Conversion of 3‐amino‐4‐arylamino‐1H‐isochromen‐1‐ones to 1‐arylisochromeno[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazol‐5(1H)‐ones: synthesis,spectroscopic characterization and the structures of four products and one ring‐opened derivative

An efficient synthesis of 1‐arylisochromeno[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazol‐5(1H)‐ones, involving the diazotization of 3‐amino‐4‐arylamino‐1H‐isochromen‐1‐ones in weakly acidic solution, has been developed and the spectroscopic characterization and crystal structures of four examples are reported. The molecules of 1‐phenylisochromeno[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazol‐5(1H)‐one, C₁₅H₉N₃O₂, (I), are linked into sheets by a combination of C—H…N and C—H…O hydrogen bonds, while the structures of 1‐(2‐methylphenyl)isochromeno[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazol‐5(1H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₁N₃O₂, (II), and 1‐(3‐chlorophenyl)isochromeno[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazol‐5(1H)‐one, C₁₅H₈ClN₃O₂, (III), each contain just one hydrogen bond which links the molecules into simple chains, which are further linked into sheets by π‐stacking interactions in (II) but not in (III). In the structure of 1‐(4‐chlorophenyl)isochromeno[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazol‐5(1H)‐one, (IV), isomeric with (III), a combination of C—H…O and C—H…π(arene) hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets. When compound (II) was exposed to a strong acid in methanol, quantitative conversion occurred to give the ring‐opened transesterification product methyl 2‐[4‐hydroxy‐1‐(2‐methylphenyl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐5‐yl]benzoate, C₁₇H₁₅N₃O₃, (V), where the molecules are linked by paired O—H…O hydrogen bonds to form centrosymmetric dimers.     

Crystal structure of 1:1 Complexes between urea and two crown ether derivatives of phthalic acid, 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-decahydrobenzo[1,4,7,10,13,16]hexaoxacyclo-octadecin-18,19-dicarboxylic acid (i) and 2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octahydro-benzo[1,4,7,10,13]pentaoxacyclopentadecin-15,16-dicarboxylic acid (II)

The crystal structures of the titlke compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Urea, I crystallizes in the triclinic PI space group with cell dimensions a = 8.336(2), b = 11.009(2), c = 13.313(2) Å, α = 105.55(3), β = 103.62(3), γ = 104.63(3)° and Z = 2 final R value 0.072 for 2105 observations. Urea, II crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2₁2₁2₁ space group with cell dimensions a = 8.750(2), b = 10.844(3) and c = 21.215(3) Å and Z = 4, final R value 0.083 for 599 observations. All the hydrogen atoms were located in the complex urea, I ; urea molecules form hydrogen bonded dimers about centers of symmetry, these dimers are sandwiched between macrocyclic rings forming one simple and one bifurcated hydrogen bond from the “endo” hydrogen atoms to the ether oxygen atoms. These units are held by hydrogen bonding between the urea molecules and carboxylic acids in two other units; these hydrogen bonds are cyclic involving eight atoms -(N-H(exo)…O(keto)-C-O-H…O(urea)-C)-. Only one carboxylic acid group per molecule takes part in these hydrogen bonds, the other forms a short, 2.490(7) Å, internal bond to the acceptor keto oxygen atom. N(H)…O bonds range from 2.930(7) to 3.206(7) Å, O(H)…O is 2.475(6) Å. In the complex urea, II each urea is hydrogen bonded to three different host molecules and vice versa; the urea “endo” hydrogen atoms bond to the ether oxygen atoms, while both “exo” hydrogen atoms take part in cyclic hydrogen bonds to carboxylic acids. There is not internal hydrogen bond. N(H)…O bonds range from 2.83 to 3.26(2) A and the O-…O bonds are 2.55 and 2.56(2) Å.     

Ion chemistry of 1H-1,2,3-triazole

A combination of experimental methods, photoelectron-imaging spectroscopy, flowing afterglow-photoelectron spectroscopy and the flowing afterglow-selected ion flow tube technique, and electronic structure calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of density functional theory (DFT) have been employed to study the mechanism of the reaction of the hydroxide ion (HO-) with 1H-1,2,3-triazole. Four different product ion species have been identified experimentally, and the DFT calculations suggest that deprotonation by HO- at all sites of the triazole takes place to yield these products. Deprotonation of 1H-1,2,3-triazole at the N1-H site gives the major product ion, the 1,2,3-triazolide ion. The 335 nm photoelectron-imaging spectrum of the ion has been measured. The electron affinity (EA) of the 1,2,3-triazolyl radical has been determined to be 3.447 +/- 0.004 eV. This EA and the gas-phase acidity of 2H-1,2,3-triazole are combined in a negative ion thermochemical cycle to determine the N-H bond dissociation energy of 2H-1,2,3-triazole to be 112.2 +/- 0.6 kcal mol-1. The 363.8 nm photoelectron spectroscopic measurements have identified the other three product ions. Deprotonation of 1H-1,2,3-triazole at the C5 position initiates fragmentation of the ring structure to yield a minor product, the ketenimine anion. Another minor product, the iminodiazomethyl anion, is generated by deprotonation of 1H-1,2,3-triazole at the C4 position, followed by N1-N2 bond fission. Formation of the other minor product, the 2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-ide ion, can be rationalized by initial deprotonation of 1H-1,2,3-triazole at the N1-H site and subsequent proton exchanges within the ion-molecule complex. The EA of the 2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl radical is 1.865 +/- 0.004 eV.

Investigations of the hydrogen bond in the crystals of tropolone and thiotropolone via car-parrinello and path integral molecular dynamics

Car-Parrinello and path integrals molecular dynamics (CPMD and PIMD) simulations were carried out for the 10π-electron aromatic systems: 2-hydroxy-2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, commonly known as Tropolone (I) and 2-hydroxy-2,4,6-cycloheptatriene-1-thione, called Thiotropolone (II) in vacuo and in the solid state. The extremely fast proton transfer (FPT) and “prototropy” tautomerism in the keto-enol (thione-enethiol) systems have been analyzed on the basis of CPMD and PIMD methods level. Comparisons of two-dimensional (2D) free-energy landscapes of reaction coordinate δ-parameter and R_O…O or R_O…S distances shows that the OH… tautomer to be more favorable in the Thiotropolone. The hydrogen between the oxygen and the sulfur atoms adopts a starkly asymmetrical position in the double potential well. The values of the energy barriers for the FPT were calculated and suggested a strong hydrogen bond with low barrier for FPT mechanism. These studies and the 2D average index of π-delocalization 〈λ〉 landscape of time evolutions of R_O1…O2 and R_C7O2 or R_C7S1 distances for the both crystals indicate that hydrogen bonds in the crystals of Tropolone (I) and Thiotropolone (II) have characteristic properties for the type of bonding model resonance-assisted hydrogen bonds and also low-barrier hydrogen bonds. In the crystal of the Thiotropolone (II), we found the hydrogen bond O H…S existing without the equilibrium of the two tautomers whereas in the crystal of the Tropolone (I) has been confirmed the hydrogen bond O H…O existing with the equilibrium of the two tautomers. It was also found the significant differences in frequency, speed, and the image of the FPT in the studied crystals. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1,2,3-三氮杂苯-水复合物氢键相互作用

Density functional theory B3LYP method with 6-31++G** basis was used to optimize the geometries of the ground states for 1,2,3-triazine-(H2O)n (n=1,2,3) complexes. All calculations indicate that the 1,2,3-triazine-water complexes in the ground states have strong hydrogen-bonding interaction, and the complex having a N…H-O hydrogen bond and a chain of water molecules which is terminated by a O…H-C hydrogen bond is the most stable.

Synthesis,crystal structure and studies on the interaction with albumin of a new silver(I) complex based on 2‐(4‐nitrobenzenesulfonamido)benzoic acid

In the present work, the two‐dimensional (2D) polymer poly[[μ₄‐2‐(4‐nitrobenzenesulfonamido)benzoato‐κ⁴O¹:O¹:O^1′:N⁶]silver(I)] (AgL), [Ag(C₁₃H₉N₂O₆S)]_n, was obtained from 2‐(4‐nitrobenzenesulfonamido)benzoic acid (HL), C₁₃H₁₀N₂O₆S. FT–IR, ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopic analyses were used to characterize both compounds. The crystal structures of HL and AgL were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In the structure of HL, O—H…O hydrogen bonds between neighbouring molecules result in the formation of dimers, while the silver(I) complex shows polymerization associated with the O atoms of three distinct deprotonated ligands (L^?). Thus, the structure of the Ag complex can be considered as a coordination polymer consisting of a one‐dimensional linear chain, constructed by carboxylate bridging groups, running parallel to the b axis. Neighbouring polymeric chains are further bridged by Ag—C monohapto contacts, resulting in a 2D framework. Fingerprint analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces show that O…H/H…O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the most significant contacts in the crystal packing of HL and AgL, followed by the H…H and O…C/C…O interactions. The Ag…Ag, Ag…O/O…Ag and Ag…C/C…Ag interactions in the Hirshfeld surface represent 12.1% of the total interactions in the crystal packing. Studies of the interactions of the compounds with human serum albumin (HSA) indicated that both HL and AgL interact with HSA.

Secondary Bonding,C═H…O Hydrogen Bonding Assisted Supramolecular Associations and Charge Transfer (CT) Complexes of Organotelluriums and their Nonlinear Optical Properties

Abstract

A library of supramolecular assemblies of acyclic- and cyclic organotelluriums assisted by intermolecular Te… X (X = Cl, Br, I, O, S) secondary bonds has been synthesized and X-ray characterized. In each case the immediate coordination geometry around the central Te atom is pseudotrigonal bipyramidal in which two methylene carbon atoms (attached to Te) in cyclic organotelluriums and methyl carbon atoms in acyclic organotelluriums and the stereochemically active electron lone pair occupy equatorial positions whereas the axial positions are occupied by halogen, oxygen or sulphur. They exists either as (a) ordered oligomers (trimeric, tetrameric, octameric aggregates) (b) cross linked chains, (c) zig-zag ?2 dimensional ribbons and stairs, and (d) 3-dimensional supramolecular networks. It is observed that the supramolecular associations assisted by Te…O and Te…S secondary bonds are modified whereas those assisted by Te…halogen remain more or less the same vis-à-vis the supramolecular associations present in their precursors in the solid state. The first detection of C─H…O hydrogen bonds in organotellurium compounds has been done and their use in the synthesis of tellurium essential and ligand essential supramolecular assemblies is demonstrated. Tetraorganotelluroxanes obtained by easy and efficient routes represent the examples of cooperative participation of intermolecular and intramolecular Te…O secondary bonds and C─H…O hydrogen bonds. Hypervalent Te─I (formed through n → σ* orbital interactions) bonds in cyclic telluranes act as potential synthons for the formation of CT complexes possessing unusual structures. The utility of organotelluriums in the serendipitous synthesis of the first triphenyl methyl phosphonium salts of [C₄H₈TeI₄]^2? and [TeI₆]^2? anions is shown. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of some of these new supramolecular assemblies of organotelluriums indicates that the presence of C─H…O hydrogen bonds enhances their non linear optical (NLO) properties.
