Synthesis of 3-(pyridine-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-thiocarboxamides and their copper(II) complexes

New organic ligands 3-(pyridine-2-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-thiocarboxamides (L) have been synthesized by a two or three step reaction sequence starting from substituted benzaldehydes and 2-acetyl pyridine. Copper(II) complexes with LCuCl₂ composition were obtained by the reactions of these ligands with CuCl₂·2H₂O. The crystal structure of two synthesized complexes has been determined by X-ray analysis. Copper atoms located in a strongly distorted square piramidal environment and coordinated by pyrazoline and pyridine nitrogen atoms, thiocarbamoyl sulfur atom and two chloride-anions. All complexes undergo reversible or quasi-reversible electrochemical reduction at 0.45–0.28 V with the formation of Cu(I) containing intermediates. The cytotoxicity of copper containing complexes, comparable to cisplatin and doxorubicin, was demonstrated using cancer cell lines MCF-7, A549 and HEK293.     

Enantiocatalytic activity of substituted 5-benzyl-2-(pyridine-2-yl)imidazolidine-4-one ligands

Currently, asymmetric synthesis represents one of the main streams of organic synthesis. Although an extensive research has been carried out in this area, the synthesis of chiral compounds with the required enantiomeric purity is still a challenging issue. Herein, we focus on the preparation of new enantioselective catalysts based on pyridine-imidazolidinones. The substituted 5-benzyl-2-(pyridine-2-yl)imidazolidine-4-ones 5–8 were prepared by condensation of chiral amino acid amides (α-methylDOPA and α-methylphenylalanine) with 2-acetylpyridine and pyridine-2-carbaldehyde. The individual isomers of the described ligands 5–8 were separated chromatographically. The copper(II) complexes of these chiral ligands were studied as enantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric Henry reaction of substituted aldehydes with nitromethane or nitroethane. The ligands containing a methyl group at the 2-position of the imidazolidinone ring 6a and 8a exhibit a high degree of enantioselectivity (up to 91% ee). The nitroaldols derived from nitroethane (2-nitropropan-1-ols) were obtained with a comparable enantiomeric purity to derivatives of 2-nitroethanol. This group of ligands represents a new and promising class of enantioselective catalysts, which deserve further attention.     

Synthesis and Lewis acid catalyzed Claisen rearrangement of 2-(1,3-oxazolin-2-yl)-substituted allyl vinyl ethers

Allyl vinyl ethers containing an acceptor function in the 2-position are useful substrates for the Lewis acid-catalyzed Claisen rearrangement. The first synthesis of acyclic 2-(1,3-oxazolin-2-yl)-substituted allyl vinyl ethers is reported. The Lewis acid catalyzed Claisen rearrangement of these allyl vinyl ethers afforded the rearrangement products with low to moderate diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The catalyzed rearrangement of chiral allyl vinyl ethers was investigated. The combination of substrate- and catalyst-induced diastereoselectivity led to unexpected and unprecedented results.

Copper(II) complexes of 2-(pyridine-2-yl)imidazolidine-4-thione derivatives for asymmetric Henry reactions

The preparation of a new series of 2-(pyridine-2-yl)imidazolidine-4-thione derivatives is described. Their corresponding copper(II) complexes were found to be highly enantioselective catalysts for asymmetric Henry reactions (up to 98% ee). Immobilization of these complexes by anchoring onto Merrifield? resin with respect to their use as recyclable catalysts was subsequently performed. The heterogeneous catalysts prepared in this way were tested in the asymmetric Henry reactions and showed high catalytic activity; they can be easily recycled, although their enantioselectivities were only moderate (～50% ee).     

Synthesis,characterization and biological studies of 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)benzothiazole complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

Summary Thirteen new complexes, MLX·nH₂O and ML₂(ClO₄)₂· nH₂O [M = Co, Ni, Cu; X = Cl^–, Br^–, NO _f3 ^p– , 1/2SO _f4 ^p2– ; n = 1 or 2; and L = 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)benzothiazole], have been synthesized, and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, magnetic moments, thermal studies and electronic, i.r. and e.p.r. spectral studies. On the basis of available data probable structures have been proposed. In a few cases the antibacterial and antifungal activities increase on complexation of the ligand with metals.     

Synthesis,characterization and ascorbic acid oxidase mimetic catalytic activity of copper(II) picolyl hydrazone complexes

Four new picolyl hydrazones were prepared via Schiff-base condensation of picolonic acid hydrazide with α-formyl-(L¹), α-acetyl-(L²), α-benzoyl-(L³) pyridine and α-formyl-(L⁴) thiophene. Copper(II) complexes of these hydrazones and a series of copper(II) complexes containing (L²) and various anions (Cl, Br, NO₃, SCN, SO₄, ClO₄, AcO, PF₆ and BF₄) have been synthesized. Elemental, thermal analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic moment measurements and spectral (i.r., electronic and e.s.r.) studies have been used to characterize the prepared compounds. The overall structure and reactivity of the reported copper(II) chelates critically depend on the ligand structure and the nature of counter anion incorporated in the complex molecule. Octahedral [complex (7)], square-pyramidal [complex (8)] and square-planar monomeric species [complexes (1–6), (9) and (10)] and a dimeric structure with oxygen bridge in square-planar geometry [complexes (11) and (12)] were suggested. The reported copper(II) complexes exhibit promising oxidase catalytic activity towards the aerobic oxidation of vitamin C. A linear correlation exists between the oxidase catalytic activity and the Lewis-acidity of the central copper(II) ion created by the donating properties of the parent ligand, as well the irregularity of the coordination environment. The probable mechanistic implications of the catalytic oxidation reactions are discussed.     

Synthesis and anti-proliferative activity studies of 2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)-6-(substituted)imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-3-yl)-N-(substituted)acetamide derivatives

A series of novel imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-3-yl acetamide derivatives (9a-9j) were synthesized from a 3,6-dichloropyridazine. We have developed a simple strategy for the synthesis of functionally diverse imidazole, and pyridiazine derivatives were reported via a series of steps. The work involves bicyclic imidazo-pyridazine ring formation, halogenation, cynation, hydrolysis, peptide coupling, and Buchwald reaction. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR,¹⁹F NMR, mass spectra, and elemental analysis, and purity is checked by HPLC. All synthesized compounds were screened for anticancer activity against A-549 and Du-145 cancer cell lines by MTT assay. The preliminary bioassay suggests that most of the compounds show anti-proliferation with different degrees; doxorubicin was used as positive control. The synthesized compound shows IC₅₀ values in the range of 1.74μM to 16.17μM in both cell lines. The compounds 9e , 9g , and 9h were active compared with doxorubicin in both the cell lines. The compounds having cyclopentyl ring are active compared with higher and lower carbon analogues.     

Highly enantioselective nitroaldol reactions catalyzed by copper(II) complexes derived from substituted 2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazolidin-4-one ligands

Ten optically pure substituted 2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazolidin-4-ones, 1a-d, 2a-4a, and 2b-4b, were prepared and characterized. The absolute configurations of individual ligands were determined by X-ray analysis or NOESY experiments. The Cu(II) complexes of the respective ligands were studied as enantioselective catalysts of the nitroaldol (Henry) reaction of aldehydes with nitromethane, giving the corresponding substituted 2-nitroalkanols. In the case of an anti arrangement of the imidazolidin-4-one ring, the obtained result was 91-96% ee, whereas in the case of syn arrangement, a significant drop to 25-27% ee was observed.     

New copper(II) coordination compounds with 1,3-bis(5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propane

Two new copper(II) complexes with 1,3-bis(5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propane (H₂L), [Cu₂(HL)Cl₃] · H₂O (I) and [Cu(H₂L)](ClO₄)₂ (II), were described. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and magnetochemical data. According to X-ray diffraction data (CIF files CCDC nos. 1497511 (I), 1497512 (II)), complex I is binuclear and the metal cations are bound by the nitrogen atoms of the triazole ring and by the chloride anion. Complex II is mononuclear. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of I attests to the antiferromagnetic coupling of paramagnetic centers (–2J = 18 cm^–1). Exchange channels are analyzed by means of density functional theory (B3LYP/6-311G(d)) using the broken symmetry approach.     

Synthesis and magnetism of 2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediylbis-(oxamato) bridged trinuclear copper(II) complexes

Summary Four novel trinuclear copper(II) complexes have been synthesized, namely {[Cu(pbaOH)][Cu(L)]₂}(ClO₄)₂, where pbaOH = 2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediylbis(oxamato) and L is 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen), 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy) or 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl (Me₂bipy). Based on i.r. and electronic spectra, elemental analyses, and conductivity measurements oxamato-bridged structures consisting of three copper(II) ions, in which each copper(II) ion has a square-planar environment, are proposed. The temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of {[Cu-(pbaOH)][Cu(phen)]₂}(ClO₄) ₂ has been studied in the 4.2–300 K range, giving the exchange integral J=- 111.9cm^–1. The result revealed the operation of an antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between adjacent copper ions.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of naphth-2-yl 2-pyridylmethyl ketones and their copper (II) complexes

The synthesis, characterization and mesomorphic properties of a homologous series of 6-alkoxy naphth-2-yl 2-pyridylmethyl ketones and their copper(II) complexes are reported. All the ligands and their copper complexes, with exception of the lowest homologues, exhibit enantiotropic mesophases. According to textural observations, the ligands display nematic and smectic transitions depending on the length of the alkoxy chain on the pyridine moiety, while the mesogenic complexes show exclusively smectic transitions. In comparison with the phenyl analogues, stabilization of the mesophase and a greater tendency to smectic ordering through incorporation of the naphthyl group into the molecules is confirmed.     

Synthesis and characterization of monomeric palladium(II) pyridine-2-chalcogenolate complexes

Mononuclear palladium(II) complexes of the type [Pd(Epy)(S^∩S)(PPh₃)] [E=S or Se; S^∩S=S₂CNEt₂, S₂P(OR)₂ (R=Et, Prⁿ, Prⁱ)] have been prepared. All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and NMR (¹H, ³¹P{¹H}, ⁷⁷Se{¹H}) spectral data. The NMR data indicate that there are two species in solution, i.e. one with chelating S^∩S ligand predominates (∼95%) while the other with chelating Epy and monodentate S^∩S existing in ∼5% concentration. The X-ray crystal structure of [Pd(Spy){S₂P(OPrⁱ)₂}(PPh₃)] has been determined. The square planar palladium atom is coordinated to asymmetrically chelated (PrⁱO)₂PS₂⁻ ligand, PPh₃ and pyS⁻ groups.

The reaction of chloroacetamide with 2 equiv of γ-aminobutyric acid potassium salts provides a convenient method for the synthesis of substituted 4-[(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)amino]butanoic acids. Alkylation products of 2-aminoacetic and 3-aminopropanoic acid with chloroacetamide were isolated. Thermal cyclization of substituted 4-[(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)amino]butanoic acids afforded 2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)acetamides.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and properties of copper(II) complexes with 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine

Three new mononuclear copper(II) complexes, [CuL(2-fca)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄?·?CH₃OH (1), [CuL(m-nba)(CH₃OH)]ClO₄ (2), and [CuL(pic)(ClO₄)]?·?CH₃OH (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized, where L is 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine, while 2-fca, m-nba, and pic are the anions of 2-furoic acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid, and picolinic acid, respectively. All of them were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV-Vis, and X-ray crystallography. In 1 and 2, the Cu(II) resides within a distorted square-pyramidal N₃O₂ coordination sphere with three nitrogens of L, one carboxylate oxygen, and one methanol. In 3, Cu(II) is coordinated with three nitrogens of L, one nitrogen and one oxygen of picolinate, and one oxygen of perchlorate in a distorted octahedral geometry. Two molecules of 1, 2, and 3 are interacted by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions and strong π–π stacking interactions to form a dinuclear structural unit. The dinuclear units are further connected by H-bonds via perchlorate or lattice methanol to form a 1-D chain for 1 and 2-D network structures for 2 and 3. Hydrogen-bonding and π–π stacking interactions are important for the stabilization of the final supramolecular structures of the three complexes.     

Synthesis,structures, and magnetic properties of crystals of dinuclear copper(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-R-1,2,4,5-tetrazines

Dinuclear complexes of Cu^II with 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-(2-hydroxyethylami-no)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (1) and CoII with 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-(piperidin-1-yl)-1,2,4,5- tetrazine (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized, and the magnetic (SQUID) and resonance (EPR) properties of van der Waals crystals based on these complexes were studied. Unusual behavior of the effective magnetic moment μ_eff(T) is observed at T < 60 K. A nonmonotonic increase in μeff(?) for 1 (s~6 %) and a 20% reduction of μeff(?) for 2 have a common origin and are due to the influence of spin-orbital coupling on the character of the splitting between the t2g and eg levels of the central ion. Distortions of the coordination site “switch on” a positive (1) or negative (2) contribution of the orbital magnetic moment near 6 K. Irreversible temperature behavior of μeff(T) in the heating and cooling regimes in the vicinity of 60 K suggests that the character of structural distortions and the magnetic properties are related to ligand geometry. This factor plays a significant role in crystal engineering of magnetoactive structures with polynitrogen ligands.
