Reactivity of 4,5-Dichlorophthalic Anhydride towards Thiosemicarbazide and Amines: Synthesis,Spectroscopic Analysis,and DFT Study

The cyclic anhydrides are broadly employed in several fields, such as the chemical, plastic, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. This study describes the chemical reactivity of 4,5-dichlorophthalic anhydride towards several nucleophiles, including thiosemicarbazide and different amines, to produce the carboxylic acid derivatives resulting from anhydride’s opening, namely, phthalimide and dicarboxylic acid (1–12) products. Their chemical structures are confirmed by NMR, IR and MS spectra analyses. Density–functional theory (DFT) studies are performed using (DFT/B3LYP) with the 6-311G(d, p) basis sets to recognize different chemical and physical features of the target compounds.     

Bis(oxiranes) Containing Cyclooctane Core: Synthesis and Reactivity towards NaN3

Reactions of oxirane ring opening provide a powerful tool for regio- and stereoselective synthesis of polyfunctional and heterocyclic compounds, widely used in organic chemistry and drug design. Cyclooctane, alongside other medium-sized rings, is of interest as a novel molecular platform for the construction of target-oriented leads. Additionally, cyclooctane derivatives are well known to be prone to transannular reactions, which makes them a promising object in the search for novel approaches to polycyclic structures. In the present work, a series of cyclooctanediones was studied in Corey-Chaykovsky reactions, and novel spirocyclic bis(oxiranes) containing cyclooctane core, namely, 1,5-dioxadispiro[2.0.2.6]dodecane and 1,8-dioxadispiro[2.3.2.3]dodecane, were synthesized. Ring opening of the obtained bis(oxiranes) upon treatment with sodium azide was investigated, and it was found that the reaction path is determined by the reciprocal orientation of oxygen atoms in the oxirane moieties. Diastereomers of the bis(oxiranes) with cis-orientation underwent independent ring opening, supplying corresponding diazidodiols, while in the case of stereoisomers with trans-orientation, domino-like reactions occurred, including intramolecular nucleophilic attack and the formation of a novel three- or six-membered O-containing ring. Summarily, a straightforward approach to polyfunctional compounds containing cyclooctane or oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane cores, employing bis(oxiranes), was elaborated.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of Low‐Valent Group 14 Element Compounds

The tetravalent germanium and tin compounds of the general formulae Ph*EX₃ (Ph* = C₆H₃Trip‐2,6, Trip = C₆H₂iPr₃‐2,4,6; E = Sn, X = Cl ( 1a ), Br ( 1b ); E = Ge, X = Cl ( 2 )) are synthesized by reaction of Ph*Li·OEt₂ with EX₄. The subsequent reaction of 1a , b with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ leads to Ph*EP(SiMe₃)₂ (E = Sn ( 3 ), Ge ( 4 )) and the diphosphane (Me₃Si)₂PP(SiMe₃)₂ by a redox reaction. In an alternative approach 3 and 4 are synthesized by using the corresponding divalent compounds Ph*ECl (E = Ge, Sn) in the reaction with LiP(SiMe₃)₂. The reactivity of Ph*SnCl is extensively investigated to give with LiP(H)Trip a tin(II)‐phosphane derivative Ph*SnP(H)Trip ( 6 ) and with Li₂PTrip a proposed product [Ph*SnPTrip]^– ( 7 ) with multiple bonding between tin and phosphorus. The latter feature is confirmed by DFT calculations on a model compound [PhSnPPh]^–. The reaction with Li[H₂PW(CO)₅] gives the oxo‐bridged tin compound [Ph*Sn{W(CO)₅}(μ‐O)₂SnPh*] ( 8 ) as the only isolable product. However, the existence of 8 as the bis‐hydroxo derivative [Ph*Sn{W(CO)₅}(μ‐OH)₂SnPh*] ( 8a ) is also possible. The Sn^IV derivatives Ph*Sn(OSiMe₃)₂Cl ( 9 ) and [Ph*Sn(μ‐O)Cl]₂ ( 10 ) are obtained by the oxidation of Ph*SnCl with bis(trimethylsilyl)peroxide and with Me₃NO, respectively. Besides the spectroscopic characterization of the isolated products compounds 1a , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , and 10 are additionally characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis.

The complexes were characterized by spectroscopy and X‐ray crystal structure determination of [M(NH₂iPr)(N≡CNEt₂){P(OEt)₃}₄](BPh₄)₂ [M = Ru ( 3a ), Os ( 5a )].     

Two‐step Synthesis of Multi‐Substituted Amines by Using an N‐Methoxy Group as a Reactivity Control Element

The development of a two‐step synthesis of multi‐substituted N‐methoxyamines from N‐methoxyamides is reported. Utilization of the N‐methoxy group as a reactivity control element was the key to success in this two‐step synthesis. The first reaction involves a N‐methoxyamide/aldehyde coupling reaction. Whereas ordinary amides cannot condense with aldehydes intermolecularly due to the poor nucleophilicity of the amide nitrogen, the N‐methoxy group enhances the nucleophilicity of the nitrogen, enabling the direct coupling reaction. The second reaction in the two‐step process was nucleophilic addition to the N‐methoxyamides. Incorporation of the N‐methoxy group into the amides increased the electrophilicity of the amide carbonyls and promoted the chelation effect. This nucleophilic addition enabled quick diversification of the products derived from the first step. The developed strategy was applicable to a variety of substrates, resulting in the elaboration of multi‐substituted piperidines and acyclic amines, as well as a substructure of a complex natural alkaloid.

Structure and Bonding in Organometallic Anions of Heavy Group 14 and 15 Elements

Alkali metal organometallic complexes (containing C–metal bonds) and the frequently structrually related alkali metal amides and alkoxides have been investigated extensively both in the solid state and in solution in the past two decades. However, until recently, the related complexes containing the heavier metallic and semi-metallic p block elements and the alkali and alkaline earth metals had rarely been studied in their own right. Recent solid-state structural studies have illustrated the immense structural diversity and bonding modes to be found within these species. One of the principal focuses of recent studies has been complexes containing organometallic anions of p block metals (e.g., triorganostannates, containing R₃Sn^?) in which metal–metal bonds occur between the heavy p block metal and the alkali or alkaline earth metal and the investigation of the nature of this bonding. The development of new synthetic routes has also allowed the preparation of a variety of anionic ligands with p block metal centers which promise new opportunities in coordination chemistry. In addition, the synthesis of a family of homologous anionic π complexes has given a fresh direction in the chemistry of p block metal metallocene complexes.

Electrooxidation of Aliphatic and Aromatic Amines at a Ni,Al Based Hydrotalcite Modified Electrode

The electrocatalytic oxidation of a wide series of aliphatic and aromatic amines was investigated in alkaline solutions at a gold electrode modified with a Ni,Al based hydrotalcite. All the amino compounds, with the exception of pyridine, were detected by the amperometric sensor. Chronoamperometric measurements at a rotating disk allowed us to use the same modified electrode for sequential analysis of several analytes in order to investigate the factors affecting the electrochemical response. By varying the characteristics of the substrate, parameters like steric hindrance, kind of amino group, and number of oxidizable sites have been studied. The concentration ranges, where the amperometric response was linear, have been determined for the amines investigated.     

Alkali Chloride Adducts of Acyclic Acylaluminum: Synthesis,Structure, and Reactivity Studies

Two acyclic acylaluminums and one cyclic acylaluminum dimer were synthesized by reaction of the recently reported Al-anion with acyl chloride. The reaction of the acylaluminums with TMSOTf and DMAP gave a ring-expanded iminium-substituted aluminate and a 2-C−H cleaved product. In the reaction of acylaluminums toward C=O and C=N bonds, acyclic acylaluminums reacted as an acyl nucleophile, while the cycilc dimer showed no reactivity. Amide-bond forming ligation using acyclic acylaluminums and hydroxylamines was further demonstrated. Throughout the study, acyclic acylaluminums exhibited higher reactivity than that of the cyclic dimer.     

Some Polynuclear Coordination Compounds Precursors of Chromites Synthesis,Physicochemical Characterization and Thermal Stability

The polynuclear coordination compounds LnCr(tartrate)₃·nH₂O where Ln(III)=La-Er, obtained through a precipitation method, were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, their electronic and vibrational spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The possibility of obtaining chromites through the transformations of the polynuclear coordination compounds in the solid state was considered. The thermal decompositions of these compounds, studied by TG and DTA methods, were found to follow an almost uniform pattern. The decompositions occurred in six-eight steps. The first two steps involved dehydration, and the third the transformation of tartrate anions to oxalate, followed by conversion to carbonate and oxocarbonate intermediates. The final product in each case was LnCrO₃. A non-isothermal kinetic analysis of the first decomposition steps was performed, the most probable decomposition mechanism being selected and the kinetic parameters evaluated. The final products of the transformations were characterized. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis of Catechol Derived Rosamine Dyes and Their Reactivity toward Biogenic Amines

Functional organic dyes play a key role in many fields, namely in biotechnology and medical diagnosis. Herein, we report two novel 2,3- and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl substituted rosamines (3 and 4, respectively) that were successfully synthesized through a microwave-assisted protocol. The best reaction yields were obtained for rosamine 4, which also showed the most interesting photophysical properties, specially toward biogenic amines (BAs). Several amines including n- and t-butylamine, cadaverine, and putrescine cause spectral changes of 4, in UV–Vis and fluorescence spectra, which are indicative of their potential application as an effective tool to detect amines in acetonitrile solutions. In the gas phase, the probe response is more expressive for spermine and putrescine. Additionally, we found that methanolic solutions of rosamine 4 and n-butylamine undergo a pink to yellow color change over time, which has been attributed to the formation of a new compound. The latter was isolated and identified as 5 (9−aminopyronin), whose solutions exhibit a remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity together with a shift toward more energetic wavelengths. Other 9-aminopyronins 6a, 6b, 7a, and 7b were obtained from methanolic solutions of 4 with putrescine and cadaverine, demonstrating the potential of this new xanthene entity to react with primary amines.     

Structurally Defined Allyl Compounds of Main Group Metals: Coordination and Reactivity

Organometallic allyl compounds are important as allylation reagents in organic synthesis, as polymerization catalysts, and as volatile metal precursors in material science. Whereas the allyl chemistry of synthetically relevant transition metals such as palladium and of the lanthanoids is well‐established, that of main group metals has been lagging behind. Recent progress on allyl complexes of Groups 1, 2, and 12–16 now provides a more complete picture. This is based on a fundamental understanding of metal–allyl bonding interactions in solution and in the solid state. Furthermore, reactivity trends have been rationalized and new types of allyl‐specific reactivity patterns have been uncovered. Key features include 1) the exploitation of the different types of metal–allyl bonding (highly ionic to predominantly covalent), 2) the use of synergistic effects in heterobimetallic compounds, and 3) the adjustment of Lewis acidity by variation of the charge of allyl compounds.     

1,3-Cyclohexadien-1-Als: Synthesis,Reactivity and Bioactivities

In synthetic organic chemistry, there are very useful basic compounds known as building blocks. One of the main reactions wherein they are applied for the synthesis of complex molecules is the Diels–Alder cycloaddition. This reaction is between a diene and a dienophile. Among the most important dienes are the cyclic dienes, as they facilitate the reaction. This review considers the synthesis and reactivity of one of these dienes with special characteristics—it is cyclic and has an electron withdrawing group. This building block has been used for the synthesis of biologically active compounds and is present in natural compounds with interesting properties.     

Synthesis,Reactivity and Structural Properties of Trifluoromethylphosphoranides

Phosphoranides are interesting hypervalent species which serve as model compounds for intermediates or transition states in nucleophilic substitution reactions at trivalent phosphorus substrates. Herein, the syntheses and properties of stable trifluoromethylphosphoranide salts are reported. [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF₃)₄], [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF₃)₃F], and [NMe₄][P(CF₃)₂F₂] were obtained by treatment of trivalent precursors with sources of CF₃⁻ or F⁻ units. These [P(CF₃)_4-nF_n]⁻ (n=0–2) salts exhibit fluorinating (n=1–2) or trifluoromethylating (n=0) properties, which is disclosed by studying their reactivity towards selected electrophiles. The solid-state structures of [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF₃)₄] and [K(18-crown-6)][P(CF₃)₃F] are ascertained by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The dynamics of these compounds are investigated by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy.
