Silver(I) Complexes of Schiff Bases Derived from Thiophene-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde and Furan-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde

The reactions of Schiff bases, derived by the condensation of thiophene-2,5-dicarbaldehyde and furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde with 2-thienylmethylamine or 2-furanmethylamine, with silver nitrate have been studied in refluxing anhydrous methanol under nitrogen atmosphere. Complexes thus formed have been isolated and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductance, cyclic voltammetry, and ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, LTV-Vis, and mass spectroscopic studies. The experimental results reveal that the complexes are primarily ionic in nature, consisting of (L)₃Ag₂ dication and Ag(NO₃)₃ negatively charged dianions. The molecular structure of one of the complexes, [((C₄H₃O)CH₂N? CH(C₄H₂S)CH? NCH₂(C₄H₃O))₃Ag₂] [Ag(NO₃)₃] has been studied in the solid state. The complex is crystallized in the triclinic space group $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $ with a = 12.889(7) Å, b = 14.884(5) Å, c = 15.084(6) Å, α = 92.18(4)°, β = 79.78(4)°, γ = 110.92(4)°. The structure is disordered. Each Ag in dication is tri-coordinated by three azomethine N atoms from three ligands, and each ligand employs two azomethine N atoms to coordinate to two Ag ions such that the geometry around the Ag ?Ag axis conforms to a propeller-shape. The two Ag ions are between the two N₃ planes with Ag ? Ag distance ca. 4.8.1 Å. There is no bonding between any Ag ion and any thiophene of the three ligands. However, two Ag ions and three thiophene S atoms form a trigonal bipyramidal geometry.     

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide and Furan-2,5-dicarboxamide Derivatives

Derivatives based on pyridine-2-6- and furan-2,5-dicarboxamide scaffolds reveal numerous chemical properties and biological activities. This fact makes them an exciting research topic in supramolecular and coordination chemistry and in discovering new pharmacologically-active compounds. This work aimed to obtain a series of symmetrical pyridine-2-6- and furan-2,5-dicarboxamides through a condensation reaction of the appropriate acyl chlorides and aromatic amides. Successful syntheses were confirmed with NMR spectroscopy. We solved their crystal structures for seven compounds; two pyridine and five furan derivatives. Based on our crystallographic studies, we were able to indicate supramolecular features of the crystals under investigation. Additionally, Hirshfeld surface analysis allowed us to calculate a distribution of intermolecular contacts in the dicarboxamide crystals.

A new method for the isolation and estimation of Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid in human urine

Summary A new, concise and efficient method of isolation and estimation of F. D. A. avoiding heating with acids, has been devised.Inositol and calcium gluconate when added to urine and subjected to the old method of isolation of F. D. A. result in no increase in the amount of F. D. A. This indicates that the increase in the output of this acid obtained before⁴ was a process within the body itself.Metabolic experiments with inositol and calcium gluconate adopting the new method gave a 3–4 fold increase in the F. D. A. output confirming that this increase is anin vivo process.

Zusammenfassung Eine neue, genaue Methode zur Isolierung und Bestimmung von Furandicarbonsäure (F. D. C.) ohne Erhitzen des angesäuerten Untersuchungs-materials wurde ausgearbeitet. Werden Inosit und Calciumgluconat dem Harn vor Aufarbeitung nach der alten Methode zugesetzt, so führt dies zu keiner Erhöhung der F. D. C.-Menge. Die früher beobachtete Vermehrung der F. D. C.-Menge ist also die Folge von Vorgängen innerhalb des Organismus. Stoffwechselexperimente mit Inosit und Calciumgluconat mit der neuen Methode zeigen eine drei bis vierfach gesteigerte F. D. C.-Ausscheidung und bestätigen damit deren vermehrte Bildung in vivo.

Résumé On a imaginé une nouvelle méthode rapide et efficace pour isoler et doser le F. D. A. en évitant le chauffage avec les acides. L'inositol et le gluconate de calcium, ajoutés à l'urine et soumis à la vieille méthode d'isolement du F. D. A. ne produisent pas de surcharge sur la quantité de F. D. A. Ce fait indique que l'augmentation du rendement de cet acide, obtenue auparavant, était un processus dans le corps humain lui-même.Des expériences sur le métabolisme avec l'inositol et le gluconate de calcium, en adoptant la nouvelle méthode, ont donné une augmentation de trois à quatre fois le rendement en F. D. A., ce qui confirme que cette augmentation se produitin vivo.

     

Selective Oxidation of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural to Furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde with Sodium Nitrite in Phosphoric Acid

5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural is readily oxidized to furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde with sodium nitrite in phosphoric acid at room temperature (25°C). The best selectivity for furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde is achieved using 2.5 equiv of sodium nitrite with respect to the substrate. In this case, nearly quantitative yield of furan- 2,5-dicarbaldehyde is attained in 1 h, the substrate conversion being complete. Due to high selectivity in combination with low cost and toxicity of phosphoric acid, the system NaNO₂–H₃PO₄ is more convenient than NaNO₂–CF₃COOH for the preparative synthesis of furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde.     

Facile Synthesis of Furan-3,4-diacetates

A procedure for bis-cyclopropanation of furans with ethyl diazoacetate or methyl α-diazopropionate under dirhodium-tetraacetate catalysis is presented. Treatment of the products with ethanolic HCl furnished furan-3,4-diacetates.     

The Crystal and Molecular Structures of Pb(II) Complexes with Furan-2-Carboxylate and Furan-3-Carboxylate Ligands

The crystals of Pb(II) 2-furancarboxylate (title compound I) contain tetrameric structural units Pb₄(2-FCA)₈(H₂O₂) in which four Pb(II) ions are bridged by carboxylate oxygen atoms forming a circular moiety. In addition, pairs of Pb(II) ions are bridged by carboxylate oxygen atoms inside this moiety. The molecular pattern observed in Pb(II) 3-furancarboxylate (title compound II) is polymeric. It consists of Pb(3-FCA)₂(H₂O) structural units bridged by carboxylate oxygen atoms donated by the furan-3-carboxylate (3-FCA) ligands which are bidentate, using both their carboxylate oxygen atoms for chelation. The coordination around Pb(II) ions is eightfold and ninefold including, apart from carboxylate oxygen atoms, a water oxygen atom and oxygen atoms donated by the furan rings of the ligand molecules. Hydrogen bonds with the water molecule as the donor operate between adjacent ligand molecules. The stereochemical activity of the lone 6s ² electron pair on the Pb(II) is observed in title compound II.

Novel Ylidic Phosphoryl Compounds from Halogenated Furan-2,5-Diones with Trivalent Phosphorus Esters: Application of this Approach to New Trisphosphonates Containing a Geminal Bisphosphonate Unit

Abstract

The reactions of trivalent phosphorus esters, including trialkyl phosphites, dialkyl phosphonites, and alkyl phosphinites, with 3-halo- and 3,4-dihalo-furan-2,5-diones has been shown to lead to the formation of novel phosphorus ylides possessing additional phosphoryl-containing groups. For the reaction of 3,4-dihalo-furan-2,5-diones with trialkyl phosphites, the products are trialkoxyphosphonium ylides containing an adjacent geminal bisphosphonate unit. These can be used to provide a convenient route to novel 2,3,3-tris(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-substituted propionate esters which can be hydrolyzed to give the corresponding novel trisphosphonic monocarboxylic acid.     

Conformational Effect on CNDO Force Field of Furan-2-Aldehyde

The complete sets of force constants for both O, O-cis and O,O-trans furand-2-aldehyde conformers were calculated using the CNDO force method. The force constants were corrected by ten empirical scaling factors. The calculated and observed frequencies agree well in most cases. Comparing the force constants of the two conformers, the largest deviations can be found in the interaction terms belonging to the aldehyde group.

Polymerization behaviour of 2,5-dimethylene- 2,5-dihydrofuran

Spontaneous homopolymerization of 2,5-dimethylene-2,5-dihydrofuran (DDF) was studied. The polymerization rates in two different initial monomer concentrations of DDF were analyzed with the first-order and second-order kinetics, and the homopolymerization of DDF was found to obey the first-order kinetics. The Arrhenius plot of the apparent rate constants at 30, 40, 50, and 60° gave an overall activation energy of 68.0 kJ/mol for the polymerization of DDF. From the comparison of the apparent rate constants at –78° and the time (the so-called half-life time) to decrease in half the monomer concentration for DDF with the corresponding values for p-xylylene (QM), DDF was found to be a less reactive monomer than QM. The copolymerizations of DDF with vinyl monomers such as acrylonitrile (AN), α-chloroacrylonitrile (CIAN), diethyl fumarate (DEF), and fumaronitrile (FN) were carried out in chloroform at 50° in the presence of AIBN to obtain the monomer reactivity ratios r₁(DDF) = 30.0 ± 3.0 and r₂ (AN) = 0 for the DDF-AN system, r₁ (DDF) = 1.55 ± 0.2 and r₂(CIAN) = 0 for the DDF-CIAN system, r₁(DDF) = 3.88 ± 0.2 and r₂(DEF) = 0 for the DDF-DEF system, and r₁(DDF) = 2.41 ± 0.1 and r₂ (FN) = 0 for the DDF-FN system, respectively. As the monomer reactivity ratios of r₂ for all systems were zero, Q and e values of DDF were calculated from the combination of two r₁ (DDF) values of any two copolymerization systems to be the 7.64 to 6.63 ×10²¹ range for Q and the –0.70 to –6.31 range for e, indicating that DDF is a highly conjugative and electron-donating monomer. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Novel Access to Furan-3-thiols and Derivatives,Impact Meat-Flavor Compounds

A versatile process for the preparation of a number of 3-thio-substituted furans 1–4 is described. These products have very low odor thresholds and are thus potent flavor compounds. Fur-3-yl thiocyanates 10a , b as well as other S-containing analogues ( 2b , 7a , b , and 8 ) were prepared by a Michael-type addition of thiocyanic acid, thioacetic acid, alakanethiols, and sodium thiosulfate to alkynones 6 or 15 , followed by cyclization (Schemes 3 and 4). The thiocyanates 10a, b were converted to mixed disulfides 3 , symmetric disulfides 4 , thioethers 2 , and thiols 1 , using ‘hard’ or ‘soft’ nucleophiles or reducing agents, respectively (Scheme 6).
