The reactions of aroylpyruvic acids and their derivatives witho-aminophenyldiphenylmethanol

Aroylpyruvic acids and their methyl esters react witho-aminophenyldiphenylmethanol to form 4-aryl-2-[2-(1-hydroxydiphenylmethyl)phenylamino]-4-oxobut-2-enoic acids and their esters. The α-enamino acids obtained undergo intramolecular heterocyclization in the presence of Ac₂O to affort substituted 4,5-dihydrobenzo[e][1,4]oxazepin-3(1H)-ones. The reaction of 5-arylfuran-2,3-diones witho-aminophenyldiphenylmethanol leads to products of decyclization, 2-(1-hydroxydiphenylmethyl)phenylamides of 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoic acid, which upon heating in AcOH or Ac₂O yield 3-aroylacetyl-1,1-diphenyl-1H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazines.

Chemiluminescence method for the determination of mitoxantrone by the enhancement of the tris-(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthrolinedisulfonic acid)ruthenium(II)–cerium(IV) system

2,5-Dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD) self-assembled monolayer on gold electrode was prepared and investigated by electrochemical measurement. The DMTD/Au electrode exhibited a significantly increased sensitivity and selectivity for Pb(II) in acetate buffer (pH 5.5) at a potential of −1.0 V (vs Ag/AgCl) for 4 min by anodic stripping voltammetry. The influence of various experimental parameters on the voltammetric response was studied. Under the optimized working conditions, the dependence of the stripping peak current response on concentration of Pb(II) was linear in the range of 1–45 μmol L⁻¹ with a correlation coefficient of 0.9988, and the detection limit was 0.10 μmol L⁻¹. The relative standard deviation of the results was 3.4% for six successive determinations of a 20 μmol L⁻¹ Pb(II) solution. A study of interfering substances was also performed. The method was applied to the determination of Pb(II) in water samples with satisfactory results.

Synthesis and structural studies of (2E,3E)-3-[(6-{[(1E,2E)-2-(hydroxyimino)-1-methylpropylidene]amino}pyridin-2-yl)imino]butan-2-one oxime, ligand and its mono-, di- and trinuclear copper(II) complexes

A new dioxime ligand, (2E,3E)-3-[(6-{[(1E,2E)-2-(hydroxyimino)-1-methylpropylidene]amino}-pyridin-2-yl)imino]butan-2-one oxime, (H₂Pymdo) (3) has been synthesized in H₂O by reacting 2,3-butenedione monoxime (2) with 2,6-diaminopyridine. Mono-, di- and tri-nuclear copper(II) complexes of the dioxime ligand (H₂Pymdo) and/or 1,10-phenanthroline have been prepared. The dioxime ligand (H₂Pymdo) and its copper(II) complexes were characterized by ¹H-n.m.r., ¹³C-n.m.r. and elemental analyses, magnetic moments, i.r. and mass spectral studies. The mononuclear copper(II) complex of H₂Pymdo was found to have a 1:1 metal:ligand ratio. Elemental analyses, stoichiometric and spectroscopic data of the metal complexes indicated that the metal ions are coordinated to the oxime and imine nitrogen atoms (C=N). In the dinuclear complexes, in which the first Cu(II) ion was complexed with nitrogen atoms of the oxime and imine groups, the second Cu(II) ion is ligated with dianionic oxygen atoms of the oxime groups and are linked to the 1,10-phenanthroline nitrogen atoms. The trinuclear copper(II) complex (6) was formed by coordination of the third Cu(II) ion with dianionic oxygen atoms of each of two molecules of the mononuclear copper(II) complexes. The data support the proposed structure of H₂Pymdo and its Cu(II) complexes.     

New molecular magnetic metals: κ-(BDH-TTP)4CuCl4·(H2O)n and κ-(BDH-TTP)2[CuCl4]0.67·(H2O)0.33 (BDH-TTP is 2,5-bis(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene)

New radical cation salts based on 2,5-bis(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene (BDH-TTP), viz., κ-(BDH-TTP)₄CuCl₄·(H₂O) _n (1) and κ-(BDH-TTP)₂[CuCl₄]_0.67· ·(H₂O)_0.33 (2), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single crystals were prepared by the electrochemical oxidation of BDH-TTP under galvanostatic conditions. The X-ray diffraction study showed that the salts have layered structures characterized by the presence of κ-type BDH-TTP conducting layers. These layers alternate with the complex anions composed of [CuCl₄]²⁻ units and water molecules. Both salts exhibit the temperature dependence of the metallic conductivity down to 4.2 K. Spin-spin antiferromagnetic correlations in the Cu²⁺ subsystem were observed in the crystals of 2.     

Sulfanilamide copper(II) chelates with 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl-imino)methyl]phenolom and 1-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)-methyl]naphthalen-2-ol

2-[(2-Hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]phenol (H²L¹) and 1-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]naphthalen-2-ol (H²L²) reacted with copper(II) acetate hydrate and sulfanilamide (Sf¹), sulfathiazole (Sf²), sulfaethidole (Sf³), sulfadiazine (Sf⁴), and sulfadimidine (Sf⁵) in ethanol to give mixed-ligand copper chelates with the composition Cu(Sf^1–5)(L^1–2) · n H₂O (n = 1, 2). All these complexes are monomeric. Salicylaldehyde imines (H₂L¹ and H₂L²) behave as doubly deprotonated tridentate O,N,O ligands, whereas sulfanilamides (Sf^1–5) are unidentate ligands. Thermolysis of the synthesized complexes includes dehydration at 70–90°C, followed by complete thermal decomposition (290–380°C). The complexes [Cu(Sf¹)(L¹)] · 2H₂O and [Cu(Sf³)(L¹)] · H₂O at a concentration of 10⁻⁴ M inhibited growth and reproduction of 100% of human myeloid leukemia cells (HL-60). The inhibitory effect was 90 and 75%, respectively, at a concentration of 10⁻⁵ M, whereas no antitumor activity was observed at a concentration of 10⁻⁶ M.     

First syntheses of natural products with the 2,7-dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one skeleton

2,7-Dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 11 (DHBOA) and 2,4,7-trihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 14 (TRIBOA) representing aglucones of naturally occurring acetal glucoside type allelo chemicals found in Gramineae have been for the first time synthesized by two pathways both involving selective reductive cyclizations of appropriate 7-benzyloxy-2-nitrophenol derivatives as precursors. TRIBOA 14 and its bioactive naturally occurring 7-methyl ether DIMBOA have been found to undergo a hitherto unknown transformation to the corresponding 2,6-dibromo substituted lactam forms 20 and 21 in the presence of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid, which is of value in a better understanding of the possible mode of bioactivity.     

Polymeric and monomeric dipicolinate complexes with 4-hydroxymethyl pyridine: spectral, structural, thermal and electrochemical characterization

Polymeric copper(II), [Cu(μ-dpc)(μ-4-hymp)] _n (1), and monomeric nickel(II), [Ni(dpc)(4-hymp)(H₂O)₂]·H₂O (2), (dpc: dipicolinate, 4-hymp: 4-hydroxymethyl pyridine), dipicolinate complexes have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic (IR, UV–Vis, EPR), thermal (TG/DTA), X-ray diffraction technique and electrochemical methods. In both the dipicolinate complexes, the dpc dianion acts as a tridentate ligand. In polymeric copper(II) complex, the 4-hymp and dpc ligands adopt a bridging position between the Cu(II) centers, forming the elongated octahedral geometry. The polymeric chains are linked to one another via O–H···O hydrogen bond interactions, forming the 3-D polymeric structure. The Ni(II) ion is bonded to dpc ligand through pyridine N atom together with one O atom of each carboxylate group, two aqua ligands and N pyridine atom of 4-hymp, forming the distorted octahedral geometry. The Ni(II) complexes are connected to one another via O–H···O hydrogen bonds, forming R ₄²(18) motifs in 2-D pattern. The powder EPR spectra of copper(II) complex have indicated that the paramagnetic center is in rhombic symmetry with the Cu²⁺ ion having distorted octahedral geometry. IR and UV–Vis spectroscopes all agree with the observed crystal structure.     

Synthesis,characterization and X-ray crystal structures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-2-pyridinyl carbonyl-2-pyridine carboximidate copper(II) complexes

Two copper complexes, [Cu(bpca)(4,4′-bpyH)(H₂O)(ClO₄)]ClO₄·H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(bpca)₄(mpba)]·3H₂O (2) [bpca = N-2-pyridinylcarbonyl-2-pyridine-carboximidate; mpba = 1,3-phenylenebis(oxamate)] were synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques. Complex 1 crystallizes in the Triclinic P-1 space group while complex 2 is in the Monoclinic space group C2/c. Bpca acts as a tridentate ligand through its three nitrogen atoms in these species. They exhibit 2D supramolecular architectures through hydrogen bonds and short-distance intermolecular interactions. Magnetic measurements in the range 2–300 K have shown weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the adjacent copper ions in complex 2.

Oxidative coupling polymerization of 2,3‐dihydroxynaphthalene with dinuclear‐type copper(II) catalyst

The oxidative coupling polymerization of 2,3‐dihydroxynaphthalene with the novel dinuclear‐type copper(II) catalysts successfully produced poly(2,3‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐naphthylene). For example, the MeOH‐insoluble polymer with a number average molecular weight of 4.4 × 10³ from the polymerization using the complex of CuCl₂ and N,N′‐bis(2‐morpholinoethyl)‐p‐xylylenediamine ( p ‐ 1 ) at room temperature under an O₂ atmosphere followed by acetylation of the hydroxyl groups was obtained in 63% yield. The structures of the tetraamine ligands and the counter anion of the copper(II) salts significantly influenced the catalyst activity. The polymerization of 2,2′‐dimethoxy‐1,1′‐binaphthalene‐3,3′‐diol with the 2CuCl₂‐ p ‐ 1 catalyst, however, resulted in a lower yield. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Structures of CoII and ZnII complexes of the proton‐transfer compound derived from pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid and piperazine

The reaction of the proton‐transfer compound piperazine‐1,4‐diium pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylate 4.5‐hydrate, C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·C₆H₂N₂O₄²⁻·4.5H₂O or (pipzH₂)(pyzdc)·4.5H₂O (pyzdcH₂ is pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid and pipz is piperazine), (I), with Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and CoCl₂·6H₂O results in the formation of bis(piperazine‐1,4‐diium) bis(μ‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato)‐κ³N¹,O²:O³;κ³O³:N¹,O²‐bis[aqua(pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ²N¹,O²)zinc(II)] decahydrate, (C₄H₁₂N₂)₂[Zn₂(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₄(H₂O)₂]·10H₂O or (pipzH₂)₂[Zn(pyzdc)₂(H₂O)]₂·10H₂O, (II), and catena‐poly[piperazine‐1,4‐diium [cobalt(II)‐bis(μ‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato)‐κ³N¹,O²:O³;κ³O³:N¹,O²] hexahydrate], {(C₄H₁₂N₂)[Co(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₂]·6H₂O}_n or {(pipzH₂)[Co(pyzdc)₂]·6H₂O}_n, (III), respectively. In (I), pyzdcH₂ is doubly deprotonated on reaction with piperazine as a base. Compound (II) crystallizes as a dimer, whereas compound (III) exists as a one‐dimensional coordination polymer. In (II), two pyzdc²⁻ groups chelate to each of the two Zn^II atoms through a ring N atom and an O atom of the 2‐carboxylate group. In one ligand, the adjacent 3‐carboxylate group bridges to a neighbouring metal atom. A water molecule ligates in the sixth coordination site. The structure of (II) can be described as a commensurate superlattice due to an ordering in the hydrogen‐bonded network. In (III), no water is coordinated to the metal atom and the coordination sphere is comprised of two N,O‐chelates plus two bridging O atoms. A large number of hydrogen bonds are observed in all three compounds. These interactions, as well as π–π and C=O...π stacking interactions, play important structural roles.
