A practical synthesis of tris(pyrazolyl)methylaryls

The preparation of three tris(pyrazolyl)toluidines from trifluoromethylaniline reagents is described that likely takes advantage of (quinoidal) resonance-stabilized activation of the C-F bonds. Subsequent transformations lead to two additional (for a total of five new) tris(pyrazolyl)methylaryls. This simple reaction is remarkable because only one other tris(pyrazolyl)methylaryl has been reported previously, because it is usually very difficult to activate fluoroalkane C-F bonds, and because of the potential scope of the reaction.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of pyrazolyl bistriazines

Reaction of 6-chloro-N,N′-bispyrazolyl-[1,3,5]triazine-2,4-diamines with 4-aminobenzylamine under microwave irradiation produces bistriazines in excellent yields. The use of a diamine bearing amino groups with different reactivities allowed the reaction to be carried out in two steps and selectively gave monotriazines, bistriazines with identical substituents and differently substituted bistriazines. The structures of these new compounds have been studied by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and in one case by X-ray crystallogrphy. These new bistriazines have promising applications in supramolecular chemistry based on hydrogen bonds and/or complexation with metals. The presence of a rigid linker can be used for the efficient preparation of extended supramolecular polymers with interesting fluorescence properties by complexation with cyanuric and barbituric acid derivatives.     

Supramolecular networks of silver(I) and iron(II) complexes of the third generation tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligand Ph(2)(O)POCH(2)C(pz)(3) (pz = pyrazolyl ring)

The new ligand Ph(2)(O)POCH(2)C(pz)(3) (pz = pyrazolyl ring), prepared from the reaction of HOCH(2)C(pz)(3) and Ph(2)P(O)Cl in the presence of base, reacts with either AgBF(4) or Fe(BF(4))(2).6H(2)O in a 2/1 molar ratio to yield {[Ph(2)(O)POCH(2)C(pz)(3)](2)Ag}(BF(4)) () and {[Ph(2)(O)POCH(2)C(pz)(3)](2)Fe}(BF(4))(2) (), respectively. In the structure of , the silver is in an unusual planar geometry with each of the ligands in a kappa(2)-kappa(0) coordination mode. Slow evaporation of a thf solution of yields crystalline [Ph(2)(O)POCH(2)C(pz)(3)Ag](2)(thf)(2)}(BF(4))(2) (). In each cationic unit of , the two Ph(2)(O)POCH(2)C(pz)(3) ligands coordinate to the same two silver(i) centers in a kappa(2)-kappa(1) bonding mode, with a silver atom separation of 3.36 A. The supramolecular structure of both and is dominated by a pair of cooperative hydrogen bonding interactions between the Ph(2)P(O) secondary tecton and a hydrogen atom from a methylene group situated on a neighboring building block, which arranges the cations in chains. The reaction of HC(pz)(3) and AgO(3)SCF(3) (AgOTf) yields {[HC(pz)(3)](2)Ag(2)}(OTf)(2) (). The cationic unit in has a structure very similar to that of , but with a much shorter distance between the silver atoms at 2.86 A. The supramolecular structure of is dominated by an unusual pyrazolyl embrace interaction where the acceptor ring in the C-Hpi interaction is the pyrazolyl ring kappa(1)-bonded to silver in the adjacent dimeric unit rather than the other ring in a kappa(2)-bonded Cpz(2) unit. This interaction arranges the cations in chains which are further organized into sheets by the triflate anions that link the chains via combined AgO/CHO interactions. The iron in is octahedral with each tris(pyrazolyl)methane unit in the kappa(3)-tripodal coordination mode. The supramolecular structure is sheets formed by hydrogen bonding between the Ph(2)P(O) oxygen and a meta-position hydrogen on one of the diphenylphosphine rings from an adjacent cation.     

The synthesis and x-ray structure of tris(pyrazolyl)borate(trimethyl)tin; a six-coordinate trialkyltin complex

Reaction between Me₃SnCl and K[HB(pz)₃) (pz= 1-pyrazolyl, C₃H₃N₂) affords [HB(pz)₃]SnMe₃ which was shown by a full X-ray structure determination (Trigonal, space group P$\text{3}$, a = b = 11.722(3), c = 8.211(2) Å, γ = 120°, Z = 2) to contain six-coordinate tin bonded to three methyl groups and to three pyrazolyl groups.     

The synthesis and characterisation of C-triorganometallated (metal=Sn,Si) bis-(thienyl)- and bis-(pyrazolyl)alkanes,including the crystal structure of [(Ph3Sn)C3N2]2CH2

C-organostannyl- and organosilyl-derivatives of 2-(thien-2-ylmethyl)thiophene and 1-[(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-pyrazole have been synthesised and characterised spectroscopically. Lithiation and subsequent substitution by R₃M takes place at the 5,5′ positions for both bis-heterocycles, and this is confirmed by the X-ray structure of 1,1′-[5,5′-(Ph₃Sn)C₃N₂]₂CH₂.     

Coordination chemistry of a terpyridine-tris(pyrazolyl) ditopic ligand

A new ditopic ligand, 4'-(4-(2,2,2-tris(1H-pyrazol-1-ido)ethoxymethyl)phenyl)-2,2':6',2'-terpyridine (pzt), has been prepared and its coordination chemistry studied. Metal ions with a preference for octahedral geometry form ML(2) complexes that are readily isolated and characterised, with the metal ion being bound to the terpyridine sites of both ligands. Other metal ions bind to the terpyridine site of just one ligand. In the case of silver(i), a dinuclear M(2)L(2) complex has been isolated in which each silver ion is coordinated to the terpyridine site of one ligand and to a single pyrazolyl donor group from the second ligand. Evidence for binding of metal ions to the tris(pyrazolyl) binding site was obtained by electrospray mass spectrometry and NMR techniques. The free ligand and three metal complexes, including the disilver complex, have been characterised by X-ray crystallographic techniques.     

Functionalised Tris(pyrazolyl)methane Ligands and Re(CO)3 Complexes Thereof

The synthesis of new tripodal nitrogen ligands derived from tris(pyrazolyl)methane (Tpm^R, R = H, tBu, Ph in 3‐position) is described. After deprotonation of the parent tris(pyrazolyl)methane Tpm^R, the carbanion reacts readily with ethylene oxide to yield the 3,3,3‐tris(3′‐substituted pyrazolyl)propanol ligands[(3‐Rpz)₃CCH₂CH₂OH, R = H, tBu, Ph, 1a – c ]. These ligands can be easily derivatised at the alcohol function. Microwave‐assisted reactions of these ligands and [Re(CO)₅Br] yields the complex [( 1a )Re(CO)₃]Br ( 4 ) in the case of ligand 1a , whereas in the case of the substituted ligands 1b and 1c degradation was observed. The degradation products are identified as [(Hpz^R)₂Re(CO)₃Br] [R = tBu ( 7b ), Ph ( 7c )]. These complexes were also prepared directly from [Re(CO)₅Br] and the corresponding pyrazoles by microwave‐assisted synthesis. The Re(CO)₃ complexes 4 and [( 1a )Re(CO)₃]OTf ( 5 ) are water‐soluble. The structures of 5· H₂O and [{(pz)₃CCH₂CH₃}Re(CO)₃]OTf · 1.5H₂O · ¹/₂CH₃CN ( 6· 1.5H₂O · ¹/₂CH₃CN) as well as the structure of 7b have been elucidated by X‐ray crystallography.     

Tricarbonylrhenium(I) and manganese(I) complexes of 2-(pyrazolyl)-4-toluidine

A series of tricarbonyl rhenium(I) and manganese(I) complexes of the electroactive 2-(pyrazolyl)-4-toluidine ligand, H(pzAn^Me), has been prepared and characterized including by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The reactions between H(pzAn^Me) and M(CO)₅Br afford fac-MBr(CO)₃[H(pzAn^Me)] (M = Mn, 1a; Re, 1b) complexes. The ionic species {fac-M(CH₃CN)(CO)₃[H(pzAn^Me)]}(PF₆) (M = Mn, 2a; Re, 2b) were prepared by metathesis of 1a or 1b with TlPF₆ in acetonitrile. Complexes 1a and 1b partly ionize to {M(CH₃CN)(CO)₃[H(pzAn^Me)]⁺}(Br⁻) in CH₃CN but retain their integrity in less donating solvents such as acetone or CH₂Cl₂. Each of the four metal complexes reacts with (NEt₄)(OH) in CH₃CN to give poorly-soluble crystalline [fac-M(CO)₃(μ-pzAn^Me)]₂ (M = Mn, 3a; Re, 3b). The solid state structures of 3a and 3b are of centrosymmetric dimeric species with bridging amido nitrogens and with pyrazolyls disposed trans- to the central planar M₂N₂ metallacycle. In stark contrast to the diphenylboryl derivatives, Ph₂B(pzAn^Me), none of the tricarbonyl group 7 metal complexes are luminescent.

The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with a = 7.928(6), b = 9.306(4), c = 17.16(2) Å, β = 92.06(8)°, V = 1265(2) ų, Z = 2, D_calc = 2.191 g cm^–3. From two independent molecular units, metal-ligand strands are formed based on electrostatic interactions between the thallium centers and pyrazolyl π manifolds from neighboring molecules.     

Structural and electronic differences of copper(I) complexes with tris(pyrazolyl)methane and hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands

Copper(I) complexes with tripodal nitrogen-containing neutral ligands such as tris(3,5-diisopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane (L1') and tris(3-tertiary-butyl-5-isopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane (L3'), and with corresponding anionic ligands such as hydrotris(3,5-diisopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate (L1-) and hydrotris(3-tertiary-butyl-5-isopropyl-1-pyrazolyl)borate (L3-) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Copper(I) complexes [Cu(L1')Cl] (1), [Cu(L1')(OClO3)] (2), [Cu(L1')(NCMe)](PF6) (3a), [Cu(L1')(NCMe)](ClO4) (3b), [Cu(L1')(CO)](PF6) (4a), and [Cu(L1')(CO)](ClO4) (4b) were prepared using the ligand L1'. Copper(I) complexes [Cu(L3')Cl] (5) and [Cu(L3')(NCMe)](PF6) (6) with the ligand L3' were also synthesized. Copper(I) complexes [Cu(L1)(NCMe)] (7) and [Cu(L1)(CO)] (8) were prepared using the anionic ligand L1-. Finally, copper(I) complexes with anionic ligand L3- and acetonitrile (9) and carbon monoxide (10) were synthesized. The complexes obtained were fully characterized by IR, far-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structures of both ligands, L1' and L3', and of complexes 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5, 6, 7, and 10 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The effects of the differences in (a) the fourth ligand and the counteranion, (b) the steric hindrance at the third position of the pyrazolyl rings, and most importantly, (c) the charge of the N3 type ligands, on the structures, spectroscopic properties, and reactivities of the copper(I) complexes are discussed. The observed differences in the reactivities toward O2 of the copper(I) acetonitrile complexes are traced back to differences in the oxidation potentials determined by cyclic voltammetry. A special focus is set on the carbonyl complexes, where the 13C NMR and vibrational data are presented. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to shed light on the differences in CO bonding in the compounds with neutral and anionic N3 ligands. In correlation with the vibrational and electrochemical data of these complexes, it is demonstrated that the C-O stretching vibration is a sensitive probe for the "electron richness" of copper(I) in these compounds.     

A chiral alkyltris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand: synthesis of [(Ipc)B(pz)3Mn(CO)3] and [(Ipc)B(pz)3Ru(p-cymene)]PF6 (Ipc = Isopinocampheyl)

The application of the reagent (Ipc)BCl(2) (Ipc = isopinocampheyl) in the synthesis of a new tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand having an Ipc substituent on boron is described. The sodium salt is a convenient precursor for the preparation of the complexes [(Ipc)tris(pyrazolyl)borato]tricarbonylmanganese and [[(Ipc)tris(pyrazolyl)borato](p-cymene)ruthenium](+), whose X-ray crystal structures are reported. While little distortion of the B(pz)(3)M unit is observed in these complexes, steric interaction between the Ipc group and the 3-positions of the pyrazolyl rings is noted to lead to distortion of the angles around the B-C bond.     

Minimum energy structure of hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borato iridium(V) tetrahydride is not a C(3upsilon) capped octahedron

Recent synthesis and NMR spectroscopy of neutral Ir(V) complexes hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borato tetrahydride (Tp*IrH(4)) and hydridotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borato tetrahydride (TpIrH(4)) have been interpreted as supporting face-capped octahedral structures (C(3upsilon)) with each of three Ir-H bonds trans to an Ir-N bond and the fourth hydride capping the IrH(3) face. Here, density functional geometry optimizations and coupled cluster calculations on hydridotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borato iridium tetrahydrogen find that a C(s) edge-bridged octahedral tetrahydride structure and a C(1) eta(2)-dihydrogen, dihydride structure are local minima and find that the C(3upsilon) structure is a local maximum (second-order saddle point). Several low energy transition states connecting the local minima have been located, and these minima can be used to simulate the experimental NMR spectra. A comparison of the experimental infrared spectrum of Tp*IrH(4) and the harmonic frequency calculations on the C(s), C(1), and C(3upsilon) structures also supports the assignment of the C(s)and C(1) structures as the observed ones.

A series of new 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-[(5-substituted phenyl)-1,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl-amino]-6-iodoquinazolin-4(3H) ones (6a–m) have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-substituted phenyl acryl amido-6-iodoquinazolin-4(3H) ones with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of glacial acetic acid. The chalcone (5a–m) have been prepared by the condensation of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-acetamido-6-iodoquinazolin-4(3H) one with different substituted aromatic aldehyde. The compound 1 on treatment with 5-iodoanthranilic acid in pyridine undergoes cyclisation gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-6-iodo-3,1-benzoxazin-4(3H) one (2). Treatment on benzoxazine with hydrazine hydrate gave 3-amino-2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-6,8-dibromo quinazolin-4(3H) one (3) followed by acetylation synthesized 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-acetamido-6,8-dibromoquinazolin-4(3H)-one (4). The structure of synthesized compounds has been elucidated by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and elemental analysis. The products were screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Among the series containing some of the compounds showed promising results against standard drugs.

Alkynylcarbyne complexes containing various tri- and bidentate ligands such as cyclopentadienide,tris(pyrazolyl)borate,bis(pyrazolyl)acetate and tmeda: synthesis and spectroscopic properties

The (alkynylcarbyne)tungsten complexes [L₃(CO)₂WCCCR] (3a,b–6a,b) [L₃=hydro[tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)]borato (Tp′, 3), hydro[tris(pyrazol-1-yl)]borato (Tp, 4), cyclopentadienyl (Cp, 5), bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetato (bdmpza, 6); R=SiMe₃ (a), Ph (b)] were prepared in a stepwise fashion from [W(CO)₆] and Li[CCR], (CF₃CO)₂O and M[L₃] (M=Na, K). The formation of 6a,b was highly selective, only complexes with a trans arrangement of the carboxylate group of bdmpza and the alkynylcarbyne ligand were detected. The reaction of [W(CO)₆] with Li[CCR], C₂O₂Cl₂ and tmeda afforded trans-[Cl(CO)₂(tmeda)WCCCR] (7a,b). The electron-donating potential of the different tripodal ligands L₃ was studied by IR- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy and compared to that of the ligand combination Cl/tmeda. The IR data suggest that in these complexes bdmpza is a weaker electron donor than Tp′ and Tp but displays stronger electron-donating abilities than Cp. The structures of 6b and 7b were established by X-ray structural analyses.     

Spin-crossover in dimeric hydrogen-bonded iron(II) 2-(pyrazolyl)-pyridine and 2-(imidazolyl)-pyridine complexes

Five new hydrogen-bonded solvated iron(II) complexes of pyrazolyl- and imidazolyl-based N,N-chelating ligands have been synthesised. Water to ligand-NH hydrogen-bonded bridges occur in the pseudo-dimeric complexes {cis-[Fe(pypzH)₂(NCX)₂]₂(μ-OH₂)(H₂O)₂} · H₂O · MeOH (where X = S or Se), and in the chain complex {cis-[Fe(pypzH)₂(NCS)₂](μ-OH₂)}_n. A “half” spin-crossover (T_c = 125 K) was observed in the dimeric X = Se complex by means of magnetic measurements and no thermal hysteresis occurred between 4 and 300 K. The crystal structure at 123 K showed Fe–N distances consistent with the magnetism. Each Fe in the dimeric unit was structurally equivalent in the HS–LS state. Removal of the solvate molecules led to HS–HS behaviour over the temperature range 4–300 K. The pseudo-dimer with X = S also showed HS–HS behaviour as did the monomeric analogue cis-[Fe(pypzH)₂(NCS)₂]H₂O and a structurally different methanol-bridged dimer {cis-[Fe(pyimH)₂(NCS)₂]₂(μ-MeOH)₂} · 2MeOH (pypzH = 2-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-pyridine; pyimH = 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyridine).     

Synthesis of a macrobicycle incorporating the tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligand

Steric crowding of the 3-position of tris(pyrazolyl)borate and -methane ligands has produced tetrahedral metal complexes with controlled reactivity. As an alternative, we propose to incorporate the tris(pyrazolyl)methane chelate in a macrobicyclic structure in order to create a cavity with well-defined dimensions and shape. Acid-catalyzed equilibration of excess of the new pyrazole 3-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)benzenemethanethiol acetate with HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) followed by hydrolysis affords a functionalized tris(pyrazolyl)methane, which reacts with 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene in K(2)CO(3)/DMF to give the title compound.
