Synthesis and reactions of 4-(arylhydrazino)coumarins

The interaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with phenyl-, 2-chlorophenyl- and 4-bromophenyhydrazine hydrochlorides in the presence of triethylamine led in all cases to the corresponding 4-(arylhydrazino)-coumarins and 1-aryl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2H-pyrazolin-5-ones. 4-(Arylhydrazino)coumarins reacted with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of piperidine acetate to give the corresponding 2-aryl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)[1]benzopyrano[4,3-b]pyrazol-4-ones. The reaction of 4-(4-bromophenylhydrazino)-coumarin with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde in the presence of piperidine acetate and an excess of piperidine gave 2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(piperidinocarbonyl)pyrazole, but the reaction of phenyl- and 4-(2-chlorophenylhydrazino)coumarins with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde gave 1-aryl-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(1-piperidino)carbonyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles.     

Synthesis,optical, and spectroscopic characterisation of substituted 3-phenyl-2-arylacrylonitriles

The Knoevenagel condensation between aldehydes and substrates with active methylene groups was applied to synthesise a series of 3-(4-substituted phenyl)-2-arylacrylonitriles (aryl = phenyl or pyridyl). Chloro-, fluoro-, or dimethylamino-substituted aryls and a cyano group attached to the double bond of acrylonitrile were studied. Previous studies showed that the condensation products were E isomers. The compounds synthesised were: 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, and 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile. Structures were confirmed by IR, MS, and NMR spectral data. Molar absorption coefficient, absorbance, and fluorescence emission spectra were compared in order to evaluate the effects of substituents on phenyl and the position of nitrogen in pyridine moiety on the electronic properties of acrylonitrile derivatives prepared.     

Synthesis and pharmacological activity of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-[(2S,4S)-1-ethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-4- pyrrolidinyl]benzamide (TKS159) and its optical isomers

Of 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-(1-ethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-4- pyrrolidinyl)benzamide, four optical isomers, (2S,4S)-1 (TKS159), (2S,4R)-25, (2R,4S)-26 and (2R,4R)-27, were prepared from optically active 4-amino-1-ethyl-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine di-p-toluenesulfonate [(2S,4S)-14, (2S,4R)-17, (2R,4S)-20 and (2R,4R)-23, respectively]. The requisites, (2S,4S)-14, (2S,4R)-17, (2R,4S)-20 and (2R,4R)-23, were prepared from a commercially available trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline. The absolute configurations of (2S,4S)-1 (TKS159), (2S,4R)-25, (2R,4S)-26 and (2R,4R)-27 were spectroscopically determined. Of the benzamide derivatives, four optical isomers, (2S,4S)-1, (2S,4R)-25, (2R,4S)-26 and (2R,4R)-27, showed a relatively potent affinity for 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 (5-HT4) receptors in a radioligand binding assay ([3H]GR113808). The activities of 25-27 were less effective than that of 1 for the gastric emptying of a phenol red semisolid meal in rats. All this suggests that the most potent of the isomers was 4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-[(2S,4S)-1-ethyl-2- hydroxymethyl-4-pyrrolidinyl]benzamide (1).     

New resolution of 2-formyl-1,4-dhp derivatives using CIDR methodology. Facile access to new chiral tricyclic thiolactam

(R)- and (S)-alpha-phenylethylamine (alpha-PEA: 7) have been used separately to resolve successfully a racemate 2-formyl-1,4-DHP derivative 4. The process was based on the difference of the solubility of both Schiff bases (6) since one of them crystallized out from the solution. These imines obtained by condensation of (R)-alpha-PEA (7) or (S)-alpha-PEA (7) with aldehyde (rac-4) were separated and analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and their exposition to an hydrochloric hydrolysis conditions led to the enantiopure (4R)-4 or (4S)-4 in excellent yields. Separate condensation of other chiral (8 and 13) and racemic (18) amino thiols as auxiliary with rac-4, (4S)-4, or (4R)-4 is accompanied by an in situ crystallization-induced dynamic resolution, whereby one distereomer of thiazole template selectively precipitates and can be isolated by simple filtration in 76-82% yield with dr > 99. The thiazole species isolated from this process resulted from an amino aldehyde condensation followed by a spontaneous thiol-imine cycloaddition. Finally, the racemate (+/-)-(4R,2'R)-19 and the diastereomerically pure homologous (4S,2'R)-23 and (4R,2'S)-20 (obtained in good yields (79-82%) from 2-aminoethanethiol (18) and 2-formyl-1,4-DHP derivative rac-4, (4S)-4, or (4R)-4, respectively) were converted conveniently in a one-pot procedure into newly tricyclic thiolactams in the DHP series in racemic ((+/-)-(6R,9bR)-21, 72% yield)) and enantiopure ((6S,9bR)-24, 71% yield); (6R,9bS)-24, 70% yield) forms.     

An efficient scalable synthesis of 2,3-epoxypropyl phenylhydrazones

A series of mono and di-N-2,3-epoxypropyl N-phenylhydrazones have been prepared on a large scale by reaction of the corresponding N-phenylhydrazones of 9-ethyl-3-carbazolecarbaldehyde, 9-ethyl-3,6-carbazoledicarbaldehyde, 4-dimethyl-amino-, 4-diethylamino-, 4-benzylethylamino-, 4-(diphenylamino)-, 4-(4,4-4'-dimethyl-diphenylamino)-, 4-(4-formyldiphenylamino)- and 4-(4-formyl-4'-methyldiphenyl-amino)benzaldehyde with epichlorohydrin in the presence of KOH and anhydrous Na(2)SO(4).

Synthesis of the optical isomers of 4-[1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-oxo- pyrrolidine-4-yl]methyloxybenzoic acid (S-2) and their biological evaluation as antilipidemic agent

The enantiomers of (+/-)-4-[1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-oxo-pyrrolidine- 4-yl]methyloxybenzoic acid (S-2), a new antilipidemic agent having dual action on the plasma triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (Cho) lowering effects, were prepared via separation by Chiralcel OJ column chromatography of their methyl ester and also by the same method as the described racemate's synthesis from optically active 1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-oxo-pyrrolidine-4-carboxylic acid respectively. These optically active carboxylic acids were prepared by the resolution of diastereomeric N-[(S)-(-)-[4-methyl-(alpha-methyl)benzyl]]-1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-oxo - pyrrolidine-4-carboxyamide using silica gel column chromatography, followed by deamination with N2O4. The absolute configurations for the enantiomers of S-2 were indirectly determined using X-ray analysis of the 4-bromo-2-fluorobenzamide of the (+)-4-[1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2- oxo-pyrrolidine-4-yl]-methyloxybenzoic acid. S-2 and its enantiomers showed an essentially equipotent activity on the fatty acid- and sterol-biosynthesis inhibition in vitro. On the other hand, in the in vivo activity, (S)-(+)-4-[1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-oxo-pyrrolidine- 4-yl]methyloxybenzoic acid (S-2E) was superior in the lowering abilities of the plasma TG and phospholipid(PL) and was chosen as a candidate for a novel antilipidemic agent. The difference in the in vivo activity among S-2 and its enantiomers was explained from the pharmacokinetics after administration p.o.

The Asymmetric Syntheses of Methyl <small>D</small>-Digitoxoside, <small>L</small>-Oleandrose and <small>L</small>-Cymarose from Methyl Sorbate, an Achiral Precursor

The addition of 4?eq of chloral to osmundalactone (4S,5R)-4 gave quantitative formation of the hemiacetal derivative (4S,5R)-8, which was treated with methane sulfonic acid to afford the intramolecular Micheal addition product (+)-(3S,4S,5R)-9 possessing a 3,4-cis-dihydroxy-δ-lactone in 78% overall yield from (4S,5R)-4. The obtained (+)-(3S,4S,5R)-9 was subsequently converted to methyl D-digitoxoside (pyranoside) (12) in 13% overall yield and methyl D-digitoxoside (furanoside) (12) in 20% overall yield. The reaction of benzyl-osmundalactone (4R,5S)-3 and MeOH in the presence of Amberlyst A-26 as a basic catalyst gave 3,4-trans-δ-lactone (－)-(3S,4R,5S)-20 in 28% yield and 3,4-cis-δ-lactone (－)-(3R,4R,5S)-21 in 45% yield. Dibal-H reduction of (－)-(3S,4R,5S)-20 followed by catalytic hydrogenation gave L-oleandrose (6) in 86% overall yield, while Dibal-H reduction of (－)-(3R,4R,5S)-21 followed by catalytic hydrogenation provided L-cymarose (7) in 85% overall yield.     

Anionic Polymerization of New Dual-Functionalized Styrene and α-Methylstyrene Derivatives Having Styrene or α-Methylstyrene Moieties

Anionic polymerizations of four new dual-functionalized styrene and α-methylstyrene derivatives, 3-(4-(4-isopropenylphenoxy)butyl)styrene ( 4 ), 3-(4-(2-isopropenylphenoxy)butyl)-α-methylstyrene ( 5 ), 4-(4-(4-isopropenylphenoxy)butyl)-α-methylstyrene ( 6 ), and 4-(4-(2-vinylphenoxy)butyl)styrene ( 7 ), were carried out in THF at -78 °C with sec-BuLi as an initiator. Both 4 and 5 underwent anionic polymerization in a living manner to quantitatively afford functionalized polystyrenes and poly(α-methylstyrene)s having α-methylstyrene moiety in each monomer unit and precisely controlled chain lengths. On the other hand, insoluble polymers were obtained by the anionic polymerization of 6 and 7 under the same conditions. The positional effect of substituent on anionic polymerization was discussed.     

ortho-Directed electrophilic boronation of a benzyl ketone: the preparation, X-ray crystal structure, and some reactions of 4-ethyl-1-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxa-1-boranaphthalene

4-Ethyl-1-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxa-1-boranaphthalene (4) is formed in 78% yield from the reaction of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenylbutan-1-one with an of excess boron tribromide in dichloromethane followed by treatment with water. Reaction of 4 with iodine in aqueous sodium hydroxide gives a second oxaboracycle, 3-ethyl-1-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)-2,1-benzoxaborolane (5). The X-ray crystal structure determinations of both boron heterocycles are reported. Other new compounds reported are 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(1-hydroxyphenyl)-butan-1-one (6), formed by reaction of 4 with alkaline hydrogen peroxide, and 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(2-biphenyl)-butan-1-one (8), formed by coupling of 4 with bromobenzene in the presence of Pd(PPh₃) ₄.     

Mono- and dinuclear complexes of chiral tri- and tetradentate Schiff-base ligands derived from 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine

The synthesis and characterization of the bis(bidentate) Schiff-base ligand [(R)-2] formed by the condensation reaction of (R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine [(R)-BINAM] with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde is presented. The coordination chemistry of (R)-2 with Ni(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O, Co(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O, CuCl(2), and CuSO(4) has been investigated. Reaction of (R)-2 with the first two metal salts leads to complexes of the type [M((R)-4)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (M = Ni(II), Co(II)), where (R)-4 is a tridentate ligand resulting from the hydrolytic cleavage of one of the pyridyl groups from (R)-2. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography, which showed that the Lambda absolute configuration of the metal center is favored in both cases. (1)H NMR spectroscopy suggests that the high diastereoselectivity of Lambda-[Co((R)-4)(2)](ClO(4))(2) is maintained in solution. The reaction of (R)-2 with CuCl(2) leads to the dinuclear complex [Cu(2)((R)-2)Cl(4)], which has a [Cu(2)(mu(2)-Cl(2))] core. The reaction of CuSO(4) with (R)-2 gives a dimeric complex, [Cu((R)-4)SO(4)](2), which features a [Cu(2)(mu(2)-(SO(4))(2))] core. This complex can be prepared directly by the reaction of (R)-BINAM with pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde and CuSO(4). The use of rac-BINAM in this synthetic procedure leads to the heterochiral dimer [Cu(2)((R)-4)((S)-4)(SO(4))(2)]; that is, the ligands undergo a self-sorting (self/nonself discrimination) process based on chirality. The reaction of rac-BINAM, pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde, and Co(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O proceeds via a homochiral self-sorting pathway to produce a racemic mixture of [Co((R)-4)(2)](2+) and [Co((S)-4)(2)](2+). The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities of the bimetallic complexes [Cu(2)((R)-2)Cl(4)], [Cu((R)-4)(mu(2)-SO(4))](2), and [Cu(2)((R)-4)((S)-4)(mu(2)-SO(4))(2)] all show weak antiferromagnetic coupling with J = -1.0, -0.40, and -0.67 cm(-)(1), respectively.

Their structures were established on the basis of spectral analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first isolation of the (4R)-4-hydroxy-alpha-tetralone derivative from Juglans species.     

Theoretical insight into electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of [Pt2(pop)4]4-, [Pt2(pcp)4]4-, and related derivatives (pop = P2O5H2(2-) and pcp = P2O4CH4(2-))

The structures of [Pt2(pop)4]4-, [Pt2(pcp)4]4-, and related species [Pt2(pop)4X2]4- and [Pt2(pop)4]2- in the ground states (pop = P2O5H2(2-), pcp = P2O4CH4(2-), and X = I, Br, and Cl) were optimized using the second-order M?ller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) method. It is shown that the Pt-Pt distances decrease in going from [Pt2(pop)4]4- to [Pt2(pop)4X2]4- to [Pt2(pop)4]2-. This is supported by the analyses of their electronic structures. The calculated aqueous absorption spectra at the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) level agree with experimental observations. The unrestricted MP2 method was employed to optimize the structures of [Pt2(pop)4]4- and [Pt2(pcp)4]4- in the lowest-energy triplet excited states. The Pt-Pt contraction trend is well reproduced in these calculations. For [Pt2(pop)4]4-, the Pt-Pt distance decreases from 2.905 A in the ground state to 2.747 A in the excited state, which is comparable to experimental values of 2.91-2.92 A and 2.64-2.71 A, respectively. On the basis of the excited-state structures of such complexes, TD-DFT predicts the solution emissions at 480 and 496 nm, which is closer to the experimental values of 512 and 510 nm emissions, respectively.     

Oxyanion selectivity in sulfate and molybdate transport proteins: an ab initio/CDM study

A striking feature of sulfate (SO(4)(2-)) and molybdate (MoO(4)(2-)) transport proteins, such as SBP and ModA, which specifically bind SO(4)(2-) and MoO(4)(2-), respectively, is their ability to discriminate very similar anions with the same net charge, geometry, and hydrogen-bonding properties. Here, we determine to what extent (1) oxyanion-solvent interactions, (2) oxyanion-amino acid interactions, and (3) the anion-binding pocket sizes of the cognate protein contribute to the anion selectivity process in SO(4)(2-) and MoO(4)(2-) transport proteins by computing the free energies for replacing SO(4)(2-) with MoO(4)(2)(-)/WO(4)(2-) in model SO(4)(2-)-binding sites of varying degrees of solvent exposure using a combined quantum mechanical/continuum dielectric approach. The calculations reveal that MoO(4)(2-) transport proteins, such as ModA, specifically bind MoO(4)(2-)/WO(4)(2-) but not SO(4)(2-), mainly because the desolvation penalty of MoO(4)(2-)/WO(4)(2-) is significantly less than that of SO(4)(2-) and, to a lesser extent, because the large and rigid cavity in these proteins attenuates ligand interactions with SO(4)(2-), as compared to MoO(4)(2-). On the other hand, SO(4)(2-) transport proteins prefer SO(4)(2-) to MoO(4)(2-)/WO(4)(2-) because the small anion-binding pocket characteristic of these proteins inhibits binding of the larger MoO(4)(2-) and WO(4)(2-) anions. The calculations also help to explain the absence of positively charged Lys/Arg side chains in the anion-binding sites of SBP and ModA. During evolution, these transport proteins may have excluded cationic ligands from their binding sites because, on one hand, Lys/Arg do not contribute to the selectivity of the binding pocket and, on the other, they substantially stabilize the complex between the oxyanion and protein ligands, which in turn would prohibit the rapid release of the bound oxyanion at a certain stage during the transport process.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Thermotropic Properties of Liquid Crystals with an Oligo (Ethylene Oxide) Monomethyl Substituent I: Biphenyl-Based Systems

New alkene liquid crystals 4-[oligo(ethylene oxide)_o, monomethylether)carbonyl]phenyl 4-[4(allyloxy) phenyl]benzoate(MBPBEn, n = 1-3), 4′-[oligo(ethylene oxide)_o, monomethylether)carbonyl]biphenyl-4-yl 4-[4-(al1yloxy)phenyl]benzoate(MBPBPEn, n = 1-3), (S)-4-[(2-methyl-I-butoxy)carbonyl]phenyl 4[4-(allyloxy)phenyl]benzoate(MBPBKA), and (S)-4′-[(2-methyl-l-butoxy)carbonyl]biphenyl-4-yl 4-[4(allyloxy)phenyl]benzoate(MBPBPKA) were synthesized and characterized using ¹H-NMR and elemental analysis methods. The thermal transition temperatures, mesomorphic properties, and mesophase textures of these compounds have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), by polarizing optical microscopy, and by X-ray diffraction analysis. The effect of changes in chemical structure on the mesophase properties, mesophase and isotropic transition temperatures, and mesophase textures are discussed.     

From simple to complex: topological evolution and luminescence variation in a copper(I) pyridylpyrazolate system tuned via second ligating spacers

By systematically varying the geometric length and electronic properties of the second ligating ligands of halogen (Cl(-), Br(-), and I(-)) and pseudohalogen (CN(-), SCN(-), and N(3)(-)) anions, we synthesized 11 isomeric/isostructural copper(I) complexes: [Cu(2)(L3-3)I](n) (1), [Cu(2)(L4-4)Br](n) (2-Br), [Cu(2)(L4-4)Cl](n) (2-Cl), [Cu(2)(L3-4)(CN)](n) (3), [Cu(2)(L3-3)(CN)](n) (4), [Cu(3)(L4-4)(CN)(2)](n) (5), {[Cu(2)(L4-4)Br](2)·CuBr}(n) (6-Br), {[Cu(2)(L4-4)Cl](2)·CuCl}(n) (6-Cl), [Cu(2)(L4-4)(SCN)](n) (7α-SCN), [Cu(2)(L4-4)(SCN)](n) (7β-SCN), and [Cu(2)(L4-4)(N(3))](n) (7α-N(3)). These structures are based on a series of isomeric pyridylpyrazole ligands, namely, 3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole (HL3-3), 3-(3-pyridyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole (HL3-4), and 3,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole (HL4-4), and their structural features range from 1-D (1), 2-D (2), and 3-D noninterpenetration (3), to 3-D 2-fold interpenetration (4 and 5), to 3-D self-catenation (6 and 7), exhibiting a trend from simple to complex with dimension expansion and an interpenetrating degree increase. The five most complex structures (6 and 7) with self-catenated networks are based on 2-fold interpenetrated networks linked via appropriate second ligating spacers (Cl(-), Br(-), SCN(-), and N(3)(-)), representing a strategy to construct self-catenated coordination polymers through cross-linking interpenetrated frameworks. Moreover, these complexes exhibit strong photoluminescence, which is mainly ascribed to Cu(I)-related charge transfers (MLCT, MC, and MMLCT) regulated by the electronic properties of halogen or pseudohalogen. The topological evolution and luminescence variation presented in this work open an avenue to understanding the luminescence origin and the structure-property relationship of luminescent coordination polymers.
