Pyreno[2,1-b]pyrrole and bis(pyreno[2,1-b]pyrrole) as selective chemosensors of fluoride ion: a mechanistic study

Pyreno[2,1-b]pyrrole and its dimeric derivative display excellent selectivity and sensitivity for detection of fluoride ion, in comparison with chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate, dihydrogen phosphate, hydrogen sulfate, perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate ions. The hydrogen bonding with fluoride ion, both in formation and in subsequent dissociation, provides remarkable colorimetric and fluorescent changes in the visible region that are advantageous for real-time and on-site application. Detailed NMR and dynamic fluorescence spectroscopic analyses establish the associated mechanism.     

Complexes of tetra-tert-butyl-tetraazaporphine with Al(III) and Zr(IV) cations as fluoride selective ionophores

In this work, complexes of Zr(IV) and Al(III) cations with 2,7,12,17-tetra-tert-butyl-5,10,15,20-tetraazaporphine (TAP) were tested as ionophores in plasticized PVC membranes of ion-selective electrodes. It was found that both tested ionophores show enhanced affinity towards fluoride anion. High fluoride selectivity was observed in the presence of anionic or cationic additives in the membrane, which indicates that proposed compounds work according to charged or neutral carrier mechanism, depending on membrane composition and pretreatment.tert-Butyl substituents, present in the structure of tested compounds, were supposed to prevent formation of ionophore dimers within the membrane phase. This process was found to be responsible for some unfavorable potentiometric properties of electrodes based on complexes of Zr(IV) and Al(III) cations with porphyrins (compounds closely related to tetra-tert-butyl-5,10,15,20-tetraazaporphine). As it was shown using spectrophotometrical measurements, Al(III)-TAP was not susceptible to dimerization, while dimer formation was observed for Zr(IV)-TAP. In full agreement with these observations, electrodes with membranes containing Al(III)-TAP responded in near-Nernstian and fast manner towards fluoride anion, while the employment of Zr(IV)-TAP as ionophore resulted in super-Nernstian and sluggish response. Plasticized PVC membranes doped with Al(III)-TAP and 20 mol% of lipophilic anionic additives shown remarkable F⁻ selectivity, with selectivity coefficients, , as follows: −4.4 (Y⁻Br⁻), −4.3 (Cl⁻), −4.2 (NO₃⁻), −3.6 (SCN⁻), −2.9 (ClO₄⁻).     

2,3,5,8(1)-Tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione derivatives

The corresponding ylidene, azomethine, and azo derivatives of 2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo [1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione were synthesized by reaction of 7-methyl-and 6-bromo-7-methyl-2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-diones with aldehydes, insatin, aromatic nitroso compounds, and arenediazonium salts. Ylidene derivatives of 7-methyl-2,3,5,8(1)-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-2,5-dione were also obtained by reaction of 2-amino-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidylacetic acid with carbonyl compounds.     

Stereoselective preparation of (E)-(1,2-difluoro-1,2-ethenediyl) bis[tributylstannane] and stereospecific synthesis of (E)-1,2-difluorostilbenes

[reaction: see text]. The novel bisstannane (E)-(1,2-difluoro-1,2-ethenediyl) bis[tributylstannane] 2 was stereoselectively prepared in a high overall yield through a sequential synthetic route from chlorotrifluoroethylene 1. The synthetic application of this novel bisstannane 2 was exemplified in the Pd(PPh3)4/CuI-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aryl iodides, yielding (E)-1,2-difluorostilbenes 3 in moderate to high yields.     

Mass spectra of pyrrolo [1,2-a]benzimidazole and imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives

The closeness of the electronic structures of the ions formed in the first act of disintegration of the ions is responsible for the monotypic character of the subsequent fragmentation of pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazole and imidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives. The mass-spectrometric disintegration of the investigated systems has something in common with the fragmentation of thiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, 1124–1127, August, 1975.     

Reactions involvlng fluoride ion. Part 26 [1] Nitranions from perfluoroazacyclohex-ene and -diene derivatives

The anion generated by addition of CsF to perfluoroaza-cyclohexene is very stable in sulpholane. Reaction of CsF with perfluoro-4-isopropylazacyclohexa-1,4-diene gives a less-stable anion and its behaviour with temperature is described.     

The transformation of saccharin into derivatives of lmidazo[1,2-b] [1,2]-benzisothiazole and benzo[g] [1,2,5]thiadiazocine

Reaction of 3-(2-hydroxyethylamino) benzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxide ( 5a ) with thionyl chloride gives a mixture of the expected chloroethyl derivative ( 5h ) and the rearranged saccharin 2-(2-aminoethyl)-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]isothiazole 1,1-dioxide hydrochloride ( 6a ). Separate treatment of the chloroethyl compound ( 5h ) with dilute alkali gives the expected cyclization product 2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-b] [1,2] benzisothiazole 5, 5-dioxide ( 7a ). Acidification of the liquors of the above reaction yields the ring expanded derivative 6-oxo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-[2H]benzo[g][1,2,5]thiadiazocine 1,1-dioxide ( 12f ), a representative of a new ring-system. Treatment of the imidazo derivative ( 7a ) with concentrated hydrochloric acid again yields the N-substituted saccharin ( 6a ) which upon treatment with alkali also produces the thiadiazocine ( 12f ). In contrast, treatment of the imidazo compound ( 7a ) with alkali leads to attack on the sulphonamide function to give 2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)benzenesulphonic acid ( 8 ). It is suggested that the multitude of chemical interconversions which can be induced within this series of compounds (Scheme II) can only be accounted for if two separate cyclol intermediates are invoked. Related reactions observed with variously substituted derivatives of the starting saccharin derivative ( 5a ) are discussed as are the spectral properties and chemical reactivity of the new compounds prepared.     

Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxic activity of diorganotin (IV) complexes with 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives

The coordination behaviour of the diorganotin (IV) compounds R₂SnCl₂ (where R = Me, Ph) with 4H-pyrido [1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-one derivatives (L) has been described. The complexes R₂SnCl₂ · L obtained have been characterized physicochemically and spectroscopically. The pyrimidin-4-one ligands were found to coordinate with R₂SnCl₂ species in a monodentate fashion, mainly via the oxygen atom of the 4-one group or possibly via the nitrogen atom of the (SINGLE BOND)C(DOUBLE BOND)N linkage (the less sterically hindered nitrogen of the pyrimidine derivative) to give pentacoordinate tin complexes. Of the complexes selected to be screened against five tumour cell lines, some exhibited significant in vitro activity.     

Microwave-assisted combinatorial synthesis of polysubstituent imidazo[1,2-a]quinoline, pyrimido[1,2-a]quinoline and quinolino[1,2-a]quinazoline derivatives

A series of unusual fused heterocyclic compound derivatives, consisting of a pyridine and a imidazole or pyrimidine core, with a bridgehead nitrogen, were successfully synthesized by a microwave-assisted, three-component domino reaction of aldehydes, enaminones, and malononnitrile. In this one-pot reaction, up to five new bonds were formed accompanied by generating the lactam group. This method has the advantages of short synthetic route, operational simplicity, increased safety for small-scale high-speed synthesis, and minimal environment impact.
