Coordination properties of 4(5)-hydroxymethylimidazole and 4(5)-hydroxymethyl-5(4)-methylimidazole towards cobalt(II) ions

Two new complexes of imidazole alcohols, 4-hydroxymethylimidazole (4-CH₂OHim) and 4-hydroxymethyl-5-methylimidazole (4-CH₂OH-5-CH₃im), with cobalt(II) of formula [CoL₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ were obtained. These compounds were described through single X-ray diffraction studies, spectroscopic (Ir. Far-IR, UV-Vis-NIR) and magnetic measurements. In the present complexes imidazole ligands are bidentate coordinating the heterocyclic ring through pyridine-like nitrogen and the oxygen atom of the hydroxymethyl group (chromophore CoN₂O₄). The shape of Co(II) coordination polyhedra is that of a distorted octahedron, with the equatorial plane defined by the 4-CH₂OHim (or 4-CH₂OH-5-CH₃im) bidentate ligands and two water molecules occupying axial positions (i.e. trans to each other). Formation of successive cobalt(II) complexes with 4-CH₂OH-5-CH₃im in aqueous solution was followed quantitatively by potentiometry.     

Synthese von 4(5)-acyl-5(4)-alkylimidazolen aus symmetrischen 1,3-dicarbonylverbindungen

Synthesis of 4(5)-Acyl-5(4)-alkylimidazoles from Symmetrical 1,3-Diones A new synthesis of 4(5)-acyl-5(4)-alkylimidazoles 1 is described. The symmetrical 1,3-diones 5a and 5b were reacted with N₂O₄ to give the nitro compounds 7a and 7b , respectively; 5c was treated with NaNO₂ to give the nitroso compound 7c (Scheme 2). Hydrogenation of 7a , 7b and 7c over Pd/C in acetic acid/acetic formic anhydride yielded the formamides 9a , 9b and 9c , whose cyclization in formamide/formic acid afforded the 4(5)-acyl-5(4)-alkylimidazoles 1a, 1b and 1c , respectively. Oxazoles 11a and 11b were obtained from the corresponding formamides 9a and 9b with methanesulfonic acid/P₂O₅.     

Synthesis of ribonucleosides of 4(5)-cyano-5(4)-methylimidazole and related 4-substituted-5-methylimidazole ribosides

4-Cyano-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-methylimidazole ( 4 ) and its corresponding 5-cyano-4-methyl substituted isomer ( 5 ) have been obtained by ribosylation of 4(5)-cyano-5(4)-methylimidazole ( 3 ) via the mercuric cyanide method or by ribosylation of the trimethylsilyl derivative of 3 . Treatment of 4 with methanolic ammonia, ammonium chloride in liquid ammonia and potassium hydrosulfide provided 4-cyano-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-5-methylimidazole ( 6 ), 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-5-methylimidazole-4-carboxamide ( 2 ) and 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-5-methylimidazole-4-thiocarboxamide ( 11 ) respectively. Reaction of 6 with hydroxylamine afforded the corresponding 4-carboxamidoxime substituted nucleoside ( 13 ) which on catalytic reduction in the presence of ammonium chloride, was transformed into 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-5-methylimidazole-4-carboxamidine ( 14 ) as hydrochloride salt.

Treatment of 4(5)-phenyl(or alkyl)-2-aminoimidazoles with isoamyl nitrite in acetic acid afforded the corresponding 4(5)-substituted 2-amino-5(4)-hydroxyimino-5(4)H-imidazoles which by heating in water were transformed into 3-benzoyl(or acyl)-5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles.

Exo-metal coordination by a tricyclic [(P(mu-N-2-NC5H4))2(mu-O)]2 dimer in [(P(mu-N-2-NC5H4))2(mu-O)]2(CuCl x (C5H5N)2)4 (2-NC5H4 = 2-pyridyl, C5H5N = pyridine)

On the electronic origins of structural isomerism in the iron-sulfur cubane, [(C(5)H(5))(4)Fe(4)S(4)](2+)

Density functional theory provides new insights into the structural isomerism observed in the cyclopentadienyl-capped iron-sulfur cluster, [(C(5)H(5))(4)Fe(4)S(4)](2+). Two distinct, closely spaced minima have been located, a triplet with D(2) symmetry and a C(2)-symmetric singlet, both of which correspond closely to the structure of one of the known crystal forms of the cation. Thus, the structural diversity in these species reflects genuine molecular bistability rather than simple solid-state packing effects. In contrast, no stable D(2)(d)()-symmetric minimum has been located, suggesting that the reported D(2)(d)() symmetry of the cation in [(C(5)H(5))(4)Fe(4)S(4)][PF(6)](2) may be a crystallographic artifact. In the ruthenium analogue, the more diffuse 4d orbitals stabilize the C(2)-symmetric singlet, which is unambiguously the ground state, but the D(2)-symmetric potential energy surface provides a viable low-energy pathway for the dynamic exchange of the Ru-Ru bonds.     

Biferrocenium tetrabromoferrate, [(C5H5)Fe(C5H4)- (C5H4)Fe(C5H5)]FeBr4. The X-ray structural characterization of a mixed-valence compound

Biferrocenium tetrabromoferrate, [(C₅H₅)Fe(C₅H₄)-(C₅H₄)Fe(C₅H₅)]FeBr₄ (1) obtained as a by-product in the synthesis of biferrocenium trihalide salts, crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group, P2₁2₁2₁: (at 296 K) a 7.492(2), b 9.903 (2), c 31.604(9) Å, V 2345(1) ų, and Z = 4. The cation, similar to other structurally characterized biferrocenium salts, adopts a trans-configuration, but, in contrast, possesses no crystallographically imposed symmetry relating the two ferrocenyl environments. Different average Fe-ring distances at the two environments: Fe(1), 2.02(2) and Fe(2), 2.08(2) Å are typical of iron(II) and iron(III) states, respectively, indicating the presence of trapped oxidation states. Interionic contacts are both shorter and more numerous for the iron(III) ferrocenyl fragment than for the iron(II) fragment. Both ferrocenyl units have non-eclipsed ring configurations, with a staggering angle of 6.5(3)° at Fe(1) and 23.5(3)° at Fe(2). The FeBr₄⁻ counterion is tetrahedral and ordered.     

The Use of 4-Cyanoaminomethylene-2-phenyl-5(4h)-oxazolone in the Synthesis of Some Heteroarylaminomethylene Substituted 5(4H)-Oxazolones

The use of 4-cyanoaminomethylene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone in the synthesis of some 4-heteroarylaminomethylene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolones was studied. Synthesis of 4-(1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)aminomethylene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolone is described.     

Synthesis of (C5Me5)2(C5Me4H)UMe, (C5Me5)2(C5H5)UMe, and (C5Me5)2UMe[CH(SiMe3)2] from cationic metallocenes for the evaluation of sterically induced reduction

To probe the correlation of unusual (C5Me5)(1-) reactivity with steric crowding in complexes such as (C5Me5)3UMe and (C5Me5)3UCl, slightly less crowded (C5Me5)2(C5Me4H)UX analogues (X = Me, Cl) were synthesized and their reactivity was evaluated. The utility of the cationic precursors [(C5Me5)2UMe](1+), 1, and [(C5Me5)2UCl](1+), 2, in the synthesis of (C5Me5)2(C5Me4H)UMe, 3, and (C5Me5)2(C5Me4H)UCl, 4, was also explored. Since the use of precursor [(C5Me5)2UMe][MeBPh3], 1a, is complicated by the equilibrium between 1a and (C5Me5)2UMe2/BPh3, the reactivity of [(C5Me5)2UMe(OTf)]2, 1b, (OTf = O3SCF3) prepared from (C5Me5)2UMe2 and AgOTf, was also studied. Both 1a and 1b react with KC5Me4H to form 3. Complex 4 readily forms by addition of KC5Me4H to [(C5Me5)2UCl][MeBPh3], generated in situ from (C5Me5)2UMeCl and BPh3. Complex 1b was preferred to 1a for the synthesis of (C5Me5)2(C5H5)UMe, 5, and (C5Me5)2UMe[CH(SiMe3)2], 6, from KC5H5 and LiCH(SiMe3)2, respectively. Complex 6 is the first example of a mixed alkyl uranium metallocene complex. Sterically induced reduction (SIR) reactivity was not observed with 3-6 although the methyl displacements from the (C5Me5)(1-) ring plane for 3 are the closest observed to date to those of SIR-active complexes. The (1)H NMR spectra of 3 and 4 are unusual in that all of the (C5Me4H)(1-) methyl groups are inequivalent. This structural rigidity is consistent with density-functional theory calculations.
