Syntheses of 3-[5-Methyl-1-(4-Methylphenyl)-1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl]-6-Substituted-s-Triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-Thiadiazoles

1,2,3-Triazole derivatives have been reported as inhibiting tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis^[1]. The fused l,3,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles derivatives show various biological effects such as antifungal^[2], antibacterial, hypotensive and CNS depressant activities^[3]. We have reported several 6-aryl-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles in the previous paper^[4]. The novel 6-aryl-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazolo[2,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 6a-j have been synthesized by the condensation of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-[5-methyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-s-triazole 5 with various aromatic carboxylic acids in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. The mercaptotriazole 5 was prepared from 4,the latter being prepared from 1 throng 2 and 3. The title compounds 6 were depicted in scheme 1. The structures of these compounds were established by elemental analysis, NMR, MS and IR techniques.     

Facile Synthesis of (z)-5-Methyl-3-Phenoxymethylene 4,5-Dihydrofuran-2-One

(z)-α-Alkylidene-α-butyrolactone has been reported as a good plant growth regulator^[1] and as an important intermediate to the synthesis of natural product^[2] in literature. There was no report in the literature for the stereoselective synthesis of α-alkylidene lactones in exocyclic double with the (z)-configuration. Herein, we reported a facile synthesis of (z)-5-methyl-3-(phenoxymethylene)-4,5-dihydrofuran-2-one 4 from a readily available starting material 5-phenoxypent-3-yn-2-one 1 via three-step in good yield. The synthetic route is shown as below (scheme 1).

Synthesis of Urinary Metabolites of Retinoic Acid

Urinary metabolites 5-methyl-5-[2-(2,6,6-trimethyl -3-oxo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-vinyl]-2-tetrahydrofuranone (1) and 5-[2-(6-hydroxymethyl-2, 6-dimethyl-3-oxo-1- cyclohexen-1-yl)vinyl]-5-methyl-2-tetrahydrofuranone (2) of retinoic acid have been synthesized from 4-[2,2,6-trimethyl-3-(tetrahydro-2 H -pyran-2-yl)oxy-1-cyclohexen-1-yl]-3-buten-2-one (4) and methyl 2-(3,3-ethylenedioxy-1-butenyl)-1, 3-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate (5) .     

Isolation and identification of three urinary metabolites of retinoic acid in the rat.

After the intraperitoneal administration of high doses of ¹⁴C- and ³H-labelled retinoic acid ( 1 ) to rats three major urinary metabolites have been isolated in microgram amounts by use of column, thin-layer and high-pressure liquid chromatography. Their structures were elucidated by mass spectroscopy and Fourier transform ¹H-NMR. spectroscopy as 2 (5-methyl-5-[2-(2,6,6-trimethyl-3-oxo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)vinyl]-2-tetrahydrofuranone), 3 (5-[2-(6-hydroxymethyl-2,6-dimethyl-3-oxo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)vinyl]-5-methyl-2-tetrahydrofuranone) and 4 (6-(6-hydroxymethyl-2,6-dimethyl-3-oxo-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-4-methyl-4-hexenoic acid). In these metabolites the tetraene side chain of 1 is shortened and the cyclohexene ring oxidized. The radioactivity of 2 and 3 accounted for about 10% (0.9% of the dose) each, metabolite 4 for about 6% (0.5% of the dose) of the total urinary radioactivity.     

Sterically demanding cyclopentadienyl chemistry: synthesis of iron and zirconium complexes of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindenyl

Reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide with the ,β-unsaturated ketone 3-methyl-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydroind-8(9)-en-1-one, followed by an aqueous work-up, generates the pro-chiral tetra-substituted cyclopentadiene, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindene, Cp^‡H, a precursor to the η⁵-cyclopentadienyl ligand in (Cp^‡)₂Fe and [(Cp^‡)Fe(CO)]₂(μ-CO)₂. Both complexes were generated as mixtures of rac-(RR and SS)- and meso-(RS)-isomers, and in either case pure meso-isomer was isolated by crystallisation and characterised by single crystal X-ray structure, both molecules having crystallographic C_i symmetry. Reduction with Na/Hg cleaves meso-(RS)-[(Cp^‡)Fe(CO)]₂(μ-CO)₂ and the resulting mixture of (R)- and (S)-[(Cp^‡)Fe(CO)₂]⁻ anions reacts with MeI to give racemic (Cp^‡)Fe(CO)₂Me, which was characterised by the X-ray crystal structure. The Cp^‡ ligand is more electron donating than (η-C₅H₅) as revealed by the reduction potential of the (Cp^‡)₂Fe⁺/(Cp^‡)₂Fe couple, E°=−0.127 V (vs. Ag  AgCl). Reaction of LiCp^‡ with ZrCl₄ yields the zirconocene dichloride [Zr(Cp^‡)₂Cl₂] as mixture of rac- and meso-isomers, from which pure rac-isomer is obtained as a mixture of RR and SS crystals by recrystallisation. The reaction of rac-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Cl₂] with LiMe gives rac-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Me₂]. The structures of RR-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Cl₂] and rac-[Zr(Cp^‡)₂Me₂] have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The structural studies reveal the influence of the bulky substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand on the metal---Cp^‡ distances and other metric parameters.

Reversible Adsorption of NOx on ZrO2-supported CeO2 Prepared in Water-in-oil Microemulsion

Nitric oxides (NOx) storage catalyst^[1] provides an alternative route for abatement of NO in presence of oxygen by first adsorbing NOx and then desorbing it by temperature swing or pressure swing. YBa₂Cu₃Oy^[2] and Mn-Zr mixed oxides^[3] were reported to have large NOx adsorption capacity, but the former suffered from a great amount of coexisting CO₂ gases. The author previously reported that high NOx adsorption capacity could be obtained on Ce modified TiO₂-pillared montmorillonite without deactivation by CO₂^[1]. Microemulsion method was reported to be effective to control particle sizes and microstructures of the metal oxides^[4]. In this paper, a thermal stable ZrO₂ with high surface area was prepared in water-in-oil microemulsion, and NOx adsorption capacity was tested on the above ZrO₂ sample after impregnating with manganese nitrate and cerium nitrate.     

Mesomorphic bipyridine building blocks bearing an sp3 carbon and a hydroxy function

The synthesis of novel symmetrical liquid crystalline compounds based on 5-methyl-5-[2-(4-alkyloxyphenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-2,2-bipyridines is reported, together with some physical properties. Although the chelating head-groups are connected via a chiral sp³ carbon atom, all the materials are mesomorphic. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between pyridino and hydroxy fragments in the mesophases is made apparent by FTIR spectroscopy.

Catalytic Reduction of Nitric Oxide on SiO2/AlO3-supported Transition Metal Catalysts

Selective reduction of nitric oxide in pressence of oxygen is one of the major challenges in the automobile exhaust after-treatment for lean-bum gasoline engines and diesel engines. Besides Cu-ZSM-5, Pt and Pd based noble metal catalysts, alumina-supported silver catalysts show high activities on NOx conversion to nitrogen^[1,2]. However, NO conversion activities over silver on binary oxides have rarely been studied in detail^[3], although copper on SiO₂-Al₂O₃ catalyst was reported to have a high activity^[4] Here, NOx reduction activities on SiO₂-Al₂O₃-supported transition metal catalysts prepared by sol-gel method was investigated.     

Solution-grown aligned crystals of diketopyrrolopyrroles(DPP)-based small molecules:Rough surfaces and relatively low charge mobility

Field-effect transistors(FETs) of three diketopyrrolopyrroles(DPP)-based small molecules, 3,6-bis(5-phenylthiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolopyrrole-1,4-dione(PDPPP), 3,6-bis(5-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolo pyrrole-1,4-dione(FPDPPPF) and 3,6-bis(5-(4-n-butylphenyl)thiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolo pyrrole-1,4-dione(Bu PDPPPBu), have been studied in this work. Well aligned crystals of the three molecules were grown from para-xylene by droplet-pinned crystallization method. FETs based on these aligned crystals exhibit a hole mobility up to0.19 cm~2 V 1s 1and electron mobility up to 0.008 cm~2 V 1s 1. The achieved hole mobility is of the same order of magnitude as reported highest hole mobility for DPP-based small molecules, but it is much lower than that of the high-performance DPP-based polymers. The relative low mobility is mainly attributed to the rough crystal surfaces with steps and, thus, non-smooth charge transport channels at the interfaces between the crystals and the dielectrics. This work has implications for understanding the low charge mobility of DPP-based small molecules.     

Synthesis and magnetism of the first tetranuclear copper(II)–iron(III) complexes of macrocyclic oxamides

Four novel tetranuclear macrocyclic complexes of the formula [(CuLⁱ)₃Fe](ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (i=1–4, Lⁱ are the dianions of the [14]N₄ and [15]N₄ macrocyclic oxamides, namely 2,3-dioxo-5,6:13,14-dibenzo-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,11-diene, 2,3-dioxo-5,6:13,14-dibenzo-9-methyl-7,12-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,11-diene and 2,3-dioxo-5,6:14,15-dibenzo-7,13-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclotetradeca-7,12-diene] have been prepared and characterized. These complexes are the first examples of oxamido-bridged Cu(II)–Fe(III) heterometallic species. Cryomagnetic studies on [(CuL¹)₃Fe](ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (1) and [(CuL³)₃Fe](ClO₄)₃·3H₂O (3) (77–300 K) revealed that the Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions interact antiferromagnetically through the oxamido bridge, with the exchange integral J=−30.8 cm⁻¹ for 1 and J=−28.7 cm⁻¹ for 3 based on . The interaction parameters have been compared with that of the related [Cu₃Mn] compound.     

PHOTOPRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM LINKED CHROMOPHORES

Abstract On irradiation of solutions of anthryl-substituted cobalt(III) cage complexes, [(l-(anthryl-9-methylamino)-8-methyl-3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo [6.6.6] eicosane) cobalt(III)]³⁺ or [(l-(4-an-thryl-9)-3-aza-butyl-l-amino)-8-methyl-3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo [6.6.6] eicosane)cobalt (III)]³* in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and platinum catalysts hydrogen was produced. These complexes act as coupled photosensitizers (anthracene moiety) and electron relays (cobalt cage) to produce H₂ via energy trapping and intramolecular electron transfer initially. The intensity of fluorescence and the photochemical reactivity favour the latter complex and the excited singlet state of the anthracene chromophore is invoked as the intermediate state leading to the reduction of Co(III) to Co(II).     

First Total Synthesis of (±)-Ponganone Ⅲ

In recent years, the synthesis and pharmacology of pyranoflavanoids have been extensively investigated due to their wide range of pharmacological properties^[1-3]. Ponganone Ⅲ^[4],a new natural pyranoflavanone isolated from the Pongamia pinnala, was identified as (2S)-3',4'-dimethoxy-6',6"-dimethylpyrano-[2",3":7,8]-flavanone (2) on the basis of spectra data. Its precursor,3,4-dimethoxy-2'-hydroxy-6",6"-dimethylchromeno-[2",3":4',3']-chalcone (1) is also a new natural product^[5] isolated from the roots of Lonchocarpus subglaucescent. Their total synthesis have not been reported. Herein, we wish to report the first total synthesis of compounds 1 and 2 in order to confirm the proposed structure and further more to evaluate its biological activities.     

Bis(η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-and(ηcyclopentadienyl) (η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-platinium dications: Pt(IV) metallocenes

Reaction of [Pt₂(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂(η-Br)₃]³⁺(Br⁻)₃ with C₅R₅H (R = H,Me) in the presence of AgBF₄ gives the first platinocenium dications, [Pt(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₅R₅)]²⁺(BF₄⁻ )₂. On electrochemical reduction, [pt(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂]²⁺ yields [Pt(η⁴-C₅Me₅H)(η²-C₅Me₅)]+ BF₄⁻. kw]Cyclopentadienyl; Metallocenes; Platinum; Electrochemistry     

Dimerization of Incomplete Cubane-Type Mo3S4(DTP)3 Units Linked by Bridging α, ω-Dicarboxylate

Since the trinuclear molybdenum cluster compound Mo₃S₄(DTP)₃(μ-DTP)(L) (DTP=diethyldithiophosphate, L=loosely-coordinated ligand) was reported^[1],a large number of monomeric trinuclear molybdenum derivatives have been synthesized from it by its diverse substitution reactions^[2]. This reaction provides a useful route to design cluster complexes with specific functions. By the reaction with α, ω-dicarboxylates, we successfully synthesized the first oligomer containing two incomplete cubane-type[Mo₃S₄] cores formulated as[Mo₃S₄(DTP)₃(DMF)]₂[η²-μ-OOC(CH₂)₃COO-μ-η²]) whose molecule structure is as follows:     

Simultaneous Determination of Gold(Ⅲ) and Copper(Ⅱ) with Two-Way Stripping Voltammetry

The simultaneous determination of Au(Ⅲ) and Cu(Ⅱ) by atomic absorption spectrometry^[1,2], X-ray fluorescence^[3] and differential-pulse polarography^[4] have been reported. The apparatus used in spectrochemical analysis are complex and expensive. The method reported in reference^[4] involves a poisonous electrode-DME(dropping-mercury electrode) and unsatisfied performance with the detection limit. We had reported the determination of trace Au(Ⅲ) or Cu(Ⅱ) by a sensitive tripping voltammetry with solid electrode^[5], but there is no report about the simultaneous determination of trace Au(Ⅲ) and Cu(Ⅱ) by stripping voltammetry ever since.

The study of the reactivity of R---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe) with R=C₆H₅ or 2,4,6-Me₃-C₆H₂ with palladium(II) salts is reported. These studies have allowed us to prepare and characterize the coordination complexes: cis-[Pd{R---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe)}Cl₂] {R=C₆H₅ or 2,4,6-Me₃-C₆H₂} and the cyclopalladated compounds [Pd{C₆H₄---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe)}Cl] and [Pd{(2-CH₂-4,6-Me₂-C₆H₂)---CH=N---(C₆H₄-2-SMe)}Cl]. The X-ray crystal structures of the latter complexes reveal that the thioimines act as a [Csp², phenyl,N,S]⁻ and as a [Csp³, N,S]⁻ terdentate group, respectively. The study of the reactions of the cyclopalladated compounds with PPh₃ is also reported.
