The preparation of 8-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperaziny]butyl]-8-azaspiro[4,5] decane-7,9-dione hydrochloride

8-[4-[4-(2-Pyrimidinyl)-1-piperaziny]butyl]-8-azaspiro [4,5] decane-7,9-dione hydrochloride (buspirone hydrochloride) was obtained in one pot with a 51.8% overall yield. The key intermediate, 1-(2-pyrimidinyl) piperazine, was synthesized through chlorination and cyclization condensation reaction with diethanolamine as initial material. This modified protocol has the notable advantages of mild reaction condition, convenient operation, and high overall yield.     

1β-Methylcarbapenem intermediates via the thiolysis of a Meldrum's precursor

5-{3-[1-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-oxo-azetidin-2-yl}-2,2,5-trimethyl-[1,3]dioxane-4,6-dione (3) has been submitted to nucleophilic attack with various nucleophiles. Meldrum's moiety transesterification, C4-substitution, β-lactam ring opening and Meldrum's moiety decarboxylation were observed. Reaction of 3 with ethanethiol and dimethylaminopyridine in ethanol quantitatively furnished ethyl 2-{3-[1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-oxo-azetidin-2-yl}-thiopropionate as the 1:1 mixture of β (7a) and (8a) diastereoisomers.     

Metal complexes of sterically hindered pyrzolylpyridines. The single crystal X-ray structure of [Cu(L)2]BF4 (L = 1-{pyrid-2-yl}-3-{2′,5′-dimethoxyphenyl}pyrazole)

Reaction of potassium 3{5}-(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)pyrazolide with 2-bromopyridine in diglyme at 130°C for 3 days followed by an aqueous quench, affords 1-{pyrid-2-yl}-3-{3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl}pyrazole (L²) in 69% yield after recrystallization from hot hexanes. Complexation of [Cu(NCMe)₄]BF₄ by 2 molar equivalents of 1-{pyrid-2-yl}-3-{2′,5′-dimethoxyphenyl}pyrazole (L¹) or L² in MeCN at room temperature, followed by concentration and crystallisation with Et₂O, gives [Cu(L)₂]BF₄ L = L¹, L²) in good yields. Treatment of AgBF₄ with L¹ or L² in MeNO₂ similarly gives [Ag(L)₂]BF₄ L = L¹, L²); reaction of AfBF₄ with L² in MeCN gives a product of stoichiometry [Ag(L²)(NCMe)]BF₄. The ¹H NMR spectra of the [M(L)₂]BF₄ complexes show peaks arising from a single coordinated environment. The single crystal X-ray structure of [Cu(L¹)₂]BF₄ shows a tetrahedral complex cation with Cu---N = 2.011(8), 2.036(8), 2.039(8), 2.110(8) Å. The Cu^I centre is close to tetrahedral, the dihedral angle between the least-squares planes formed by the Cu atom and the N donor atoms of the two ligands being 88.3(3)°. Complexation of hydrated Cu(BF₄)₂ by L² in MeCN at room temperature yields [Cu(L₂)₂](BF₄)₂. The cyclic voltammograms of the three Ag^I complexes in MeCN/0.1 M Bu₄ⁿ NPF₆ are suggestive of extensive ligand dissociation in this solvent.

Group 4 metallacarboranes of constrained geometries derived from B(cage)- and C(cage)-silylamido-substituted carborane ligands: a synthetic and structural investigation

The reactions of RNHSi(Me)₂Cl (1, R=t-Bu; 2, R=2,6-(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃) with the carborane ligands, nido-1-Na(C₄H₈O)-2,3-(SiMe₃)₂-2,3-C₂B₄H₅ (3) and Li[closo-1-R′-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀] (4), produced two kinds of neutral ligand precursors, nido-5-[Si(Me)₂N(H)R]-2,3-(SiMe₃)₂-2,3-C₂B₄H₅, (5, R=t-Bu) and closo-1-R′-2-[Si(Me)₂N(H)R]-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀ (6, R=t-Bu, R′=Ph; 7, R=2,6-(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃, R′=H), in 85, 92, and 95% yields, respectively. Treatment of closo-2-[Si(Me)₂NH(2,6-(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃)]-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₁ (7) with three equivalents of freshly cut sodium metal in the presence of naphthalene produced the corresponding cage-opened sodium salt of the “carbons apart” carborane trianion, [nido-3-{Si(Me)₂N(2,6-(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃)}-1,3-C₂B₁₀H₁₁]³⁻ (8) in almost quantitative yield. The reaction of the trianion, 8, with anhydrous MCl₄ (M=Ti and Zr) in 1:1 molar ratio in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) at −78 °C, resulted in the formation of the corresponding half-sandwich neutral d⁰-metallacarborane, closo-1-M[(Cl)(THF)_n]-2-[1′-η¹σ-N(2,6-(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃)(Me)₂Si]-2,4-η⁶-C₂B₁₀H₁₁ (M=Ti (9), n=0; M=Zr (10), n=1) in 47 and 36% yields, respectively. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H-, ¹¹B-, and ¹³C-NMR spectra and IR spectra. The carborane ligand, 7, was also characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 7 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a=8.2357(19) Å, b=28.686(7) Å, c=9.921(2) Å; β=93.482(4)°; V=2339.5(9) ų, and Z=4. The final refinements of 7 converged at R=0.0736; wR=0.1494; GOF=1.372 for observed reflections.     

Nuclear shielding calculations on the primary structure of the gellan polysaccharide

Ab initio, GIAO and IGLO, nuclear shielding calculations are performed on each of the four pyranose ring residues of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit in a single chain of the gellan polysaccharide, [→ 3)- -Glcp-(1 → 4)-β- -GlcpA-(1 → 4)-β- -Glcp-(1 → 4)-- -Rhap(1 _n. The results provide an insight into the effects of the changing primary molecular electronic structure on the calculated ¹³C, ¹⁷O and ¹H shieldings. In particular, the observed trends in the calculated isotropic (σⁱ) shielding values are rationalised withi the framework of the localised molecular orbital shielding contributions and Mulliken population analyses (MPA).     

Tris-chelate complexes with chiral ligands: In search of diastereoisomeric selectivity with remote stereogenic centres

The chiral ligands, 4,4′-bis{(1S,2R,4S)-(−)-bornyloxy}-2,2′-bipyridine, (1S,2R,4S)-1, and 4,4′-bis{(1R,2S,4R)-(+)-bornyloxy}-2,2′-bipyridine, (1R,2S,4R)-1, have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and, for (1S,2R,4S)-1, by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Despite the use of enantiomerically pure ligands, the formation of the complexes [Fe((1S,2R,4S)-1)₃]²⁺, [Ru((1S,2R,4S)-1)₃]²⁺, [Ru((1S,2R,4S)-1)(bpy)₂]²⁺ and [Ru((1R,2S,4R)-1)(bpy)₂]²⁺ proceeds without preference for either the Δ or Λ-diastereoisomers.     

Rhenium(I) methoxo carbonyl complexes containing tetraphosphine or triphosphine ligands; facile separation and X-ray crystallographic studies of d/l- and meso-[{Re2(μ-OMe)2(CO)6}2(μ,μ′-1,1,4,7,10,10-hexaphenyl-1,4,7,10-tetra-phosphadecane)]

Reaction of the activated mixture of Re₂(CO)_10, Me₃NO and MeOH with a 1:1 mixture of rac (d/l)- and meso-1,1,4,7,10,10-hexaphenyl-1,4,7,10-tetraphosphadecane (hptpd) yields a mixture of (d/l)- and meso-[{Re₂(μ-OMe)₂(CO)₆}₂(μ,μ′-hptpd)] 1. The diastereomers can be easily separated by selective dissolution of d/l-1 in benzene, and give clearly distinguishable ¹H- and ³¹P-NMR spectra. The fluxional behavior of d/l-1 in solution has been studied by variable-temperature ¹H- and ³¹P-{¹H}-NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of both d/l- and meso-1 have been determined. Both molecules consist of two {Re₂(μ-OMe)₂(CO)₆} moieties which are bridged by the two P---CH₂---CH₂---P moieties of the hptpd ligand. Whilst the molecules of meso-1 possess crystallographic i-symmetry, those of d/l-1 do not have any crystallographic symmetry. These diastereomers therefore give clearly distinguishable Raman spectra in the solid state. Reaction of tris[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine (tdppep) with the activated mixture affords the complex [{Re₂(μ-OMe)₂(CO)₆}(μ,η²-tdppep)] 2, and the analogous reaction involving bis[2-diphenylphospinoethyl)phenylphosphine (triphos) gives [{Re₂(μ-OMe)₂(CO)₆}(μ,μ′,η³-triphos){Re₂(CO)₉}] 3 and [{Re₂(μ-OMe)₂(CO)₆}(μ,η²-triphos)] 4.

In 8 and 9 each of the two Me₃SiCC-units is η²-coordinated to monomeric Cu^I Hal or Ag^IHal moieties. Compounds 8 and 9 can also be synthesized by the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂ Ti(CSiMe₃)₂ (1) with 1/n[Cu^IHal]_n (6) or 1/n [Ag^IHal]_n (7) in excellent yields. All new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H-NMR, MS). The magnetic moments of compounds 3 were measured.     

Macropolyhedral boron-containing cluster chemistry. Aspects of the S2B16H16 system. Preparation, structure, NMR spectroscopy and isomerism

Thermolysis of [arachno-4-SB₈H₁₂] (1) in boiling cyclohexane gives two isomers 2 and 3 of 18-vertex [S₂B₁₆H₁₆], together with known 12-vertex [closo-1-SB₁₁H₁₁] (4) and known 11-vertex [nido-7-SB₁₀H₁₂] (5). Compounds 2 and 3 are characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and single- and double-resonance ¹¹B- and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The [n-S₂B₁₆H₁₆] isomer 2 takes the form of nido ten-vertex: nido ten-vertex [anti-B₁₈H₂₂] with the 9 and 9′ positions occupied by S vertices, whereas the [iso-S₂B₁₆H₁₆] isomer 3 takes the form of a nido 11-vertex {SB₁₀} subcluster fused via a common two-boron edge to a nido-type {B₈} subcluster that is additionally linked exo to the {SB₁₀} subcluster by a bridging S atom that is held endo to the {B₈} unit. Isomer 2 is readily deprotonated and its monoanion 6 is characterised by NMR spectroscopy and by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of its [tmndH]⁺[n-S₂B₁₆H₁₅] salt 6b; deprotonation has occurred from an open-face B---H---B bridging site.     

Dinuclear molybdenum complexes derived from diphenols: electrochemical interactions and reduced species

The new diphenolato complexes [{Mo(NO){HB(dmpz)₃}Cl}₂Q] where dmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl and Q = OC₆H₄(C₆H₄O (n = 1 or 2), OC₆H₄CR=CRC₆H₄O (R = H or Et), and OC₆H₄CH=CHC₆H₄CH=CHC₆H₄O have been prepared and their electrochemical properties (cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry) compared with previously reported analogues where Q = OC₆H₄O, OC₆H₄EC₆H₄O (E = SO₂, CO and S), OC₆H₄ (CO)C₆H₄ C₆H₄(CO)C₆H₄O and 1,5- and 2,7-O₂C₁₀H₆. The electrochemical interaction between the redox centres in the new complexes is very weak, in contrast to that in the 1,4-benzenediolato and naphthalendiolato species. The EPR spectra of the reduced mixed-valence species [{Mo(NO){HB(dmpz)₃}Cl}₂Q]⁻ where Q = 1,3- and 1,4-OC₆H₄O and OC₆H₄SC₆H₄O shows that they are valence-trapped at room temperature, whereas those of the dianions [{Mo(NO){HB(dmpz)₃}Cl}₂Q]²⁻ where Q = 1,4-OC₆H₄O, OC₆H₄EC₆H₄O (E = CO or S) and OC₆H₄CH=CHC₆H₄CH=CHC₆H₄O shows that the unpaired spins on each molybdenum centre are strongly correlated (J, the spin exchange integral A_Mo, the metal-hyperfine coupling constant). The electrochemical properties and the comproportionation constants for the reaction [{Mo(NO){HB(dmpz)₃} Cl}₂Q] + [{Mo(NO){HB(dmpz)₃}Cl}O]₂]²⁻2[{Mo(NO) {HB(dmpz)₃}Cl}₂Q]⁻ where Q = diphenolato bridge, are compared with related compounds containing benzenediamido and dianilido bridges.     

Novel triterpenoid saponins from Mimusops elengi

Two novel triterpenoid saponins, mimusopin ( 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-2β, 3β, 6β, 23-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)[a-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→ 3)]--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)--L-arabinopyranoside)(1) and mimusopsin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)β-D-gluco-pyranosyl]-2β, 3β, 6β, 23-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)--L-arabinopyranoside (2) were isolated from the seeds of Mimusops elengi. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of 2D-NMR (COSY, HOHAHA, HETCOR, HMBC and NOESY), FAB-MS/MS and strategic chemical degradation. In addition, molecular mechanics and dynamics studies showed that the lack of a ¹³C glycosylation shift at the C-4 of the inner rhamnose in 1 could be correlated with distortion in the corresponding torsion angles.

The structure of 1 consists of a [V₄O₁₂]⁴⁻ cluster covalently attached to two {Cd(phen)₂}²⁺ fragments, in which the [V₄O₁₂]⁴⁻ cluster adopts a chair-like configuration. In the structure of 2, the [V₄O₁₂]⁴⁻ cluster is isolated. And the complex formed a layer structure via hydrogen bonds between the [V₄O₁₂]⁴⁻ unit and crystallization water molecules.
