手性Ru复合物催化剂的固载化及其不对称氢转移反应催化应用

Chiral Ru-BsDPEN, (1R,2R)-N-p-benzenesulfonyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine, catalyst has been immobilized on a mesoporous molecular sieve of MCM-41 type successfully. A hybrid mesoporous molecular sieve was synthesized using a precursor bearing benzene group, which in organosilica were sulfonylated and reacted with (1R,2R)-l,2-diphenylethylenediamine and [RuC1E(p-cymene)]2 successively to afford immobilized catalyst. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) pore size decreased after immobilization of catalyst onto the mesoporous material. Enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones catalyzed by immobilized catalyst showed the highest yield of 22.36% and e.e. value of 31.47% by using acetophenone as substrate when reaction time was 48 and 16 h respectively.     

Regioselective Rhodium-Catalyzed 1,2-Hydroboration of Pyridines and Quinolines Enabled by the Tris(8-quinolinyl)phosphite Ligand**

A Rh(I) complex [κ²(P,N)-{P(Oquin)₃}RhCl(PPh₃)] ( 1 ) bearing the P,N ligand tris(8-quinolinyl)phosphite, P(Oquin)₃, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The molecular structure of complex 1 shows that P(Oquin)₃ acts as a bidentate P,N chelate ligand. Reactivity studies of 1 reveal that the triphenylphosphine ligand can be replaced by Pcy₃ or removed upon oxidation with concomitant coordination of a second 8-quinolyl unit of P(Oquin)₃. In addition, the Rh(III) complex [RhCl₂{OP(Oquin)₂}] ( 3 ), resulting from treating 1 with either wet CDCl₃ or, sequentially, with HCl and water, was identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 catalyzes the 1,2-regioselective hydroboration of pyridines and quinolines, affording N-boryl-1,2-dihydropyridines (1,2-BDHP) and N-boryl-1,2-hydroquinolines (1,2-BDHQ) in high yield (up to >95 %) with turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 130. The system tolerates a variety of substrates of different electronic and steric nature. In comparison with other transition-metal-based hydroboration catalysts, this system is efficient at a low catalyst loading without the requirement of base or other additives.     

N-Benzyl Derivatives of Leucine Esters

Leucine methyl and ethyl esters reacted with 3-bromobenzaldehyde and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in anhydrous methanol in the presence of magnesium sulfate to afford the coresponding Schiff bases of the general formula (CH3)2CHCH2CH(COOR¹)N=CHR² [R¹ = CH3, C2H5, R²= 3-BrC6H4, 4-ClC6H4]. Their reduction with sodium tetrahydridoborate yielded N-benzyl derivatives (CH3)2CHCH2CH(COOR¹)NHCH2R², which were converted into N-acyl-N-benzyl derivatives (CH3)2CHCH2CH(COOR¹)N(COR³)CH2R²[R³= CH₃, C₆H₅].     

Dithionite adducts of pyridinium salts: regioselectivity of formation and mechanisms of decomposition

¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy has been used to detect and to characterize the adducts formed, in alkaline solutions, by the attack of dithionite anion on 3-carbamoyl or 3-cyano substituted pyridinium salts. In all studied cases, only 1,4-dihydropyridine-4-sulfinates, formed by attack of dithionite oxyanion on the carbon 4 of pyridinium ring, were found. This absolute regioselectivity seems to suggest a very specific interaction between the pyridinium cation and the dithionite through the formation of a rigidly oriented ion pair, determining the position of attack. In weak alkaline solution, the adducts decompose according to two mechanisms S_Ni and S_Ni′: the S_Ni path is operative in all studied cases and preserves the 1,4-dihydro structure yielding the corresponding 1,4-dihydropyridines, whereas the S_Ni′ path involves the shift of 2,3 or 5,6 double bonds yielding 1,2- or 1,6-dihydropyridines, respectively. The formation of 1,2- or 1,6-dihydropyridines, in addition to 1,4-dihydro isomers, depends on their respective thermodynamic stabilities.     

One‐Pot Stereoselective Synthesis of 2‐Acylaziridines and 2‐Acylpyrrolidines from N‐(Propargylic)hydroxylamines

The stereoselective direct transformation of N‐(propargylic)hydroxylamines into cis‐2‐acylaziridines was achieved by the combined use of AgBF₄ and CuCl. Copper salts were found to promote the transformation of the intermediary 4‐isoxazolines into 2‐acylaziridines and both 3‐aryl‐ and 3‐alkyl‐substituted 2‐acylaziridines could be prepared by using this method. Furthermore, subsequent 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides that were generated in situ from the intermediary 2‐acylaziridines with maleimides was achieved in a stereoselective one‐pot procedure to afford the corresponding 2‐acylpyrrolidines, which consisted of an octahydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole skeleton.     

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of (1R,2R)-N1-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine platinum(II) complexes with malonate derivatives

Three new platinum(II) complexes of (1R,2R)-N¹-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine with malonate derivatives as leaving groups have been synthesized and spectrally characterized. They were tested in vitro against four human cancer cell lines. [(1R,2R)-N¹-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N′](2-ethylmalonato-O,O′)platinum(II) turned out to be more active (IC₅₀ = 4.65 μM) than oxaliplatin (IC₅₀ = 6.55 μM) against the MCF-7 cell line and is superior to its parent complex, [(1R,2R)-N¹-(2-butyl)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N′](malonato-O,O′)platinum(II). In addition, agarose gel electrophoresis study revealed that the interaction of the complex with pET22b plasmid DNA had a different behavior from that of cisplatin or oxaliplatin.     

Conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to N-substituted maleimides. Synthesis of 3-alkylsuccinimides and pyrrolidines

3-Alkylidenesuccinimides obtained by conjugate addition of nitroalkanes to N-substituted maleimides can be reduced to the corresponding 3-alkyl derivatives by catalytic hydrogenation. 3-Alkylsuccinimides can be further reduced using BH₃·Me₂S complex to afford 3-alkylpyrrolidines in good yield.     

Diels-alder cycloadditions of diene-substituted N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridines with N-phenylmaleimide

The ten possible substitution patterns for N-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridines 5 in which one or two olefinic sites are alkyl substituted were synthesized and reacted with N-phenylmaleimide 2 to provide cycloadducts 6. N-Ethoxycarbonyl-5,6-cyclohexyl-2-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridine 51 provided the novel spirocycle 61.

Reactions of a,ß‐unsaturated N‐benzenesulfonyl Imine – N‐[(2E)‐3‐phenyl‐2‐propen‐1‐ylidene]benzenesulfonamide with Methyllithium

α,β‐Unsaturated N‐benzenesulfonyl imine 1 was treated with 1.1 eq methyllithium to afford 1,2‐addition adduct as a sole product. However, when compound 1 was treated with 2 eq MeLi, 1,2‐addition product, benzenesulfonamide derivative 3 and 2H‐1,2‐benzothiazine 1,1‐dioxide derivatives 4 and 5 were isolated.     

Selective partial hydrogenation of N-substituted-3-carbamoylpyridinium salts to corresponding dihydropyridines catalyzed by bis(dimethylglyoximato)chloro(pyridine)cobalt

Partial hydrogenation of N-substituted-3-carbamoylpyridinium salts (substituent = benzyl or 2-propyl) proceeded selectively when catalyzed by bis(dimethylglyoximato)chloro(pyridine)cobalt in methanol at room temperature. Chemoselectivity was dependent on the hydrogen pressure, the reaction vessel, and the type of base used. No overreduction to tetrahydropyridines was observed in the presence of NaHCO₃, even under 100 kg cm⁻² of hydrogen. The reaction was also 81–100% regioselective for 1,4-dihydropyridines over 1,6- or 1,2-dihydropyridines.     

BIS(DITHIOSQUARAMIDE) LIGANDS AND THEIR COMPLEXES WITH DIVALENT NICKEL: THERMOCHROMIC BEHAVIOUR AND UNANTICIPATED FORMATION OF 2:2 SPECIES

Abstract

Reaction of two equivalents of N-mono- or di-substituted 3-amino-4-(n-butoxy)-3-cyclobutene-1,2-diones with a 1,2-diaminoethane gave N-mono- or di-substituted 1,2-bis((2-amino-1-cyclobutene-3,4-dione)amino)-ethane derivatives (bis(squaramides)). Reaction of the bis(squaramides) with excess P₄S₁₀ gave the analogous tetrathio derivatives (bis(dithiosquaramides), LH₂) of formula (NR¹R²)C₄S₂(NHCH₂CH₂NH)-C₄S₂(NR¹R²) (R¹=n-Bu, R²=H; R¹=R²=Et, n-Bu). The new bis(dithiosquaramide) ligands were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, electronic, and mass spectroscopic methods. The complexes of these ligands with nickel(II) were prepared, isolated and characterized. The isolated complexes are neutral 2:2 species of formula Ni₂L₂, as evidenced by results from mass spectrometry, and they exhibit thermochromic behaviour in pyridine solution. Additional spectroscopic data (IR, NMR) are consistent with the ligands being coordinated only through sulfur donor atoms and a structure for the complexes is proposed.     

Direct synthesis of 4,4-disubstituted N-silyl-1,4-dihydropyridines

An unprecedented method for the preparation of 4,4-disubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridines is presented. It is based on the trapping reaction of 4-substitued N-silylpyridinium ions. When performed with dialkylmagnesium reagents, such as iPr₂Mg, silyl protected 4,4-disubstituted 1,4-dihydropyridines were obtained in up to quantitative yields. High 1,4-selectivity was found for sterically demanding nucleophiles, whereas small nucleophiles (Me₂Mg) tend to yield 1,2-addition-products. Grignard, dialkylzinc and organocopper reagents were found to give either no addition products or less favorable results. Reduction of the obtained 1,4-dihydropyridine with NaCNBH₃ in the presence of HCl, followed by treatment with tert-butyl dicarbonate provided the corresponding N-Boc protected piperidines with high yields.     

Tailoring the Structure of Two‐Dimensional Self‐Assembled Nanoarchitectures Based on NiII–Salen Building Blocks

The synthesis of a series of Ni^II–salen‐based complexes with the general formula of [Ni(H₂L)] (H₄L=R²‐N,N′‐bis[R¹‐5‐(4′‐benzoic acid)salicylidene]; H₄L1: R²=2,3‐diamino‐2,3‐dimethylbutane and R¹=H; H₄L2: R²=1,2‐diaminoethane and R¹=tert‐butyl and H₄L3: R²=1,2‐diaminobenzene and R¹=tert‐butyl) is presented. Their electronic structure and self‐assembly was studied. The organic ligands of the salen complexes are functionalized with peripheral carboxylic groups for driving molecular self‐assembly through hydrogen bonding. In addition, other substituents, that is, tert‐butyl and diamine bridges (2,3‐diamino‐2,3‐dimethylbutane, 1,2‐diaminobenzene or 1,2‐diaminoethane), were used to tune the two‐dimensional (2D) packing of these building blocks. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the spatial distribution of the LUMOs is affected by these substituents, in contrast with the HOMOs, which remain unchanged. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) shows that the three complexes self‐assemble into three different 2D nanoarchitectures at the solid–liquid interface on graphite. Two structures are porous and one is close‐packed. These structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonds in one dimension, while the 2D interaction is governed by van der Waals forces and is tuned by the nature of the substituents, as confirmed by theoretical calculations. As expected, the total dipolar moment is minimized     

Reactivity of an N,N‐Chelated Germylene Toward Substituted Alkynes,Alkenes, and Allenes

Treatment of N,N‐chelated germylene [(iPr)₂NB(N‐2,6‐Me₂C₆H₃)₂]Ge ( 1 ) with ferrocenyl alkynes containing carbonyl functionalities, FcC≡CC(O)R, resulted in [2+2+2] cyclization and formation of the respective ferrocenylated 3‐Fc‐4‐C(O)R‐1,2‐digermacyclobut‐3‐enes 2 – 4 [R = Me ( 2 ), OEt ( 3 ) and NMe₂ ( 4 )] bearing intact carbonyl substituents. In contrast, the reaction between 1 and PhC(O)C≡CC(O)Ph led to activation of both C≡C and C=O bonds producing bicyclic compound containing two five‐membered 1‐germa‐2‐oxacyclopent‐3‐ene rings sharing one C–C bond, 4,8‐diphenyl‐3,7‐dioxa‐2,6‐digermabicyclo[3.3.0]octa‐4,8‐diene ( 5 ). With N‐methylmaleimide containing an analogous C(O)CH=CHC(O) fragment, germylene 1 reacted under [2+2+2] cyclization involving the C=C double bond, producing 1,2‐digermacyclobutane 6 with unchanged carbonyl moieties. Finally, 1 selectively added to the terminal double bond in allenes CH₂=C=CRR′ giving rise to 3‐(=CRR′)‐1,2‐digermacyclobutanes [R/R′ = Me/Me ( 7 ), H/OMe ( 8 )] bearing an exo‐C=C double bond. All compounds were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C{¹H} NMR, IR and Raman spectroscopy and the molecular structures of 3 , 4 , 5 , and 8 were established by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The redox behavior of ferrocenylated derivatives 2 – 4 was studied by cyclic voltammetry.     

Reaction of ketenes with N,N-disubstituted α-aminomethyleneketones. XVIII. Synthesis of N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones

1,4-Cycloaddition of phenylchloroketene to N,N-disubstituted 2-aminomethylene-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)naphthalenones gave the corresponding adducts, namely N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-3-chloro-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones II, in the case of aliphatic N,N-disubstitution or aromatic N-monosubstitution. Apart from IIf (NR₂ = NMePh), adducts II were unstable and were dehydrochlorinated in situ with DBN to give N,N-disubstituted 4-amino-5,6-dihydro-3-phenyl-2H-naphtho[1,2-b]pyran-2-ones III in fair overall yields. Compounds III were dehydrogenated with Pd/C in boiling p-cymene to afford the title compounds generally in high yields.     

Reactions of Aliphatic Diazo Compounds: IV. Reaction of Diphenyldiazomethane with Substituted Imides of Maleic and Itaconic Acids

Diphenyldiazomethane regioselectively adds to 2-R-substituted maleimides to yield 1-pyrazoline derivatives, 1-R-7-aryl-6,8-dioxo-4,4-diphenyl-2,3,7-triazabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-enes that on heating liberate nitrogen to afford substituted 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes. To the N-arylsubstituted imides of itaconic acid the diphenyldiazomethane adds to furnish 5-aryl-4,6-dioxo-1,1-diphenyl-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptanes.     

Theoretical Study on the Mechanism of Ni‐Catalyzed Alkyl–Alkyl Suzuki Cross‐Coupling

Ni‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of unactivated secondary alkyl halides with alkylboranes provides an efficient way to construct alkyl–alkyl bonds. The mechanism of this reaction with the Ni/ L1 ( L1 =trans‐N,N′‐dimethyl‐1,2‐cyclohexanediamine) system was examined for the first time by using theoretical calculations. The feasible mechanism was found to involve a Ni^I–Ni^III catalytic cycle with three main steps: transmetalation of [Ni^I( L1 )X] (X=Cl, Br) with 9‐borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9‐BBN)R₁ to produce [Ni^I( L1 )(R₁)], oxidative addition of R₂X with [Ni^I( L1 )(R₁)] to produce [Ni^III( L1 )(R₁)(R₂)X] through a radical pathway, and C? C reductive elimination to generate the product and [Ni^I( L1 )X]. The transmetalation step is rate‐determining for both primary and secondary alkyl bromides. KOiBu decreases the activation barrier of the transmetalation step by forming a potassium alkyl boronate salt with alkyl borane. Tertiary alkyl halides are not reactive because the activation barrier of reductive elimination is too high (+34.7 kcal mol^?1). On the other hand, the cross‐coupling of alkyl chlorides can be catalyzed by Ni/ L2 ( L2 =trans‐N,N′‐dimethyl‐1,2‐diphenylethane‐1,2‐diamine) because the activation barrier of transmetalation with L2 is lower than that with L1 . Importantly, the Ni⁰–Ni^II catalytic cycle is not favored in the present systems because reductive elimination from both singlet and triplet [Ni^II( L1 )(R₁)(R₂)] is very difficult.     

Formation and catalytic hydrogenation of the dimer of 1,2,3,4,5,7a-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine

Reaction of diethylenetriamine with glyoxal or N,N'-dicyclohexylethylenediimine forms the novel heterocycle 1,2,3,4,5,7a-hexahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine 1 (R₁ = R₂ = H) which is isolated as its dimer. Catalytic hydrogenation converts 1 into N(2-aminoethyl)piperazine in high yield.     

A new [(1R,2R)‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane]platinum(II) complex: formation by nitrate–acetonitrile ligand exchange

The title compound, cis‐diacetonitrile[(1R,2R)‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane‐κ²N,N′]platinum(II) dinitrate monohydrate, [Pt(C₂H₃N)₂(C₆H₁₄N₂)](NO₃)₂·H₂O, is a molecular salt of the diaminocyclohexane–Pt complex cation. There are two formula units in the asymmetric unit. Apart from the two charge‐balancing nitrate anions, one neutral molecule of water is present. The components interact via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in supramolecular chains. The title compound crystallizes only from acetonitrile with residual water, with the acetonitrile coordinating to the molecule of cis‐[Pt(NO₃)₂(DACH)] (DACH is 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) and the water forming a monohydrate.
