Synthesis of hetero-substituted derivatives of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)

A new approach to synthesis of hetero-substituted derivatives of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) was proposed. The approach involves stepwise introduction of functional groups into different dicarbollide ligands. Halogenation of the monohydroxy derivative [8-OH-3,3??-Co-(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)(1??,2??-C₂B₉H₁₁)]^? gave the corresponding halogen hydroxy derivatives [8-OH-8??-X-3,3??-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂]^? (X = Cl, Br, and I). Reactions of 8,8??-??-iodonium-3-commo-cobaltbis(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborate) [8,8??-I-3,3??-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂] with chloroform and 1,2-dibromoethane yielded the mixed halides [8-Y-8??-I-3,3??-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂]^? (Y = Cl and Br).     

Synthesis of new charge-compensated cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) derivatives

New hetero-substituted charge-compensated cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of 8,8′-μ-iodo-3-commo-3-cobalta-bis(1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane) [8,8′-μ-I-3,3′-Co(1,2-C₂B₉H₁₀)₂] with 1,4-thioxane, pyridine N-oxide, and tetrahydropyran. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the 8′-iodo-8-(pyridiniumoxy)eucosahydro-1,1′,2,2′-tetracarba-3-commo-cobalta-closo-tricosaborate molecule has the gauche-conformation (the substituents are turned with respect to each other by 69.2°). The positive charge is predominantly localized on the N(Py) atom.

Synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles based on cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)

An approach to the synthesis of new 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles, in which one or both substituents contain the cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) fragment, was suggested based on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides to alkynes catalyzed by copper(I) compounds. The reaction of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) azido derivatives with different terminal acetylenes led to 1,2,3-triazoles with the [((CH₂)₂X(CH₂)₂O-C₂B₉H₁₀)Co(C₂B₉H₁₁)] (X = O or CH₂) substituent at position 1 and the organic substituent at position 4. The [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) alkynyl derivatives with methyl azidoacetate furnished isomeric 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles with the metallacarborane fragment at position 4. 1,2,3-Triazole with metallacarborane substituents at positions 1 and 4 containing 36 boron atoms was also synthesized.

The Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of B-I bond in m- and p-carboranes and cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide) anion with organomagnesium and organozinc compounds were studied. Carboranyl derivatives of furan, thiophene, indole, pyridine and quinoline were synthesized. 2-Pyridylethynyl and 3-quinolylethynyl derivatives of p-carborane were prepared by Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions using corresponding alkynes or their magnesium derivatives.

Green synthetic approaches: solventless synthesis of polyfunctionally substituted aromatics as potential versatile building blocks in organic synthesis utilizing enaminones and enaminonitriles as precursors

Abstract

A variety of 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenes could be obtained upon heating enaminones in absence of solvent over montmorillonite-K-10. Heating mixtures of two different enaminones 2a–d have also afforded 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenes 7b–d and 8b–d resulting from self-condensation of one enaminone with two molecules of the other enaminone. Heating enaminone 2b with ethyl propiolate afforded a mixture of triaroylbenzene 3b in addition to diaroylbenzoic acid esters 11 and 1,3,5-aroylbenzene dicarboxylate 12. On the other hand, reaction of enaminone derivative 2b with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate has afforded 2-oxopyran-4-carboxylic acid derivative 15. 2-Aminoprop-1-ene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile 16 was reacted with enaminones to yield polysubstituted benzenes 19a–c. Likewise the reaction of 2-aminoprop-1-ene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile 16 with benzylidenemalononitrile has afforded polysubstituted benzenes 24.     

A versatile method for the synthesis of substituted 1-aminohydantoin derivatives

An efficient and versatile method has been developed for the synthesis of 1-aminohydantoin derivatives which can be substituted at all the possible positions of the hydantoin ring. The starting materials are aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and hydrazides as well as isocyanates readily available from commercial sources. The semicarbazide-type reaction product of an N-acyl-N′-(1-cyanoalkyl)hydrazine, obtained from the above materials by methods known from the literature, and an isocyanate is cyclized in the presence of a basic catalyst to yield 1-acylamino-4-imino-2-oxoimidazolidine derivatives whose acid catalyzed hydrolysis leads to 1-aminohydantoin derivatives in good to excellent yields. The last two steps are carried out in a single reaction medium.

Enantioselective synthesis of cis-1,2-dialkyl substituted cyclopentanoid and isoprostane building blocks via 6-exo-trigonal radical cyclizations

Two different 6-exo-trigonal cyclizations of enantiomerically enriched 6-heptenyl radicals readily afforded versatile synthetic precursors of cis-1,2-dialkyl substituted cyclopentane derivatives. Starting from one of these intermediates, we accomplished an enantiospecific formal synthesis of two important isoprostanes, namely 15-F_2c-IsoP and ent-15-F_2c-IsoP.     

Synthesis,cytotoxicity and antiviral activity studies of the conjugates of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(-I) with 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine and its cyclic derivatives

A series of novel conjugates of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(-I) with 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine and its cyclic derivatives were synthesized. Conjugates with 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine were prepared by the direct Sonogashira coupling of a series of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(-I) terminal alkynes and 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine. Their furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one isomers were obtained either by intermolecular cyclization of the above conjugates or by Sonogashira coupling using Pd/C as a catalyst. Action of ammonia on these furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one conjugates resulted in pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one conjugates. Most of the designed compounds have shown low cytotoxicity in several cell lines. Some 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine and furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one conjugates have also presented antiviral activity.     

Amino acids as building blocks for the synthesis of substituted 1,2,4-triazoles

We report on the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles substituted with 2 or 3 amino acid side chains, using silver benzoate as a key reagent for the cyclization step. A complete study of the optical purity retention during the synthetic process leading to these compounds is described. In addition an improved work-up after the addition-cyclization step was also established leading to better yields and metal-free products.     

A simple and facile synthesis of novel 1,2,3-triazole substituted pyrimidine derivatives

A series of novel indole and pyrimidine scaffolds bearing 1,2,3-triazoles have been designed and synthesized using click chemistry reaction conditions. Target compounds 9a-j were synthesized in the multi-step process. In the first step 5-substituted-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde 2a-b reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate 3 and guanidine hydrochloride 4 in presence of L-Proline in ethanol undergoes cyclisation to form 5a-b . Further, 5a-b condensed with various benzaldehydes to form Schiff's base 6a-f , which further proporgylated with propargyl bromide to form 7a-f . Finally, 7a-f was subjected to click-chemistry with various azides in the presence of CuSO₄.5H₂O + sodium ascorbate mixture in Dimethylformamide at room temperature to obtain 2 + 3 cycloaddition products 9a-j in high yield. All these synthetic methods are mostly green and inexpensive with excellent yields.     

Boronic acid-substituted metal complexes: versatile building blocks for the synthesis of multimetallic assemblies

Polypyridyl complexes of Ru(II) and Ir(III) incorporating a boronic acid substituent undergo cross-coupling with bromo-substituted complexes, and a sequential coupling-bromination-coupling strategy permits the controlled synthesis of a luminescent Y-shaped heterometallic assembly, in which efficient energy transfer to the terminus occurs.     

Enantioenriched synthesis of cyclopropenes with a quaternary stereocenter, versatile building blocks

Ir(salen) complexes were found to catalyze enantioselective cyclopropenation efficiently. Cyclopropenation can be carried out using either a donor/acceptor- or an acceptor/acceptor-substituted diazo compound such as α-aryl-α-diazoacetates, α-phenyl-α-diazophosphonate, 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1-diazoethane, and α-cyano-α-diazoacetamide as carbenoid precursors. The reactions provide highly enantioenriched cyclopropenes (84-98% ee) with a functionalized quaternary carbon as versatile building blocks.

Naphthalene-1,8-diyl bis(halogenophosphanes): novel syntheses and structures of useful synthetic building blocks

A series of new bay region disphospha-functionalised naphthalenes is reported. The reduction of ylidic phosphonium phosphoride NapP(2)Cl(6) (1) (Nap=naphthalene-1,8-diyl) with MeOPCl(2) gives the important synthon Nap(PCl(2))(2) (2) in nearly quantitative yield. Reaction of 1 with magnesium metal affords (NapP(2))(n) (3), which reacts with Br(2) and I(2), yielding Nap(PBr(2))(2) (4) and Nap(PI)(2) (5), respectively. X-ray structure determinations reveal a twisted geometry of the naphthalene ring in sterically strained 2 and 4, whilst the presence of a P-P bond in 5 results in the release of the steric strain and generation of the planar NapP(2) moiety. Although the tetrahedral P environments are severely distorted the sigma(3)P-sigma(3)P bonding in 5 represents a new type of P-P bonding environment in 1,8-diphosphanaphthalenes. Compounds 1, 4 and 5 each represent the highest coordination, achievable by direct halogenation. The new compounds 2-5 were fully characterised by NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.     

An efficient synthetic route to glycoamino acid building blocks for glycopeptide synthesis

[reaction: see text] Chemical glycopeptide synthesis requires access to gram quantities of glycosylated amino acid building blocks. Hence, the efficiency of synthesis of such building blocks is of great importance. Here, we report a fast and highly efficient synthetic route to Fmoc-protected asparaginyl glycosides from unprotected sugars in three steps with high yields. The glycosylated amino acids were successfully incorporated into target glycopeptides 7 and 8 by standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis.     

Enaminones as building blocks for the synthesis of substituted pyrazoles with antitumor and antimicrobial activities

Novel N-arylpyrazole-containing enaminones 2a,b were synthesized as key intermediates. Reactions of 2a,b with active methylene compounds in acetic acid in the presence of ammonium acetate afforded substituted pyridine derivatives 5a-d. Enaminones 2a,b also reacted with aliphatic amines such as hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride to give bipyrazoles 8a,b and pyrazolylisoxazoles 9a,b, respectively. On the other hand, treatment of 2a,b with a heterocyclic amine and its diazonium salt yielded the respective [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines 12a,b and pyrazolylcarbonyl[1,2,4]triazolo-[3,4-c][1,2,4]triazines 14a,b. Moreover, 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one (17) was prepared via reaction of enaminone 2a with aminothiouracil (15). Cyclocondensation of 17 with the appropriate hydrazonoyl chlorides 18a-c gave the corresponding pyrido[2,3-d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidin-5-ones 21a-c. The cytotoxic effects of compounds 2b, 14a and 17 against human breast cell line (MCF-7) and liver carcinoma cell line (HEPG2) were screened and in both lines they showed inhibition effects comparable to those of 5-fluorouracil, used as a standard. The antimicrobial activity of some products chosen as representative examples was also evaluated.
