Synthesis and microbial screening of 8-(benzyloxy)-5-(2-[1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]thiazol-4-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives

The present investigation describe the synthesis of 8-(benzyloxy)-5-(2-[1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]thiazol-4-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives. Quinolin-8-ol was transformed by five step synthetic procedures into 8-Benzyloxy-5-(2-bromo-acetyl)-1H-quinolin-2-one. Subsequently, 8-Benzyloxy-5-(2-bromo-acetyl)-1H-quinolin-2-one condensed with 1,3-Diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbothioic acid amide in the presence of acetonitrile to afford 8-(benzyloxy)-5-(2-[1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]thiazol-4-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives. Synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Most of the synthesized compounds are found to be active against tested bacterial strains and fungal strain.

Pt(II) and Pd(II) methyl- and chloro-complexes with the tridentate N-donor ligands ((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)quinolin-8-amine (NNPy), ((pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)quinolin-8-yl-amine (NNMePy), (phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)quinolin-8-yl-amine (NNPhPy), ((thiazol-2-yl)methylene)quinolin-8-amine (NNTh) and ((imidazol-4-yl)methylene)quinolin-8-amine (NNImH) were prepared by metal-assisted condensation of 8-aminoquinoline and an ortho-substituted aldehydo- or keto- N-heterocycle. Preliminary reactivity studies involving the coordinated tridentate N-donors, the chloro-ligand and the M-CH₃ bond were carried out, leading to the synthesis of several new complexes. During these studies, the formation of a novel five-coordinate Pt(II) carbonyl-complex was observed.

THF solutions of the cationic chiral 1,3-diphenylallyl bidentate phosphine complexes [Pd(eta(3)-PhCHCHCHPh)(Duphos)](CF(3)SO(3)), Duphos = 1,2-Bis-((2R,5R)-2,5-dimethylphospholano)benzene), 2, and [Pd(eta(3)-PhCHCHCHPh)(P,S)]BF(4), 4, P,S = [8-((o-(diphenylphosphino)benzyl) thiomethyl]-(7,7'-dimethyl)-exo-norborneol, have been studied via pulsed gradient spin-echo (PGSE) diffusion, (1)H, (19)F HOESY and a variety of other multi-dimensional NMR methods. On the basis of the (1)H, (19)F HOESY data, the anions show a preference for a specific structural position with respect to the eta(3)-PhCHCHCHPh allyl ligand, i.e. the anion does not move evenly around the periphery of the cation. THF is shown to promote significant ion pairing, although neither 2 nor 4 shows 100% ion pairing.     

Oligodentate P,N ligands: N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,3-diaminobenzene complexes of rhodium, nickel and palladium

The oligodentate P,N ligand N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,3-diaminobenzene reacts with two equivalents of [{Rh(mu-Cl)(COD)}(2)], [NiBr(2)(DME)] or [PdCl(2)(NCMe)(2)](COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, DME = dimethoxyethane) in dichloromethane to give the tetranuclear complex [1,3-{cis-Rh(COD)(mu-Cl)(2)Rh(PPh(2))(2)N}(2)C(6)H(4)](1) or the dinuclear complexes [1,3-{cis-NiBr(2)(PPh(2))(2)N}(2)C(6)H(4)](2) and [1,3-{cis-PdCl(2)(PPh(2))(2)N}(2)C(6)H(4)](3), respectively.

The molecular structure of 2 and 3 shows the formation of a bis-chelate complex with M-P-N-P four-membered rings (M = Pd, Ni). An N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,3-diaminobenzene/Pd(OAc)(2) mixture was used for the copolymerisation of carbon monoxide with ethene or ethylidenenorbornene. Compound 1 was employed as catalyst in the hydrogenation of styrene.

A variety of neutral palladium(II) complexes [Pd(L–L)Cl₂] containing 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)propane (1), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-pentylpropane (2), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-phenylpropane (3a), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-tolylpropane (4), and 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-ferrocenylpropane (5) as chelate ligands (L–L) have been synthesized. The crystal structures of 1,3-diphenyl-2,4-di-pyridin-2-yl-butan-1-ol (3b), 5, [(2)PdCl₂], [(4)PdCl₂], and [(5)PdCl₂] have been determined and show a square planar geometry at palladium(II). The neutral complexes were tested in the polymerization of norbornene and copolymerization of norbornene with norbornene derivatives. The complex bearing the pentyl group exhibited high reactivity to give up to 5.9×10⁵ in molecular weight for the homopolymerization. When [(4)PdCl₂] or [(5)PdCl₂] was used as a catalyst, homopolymers insoluble at 150 °C in trichlorobenzene were obtained. However, copolymerization of norbornene with norbornene derivatives 8a–d catalyzed by [(4)PdCl₂] gave soluble copolymers with molecular weights up to 5.1×10⁵.

1,3-dialkyl- and 1,3-diaryl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene rhodium(i) and palladium(II) complexes: synthesis, structure, and reactivity

The synthesis of novel 1,3-diaryl- and 1,3-dialkylpyrimidin-2-ylidene-based N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and their rhodium(i) and palladium(II) complexes is described. The rhodium compounds bromo(cod)[1,3-bis(2-propyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene]rhodium (7), bromo(cod)(1,3-dimesityl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene)rhodium (8) (cod=eta(4)-1,5-cyclooctadiene, mesityl=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), chloro(cod)(1,3-dimesityl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene)rhodium (9), and chloro(cod)[1,3-bis(2-propyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene]rhodium (10) were prepared by reaction of [[Rh(cod)Cl](2)] with lithium tert-butoxide followed by addition of 1,3-dimesityl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium bromide (3), 1,3-dimesityl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium tetrafluoroborate (4), 1,3-di-2-propyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium bromide (6), and 1,3-di-2-propyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinium tetrafluoroborate, respectively. Complex 7 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, and 8 in the monoclinic space group P2(1). Complexes 9 and 10 were used for the synthesis of the corresponding dicarbonyl complexes dicarbonylchloro(1,3-dimesityl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene)rhodium (11), and dicarbonylchloro[1,3-bis(2-propyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene]rhodium (12). The wavenumbers nu(CO I)/nu(CO II) for 11 and 12 were used as a quantitative measure for the basicity of the NHC ligand. The values of 2062/1976 and 2063/1982 cm(-1), respectively, indicate that the new NHCs are among the most basic cyclic ligands reported so far. Compounds 3 and 6 were additionally converted to the corresponding cationic silver(i) bis-NHC complexes [Ag(1,3-dimesityl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene)(2)]AgBr(2) (13) and [Ag[1,3-bis(2-propyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene](2)]AgBr(2) (14), which were subsequently used in transmetalation reactions for the synthesis of the corresponding palladium(II) complexes Pd(1,3-dimesityl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene)(2) (2+)(Ag(2)Br(2)Cl(4) (4-))(1/2) (15) and Pd[1,3-bis(2-propyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene)(2)]Cl(2) (16). Complex 15 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, and 16 in the monoclinic space group C(2)/c. The catalytic activity of 15 and 16 in Heck-type reactions was studied in detail. Both compounds are highly active in the coupling of aliphatic and aromatic vinyl compounds with aryl bromides and chlorides with turnover numbers (TONs) up to 2000000. Stabilities of 15 and 16 under Heck-couplings conditions were correlated with their molecular structure. Finally, selected kinetic data for these couplings are presented.

Two lacunary α-B-[PW_9O_(34)]~(9-) Keggin units are linked by a rhomb-like Co_4O_(14)(H_2O)_2 cluster, in which the Co~(2+) ions are coordinated by one water molecule. Isolatedly protonated 1,3-H2dap~(2+) units act as counter-ions to interact with the [Co_4(H_2O)_2(α-B-PW_9O_(34))_2]~(10-) heteropolyanions via hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional framework.

Template Synthesis of a Tetraaza Macrocycle Which Involves Benzaldehyde Rather Than Formaldehyde as a Building Block. Isolation and Structure Determination of the Open-Chain Schiff Base Intermediate Complex

The classical formaldehyde building block has been replaced by the bulkier benzaldehyde in the Cu(II) template synthesis of the cyclam-like tetraaza macrocycle of type 1, in which nitroethane operated as locking fragment. The synthetic pathway involves three distinct steps: (i) Schiff base condensation of the metal-free open-chain tetramine; (ii) Cu(II) coordination and preorientation of the Schiff base; (iii) nucleophilic attack by the deprotonated nitroethane fragment and formation of the macrocyclic complex. Both the Schiff base Cu(II) complex and the Cu(II) macrocyclic complex were isolated in a crystalline form and their molecular structures were determined: {N-[2-((E)-benzylideneamino)ethyl]-N'-[2-((Z)-benzylideneamino)ethyl]propane-1,3-diamine}copper(II) nitrate: triclinic, space group P&onemacr;, with a = 12.296(5) ?, b = 10.787(6) ?, c = 10.547(7) ?, V = 1161(1) ?(3), and Z = 2 (R = 0.055, R(w) = 0.061); [(5R,6S,7S)-6-methyl-6-nitro-5,7-diphenyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane]copper(II) perchlorate: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 15.246(5) ?, b = 23240(7) ?, c = 8.540(4) ?, V = 2980(2) ?(3), and Z = 4 (R = 0.095, R(w) = 0.095). This allowed us to define mechanistic details of the macrocyclization process. It is suggested that the same three-step pathway takes place in the much easier and faster one-pot template syntheses of cyclam-like macrocyles, which involve formaldehyde as a building block.     

Syntheses, Structures and Fluorescent Property of Two Cd（II） 3D Coordination Polymers with Mixed Ligands of Azide and Piperazine Derivatives

Two new coordination polymers, [Cd(N3)2(Baep)1/2]n(1) and [Cd2(N3)4(CH3OH)(Bapp)1/2]n(2) (Baep=1,4-bis(2-aminoethyl)piperazine, Bapp=1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine) were synthesized.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that 1 is a 3D structure based on a dinuclear unit {Cd2(N3)4(Baep)}, in which the Baep ligands formed in situ display two different bridging modes. Compound 2 also has a 3D structure based on a tetranuclear cluster {Cd4(N3)8(CH3OH)2(Bapp)}, in which the azido anions exhibit four different bridging modes (μ-1,1, μ-1,3, μ-1,1,1 and μ-1,1,3). The thermal stability and fluorescent property of 1 and 2 have also been investigated.

The title complex Sm2(bdc)3(phen)2n (1, H2bdc = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthrolin), a new samarium(Ⅲ) complex based on ligand H2 bdc and 1,10-phenanthrolin, has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure reveals that the Sm(1) centre adopts an eight-coordinated distorted square anti-prism coordination geometry, while the Sm(2) centre adopts a nine-coordinated distorted monocapped square prism coordination geometry. The ligand bdc 2-takes two different connecting modes and links the Sm(Ⅲ) centers to give rise to a 2D network structure. Further, 2D layers of 1 are connected together to form a 3D structure through C-H···O hydrogen bonding interactions.

The final R = 0.0683 and wR = 0.1529 for 3655 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). In the title complex, the 2D Co-BPTC layer is formed through self-assembly of Co(II) ions and bridging BPTC~(4-) ligands in a molar ratio of 2:1. The metal-organic lattice layers are further united together through the second bridging ligand bix to form a 3D metal-organic framework. The thermal stability of the title complex was studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA).     

Some cyclization reactions of 1,3-diphenylbenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-7(1H)-one: preparation and computational analysis of non symmetrical zwitterionic biscyanines

Regioselective nucleophilic addition of bisnucleophiles 1,2-benzenediamine, 2-amino-benzenethiol, and N-phenyl-1,2-benzenediamine to 1,3-diphenylbenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-7(1H)-one (1) at C6 followed by intramolecular cyclocondensation at the C7 carbonyl afforded highly coloured tetracenes 1,3-diphenyl-1,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]phenazin-4-ium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (12), 1,3-diphenyl-1H-[1,2,4]triazino[6,5-b]phenothiazine (14) and 1,3,11-triphenyl-1,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]phenazin-11-ium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (15), respectively. Neutralization of the latter with alkali gave the free base 1,3,11-triphenyl-1H-[1,2,4]triazino[5,6-b]phenazin-11-ium-6-ide (16). Furthermore, the benzotriazinone 1 reacts with dimethyl malonate to give 6-(methoxycarbonyl)-7-oxo-1,3-diphenyl-7H-benzofuro[5,6-e][1,2,4]triazin-1-ium-4-ide (17) in 74% yield, while with S(4)N(4) [5,6-c]-thiadiazolo-7-oxo-1,3-diphenyl-1,2,4-benzotriazine (22) was formed in 15% yield. The free bases 16 and 17 display negative solvatochromism, which supports charge separated ground states similar to those of zwitterionic biscyanines, and DFT calculations at the UB3LYP/6-31G(d) level afford ΔE(ST) values of -13.6 and -18.7 kcal mol(-1), respectively that strongly favour the singlet ground state. All ring systems described are new and fully characterized.     

Electrical properties and electronic states of molecular conductors based on unsymmetrical organometallic-dithiolene gold(III) complexes

The electronic properties of cation radical salts derived from organometallic mixed-ligand complexes [(ppy)Au(S-S)](ppy- = C-dehydro-2-phenylpyridine(-); S-S(2-) = dithiolene ligand) with Au(III)-C sigma-bond were investigated. A 2:1 salt complex [(ppy)Au(C8H4S8)]2[PF6] (C8H4S8(2-) = 2-((4,5-ethylenedithio)-1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate(2-)) exhibited semiconductive behavior under ambient pressure (rho rt = 2.6 Omega cm, Ea = 0.03 eV). Magnetic measurements show that it is a Mott insulator close to the metal-insulator boundary. Raman and infrared spectra have revealed that the complex has a quasi-one-dimensional dimeric structure consisting of uniformly charged donor molecules. The complex exhibits metallic behavior at pressures above 0.8 GPa. In contrast, a similar compound [(ppy)Au(C8H4S6O2)]2[BF4] (C8H4S6O2(2-) = 2-((4,5-ethylenedioxy)-1,3-dithiole-2-ylidene)-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate(2-)) is a band insulator.

The X-ray crystal structures of 1,3-diphenyl-2-methylpropane-1,3-dione and 1,3-diphenyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dione show them both to adopt cis-diketo (Z,Z) conformations with carbonyl—carbonyl dihedral angles of 89.0(3)° (2-methyl derivative), and 85.5(4)° and 77.7(4)° for the two molecules in the asymmetric unit of the 2-(4-methoxyphenyl) derivative. These are the first acyclic β-diketones with an α-hydrogen to be reported which do not have an enol configuration in the solid state.
