Reactions of Verbenol Epoxide with Aromatic Aldehydes Containing Hydroxy or Methoxy Groups in the Presence of Montmorillonite Clay

The reactions of (?)‐cis‐verbenol epoxide with a number of aromatic aldehydes containing OH and/or MeO groups in the presence of montmorillonite K10 clay have been studied. Several new O‐containing heterocyclic compounds with different frameworks, including compounds with a previously unknown octahydro‐2H‐4,6‐(epoxymethano)chromene framework, have been synthesized. Introduction of one donor substituent in the benzaldehyde molecule led to a decrease in the total yield of intermolecular by formed products, while the introduction of two and more substituents led to an increase in the yield of these products.     

Behavior of Ionic Liquids Around Charged Metal Complexes: Investigation of Homogeneous Electron Transfer Reactions Between Metal Complexes in Ionic Liquids

The second-order electron transfer reaction between the photo-excited triplet state of [Zn(TPP)]* (TPP?=?5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin) and [Co(sep)]³⁺ (sep?=?sepulchrate?=?1,3,6,8,10,13,16,19-octaazabicyclo[6.6.6]eicosane) was investigated in three ionic liquids (ILs, 1-R-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide with R?=?butyl, pentyl, and hexyl) and in acetonitrile. Results of electrochemical and kinetic measurements indicated that ILs dissociate in the vicinity of charged metal complexes and at electrodes, although the dissociated anionic and cationic components of the ILs seem to exist as pairs around the metal complexes. Second-order rate constants for the electron transfer reaction are 1.88?×?10⁹, 3.65?×?10⁷, 2.63?×?10⁷, and 2.01?×?10⁷ kg·mol^?1·s^?1 in acetonitrile and in the butyl, pentyl and hexyl ILs, respectively, at 298 K, after correction of the contribution of diffusion. The average slope of the plot of the logarithmic second-order rate constants observed in acetonitrile and ILs against the logarithmic viscosity of each solvent was ??0.84. However, the slope of the same plot was much steeper (??4.1) when data for only the three ILs were used. Detailed analyses of the experimental results on the basis of the Latner–Levin cross relation and the Marcus theory lead to the conclusion that the solvent properties such as the dielectric constant and refractive index around the polarized/charged transition states are different from those for the bulk ILs: observed self-exchange rate constants did not exhibit the Pekar factor dependence when dielectric constants and refractive indices for bulk ILs are used.

Effect of Metal Alkoxide Complexes on Condensation Reactions of Hydrolyzed Phenyltriethoxysilane

Metal alkoxide complexes, in which alkoxy groups were substituted with ethyl acetoacetate (EAcAc), were found to accelerate condensation reactions of hydrolyzed phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES) and affect the structure of phenylsiloxane networks. The ²⁹Si NMR study revealed that the acceleration effect increased in the order Al(O-sec-C₄H₉)_3–x (EAcAc) _x < Ta(OC₂H₅)_5–x (EAcAc)_x < Ti(OC₂H₅)_4–x (EAcAc) _x . However, the GPC study revealed that the solution contained the high molecular weight species in the order Al(O-sec-C₄H₉)_3–x (EAcAc) _x < Ti(OC₂H₅)_4–x (EAcAc) _x < Ta(OC₂H₅)_5–x (EAcAc) _x . In the case of Ti(OC₂H₅)_4–x (EAcAc) _x , the smaller size of phenylsiloxane networks with a low content of silanol groups was formed in the solution. In the case of Ta(OC₂H₅)_5–x (EAcAc) _x , the larger size of phenylsiloxane networks with a high content of silanol groups was formed in the solution. In the case of Al(O-sec-C₄H₉)_3–x (EAcAc) _x , the small size of phenylsiloxane networks with a high content of silanol groups was formed in the solution. During gelation, the catalytic effect of the metal alkoxide complexes on the development of phenylsiloxane networks was also found. However, the average molecular weight of the gels increased in the order Ta(OC₂H₅)_5–x (EAcAc) _x < Ti(OC₂H₅)_4–x (EAcAc) _x Al(O-sec-C₄H₉)_3–x (EAcAc) _x . The metal alkoxide complexes were hydrolyzed and finally incorporated into the phenylsiloxane networks of gels to form M—O—Si bonds, which were indicated by the results of FT-IR analysis.     

Reactions of Allyl Alcohols of the Pinane Series and of Their Epoxides in the Presence of Montmorillonite Clay

The reactivity of allyl alcohols of the pinane series and of their epoxides in the presence of montmorillonite clay in intra‐ and intermolecular reactions was studied. Mutual transformations of (+)‐trans‐pinocarveol ((+)‐ 2 ) and (?)‐myrtenol ((?)‐ 3a ) were major reactions of these compounds on askanite–bentonite clay (Schemes 1 and 2). However, the two reactions gave different isomerization products, indicating that the reactivity of the starting alcohol (+)‐ 2 or (?)‐ 3a was different from that of the same compound (+)‐ 2 or (?)‐ 3 formed in the course of the reactions. (?)‐cis‐ and (+)‐trans‐Verbenol ((?)‐ 16 and (+)‐ 12 , resp.), as well as (?)‐cis‐verbenol epoxide ((?)‐ 20 ) reacted with both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes on askanite–bentonite clay giving various heterocyclic compounds (Schemes 4, 5 and 7); the reaction path depended on the structure of both the terpenoid and the aldehyde.     

A New Approach in Enantioselective Catalytic with Bis(oxazoline) Ligand-Metal Complexes

In recent years, the research of enantioselective-catalyzed reaction and the catalyst has got great development. Of the various chiral catalysts, great attention was given to the C₂-symmetry chiral bis(oxazoline)ligand-metal complexes for they could be easily synthesized and have shown good enantioselection in various catalytic processes, including cyclopropanation from dihalogenmethane^[1] and diazoacetate^[2].But no report has been found of enantioselective-catalyzed cyclopropanation from sulfonyl-carbanions and alkenes. The test of chiral cyclopropanation from sulfonylcarbanions with nickel bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine catalyst has been made in our lab, and alkylation of aldehydes with diethyl zinc in the presence of nickel or iron bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine was also tested (scheme 1). Some asymmetric effects were observed in these reactions.     

New Designs for Phototherapeutic Transition Metal Complexes

In this Minireview, we highlight recent advances in the design of transition metal complexes for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the translation of such agents into clinical use. New designs for light‐activated transition metal complexes offer photoactivatable prodrugs with novel targeted mechanisms of action. Light irradiation can provide spatial and temporal control of drug activation, increasing selectivity and reducing side‐effects. The photophysical and photochemical properties of transition metal complexes can be controlled by the appropriate choice of the metal, its oxidation state, the number and types of ligands, and the coordination geometry.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Three New Transition Metal Complexes with Azido Ligands

Hydrothermal reactions of NaN₃, 1, 10‐phenanthroline or 2, 2′‐bipyridine and transition metal cations including Zn^II or Co^II in basified aqueous solutions yielded the three complexes, [Zn₂(bipy)₂(N₃)₄]_n ( 1 ), [Zn(phen)(N₃)₂]_n ( 2 ), and [Co(phen)₂(N₃)₂] ( 3 ), which were characterized by X‐ray crystallography. All three complexes crystallize in the triclinic system, space group P1¯, with a = 6.5506(2), b = 10.8441(6), c = 16.893(2)Å, α = 96.333(5), β = 95.361(7), γ = 90.548(6)° for 1 ; a = 7.0302(10), b = 10.0590(14), c = 10.4550(15)Å, α = 109.372(2), β = 103.980(2), γ = 106.137(2)° for 2 ; and a = 8.1722(2), b = 11.0332(3), c = 12.5066(2)Å, α = 82.681(8), β = 82.457(9), γ = 72.991(7)° for 3 , respectively. The photoluminescence spectra for compounds 1 and 2 have also been studied.     

Reactions of Cycloaliphatic Thioketones and Their Oxo Analogues with Lithiated Methoxyallene: A New Approach to Vinylthiiranes

Admantanethione smoothly reacted with lithiated methoxyallene at low temperatures yielding the expected allenyl‐substituted thiolate, which upon aqueous work‐up underwent spontaneous 1,3‐cyclization to afford a hitherto unknown methoxy‐substituted vinylthiirane derivative. The analogous reaction with adamantanone led to the corresponding allenyl alcohol that can be isolated and—depending on the conditions applied—either be converted into the corresponding vinyloxirane or into the 2,5‐dihydrofuran derivative. Sterically more crowded thioketones were also combined with lithiated methoxyallene, but in these cases competitive 1,5‐cyclization leading to isomeric dihydrothiophene derivatives was observed. DFT calculations of model intermediates and products show distinct energy differences of the sulfur and the corresponding oxygen compounds. Desulfurization of the adamantanethione‐derived vinylthiirane yielded a methoxy‐substituted 1,3‐diene that was studied in cycloadditions with electron‐deficient dienophiles. Whereas in the case of tetracyanoethylene the corresponding cyclobutane derivative was formed, the reaction with nitrosobenzene provided the expected 1,2‐oxazine derivative. By reductive cleavage of the N? O bond this heterocycle was converted into an unsaturated amino alcohol bearing an adamantane moiety.     

Alkaline-Earth Metal Complexes with Pivaloylacetone

Pivaloylacetonates of alkaline-earth elements with composition M(Pa)₂ · nH₂O (n = 1, M = Sr, Ca; n = 0, 2, M = Ba) were synthesized and studied by IR and thermal analysis; their solubilities and volatility were estimated. It was found that the volatility changes regularly in the series M(Acac)₂–M(Pa)₂–M(Thd)₂ (HAcac is acetylacetone, HThd is dipivaloylmethane). The replacement of one methyl radical by the tert-butyl radical when going from acetylacetonates to pivaloylacetonates was shown to noticeably increase the volatility only for Sr(Pa)₂ · H₂O. Complexes of barium pivaloylacetonate with tetraglyme and -phenanthroline were synthesized and characterized.
