Neglected bidentate sp2 N-donor carrier ligands with triazine nitrogen lone pairs: platinum complexes retromodeling cisplatin guanine nucleobase adducts

Rapid rotation of guanine base derivatives about Pt-N7 bonds results in fluxional behavior of models of the key DNA intrastrand G-G cross-link leading to anticancer activity of Pt(II) drugs (G = deoxyguanosine). This behavior impedes the characterization of LPtG2 models (L = one bidentate or two cis-unidentate carrier ligands; G = guanine derivative not linked by a phosphodiester group). We have examined the formation of LPtG2 adducts with G = 5'- and 3'-GMP and L = sp(2) N-donor bidentate carrier ligands [5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (5,5'-Me2bipy), 3-(4'-methylpyridin-2'-yl)-5,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine) (MepyMe2t), and bis-3,3'-(5,6-dialkyl-1,2,4-triazine) (R4dt)]. NMR spectroscopy provided conclusive evidence that these LPt(5'-GMP)2 complexes exist as interconverting mixtures of head-to-tail (HT) and head-to-head (HH) conformers. For a given G, the rates of G base rotation about the Pt-N7 bonds of LPtG2 models decrease in the order Me4dt > Et4dt > MepyMe2t > 5,5'-Me2bipy. This order reveals that the pyridyl ring C6 atom + H atom grouping is large enough to impede the rotation, but the equivalently placed triazine ring N atom + N lone pair grouping is sterically less impeding. For the first time, the two possible HH conformers (HHa and HHb) in the case of an unsymmetrical L have been identified in our study of (MepyMe2t)Pt(5'-GMP)2. Although O6-O6 clashes involving the two cis G bases favor the HT over the HH arrangement for most LPtG2-type complexes, the HH conformer of (R4dt)Pt(5'-GMP)2 adducts has a high abundance (approximately 50%). We attribute this high abundance to a reduction in O6-O6 steric clashes permitted by the overall low steric effects of R4dt ligands. Under the reaction conditions used, 3'-GMP forms a higher abundance of the LPt(GMP)2 adduct than does 5'-GMP, a result attributable to more favorable second-sphere communication in the LPt(3'-GMP)2 adduct than in the LPt(5'-GMP)2 adduct.     

Electronic properties, redox behavior, and interactions with H2O2 of pH-sensitive hydroxyphenyl-1,2,4-triazole-based oxovanadium(V) complexes

The syntheses and spectroscopic characterization of two 1,2,4-triazole-based oxovanadium(V) complexes are reported: 1- [VO2L1]- and 2 [(VOL2)2(OMe)2] (where H2L1 = 3-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(pyridin-2' '-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, H3L2 = bis-3,5-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole). The ligand environment (N,N,O vs O,N,O) is found to have a profound influence on the properties and reactivity of the complexes formed. The presence of the triazolato ligand allows for pH tuning of the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties, as well as the interaction and stability of the complexes in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The vanadium(IV) oxidation states were generated electrochemically and characterized by UV-vis and EPR spectroscopies. For 2, under acidic conditions, rapid exchange of the methoxide ligands with solvent [in particular, in the vanadium(IV) redox state] was observed.     

Synthesis, structure, and catalytic properties of V(IV), Mn(III), Mo(VI), and U(VI) complexes containing bidentate (N, O) oxazine and oxazoline ligands

Synthesis of seven complexes containing oxazoline ([(L(1))(2)V=O] (4), [(L(1))(2)MoO(2)] (5), [(L(1))(2)UO(2)] (6); HL(1) (1) [HL(1) = 2-(4',4'-dimethyl-3'-4'-dihydroxazol-2'-yl)phenol]), chiral oxazoline ([(L(2))(2)UO(2)] (7); HL(2) (2) [HL(2) = (4'R)-2-(4'-ethyl-3'4'-dihyroxazol-2'-yl)phenol]), and oxazine ([(L(3))(2)V=O] (8), [(L(3))(2)Mn(CH(3)COO(-))] (9), [(L(3))(2)Co] (10); HL(3) (3) [HL(3) = 2-(5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazolinyl)phenol]) and their characterization by various techniques such as UV-vis, IR, and EPR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, and elemental analysis are reported. The novel oxazine (3) and complexes 4, 5, 8 and 9 were also characterized by X-ray crystallography. Oxazine 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with the P2(1)/n space group, complexes 4 and 9 crystallize in the monoclinic system with the P2(1)/c space group, and complexes 5 and 8 crystallize in the orthorhombic system with the C222(1) space group and the P2(1)2(1)2(1) chiral space group, respectively. The representative synthetic procedure involves the reaction of metal acetate or acetylacetonate derivatives with corresponding ligand in ethanol. Addition of Mn(OAc)(2).4H(2)O to an ethanol solution of 3 gave the unexpected complex Mn(L(3))(2).(CH(3)COO(-)) (9) where the acetate group is coordinated with the metal center in a bidentate fashion. The catalytic activity of complexes 4-9 for oxidation of styrene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide was tested. In all cases, benzaldehyde formed exclusively as the oxidation product.

Halocyclization of 3-{[2-methyl(bromo)prop-2-en-1-yl]-sulfanyl}-5<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]indoles

Reactions of 3-[(2-bromoprop-2-en-1-yl)sulfanyl]-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole with bromine and of 3-[(2-methylprop-2-en-1-yl)sulfanyl]-5H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indole with iodine and bromine afforded 3-halomethyl-10H-[1,3]thiazolo[3′,2′: 2,3][1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]indol-4-ium halides whose structures were determined by ¹H NMR and X-ray analysis.     

Synthesis of 2-amino-6,7-dihydrothieno-[3′,2′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one

2-Amino-6,7-dihydrothieno[3′,2′:5,6]pyrido[2,3-rf]pyrimidin-4-one ( 1 ) was prepared in three steps from S-(3-butynyl)thiosemicarbazide hydroiodide ( 3 ) and diethyl ketomalonate. The featured step in this synthetic sequence was an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of the in situ generated 3-(3-butynylthio)-6-carboethoxy-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazine ( 9 ) to provide the key intermediate 5-carboethoxy-6-chloro-2,3-dihydrothieno-[2,3-b]pyridine ( 6 ). In the course of studies directed toward the preparation of 1 , thermolysis of 3-(3-butynyl-thio)-6-carboethoxy-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one ( 2 ) was found to involve competitive intramolecular Diels-Alder and intramolecular coplanar cycloamination processes, providing the 2,3-dihydrothieno[2,3-b]pyridin-6(7H)-one ( 4 ) and the 1,3-thiazino[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazin-3-one (5) derivatives, respectively.     

Investigation relevant to the conformation of the 17-membered Pt(d(GpG)) macrocyclic ring formed by Pt anticancer drugs with DNA: Pt complexes with a Goldilocks carrier ligand

Platinum anticancer drug DNA intrastrand cross-link models, LPt(d(G*pG*)) (G* = N7-platinated G residue, L = R(4)dt = bis-3,3'-(5,6-dialkyl)-1,2,4-triazine), and R = Me or Et), undergo slow Pt-N7 bond rotation. NMR evidence indicated four conformers (HH1, HH2, ΔHT1, and ΛHT2); these have different combinations of guanine base orientation (head-to-head, HH, or head-to-tail, HT) and sugar-phosphodiester backbone propagation relative to the 5'-G* (the same, 1, or opposite, 2, to the direction in B DNA). In previous work on LPt(d(G*pG*)) adducts, Pt-N7 rotation was too rapid to resolve conformers (small L with bulk similar to that in active drugs) or L was too bulky, allowing formation of only two or three conformers; ΛHT2 was not observed under normal conditions. The (R(4)dt)Pt(d(G*pG*)) results support our initial hypothesis that R(4)dt ligands have Goldilocks bulk, sufficient to slow G* rotation but insufficient to prevent formation of the ΛHT2 conformer. Unlike the (R(4)dt)Pt(5'-GMP)(2) adducts, ROESY spectra of (R(4)dt)Pt(d(G*pG*)) adducts showed no EXSY peaks, a result providing clear evidence that the sugar-phosphodiester backbone slows conformer interchange. Indeed, the ΛHT2 conformer formed and converted to other conformers slowly. Bulkier L (Et(4)dt versus Me(4)dt) decreased the abundance of the ΛHT2 conformer, supporting our initial hypothesis that steric crowding disfavors this conformer. The (R(4)dt)Pt(d(G*pG*)) adducts have a low abundance of the ΔHT1 conformer, consistent with the proposal that the ΔHT1 conformer has an energetically unfavorable phosphodiester backbone conformation; its high abundance when L is bulky is attributed to a small d(G*pG*) spatial footprint for the ΔHT1 conformer. Despite the Goldilocks size of the R(4)dt ligands, the bases in the (R(4)dt)Pt(d(G*pG*)) adducts have a low degree of canting, suggesting that the ligand NH groups characteristic of active drugs may facilitate canting, an important aspect of DNA distortions induced by active drugs.     

Effect of substituent in pyridine-2-carbaldehydes on their heterocyclization to 1,2,4-triazines and 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides

A series of substituted pyridine-2-carbaldehydes were brought into heterocyclization with isonitrosoacetophenone hydrazones, followed by aromatization by the action of oxidants or by dehydration in boiling acetic acid. As a result, substituted 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazines or 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides were formed. 6-Formylpyridine-2-carbonitrile failed to undergo heterocyclization, 6-methylpyridine-2-carbaldehyde and methyl 6-formylpyridine-3-carboxylate can be converted to both 1,2,4-triazine and 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxide derivative, and only 1,2,4-triazine 4 oxides were obtained from 6-bromopyridine-2-carbaldehyde and 6-formyl-3-phenylpyridine-2-carbonitrile. Convenient procedures were proposed for the synthesis of some initial pyridinecarbaldehydes.     

Structure of zinc complexes with 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(arylideneiminophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles in different tautomeric forms: DFT and QTAIM study

On the basis of X-ray crystallographic data on molecular crystals of zinc complexes with 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(arylideneiminophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles, quantum-chemical analysis of the electron density distribution function for these complexes has been performed by Bader’s atoms in molecules method. Topological parameters of electron density at the critical points of coordination and noncovalent bonds have been interpreted, and the bond energies have been estimated using the Espinosa equation. For the solvated complex Zn[(L3)(OAc)₂] · i-PrOH (L3 = 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(benzylideneiminophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole), a variable coordination number of the Zn²⁺ ion has been predicted as a result of dynamic dissociation/formation of an unstable Zn-O coordination bond. For the binuclear [Zn₂(L2)₂] complex (L2 = 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(salicylideneiminophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole), an orbital interpretation of the decrease in the fluorescence quantum yield in tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide as compared with free L2 ligand is presented.

Diethoxyphosphinyl acetic acid hydrazide: a uniquely versatile reagent for the preparation of fused [5,5]-, [5,6]-, and [5,7]-3-[(E)-2-(arylvinyl)]-1,2,4-triazoles

Diethoxyphosphinyl acetic acid hydrazide is a unique reagent that provides a convenient and efficient process to prepare fused [5,5]-, [5,6]-, and [5,7]-3-[(E)-2-(arylvinyl)]-1,2,4-triazoles from aldehydes and alkoxyimines. The process involves three steps without isolation of any intermediates to afford 1,2,4-triazoles in modest to excellent overall yield.     

Docking studies to evaluate the biological activities of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes containing the triazine unit: supported by structural,spectral, and theoretical studies

Abstract

Two complexes of 5,6-di(2-furyl)-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine (L), [Co(L)₂(NO₃)₂] (1), and [Ni(L)₂(NO₃)₂] (2), were prepared and identified along with L by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and ¹H NMR spectroscopies and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All coordination modes of the 1,2,4-triazine unit and also of the nitrato ligand in coordination with cobalt and nickel atoms were studied by analysis of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to compare with the new results. X-ray structure analysis of complexes 1 and 2 revealed that the metal atom in both complexes has an octahedral geometry with MN₄O₂ environment (M: Co (1), Ni (2)). The ligand acts as a bidentate N^tzN^py-donor and forms a five-membered planar chelate ring. In addition to the hydrogen bonds, the crystal network is stabilized by π–π stacking interactions between pyridine rings of the ligands of adjacent complexes. The thermodynamic stability of the two conformational isomers of the 5,6-di(2-furyl)-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine and their charge distribution patterns were studied by DFT and NBO analysis, respectively. The ability of the uncoordinated ligand conformers and complexes 1 and 2 to interact with nine selected biomacromolecules (BRAF kinase, CatB, DNA gyrase, HDAC7, rHA, RNR, TrxR, TS, and Top II) was investigated by docking calculations and compared with that of doxorubicin. Also an analog of the ligand in which the furyl rings are replaced by phenyl groups is included in these studies.     

Solvent-free Al(OTf)3-catalyzed aminolysis of 1,2-epoxides by 2-picolylamine: a key step in the synthesis of ionic liquids

Beta-Amino alcohols N-2'-pyridylmethyl substituted 3 have been prepared in excellent yields under mild conditions by the first Lewis acid-catalyzed aminolysis of 1,2-epoxides 1 with the bihaptic amine 2-picolylamine (2) with use of 5 mol % of Al(OTf)(3) under solvent-free conditions. As a representative of a new class of ionic liquids, cis-5-[(4'-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,11a-octahydropyrido[1,2-a]quinoxalin-11-ium methanesulfonate (6) and its chloride derivative 7 have been synthesized under environmentally friendly conditions by the one-pot aminolysis of cyclohexene oxide (1a) with 2 and intramolecular cyclization of the resulting 2-[(pyridin-2'-yl)methylamino]cyclohexanol (3a).     

Synthesis, structures and photophysical properties of luminescent copper(I) and platinum(II) complexes with a flexible naphthyridine-phosphine ligand

Condensation of Ph(2)PH and paraformaldehyde with 2-amino-7-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine gave the new flexible tridentate ligand 2-[N-(diphenylphosphino)methyl]amino-7-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine (L). Reaction of L with [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)]BF(4) and/or different ancillary ligands in dichloromethane afforded N,P chelating or bridging luminescent complexes [(L)(2)Cu(2)](BF(4))(2), [(micro-L)(2)Cu(2)(PPh(3))(2)](BF(4))(2) and [(L)Cu(CNN)]BF(4) (CNN = 6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine), respectively. Complexes [(L)(2)Pt]Cl(2), [(L)(2)Pt](ClO(4))(2) and [(L)Pt(CNC)]Cl (CNC = 2,6-biphenylpyridine) were obtained from the reactions of Pt(SMe(2))(2)Cl(2) or (CNC)Pt(DMSO)Cl with L. The crystal structures and photophysical properties of the complexes are presented.     

Structural Evidence for Pnictogen-Centered Lewis Acidity in Cationic Platinum-Stibine Complexes Featuring Pendent Amino or Ammonium Groups

As part of our continuing interest in the chemistry of cationic antimony Lewis acids as ligands for late transition metals, we have now investigated the synthesis of platinum complexes featuring a triarylstibine ligand substituted by an o-[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl group referred to as Ar^N. More specifically, we describe the synthesis of the amino stibine ligand Ph₂SbAr^N (L) and its platinum dichloride complex [LPtCl]Cl which exists as a chloride salt and which shows weak coordination of the amino group to the antimony center. We also report the conversion of [LPtCl]Cl into a tricationic complex [LHPt(SMe₂)]³⁺ which has been isolated as a tris-triflate salt after reaction of [LPtCl]Cl with SMe₂, HOTf and AgOTf. Finally, we show that [LHPt(SMe₂)][OTf]₃ acts as a catalyst for the cyclization of 2-allyl-2-(2-propynyl)malonate.     

Electron Ionization Mass Spectra of Organophosphorus Compounds Part I: The Mass Fragmentation Pathways of Cyclic α-Aminophosphonates Monoester Containing 1,2,4-Triazinone Moiety

Abstract

The electron impact induced fragmentation reactions of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4- dihydro-2-ethoxy-2-oxido-7-methyl-2H,6H-[1,2,4]triazino[4,3-e][1,4,5,2]thiadiazaphosphin in-6-one (1), 3,7-dimethyl-2-ethoxy-2-oxido-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6H-[1,2,4]triazino[4,3-b][1,2,4,5]triazaphosphinin-6-one (2), and 9-amino-3,7-dimethyl-4-ethoxy-4-oxido-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-8H-[1,2,4]triazino[3,2-c][1,2,4,5]triazaphosphinin-8-one (3) are presented and compared. The 1,2,4-triazine rings have almost identical fragmentation routes. The 1,2,4-triazine rings are rather stable relative to the phosphorus rings. Therefore, fragmentation of the phosphorus rings is more favorable for the compounds than the stable 1,2,4-triazine rings.     

On the amination of pyrimido[5,4-e]1,2,4-triazines in liquid ammonia

When dissolved in liquid ammonia 5-chloro-1,2-dihydropyrimido[5,4-e]-1,2,4-triazine ( 1 ) and 5-methoxy-pyrimido[5,4e]-1,2,4-triazine ( 4 ) quickly convert into 5-aminopyrimido[5,4-e]-1,2,4-triazine ( 2 ). When 2 is kept in liquid ammonia containing an excess of potassium permanganate, 3,5-diaminopyrimido[5,4-e]-1,2,4-triazine ( 5 ) is formed.     

Two Cd(II) complexes derived from mercapto-triazole ligands: syntheses,crystal structures,and luminescent properties

Two cadmium complexes, {[Cd(a-ptt)(ptt)]·H₂O} _n (1) and [Cd(a-Hmtt)₂(SO₄)H₂O]·CH₃OH (2), have been prepared based on 4-amino-3-(4-pyridine)-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (a-Hptt) and 4-amino-3-methyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (a-Hmtt), respectively. In 1, amino-triazole ligand a-Hptt can partly be deaminated and transformed into 3-(4-pyridine)-5-mercapto-triazole (Hptt) under hydrothermal conditions. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 1 exhibits an unusual 2-D lampshade-type layer structure in which the amino ligand a-ptt and the deamination ligand ptt display exo-tridentate bridging and bidentate bridging, respectively. Complex 2 is mononuclear and further assembled into a 3-D supramolecular architecture via non-covalent interactions. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, and thermogravimetric analyses. Furthermore, solid-state luminescent properties of 1 and 2 have also been investigated.     

Synthesis and characterization of mono- and bicyclic heterocyclic derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-thia-, and -oxadiazole rings

A series of new N- and S-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized. 5-Pyridin-3-yl-3-[2-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-l,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione and 5-[(5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio)methyl]-N-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine were formed by cyclization of 3-(5-pyridin-3-yl-2-thioxo-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3(2H)-ylpropanimidohydrazide and 2-[(5-pyridin-3-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thio]thiosemicarbazide with CS₂ and H₂SO₄. On the other hand, a number of new bicyclic 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized. 6-Pyridin-3-ylbis[1,2,4]‐triazolo[3,4-b:4′,3′-d][1,3,4]thiadiazole-3(2H)-thione was synthesized by reaction of 6-(hydrazino)-3-pyridine-3-yl[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole with CS₂/KOH/EtOH. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by the spectral and analytical data IR, Mass, and ¹H NMR spectra. Correspondence: Adel A.-H.

Reactions of 3,5-dibromo-1-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole with NH-azoles

Reactions of 3,5-dibromo-1-(thiiran-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole with 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, 1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione, 3,5-dibromo-1,2,4-triazole, 2,4,5-tribromoimidazole, and 2-chlorobenzimidazole lead to the formation of 5-azolylmethyl-2-bromo-5,6-dihydrothiazolo[3,2-b]-1,2,4-triazoles. In the case of 8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione the intermediate thiolate anion undergoes cyclization into 7-[(3,5-dibromo-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1,3-dimethyl-6,7-dihydrothiazolo[2,3-f]purine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione. The structure of reaction products depends on the relative rate of substitution of leaving groups in the reagents.
