Synthesis,Alkali Metal Picrate Extraction Properties,and X-Ray Crystal Structure of a Novel,Cage-Annulated Monoaza-18-Crown-6 Host

Compound 5, a cage-annulated monoaza-18-crown-6 macrocyclic polyether, has been synthesized, and its alkali metal picrate extraction capabilities have been assessed relative to those of the parent monoaza-18-crown-6 host system. It was observed that both 5 and monoaza-18-crown-6 are selective K⁺ picrate extractants; however, 5 appears generally to be a somewhat more efficient alkali metal picrate extractant than monoaza-18-crown-6. Interestingly, both the avidity and selectivity of 5 toward extraction of alkali metal picrates from aqueous solution into CHCl₃ appears to be pH dependent. In addition, the X-ray crystal structure of an unusual hydronium ion complex of 5 [i.e., 5(HCl)(H ₂ O)-(CHCl ₃ ) ₂] has been determined. The X-ray structure thus determined is compared with the corresponding structure of 5(HCl)(H ₂ O) that has been calculated via application of B3LYP Density Functional Theory.

5-Cyano-4,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one (1) has been prepared via a simple one-pot domino-Knoevenagel reaction starting from ethyl acetoacetate (2) and cyanoacetone (3). Similarly, a new racemic 3-cyano-5-methoxy-4-methyl-5H-furan-2-one (7) has been prepared from 1,1-dimethoxyacetone (6) and cyanoacetic acid (4). The new alkylidene derivatives (Z/E)-ethyl-4-cyano-3-methylbut-3-enoate (5), (Z/E)-ethyl 5-amino-4-cyano-3-methyl-5-oxopent-3-enoate (9), and (2,2-dimethoxy-1-methylethylidene)malononitrile (11) have been prepared via the Knoevenagel reactions. The easy access to these new compounds in good yields shows that ammonium acetate/acetic acid–catalyzed Knoevenagel reactions and domino-Knoevenagel reactions have a broad scope of application.

Abstract

The title compounds (4b-d) together with the benzothiazolines (5b-d) have been obtained by a reaction between 2,2′-dithiodianiline (1) and β-keto esters (2b-d). The reaction between 1 and the β-keto ester 2a gives 1,4-benzothiazine 3a in addition to the benzothiazoline 5a.

It has been established that the 1,4-benzothaizines 4b-d undergo an acid-catalysed thermal rearrangement involving a [1,3] shift of the sulfur atom, giving rise to the isomeric 1,4-benzothiazines 3b-d.

Microwave assisted synthesis and X-ray structure of a novel anthracene-derived aminophosphonate. Enantioseparation of two α-aminophosphonates and genotoxicity in vivo

A novel anthracene-derived α-aminophosphonate has been synthesized through a classical addition reaction of dimethyl phosphite to a Schiff base and via a microwave assisted Kabachnik–Fields reaction. The compound has been characterized by elemental analysis, TLC, IR, NMR, and fluorescent spectra. The X-ray analysis showed that the compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (N° 61) with one molecule per asymmetric unit. The enantioseparation of two racemic aminophosphonates (5 and 6) into enantiomers (5a, 5b and 6a, 6b, respectively) has been performed. Data about genotoxicity and antiproliferative activity in vivo of the racemic compounds and their enantiomeric forms is also presented. The studied racemic α-aminophosphonates 5 and 6 and their enantiomers have weak genotoxic effect. Both pairs of enantiomers did not show a significant inhibition of cell dividing processes in the bone marrow cells compared to 5 and 6. The hematopoietic function of the bone marrow will not be discontinued after exposure of the tested compounds.     

ELIMINATION OF THIOPHENOL FROM PHENYL ORTHOTHIOESTERS IN THE MASS SPECTROMETER AND NOVEL REARRANGEMENT OF KETENE THIOACETALS UPON ELECTRON IMPACT

Abstract

The mass spectra of four selected phenyl orthothioesters (1–4) have been measured. The obtained spectra revealed the conversion of the compounds (1–4) into ketene thioacetals (5–8) via the elimination of thiophenol in the mass spectrometer. The thermal nature of the process was confirmed and the mass spectra of ketene thioacetals (5–8) have been discussed. A novel fragmentation path for ketene thioacetals was suggested.     

Titanium-dioxide-mediated photocatalysed reaction of selected organic systems

The photocatalysed reaction of four selected organic systems, namely dichlone (1), 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (2), benzoyl peroxide (3) and 3-chloro perbenzoic acid (4), has been investigated in an acetonitrile/water mixture in the presence of titanium dioxide and oxygen. An attempt has been made to identify the products formed during the photo-oxidation process using the GC/MS analysis technique. The photolysis of dichlone (1) leads to the formation of phthalic anhydride (11) and 1H-indene-1,2,3-trione (10), whereas 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (2) gave rise to 2,2′-diamino bipyridyl (14), 2-pyridinamine (16), 2-hydroxy-5-chloropyridine (18), bipyridyl (19) and 2-amino bipyridyl (21). The photolysis of benzoyl peroxide (3) yielded a mixture of products such as benzoic acid (24), biphenyl (27), biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (29) and benzoic acid phenyl ester (30). Two intermediate products, as 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (35) and hydroxyl added 3-chlorobenzaldehyde (33), have been identified in the case of 3-chloro perbenzoic acid (4). The products have been identified by comparing the molecular ion and mass fragmentation peaks of the products with those reported in the GC-MS library. A probable mechanism for the formation of the products has been proposed.     

Fluorination of tertiary alcohols derived from di-O-isopropylidenehexofuranose and O-isopropylidenepentofuranose

The stereo- and regioselectivity of the dehydroxyfluorination of various tertiary alcohols derived from di-O-isopropylidenehexofuranose and 1,2-O-isopropylidenepentofuranose has been studied. Reactions have been accomplished using DAST and PFPDEA (1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene-diethylamine adduct) as fluorinating reagents. Dehydroxyfluorination of allylic alcohol 2a has occurred with an inversion of configuration and allylic rearrangement leading to two chiral regioisomers 6a and 7a. Analogous reaction of 2b has given allylic chiral fluoride 7b as the only product. In case of phenylacetylene, styryl and benzylic alcohols 3a/3b-5a/5b the single diastereoisomers 8a/8b-10a/10b have been obtained. Additionally, the participation of 1,2-O-substituent effect in carbocation stabilization during fluorination have been discussed.

Highly soluble Ni(II) vic-dioxime complexes containing branched thioether with alkyl chains of different lengths: synthesis and characterization

vic-Dioxime ligands (LH₂) containing branched alkylthioether chains of different length have been prepared from (E,E)-dichloroglyoxime and corresponding thiol derivatives. Mononuclear Ni(II) complexes (5a–5c) were synthesized in ethanol by reacting NiCl₂ · 6H₂O with new ligands (4a–4c) in the presence of KOH. Branched alkylthioether moieties appended at the periphery of the oxime provide solubility for the vic-dioxime complexes in common organic solvents. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, and ESI-Mass spectrometry. While 5a and 5b are solid at room temperature, 5c is obtained as an orange viscous liquid. The thermal stabilities of the complexes were determined by thermogravimetric analysis.

For 1, 2, 5 and 6, each carboxylate moiety is involved in coordination to a tin center via only one O atom showing that the Sn atoms are five-coordinate and exist in trigonal bipyramidal geometries. Moreover, for 2, 5 and 6, the nitrogen atoms of ammonium are hydrogen bonded to the pendant carboxyl oxygen. In 1, adjacent polymeric chains and triethylammonium are linked by hydrogen bonds through the co-crystallized water molecule, thus a 2D network is formed.
