ar)-ethylimino}-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (HL) {Ar?=?Ph (HL1), 2-MeOC₆H₄ (HL2), 4-MeOC₆H₄ (HL3), 4-BrC₆H₄ (HL4), and 1-naphthyl (HL5)}. The Schiff bases readily coordinate to [Rh(μ-O₂CMe)(η⁴-cod)]₂ (cod?=?1,5-cyclooctadiene) to give mononuclear [Rh(η⁴-cod){3-((R)-(Ar)-ethylimino)-3H-indol-2-olato}] {Ar?=?Ph (1), 4-MeOC₆H₄ (2), and 4-BrC₆H₄ (3)}, respectively. The Schiff bases and complexes have been fully characterized by IR, UV-Vis, ¹H-NMR, mass, and circular dichroism (CD) spectrometry. Polarimetry and CD measurements show the enantiopurity of the Schiff bases as well as the complexes. ¹H NMR measurements reveal slow conversion of the lactam to the enol form of the Schiff bases in solution. In the solid state the lactam form dominates as shown by crystal structures of HL1 and HL4. While gross structural features of both are similar, the molecules differ significantly in the relative orientations of the aryl and lactam rings. The difference is mostly rotation about the N2–C9 bond with different C8–N2–C9–C11 torsion angle of +89.77(12)° for HL1 and C2–N2–C9–C11 of +106.8(3)° for HL4.     

Syntheses, structure, and a Mössbauer and magnetic study of Ba(4)Fe(2)I(5)S(4)

The compound Ba4Fe2I5S4 has been prepared at 1223-1123 K by the "U-assisted" reaction of FeS, BaS, S, and U with BaI2 as a flux. A more rational synthesis was also found; however, the presence of U appears to be essential for the formation of single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies. Ba4Fe2I5S4 crystallizes in a new structure type with two formula units in space group I4/m of the tetragonal system. The structure consists of a Ba-I network penetrated by (1)infinity[Fe2S4] chains. Each Fe atom, which is located on a site with 4 symmetry, is tetrahedrally coordinated to four S atoms. The FeS4 tetrahedra edge-share to form linear (1)infinity[Fe2S4] chains in the [001] direction. The Fe-Fe interatomic distance in these chains is 2.5630(4) A, only about 3% longer than the shortest Fe-Fe distance in -Fe metal. Charge balance dictates that the average formal oxidation state of Fe in these chains is +2.5. The M?ssbauer spectra obtained at 85 and 270 K comprise a single quadrupole doublet that has hyperfine parameters consistent with an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The M?ssbauer spectrum obtained at 4.2 K consists of a single magnetic sextet with a small hyperfine field of -15.5 T. This spectrum is also consistent with rapid electron delocalization and an average Fe oxidation state of +2.5. The molar magnetic susceptibility of Ba4Fe2I5S4, obtained between 3.4 and 300 K, qualitatively indicates the presence of weak pseudo-one-dimensional ferromagnetic exchange within a linear chain above 100 K and weak three-dimensional ordering between the chains at lower temperatures.     

Synthesis,stereochemistry, and spectroscopic characterization of [Rh(η4-cod){(R)-2-(X-benzaldimine)-2-phenylethanol-κ 2 N,O}](acetate) (X = H; 2,4-dimethoxy)

Condensation of X-benzaldehyde with (R)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol gives the enantiopure Schiff bases (R)-2-(X-benzaldimine)-2-phenylethanol (X?=?H, HL1; 2,4-dimethoxy, HL2). The Schiff bases coordinate with dinuclear [Rh(η⁴-cod)(µ-O₂CCH₃)]₂ to afford the cationic complexes [Rh(η⁴-cod){(R)-2-(benzaldimine)-2-phenylethanol-κ ² N,O}](acetate), [Rh(η⁴-cod)(HL1)](ac) (1) and [Rh(η⁴-cod){(R)-2-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzaldimine)-2-phenylethanol-κ ² N,O}](acetate), [Rh(η⁴-cod)(HL2)](ac) (2), respectively. The Schiff bases and complexes are isolated as solids in good yields and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, ¹H/¹³C-NMR, mass spectroscopy, and polarimetry.

Synthesis and structural characterization of camphanates of (−)-(2S3S,3S) and (+)-(2S,3R)-4-Phenyl-3-bromo-2-butanol diastereoisomers

The X-ray crystal structures of (–)-syn-4-phenyl-3-bromo-2-butyl camphanate (I) and (+-anti-4-phenyl-3-bromo-2-butyl camphanate (II) have been determined. Thesyn diastereoisomer of bromohydrin has the (2S,3S) absolute configuration whereas theanti diastereoisomer has the (2S,3R) absolute configuration. The crystallized derivatives I and II have been obtained by the reaction of each stereoisomer of bromohydrin, synthesized by reduction with baker's yeast, with (1S)-camphanic chloride. Crystal data: (I) C₂₀H₂₅BrO₄:M _w: 409.32; orthorhombic,P2₁2₁2₁;a=11.245(3),b=12.086(1),c=14.512(4) å; Z=4; finalR=0.053 for 1819 observed reflections.

Syntheses,structures, and properties of transition metal complexes with 2-( n -pyridyl)benzimidazole ( n = 2, 3, and 4)

Three pyridylbenzimidazoles (2-PBIM, 3-PBIM, and 4-PBIM) have been prepared (2-PBIM: 2-(2-pyridyl)-benzimidazole, 3-PBIM: 2-(3-pyridyl)-benzimidazole, 4-PBIM: 2-(4-pyridyl)-benzimidazole). Reactions of several transition metals (Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺) with the three ligands gave four new coordination complexes, [(Cd)₂(2-PBIM)₂(CH₃COO)₄] (1), [Cu(3-PBIM)₂(CH₃COO)₂]?·?2H₂O (2), [Cu(4-PBIM)₂(CH₃COO)₂(H₂O)]?·?H₂O (3), and [Fe(4-PBIM)₂(Cl)₂(H₂O)₂] (4), respectively. These four complexes have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR spectroscopy, and UV absorption spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric properties of 2 and 4 were also measured. X-ray crystallographic studies reveal that these four complexes are very different, although the ligands are similar in structure. The role of hydrogen-bonding and π–π interactions in extending dimensionality of simple complexes has been discussed.     

Synthesis and biological activity of the (−)-(2R,3S,4S)-3-azido-4-methoxy-2-(1′S-methoxy-2′-azido)ethyl-thiolane

A stereospecific ring contraction reaction, promoted by NaN₃, was detected starting from a thiepane derivative obtained from d-sorbitol, an inexpensive alcohol sugar. The major polyfunctionalized thiolane derivative obtained was investigated as a potential glycosidase inhibitor.

First synthesis of (−)-(1R,4R)- and (+)-(1S,4S)-(7,7-dimethyl-2-methylene-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-1-yl)-methanol: new fenchone-derived chiral auxiliaries

The treatment of (+)- or (−)-fenchones epoxides with 1:2 85% H₃PO₄:DMSO for 30 min at 20°C induced an enantiospecific Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement affording new C(10)-O-substituted camphor derivatives which could prove useful as chiral auxiliaries.     

Enantioselective preparation of (2R,3R)-(+)- and (2S,3S)-(−)-2,3-epoxy-2-methylbutanoic acids and some derivatives

(2R,3R)-(+)- and (2S,3S)-(−)-2,3-epoxy-2-methylbutanoic acids (epoxyangelic acids) were prepared from (Z)-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid using the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation method in combination with the use of (−)- and (+)-menthol as chiral auxiliaries. Both substances, obtained in high enantiomeric excess, were characterized by spectroscopic and optical activity data. Their absolute configuration was determined by correlation with (R)-(+)-2-methyl-1,2-butanediol.

Investigation of supramolecular inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-hydroxypiperidine and 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-benzoyloxypiperidine oxalate by NMR spectroscopy

A comparative analysis of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-hydroxypiperidine, 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-benzoyloxypiperidine oxalate and their inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin was performed. The differences in values of chemical shifts of ¹H and ¹³C nuclei of the substrates and the receptor in the inclusion complexes were determined. It was found that the formation of complexes of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-hydroxypiperidine and 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-benzoyloxypiperidine oxalate with β-cyclodextrin was accompanied by insertion of one N-ethoxyethyl fragment of the substrate molecule into the inner sphere of one molecule of the receptor.     

Synthesis and cytotoxicity of dinuclear platinum(Ⅱ) complexes of (1S, 3S)-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinolines

A series of novel dinuclear platinum(Ⅱ) complexes with (1S, 3S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines as the ligands were synthesized as potential anticancer agents in several steps starting from commercially available L-DOPA. The cytotoxicities of the series of dinuclear platinum(Ⅱ) complexes of tetrahydroisoquinoline were tested against HCT-8, BEL-7402, A2780, MCF-7, Hela, A549 and BGC-823 cell lines by the MTT test. These complexes showed selective inhibition activity against cisplatin-insensitive cell line Skov3.

Syntheses,characterizations, crystal structures,and in vitro antitumor activities of chiral triorganotin(IV) complexes containing (S)-(+)-2-(4-isobutyl-phenyl)propionic and (R)-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propionic acid ligands

Four new chiral triorganotin(IV) carboxylates, [(R₃Sn)(O₂C₁₃H₁₇)] _n (R?=?Me 1, Ph 2), [(R₃Sn)(O₂C₁₃H₁₇)] (R?=?n-Bu 3), and [(R₃Sn)(O₄C₉H₉)] _n (R?=?Me 4), have been synthesized by reaction of (S)-(+)-2-(4-isobutyl-phenyl)propionic acid and (R)-(+)-2-(4hydroxyphenoxy)propionic acid with triorganotin(IV) chloride in the presence of sodium ethoxide. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectra, and X-ray crystallography diffraction analyses. Structural analyses show that 1 has a 1-D infinite chiral zigzag chain structure. Complexes 2 and 4 have a 1-D spring-like chiral helical chain with a channel, while 3 is a monomer. Antitumor activities of 1–4 have been studied.     

3-ethyl-3-phenylazetidinone-2—I. Synthesis of (R)-, (S)- and (RS)-monomer,polymerization and properties of polymers

Synthesis and optical resolution of 3-ethyl-3-phenylazetidinone-2 were improved to obtain (RS)-, (R)- and (S)-monomers having optical purities up to 98%, which could successfully be determined by ¹H-NMR 250 MHz using tris[3-(2,2,2-trifluoro-l-hydroxymethylidene)d-camphorato]europium III as a shift reagent. These monomers were polymerized anionically in HMPT using potassium salt as a catalyst and by the addition of 1-acetyl-4,4-dimethylazetidinone-2 as a chain initiator. Optical purity of the starting monomer seemed to be maintained in the resulting polymers, the thermal properties of which were found to depend on the mean length of the stereoblocks contained in the chain. While the reactivity, in particular the case of polymerization, of monomer increased with the optical purity, no evidence could be obtained for stereoregulation by a preferential incorporation of a monomer enantiomer according to the configuration of the growing chain end unit.

Synthesis of 1-[6-Fluoro-(2S)-3H,4H-dihydro-2H-2-chromenyl]-(1R)-1,2- ethanediol and 1-[6-Fluoro-(2R)-3H,4H-dihydro-2H-2-chromenyl]- (1R)-1,2-ethanediol

Benzopyran compounds possess diverse pharmacological properties such as β-blockade, anticonvulsant and antimicrobial.[1,2] Our interest has been focused on the synthesis of 1-[6-Fluoro-2S]-3H,4H-dihydro-2H-2-chromenyl]-(1R)-1,2-ethanediol (6) and 1-[6-fluoro-(2R)-3H,4H-dihydro-2H-2-chromenyl]-(1R)-1,2-ethanediol (7) which are particularly convenient precursor to (S,R,R,R)-NE (8). 8 containing four asymmetrical carbon atoms was reported to be the most active isomer.[3] Chandrasekhar[4] has reported on the synthesis of 8. The key step to synthesize this compound is to obtain the chiral chromanone 6 and 7. 6 was accomplished in 8 steps by the Clasien rearrangement and a one-pot Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, but the compound 7 was accomplished in 10 steps. Johannes[5] used Zr-catalytic kinetic resolution of allylic ethers and Mo-catalyzed chromene formation to synthesize 8 in 14 steps. However both of the methods request many synthetic steps and expensive reagents.
