A stereoselective synthetic route to 1,6-Dioxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-ones from cyclopropyl alkyl ketones and alpha-ketoesters

[reaction: see text] The SnCl(4)-mediated reactions of cyclopropyl alkyl ketones with alpha-ketoesters afford a novel method for the synthesis of 1,6-dioxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-ones with high stereoselectivities in moderate to good yields. This process is a sequential reaction involving a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of the cyclopropane by H(2)O, an aldol-type reaction, and a cyclic transesterification mediated by Lewis acid.

Synthesis, characterization, and chiral properties of CoIII2AgI3 pentanuclear, CoIII4ZnII4 octanuclear, and CoIII mononuclear complexes with aza-capped hexadentate-N3S3 thiolate ligands: crystal structures of

The reaction of an S-bridged Co2(III)Ag3(I) pentanuclear complex, [Ag3[Co(aet)3]2][BF4]3 (aet = NH2CH2CH2S-), with paraformaldehyde in basic acetonitrile, followed by adding aqueous ammonia, produced an aza-capped Co2(III)-Ag3(I) complex, [Ag3[Co(L)]2]3+ ([1]3+) (L = N(CH2NHCH2CH2S-)3). The crystal structure of [1]3+ was determined by X-ray crystallography. [1][PF6]3 x H2O, empirical formula C18H44Ag3Co2F18N8OP3S6, crystallizes in the tetragonal space group 142m with a = 13.012(1) A, c = 24.707(2) A, and Z = 4. In [1]3+ the two aza-capped [Co(L)] units are linked by three Ag(I) atoms, such that the two Co(III) atoms are encapsulated in a macrobicyclic metallocage, [Ag3(I)(L)2]3-. [1]3+ was converted to an aza-capped Co4(III)Zn4(II) octanuclear complex, [Zn4O[Co(L)]4]6+ ([2]6+), by reaction with I- in the presence of Zn2+ and ZnO in water. The crystal structure of [2]6+ was also determined by X-ray crystallography. [2][PF6]6 x 8H2O, empirical formula C36H100Co4F36N16O9P6S12Zn4, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1/n) with a = 14.33(7) A, b = 25.67(10) A, c = 24.83(6) A, beta = 101.3(3) degrees , and Z = 4. In [2]6+ each of four [Co(L)] units is bound to each trigonal Zn3(II) face of the tetrahedral [Zn4(II)O]6+ core, such that each Co(III) atom is encapsulated in a macrobicyclic [Zn4(II)O(L)] fragment. Treatment of [2]6+ with a basic aqueous solution resulted in a cleavage of the Zn-S bonds to produce an aza-capped Co(III) mononuclear complex, [Co(L)] ([3]), from which [1]3+ is readily reproduced by the reaction with Ag+ in water. All the reactions were found to proceed with retention of the absolute configuration (delta or lambda) of the Co(III) chiral centers; deltadelta-[1]3+, deltadeltadeltadelta-[2]6+, and A-[3] were derived from deltadelta-[Ag3[Co(aet)3]2]3+. The contributions to circular dichroism (CD) from the triple helicity in [1]3+, besides from the asymmetric N and S donor atoms and the Co(III) chiral centers in [1]3+ and [2]6+, were estimated by comparing the CD spectra of deltadelta-[1]3+, deltadeltadeltadelta-[2]6+, and delta-[3].     

The first solid composed of [As4V16O42(H2O)] clusters

A new polyoxovanadate [Zn2(dien)3][[Zn(dien)]2As4V16O42(H2O)] x 3H2O (1, dien = diethylenetriamine) has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by EA, IR, TGA, magnetic measurement and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-Ray diffraction analyses reveal that 1 exhibits the first [As4V16O42(H2O)]-containing polyoxometalate. In 1, the adjacent [As4V16O42(H2O)] clusters are linked to each other through dual mono-nuclear zinc complexes {Zn(dien)} to form one-dimensional anionic chains with isolated dinuclear zinc complexes [Zn2(dien)3] occupying the interchain regions as charge compensation. The study of the magnetic susceptibility demonstrates the presence of antiferromagnetic interaction between VIV cations in 1.     

Photoinduced [4 + 4] cycloadditions of o-quinones with oxazoles

[reaction: see text] Photocycloadditions of 9,10-phenanthraquinone (PQ) with oxazoles (1a and 1b) gave [4 + 4] products 2 with the O=C-C=O functionality in PQ and the 2-azadiene moiety in oxazole as 4pi addends. Photoreactions of 1-acetylisatin (IS) with 1a, 1c, and 1d gave [4 + 4] product A, which underwent further [2 + 2] reactions with another (3)IS to furnish 5. These regioselective and diastereoselective [4 + 4] photocycloadditions are rationalized by the intervening of the key conformers for ISC and bond formation of the most stable 1,6-diradical intermediates.     

Unprecedented stabilization of cobalt(II) in a tetrahedral S2O2 environment: the use of a redox-noninnocent ligand

The reaction of Zn(II) and Co(II) with thiosalicylic acid, o-HSC6H4COOH, and its methyl ester has led to the following complexes: [Zn(SC6H4COO)] (1), (NEt4)Na[Zn(SC6H4COO)2].H2O (2), (NEt4)2Na[Co(SC6H4COO)3].2H2O (3), (NEt4)3Na3[(Co(SC6H4COO)3)2].6MeOH (4), [Zn(SC6H4COOMe)2] (5), and [Co(SC6H4COOMe)n], n = 2 (6), 3 (7). These ligands have not allowed stabilization of Co(II) in a sulfur-oxygen coordination environment. The structures of complexes 2-4 and 7 have been determined crystallographically. Those of 2-4 show significant similarities such as the behavior of the -SC6H4COO- anion as chelating ligand and the involvement of sodium ions as a structural element. Thus, the structure of the [Na(Zn(SC6H4COO)2)(H2O)]- anion in complex 2 can be described as infinite chains of consecutive [Zn(SC6H4COO)2]2- metalloligands linked by [Na(H2O)]+ centers, that of the [Na(Co(SC6H4COO)3(H2O)2)]2(4-) anion in 3 as a centrosymmetric tetranuclear Co2Na2 dimer with a (CoIII(S[symbol: see text]O)3)Na(mu-H2O)2Na(CoIII(S[symbol: see text]O)3) core, and that of the pentanuclear [Na3(Co(SC6H4COO)3)2(MeOH)6]3- anion in 4 as two dinuclear [(CoIII(S[symbol: see text]O)3)Na(MeOH)3] fragments linked to a central sodium ion, which appears to be the first structurally characterized example of a NaS6 site. The use of the o-HSC6H4COOMe ligand allowed the synthesis of [Co(SC6H4COOMe)2] (6) but not its full structural characterization. Instead, [Co(SC6H4COOMe)3] (7) was obtained and structurally characterized. It consists of mononuclear molecules containing an octahedral CoIIIS3O3 core. The selection of 2,2-diphenyl-2-mercaptoacetic acid as ligand with reductive properties has afforded the first mononuclear complex containing a CoIIS2O2 core and thus an unprecedented model for Co(II)-substituted metalloproteins containing tetrahedral MS2O2 active sites. The synthesis and full structural characterization of the isostructural complexes (NEt4)2[Zn(Ph2C(S)COO)2] (8) and (NEt4)2[Co(Ph2C(S)COO)2] (9) show that they consist of discrete [M(Ph2C(S)COO)2]2- anions, with a distorted tetrahedral coordination about the metal. In addition, the stability conferred by the ligand on the CoIIS2O2 core has allowed its characterization in solution by paramagnetic 1D and 2D 1H NMR studies. The longitudinal relaxation times of the hyperfine-shifted resonances and NOESY spectra have led to the assignment of all resonances of the cobalt complex and confirmed that it maintains its tetrahedral geometry in solution. Magnetic measurements (2-300 K) for complex 9 and 9.2H2O are in good agreement with distorted tetrahedral and octahedral environments, respectively.     

Scavenging effects of metal complexes of water-soluble thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate on superoxide anion radicals

The scavenging effects of metal complexes of thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (Me-TCAS[4], Me=H?, Fe3(+), Mn3(+), Mn2(+), Cu2(+), and Zn2(+)) on superoxide anion radicals (O??) generated from the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system were investigated by the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) method and electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping method using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide as a trapping reagent. As a reference, calix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (H?)-CAS[4]), calix[6]arenehexasulfonate (H?-CAS[6]) and calix[8]areneoctasulfonate (H?-CAS[8]) were also examined. The results by the NBT method indicated that Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4] exhibited the highest O?? scavenging activity among Me-TCAS[4] and H?-CAS[n] (n = 4, 6, 8) in this study. The IC?? values of Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4] for O?? scavenging activity were estimated to be 5.3 and 7.8 μM, respectively, and were almost the same as those of tannin acid, catechin and their derivatives, which are known as very effective scavengers of O??. Scavenging activities were in the order of Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4]>Mn2(+)-, Cu2(+)-, and Zn(2+)-TCAS[4]>H(2)-TCAS[4] and H?-CAS[n] (n=4, 6, 8). Each activity of Me-TCAS[4] (Me=Fe3(+), Mn3(+), Mn2(+), Cu2(+), and Zn2(+)) was higher than that of the corresponding metal ion, indicating that H?-TCAS[4] has the ability to raise the activity of the metal ion itself by forming a complex. Also, the ESR spin-trapping method revealed that Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4] showed high O?? scavenging activities, similarly to the results by the NBT method.     

Cleavage of an RNA model catalyzed by dinuclear Zn(II) complexes containing rate-accelerating pendants. Comparison of the catalytic benefits of H-bonding and hydrophobic substituents

The transesterification of a simple RNA model, 2-hydroxypropyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (2, HpNPP) promoted by seven dinuclear Zn(II) catalysts (3,4,5,6,7,8,9:Zn(II)2:(-OCH3)) based on the bis[bis(2-substituted-pyridinyl-6-methyl)]amine ligand system was investigated in methanol under sspH-controlled conditions at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. The two metal complexing ligands were joined together via the amino N connected to a m-xylyl linker (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) where the 2-pyridinyl substituent = H, CH3, (CH)4, NH2, and NH(C═O)CH3, respectively, and a propyl linker (8, 9) where the ring substituent = H and CH3. All of the dinuclear complexes except 8:Zn(II)2 exhibit saturation kinetics for the kobs versus [catalyst] plots from which one can determine catalyst:substrate binding constants (KM), the catalytic rate constants for their decomposition (kcat), and the second order catalytic rate constants (k2cat = kcat/KM). In the case of 8:Zn(II)2, the plots of kobs versus [catalyst] as a function of sspH are linear, and the catalytic rate constants (k2cat) are defined as the gradients of the plots. Analysis of all of the data at the sspH optimum for each reaction indicates that the presence of the amino and acetamido H-bonding groups and the CH3 group provides similar increases of the kcat terms of 25?50 times that exhibited by the parent complex 3:Zn(II)2. However, in terms of substrate catalyst binding (KM), there is no clear trend that H-bonding groups or the CH3 group provides stronger binding than the parent complex. In terms of the overall second order catalytic rate constant, the CH3, amino, and NH(C═O)CH3 groups provide 20, 10, and 68 times the k2cat observed for the parent complex. In the case of 9:Zn(II)2, the presence of the methyl groups provides a 1000-fold increase in activity (judged by k2cat) over the parent complex 8:Zn(II)2. The results are interpreted to indicate that H-bonding effects may be important for catalysis and less so for substrate binding, but the steric effect and impact on the local polarity provided by a methyl substituent is just as effective and in fact may form part of the acceleratory effect attributed to H-bonding in related systems.     

Zn(OAc)2 catalyzed microwave irradiated synthesis of substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one

Different Lewis acids were screened to catalyze the reaction of 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxylate, orthoformate and aryl amine to form 2-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one. Zn(OAc)₂ was demonstrated to efficiently catalyze the reaction. 20 substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were synthesized by adding 0.5% mol Zn(OAc)₂ as catalyst under microwave irradiation.     

Novel hetero-bimetallic metalla-macrocycles based on the bis-1-pyridyl ferrocene [Fe(eta 5-C5H(4)-1-C5H4N)2] ligand. Design,synthesis and structural characterization of the complexes [Fe(eta 5-C5H(4)-1-C5H4N)2](AgI)2(2+)/(CuII)2(4+)/(ZnII)2(4+)

The bidentate sandwich ligand [Fe(eta 5-C5H(4)-1-C5H4N)2] has been prepared, structurally characterized and employed in the preparation of the novel supramolecular heterobimetallic metalla-macrocycles [Fe(eta 5-C5H(4)-1-C5H4N)2]Ag2(NO3)(2).1.5H2O, [Fe(eta 5-C5H(4)-1-C5H4N)2]Cu2(CH3COO)(4).3H2O and [Fe(eta 5-C5H(4)-1-C5H4N)2]Zn2Cl4.     

Pyrrolocarbazoles. 4. Acetylation of 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazole

It is shown that 1-acetyl and 1-chloroacetyl derivatives are formed in the Vilsmeier acylation of 3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazole. The 3,6-diacetyl derivative is formed by the action of Ac₂O without a catalyst, whereas the presence of catalytic amounts of H₃PO₄ leads to 1,6-diacetyl-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]carbazole. Only one reaction product, viz., the 9-acetyl derivative, is formed when AlCl₃ is used as the catalyst, while a mixture of acylation products was obtained in the presence of SnCl₄.See [1] for Communication 3.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 497–500, April, 1980.     

Self-encapsulation of [MII(phen)2(H2O)2]2+ (M=Co, Zn) in one-dimensional nanochannels of [MII(H2O)6(BTC)2]4- (M=Co, Cu, Mn): a high HQ/CAT ratio catalyst for hydroxylation of phenols

Four novel three-dimensional (3D) microporous supramolecular compounds containing nanosized channels, namely, [Co(phen)2(H2O)2]2[Co(H2O)6].2BTC.21.5H2O (1), [Co(phen)2(H2O)2]2[Cu(H2O)6].2BTC.21.5H2O (2), [Co(phen)2(H2O)2]2[Mn(H2O)6].2BTC.18H2O (3), and [Zn(phen)2(H2O)2]2[Mn(H2O)6].2BTC.22.5H2O (4), were synthesized from 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (BTC), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), and the transition-metal salt(s) by self-assembly. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis showed that the resulting 3D microporous supramolecular frameworks consist of a two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen-bonded host framework of [MII(H2O)6(BTC)2]4- (M=Co for 1, Cu for 2, Mn for 3, 4) with rectangular-shaped cavities containing [MII(phen)2(H2O)2]2+ (M=Co for 1-3, Zn for 4) guests. The guest complex is encapsulated in the 2D hydrogen-bonded host framework by hydrogen bonding and aromatic pi-pi stacking interactions, forming the 3D hydrogen-bonded framework. The catalytic activities of 1, 2, 3, and 4 were studied using hydroxylation of phenols with 30% aqueous H2O2 as a test reaction. The compounds displayed a good phenol conversion ratio and excellent channel selectivity in the hydroxylation reaction, with a maximum hydroquinone (HQ)/catechol (CAT) ratio of 3.9.     

Zn7{(2-C5H4N)CH(OH)PO3}6 (H2O)6]SO4 x 4H2O: a zinc phosphonate cluster with a drum-like cage structure

Direct reaction of hydroxy(2-pyridyl)methylphosphonic acid with zinc sulfate under hydrothermal conditions results in the formation of the novel heptanuclear cluster compound [Zn7{(2-C5H4N)CH(OH)PO3}6 (H2O)6]SO4 x 4H2O (1). The inorganic core of the cluster can be described as a cylindrical drum made up of six Zn atoms bridged by six {CPO3} units that is centered by a seventh Zn atom. Crystal data: monoclinic, C2/c, a = 22.690(2) A, b = 16.675(2) A, c = 18.151(2) A, beta = 93.390(2) degrees.     

[C6(MIm)2]2W10O32. 2H2O: A novel and powerful catalyst for the synthesis of 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4)-oxazolones under ultrasonic condition

Di[1,6-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)hexane] decatungstate dihydrate ([C₆(MIm)₂]₂W₁₀O₃₂. 2H₂O) as a new family of polyoxometalate-based dicationic ionic liquids (POM-DIL) is synthesized and employed as a novel and powerful heterogeneous catalyst in the synthesis of 4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4)-oxazolones (azlactones) under ultrasound-assisted solvent-free condition. On the basis of the results, the products were obtained in excellent yields under mild condition. Utilization of easy work-up and purification make it very interesting from an economic perspective. Moreover, a recycling study confirmed that the catalyst can be reused multiple times without significant loss of its activity.     

Regioselective alkene carbon-carbon bond cleavage to aldehydes and chemoselective alcohol oxidation of allylic alcohols with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by [cis-Ru(II)(dmp)2(H2O)2]2+ (dmp = 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline)

[reaction: see text] [cis-Ru(II)(dmp)2(H2O)2]2+ (dmp = 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline) was found to be a selective oxidation catalyst using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Thus, primary alkenes were very efficiently oxidized via direct carbon-carbon bond cleavage to the corresponding aldehydes as an alternative to ozonolysis. Secondary alkenes were much less reactive, leading to regioselective oxidation of substrates such as 4-vinylcyclohexene and 7-methyl-1,6-octadiene at the terminal position. Primary allylic alcohols were chemoselectively oxidized to the corresponding allylic aldehydes, e.g., geraniol to citral.     

Space Group of Aquaimidazolemaleatozinc, [(H2O)(C3H4N2)(O2CCH=CHCO2Zn)]n

The space group of [(H2O)(C3H4N2)(O2CCH=CHCO2Zn)]n, which was originally described in the acentric Pc space group (Liu et al., Chin. J. Struct. Chem. 2004, 23, 160～163), is re-described in the centric P21/c space group.The crystal structure of (H2O)(C3H4N2)O2C-CH=CHCO2Zn was refined in the acentric Pc space group on 266 variables to R = 0.037 for the 1926 of the 2067 obeying the I > 2σ criterion[1]. The structure is better described in the centric P21/c space group (Table 1) as the two indepen-dent formula units are related by a center of symmetry. The 21 screw axis is must be pre-sent, as noted from the systematically absent 0k0 (k = 2n + 1) reflections in the 3302 reflections that were simulated[2, 3] from the published cell dimensions and atomic coordinates. Crystallo-graphica[4] estimates the hemisphere of reflections to be 3302, so that only a little more than the minimum monoclinic data must have been collec-ted in the study. A revision from Pc to P21/c is not particularly common[5] as the P21/c space group is uniquely determined from systematic absences. The polymeric chain propagates linearly along the c-axis of the unit cell (Fig. 1).     

Zinc hydrazides and alkoxyhydrazides: organometallic compounds with novel Zn4N8, Zn4N6O and Zn4N4O2 cage structures

Tetrameric [{RZn(NHNMe2)}4] (R = Me, Et), the first organometallic zinc hydrazides to be described, have been prepared by alkane elimination from dialkylzinc solutions and N,N-dimethylhydrazine. They were characterised by 1H and 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. The compounds form asymmetric aggregates containing the novel Zn4N8 core; tetrahedra of Zn atoms bear the alkyl groups at Zn, with the triangular faces bridged by NHNMe2 substituents. The NH groups are connected to two Zn atoms, and the NMe2 groups to one. Hydrolysis of the compounds with water gives [(RZn)4(OH)(NHNMe2)3] as products, which also were characterised as described above. Higher yields of these hydroxo clusters were achieved in one-pot syntheses by reaction of dialkylzinc solutions with mixtures of N,N-dimethylhydrazine and water. They contain Zn4N6O cages, in which one hydroxide in the tetrameric hydrazides described above replaces one NHNMe2 group. Similar products can be prepared with alkoxy instead of hydroxy groups, in analogous one-pot syntheses with alcohols. Alcoholysis of [EtZn(NHNMe2)]4 with methanol or ethanol gave zinc trishydrazide monoalkoxides, [(EtZn)4(OR)(NHNMe2)3] (R = Me, Et), which have constitutions analogous to the monohydroxides. The organozinc bishydrazide bisalkoxides [(MeZn)4(NHNMe2)2(OEt)2] and [(EtZn)4(NHNMe2)2(OEt)2] were obtained in one-pot reactions from dialkylzinc solutions with mixtures of the hydrazine and alcohol, and their crystal structures, confirmed by spectroscopic methods in solution, show an unsymmetrical aggregation with the novel Zn4N4O2 cage structure.

Chiral layered zincophosphate [d-Co(en)3]Zn3(H0.5PO4)2(HPO4)2 assembled about d-Co(en)(3)3+ complex cations

A new chiral layered zincophosphate [d-Co(en)3]Zn3(H(0.5)PO4)2(HPO4)2, designated ZnPO-CJ16, has been hydrothermally synthesized by using the optically pure chiral metal complex d-Co(en)3I3 as the template. It contains 4.6-net sheets which array in a helical fashion with an ABCDEF stacking sequence along the [001] direction. The chiral d-Co(en)3(3+) complex cations reside in the interlayer regions. Interestingly, there exist symmetrical O...H...O H-bonds between inorganic sheets, which results in a pseudo-three-dimensional open-framework structure stabilized by strong H-bonds. The crystal data are as follows: ZnPO-CJ16, [d-Co(en)3]Zn3(H(0.5)PO4)2(HPO4)2; M = 818.26; hexagonal; P6(5)22 (No. 179); a = 8.5832(12) A; c = 52.610(11) A; U = 3356.6(9) A(3); T = 293(2) K; Z = 6; R1 = 0.0415 (I > 2sigma(I)); wR2 = 0.1383 (all data); Flack parameter, 0.04(4).
