One pot diastereoselective synthesis of new chiral spiro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles and 1,4,2‐oxathiazoles from (1R)‐thiocamphor

Herein we report an efficient one pot synthesis of new chiral 4,5‐dihydro‐4‐arylspiro[1,3,4‐thiadiazole]‐5,2′‐camphane‐2‐carboxylic acid ethyl esters 5–7 and 4,5‐dihydro‐3‐arylspiro[1,4,2‐oxathiazole]‐5,2′‐camphane 11–13 , using 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines 2–4 and nitrile oxides 8–10 to (1R)‐thiocamphor 1 respectively. The structure of the newly prepared 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles 5–7 (obtained as pure diastereoisomers) were fully established via spectroscopic analysis and X‐ray structural analysis which proved the absolute configuration of the C5 spiranic carbon to be (R). NMR spectral analysis were also very useful to show the new 1,4,2‐oxathiazoles 11–13 are mixtures of two (5R)/(5S) diastereoisomers with the ratio 6:4,7:3 and 6:4 respectively.     

Synthesis of some new pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidines and their ribofuranosides as possible antimicrobial agents

The ribofuranosides, namely, 4‐amino‐5,7‐disubstituted‐1‐[2′,3′,5′‐tri‐O‐benzoyl‐α‐d ‐ribofuranosyl]pyrido‐[2,3‐d] pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thiones, have been synthesized by the condensation of trimethylsilyl derivatives of 5,7‐disubstituted pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thiones with β‐d ‐ribofuranose‐1‐acetate‐2,3,5‐tribenzoate in the presence of SnCl₄. The heterocyclic bases, namely, 4‐amino‐5,7‐disubstituted pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thiones, were synthesized by the treatment of 2‐amino‐3‐cyano‐4,6‐disubstituted pyridines with thiourea. The structures of all the synthesized ribofuranosides and their precursors have been established by elemental analysis, IR, and ¹H NMR spectral data. The ¹³C NMR data of ribofuranosides has also been presented. All the synthesized heterocyclic bases and their ribofuranosides have been screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Ring‐Opening and polymerization of 1‐[2′‐(heptaphenylcyclotetrasiloxanyl)ethyl]‐1,3,3,5,5‐pentamethylcyclotrisiloxane

1‐[2′‐(Heptaphenylcyclotetrasiloxanyl)ethyl]‐1,3,3,5,5‐pentamethylcyclotetrasiloxane ( II ) was prepared from 1‐[2′‐(methyldichlorosilyl)ethyl]‐1,3,3,5,5,7,7‐heptaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane ( I ) and tetramethyldisiloxane‐1,3‐diol. Acid‐catalyzed ring‐opening of II in the presence of tetramethyldisiloxane gave 1,9‐dihydrido‐5‐[2′‐(heptaphenylcyclotetrasiloxanyl)ethyl]nonamethylpentasiloxane ( III ) and 1,9‐dihydrido‐3‐[2′‐(heptaphenylcyclotetrasiloxanyl)ethyl]nonamethylpentasiloxane ( IV ). Both acid‐ and base‐catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization of II gives highly viscous, transparent polymers. The structures of I – IV and polymers were determined by UV, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy. In addition, molecular weights obtained by GPC and NMR end group analysis were confirmed with mass spectrometry. On the basis of ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy, the polymers appear to result exclusively from ring‐opening of the cyclotrisiloxane ring. No evidence for ring‐opening of the cyclotetrasiloxane ring was observed. Polymer properties were determined by DSC and TGA. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Diorganotin(IV) compounds derived from n‐methyl‐2,2′‐diphenolamine and 2,2′‐diphenolamine

The reaction of N‐methyl‐2,2′‐diphenolamine 1 and 2,2′‐diphenolamine 2 with some diorganotin(IV) oxides [R1/2SnO: R¹ = Me, n‐Bu, t‐Bu and Ph] led to the syntheses of diorgano[N‐methyl‐2,2′‐diphenolato‐O,O′,N]tin (IV) 3–6 and diorgano[2,2′‐diphenolato‐O,O′,N]tin (IV) 7–9 . All compounds (except 7 ) studied in this work were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, infrared, and mass spectroscopy. Their ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data show that the tin atom is tetracoordinated in CDCl₃ but penta and hexacoordinated in DMSO‐d₆. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 10: 133–139, 1999     

Synthesis and evaluation of new dental monomers with both phosphonic and carboxylic acid functional groups

Novel dental monomers containing both phosphonic and carboxylic acid functional groups were prepared. The monomers were based on t‐butyl α‐bromomethacrylate (t‐BuBMA) and synthesized in three steps: The reaction of o‐hydroxyaryl phosphonates [diethyl (2‐hydroxyphenyl) phosphonate, tetraethyl (2,5‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐phenylene) diphosphonate and tetraethyl 5,5′‐(propane‐2,2‐diyl)bis(2‐hydroxy‐5,1‐ phenylene) diphosphonate] with t‐BuBMA, the hydrolysis of phosphonate groups to phosphonic acid using trimethyl silylbromide, and the hydrolysis of the t‐butyl groups to carboxylic acid with trifluoroacetic acid. The monomers were solids and soluble in water and ethanol. The structures of the monomers were determined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The copolymerization behaviors of the synthesized monomers with glycerol dimethacrylate were first investigated in bulk using photodifferential scanning calorimetry at 40 °C with 2,2′‐dimethoxy‐2‐phenyl acetophenone as photoinitiator. Then, the solution copolymerization of the monomers with acrylamide in ethanol and water was studied, indicating that the synthesized monomers are incorporated into the copolymers. The acidic nature of the aqueous solutions of these monomers (pH values 1.72–1.87) is expected to give them etching properties important for dental applications. The interaction of the monomers with hydroxyapatite was investigated using ¹³C NMR and FTIR techniques. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 1953–1965, 2009     

Syntheses of some new 1H‐pyrazole,pyridazin‐3(2H)‐one,and oxazin‐4‐one derivatives

The new 1H‐pyrazole‐3‐carboxylic acid 2 , pyridazin‐3(2H)‐one 3 , and their various derivatives were prepared by the reactions of the 4‐benzoyl‐5‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐2,3‐furandione 1 and 2,5‐dichlorophenylhydrazine. Pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyridazine 7 was obtained from cyclization of the pyrazole‐3‐carboxylic acid 2 with 2,5‐dichlorophenylhydrazine. The reaction of 1 and pyrazole‐3‐carbonitriles 6 gave the new oxazin‐4‐one 9 derivatives. The structures of compounds were characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, mass, IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectra. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We report here a one step synthesis of a new series of bis‐[1,2,4‐triazolo][4,3‐a:3′,4′‐d][1,5]benzodiazepines 3a–e and [1,2,4]oxadiazolo[5,4‐d][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a][1,5]benzodiazepines 5a–c by the condensation reactions of diarylnitrilimines and arylonitrile oxides. This 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition is completely regioselective. The structure of these products has been confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C NMR and mass spectroscopic.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Five New Coordination Polymers Based on Benzophenone‐2, 4′‐dicarboxylic Acid and N‐Donor Spacers

Five new coordination polymers, namely, [Ni₂(L)₂(4, 4′‐bipy)₃)] · H₂O]_n ( 1 ), [Ni₂(L)₂(O) (bpp)₂]_n ( 2 ), [Zn(L)(bib)_0.5]_n ( 3 ), [Zn(L)(PyBIm)]_n ( 4 ), and [Zn₃(L)₂(OH)(im)]_n ( 5 ) [H₂L = benzophenone‐2, 4′‐dicarboxylic acid, 4, 4′‐bipy = 4, 4′‐bipyridine, bpp = 1, 3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane, PyBIm = 2‐(4‐pyridyl)benzimidazole, and im = imidazole] were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Structure determination revealed that compound 1 is a 3D network and exhibits a 4‐connected metal‐organic framework with (4².6³.8) topology, whereas compounds 2 , 3 , 4 , and 5 are two‐dimensional layer structures. In compounds 2 – 4 , dinuclear metal clusters are formed through carboxylic groups. In compound 5 , trinuclear metal clusters are formed through μ₃‐OH and carboxylic groups. The carboxylic groups exhibit three coordination modes in compounds 1 – 5 : monodentately, bidentate‐chelating, and bis‐monodentately. Furthermore, the luminescent properties for compounds 3 , 4 , and 5 were investigated.

Three novel ferrocenyl Schiff base ligands containing pyridine moiety have been formed by 1:2 molar condensation of 1,1′‐diacetylferrocene with 2‐aminopyridine, 2‐amino‐5‐picoline or 2‐amino‐5‐chloropyridine, respectively. The ligands are 1,1′‐bis[1‐(pyridyl‐2‐imino)‐ethyl]ferrocene (L1); 1,1′‐bis[1‐(5‐methyl‐pyridyl‐2‐imino)ethyl]ferrocene (L2) and 1,1′‐bis[1‐(5‐chloropyridyl‐2‐imino)ethyl]ferrocene (L3). These ligands form 1:1 complexes with Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) ions. The prepared ligands and their complexes have been characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV/Vis spectra as well as elemental analysis. The spectral data of the ligands and their complexes are discussed in connection with the structural changes due to complexation.     

A Convenient 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition Reaction for the Synthesis of Spirooxindoles and Some Other Spirocompounds Containing the 1,3,4‐Oxadiazole Moiety

A series of spiro[indoline‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]oxadiazol]‐2‐ones were prepared from the reaction of isatin derivatives and hydrazonoyl chlorides through the 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction. This method has some important aspects, such as mild reaction condition, easy purification, and high yield of products. Also, the synthesis of spiro[acenaphthylene‐1,2′‐[1,3,4]oxadiazol]‐2‐one and spiro[[1,3,4]oxadiazole‐2,9′‐phenanthren]‐10′‐one were studied under the same condition. The structures were confirmed spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for this reaction is proposed.     

Synthesis,Voltammetric and Analytical Applications of Some Fluorine Substituted Spirosteroidalthiazolidin‐4‐one Derivatives of Sulfa Drugs

A new 5‐arylidene‐4‐oxo‐(sulfonamoyl phenyl)‐spiro[thiazolidinone‐2,2′‐steroids] series (7–10) was prepared by condensation of sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine and sulfadiazine sulfa drugs with testosterone, epiandrosterone and progesterone steroids, respectively. The resultant imino derivatives 1–3 upon cycloaddition with thioacetic acid in dry 1,4‐dioxane afforded 3‐sulfo‐namoylphenylspiro[4‐oxo‐thiazolidin‐2,2′steroids] (4–6). The latter compounds (4–6) upon condensation with p‐fluorobenzaldehyde in ethanol‐piperidine yielded the corresponding 4‐fluoroarylidene derivatives 7, 8 & 9, respectively. All the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by UV, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass spectral data, elemental analysis and molecular weight determination. In vitro antimicrobial screening of some of the synthesized compounds showed good antimicrobial activities towards some pathogenic Gram‐positive, Gram‐negative bacteria and fungi vs. piperacillin and mycostatine antibiotics as standard antibacterial and antifungal agents, respectively. The voltammetric behavior of two newly spirothiazolidinone steroids ( 2a & 5a ) was critically studied. Compound 5a physically immobilized polyurethane foam solid sorbent was successfully used for removal and/or separation of bismuth(III) from water.     

Synthesis,characterization and DNA binding and photocleavage studies of [Ru(bpy)2BDPPZ]2+, [Ru(dmb)2BDPPZ]2+ and [Ru(phen)2BDPPZ]2+ complexes and their antimicrobial activity

Polypyridyl ligand 9a,13a‐dihydro‐4,5,9,14‐tetraaza‐benzo[b]triphenylene‐11‐yl)‐phenyl‐methanone (BDPPZ) and its complexes [Ru(bpy)₂BDPPZ]²⁺, [Ru(dmb)₂BDPPZ]²⁺ and [Ru(phen)₂BDPPZ]²⁺ (where bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, dmb = 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR and mass spectra. The DNA‐binding properties of the complexes were investigated by absorption, emission, melting temperature and viscosity measurements. Experimental results indicate that the three complexes can intercalate into DNA base pairs. Photo activated cleavage of pBR‐322 DNA by the three complexes was also studied. Further, all three Ru(II) complexes synthesized were screened for their antimicrobial activity. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Reaction of N‐Heterocyclic Silylenes with Thioketone: Formation of Silicon–Sulfur Three (Si‐C‐S)‐ and Five (Si‐C‐C‐C‐S)‐Membered Ring Systems

Three‐ and five‐membered rings that bear the (Si‐C‐S ) and (Si‐C‐C‐C‐S ) unit have been synthesized by the reactions of L SiCl ( 1 ; L =PhC(NtBu)₂) and L′ Si ( 2 ; L′ =CH{(C?CH₂)(CMe)(2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃N)₂}) with the thioketone 4,4′‐bis(dimethylamino)thiobenzophenone. Treatment of 4,4′‐bis(dimethylamino)thiobenzophenone with L SiCl at room temperature furnished the [1+2]‐cycloaddition product silathiacyclopropane 3 . However, reaction of 4,4′‐bis(dimethylamino)thiobenzophenone with L′ Si at low temperature afforded a [1+4]‐cycloaddition to yield the five‐membered ring product 4 . Compounds 3 and 4 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, EIMS, and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of 3 and 4 were unambiguously established by single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis. The room‐temperature reaction of 4,4′‐bis(dimethylamino)thiobenzophenone with L′ Si resulted in products 4 and 5 , in which 4 is the dearomatized product and 5 is formed under the 1,3‐migration of a hydrogen atom from the aromatic phenyl ring to the carbon atom of the C? S unit. Furthermore, the optimized structures of probable products were investigated by using DFT calculations.

Synthesis and functionalization of Poly[5,5′‐(silylene)‐2,2′‐dithienylene]s using silyl triflate intermediates†

Treatment of 5,5′‐dilithio‐2,2′‐dithiophene with (dimethylamino)methylsily bis(triflate)‐ or α, ω‐bis(triflate)‐substituted trisilanes gave poly[5,5′‐(silylene)‐2,2′‐dithienylene]s in high yields. The amino–silyl bond was cleaved selectively by triflic acid, leading to triflate‐substituted derivatives. Conversion of these compounds with nucleophiles gave other functionalized polymers. Platinum‐catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions between silicon–vinyl and silicon–hydrogen derivatives result in polymer networks which may serve as interesting preceramic materials. The structures of the polymers were proven by NMR spectroscopy (²⁹Si, ¹³C, ¹H). Results of thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), UV spectrometry and conductivity measurements are given.

Pd(II)‐catalyzed polymerization of optically active norbornene carboxylic acid esters

(?)‐(1S,2R)‐Norbornene‐2‐carboxylic acid alkyl esters (alkyl = Me, Bz, L ‐menthyl, or D ‐menthyl) were successfully prepared by the Diels–Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with (R)‐(?)‐pantolactone‐O‐yl acrylate followed by epimerization and column chromatography. The enantiomeric excess was 99.9%. These monomers were polymerized by Pd(II)‐based catalysts, and high yields of the polymers were obtained. The methyl ester gave an optically active polymer of high optical rotation (monomer [α]_D = ?24.7, polymer [α]_D = ?98.5). This high rotation value of the polymer was attributed to the isotactic chain regulation of the polymer. This high rotation was not observed with methyl esters prepared by the transesterification of menthyl esters. The stereoregular polymer exhibited notable resonance peaks at 39 ppm in ¹³C NMR spectra. No crystallinity was observed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 1263–1270, 2006
