Synthesis and characterization of some methyl complexes of palladium(II). Part 2(1)

Summary Dichloro complexes of Pd^II, [Pd(L–L)Cl₂], where L–L=1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylarsino)ethane (S–As) or 1-(thiomethyl)-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethane (S–P) andtrans-[PdL₂Cl₂], where L=diphenyl(2-phenylethyl)-phosphine (PE), diphenyl(1-naphthyl)phosphine (PN) orN-methyl-2-thiophenealdimine (SN), have been prepared and characterized. The reactions of these complexes with MeLi were investigated. The dimethyl complexes [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) and [Pd(PE)Me₂] were isolated and characterized. Reaction of [Pd(L–L)Me₂] (L–L=S–As, S–P) with HCl affords the monomethyl derivatives [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)]. In contrast to the Pt analogues, [Pd(L–L)Me₂] and [Pd(L–L)Me(Cl)] are relatively less stable than [Pt(L–L)Me₂] and [Pt(L–L)Me(Cl)].     

Structure and Magnetic Properties of Solid Solutions of Molecular Magnetics Based on Ni(II) and Co(II) Complexes with Nitroxyl Radicals

Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes with deprotonated paramagnetic enaminoketones 4(3,3,3trifluorine2oxopropylidene) 2,2,5,5tetramethyl3imidazolidine1oxyl (L) and 4(3,3,3trifluorine1chlorine2oxopropylidene)2,2,5,5tetramethyl3imidazolidine1oxyl (L¹) and alcohols are shown to form continuous solid solutions Ni_xCo_1-xL₂(C₂H₅OH)₂ and Ni_xCo_1-xL₂ ¹(CH₃OH)₂. Single crystal Xray diffraction analysis showed that concentration variation practically does not affect the structural characteristics of the solid solutions. Distinguishing features if the magnetic behavior of Ni_xCo_1-xL₂ · (C₂H₅OH)₂ and Ni_xCo_1-xL₂ ¹(CH₃OH)₂ are the antiferromagnetic interaction of the moments of the nickel and cobalt sublattices inside the polymeric layers and the antiferromagnetic nature of interlayer interaction of the magnetic moments.     

1,2-bis(2',6'-dimethyl-i',3'-dioxa-6'-aza-2'-silacyclooctyl-2')ethane and the corresponding ethylene and acetylene derivatives

Conclusions The reaction of 1,2-bis(methyldimethoxysilyl)ethane and the corresponding ethylene and acetylene derivatives with bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methylamine gives 1,2-bis(2,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxa-6-aza-2-silacyclooctyl-2)ethane and the corresponding ethylene and acetylene derivatives. Analogously, 1,2-bis(vinyldimethoxysilyl)acetylene gave 1,2-bis(2-vinyl-6-methyl-1,3-dioxa-6-aza-2-silacyclooctyl-2)acetylene.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1420–1421, June, 1988.     

3- and 4-Pyridinecarboxylic acidN-oxide complexes with manganese(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chlorides

Summary During interaction of ethanol-triethyl orthoformate solutions of nicotinic or isonicotinic acidN-oxides (LH and LH, respectively) with MCl₂ (M = Mn, Co, Ni), only one true adduct, of the Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O type was obtained. In all other cases, partial substitution of Cl^– ions with the corresponding pyridinecarboxylateN-oxide anionic ligands (L or L) occurred. As a result, mixed ligands (LH-L or LH-L) were precipitated, as follows: Mn(LH)₂LCl, Co(LH)LCl, Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, Co(LH)LCl · H₂O and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O. The insolubility of the new complexes in all common solvents, combined with the pronounced tendency of the 3- and 4-pyridinecarboxylates and theirN-oxides to function as bidentate bridging ligands, favours bi- or polynuclear structures. Spectral data suggest that Ni(LH)₃Cl₂ · 2 H₂O is hexacoordinate, and the rest of the new complexes pentacoordinate. Bi- or polynuclear structures, involving double -M-(L)₂-M- or-M-(LH)₂-M- and single -M-(L)-M- or-M(L)-M-(LH)-M- bridges, were proposed on the basis of the overall evidence; additional features of the proposed structural types are: exclusively coordinated chloro ligands, in all cases; aqua ligands [Co(LH)LCl · H₂O]; lattice water [Ni(LH)₂Cl₂ · 2H₂O]; both lattice and coordinated H₂O [Mn(LH)LCl · 4H₂O, and Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6H₂O]; and, with the exception of Ni₂(LH)LCl₃ · 6 H₂O, terminal, unidentate, N-O oxygen-bonded LH or LH ligands.Abstracted in part from the Ph.D. Thesis (in preparation) of L. S. Gelfand, Drexel University.     

Preparations and properties of vanadium(III) complexes of bidentate and terdentate nitrogen-donor ligands

Summary Vanadium(III) chloride reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2-bipyridyl, and with substituted derivatives of each ligand (B), in ethanol or in acetonitrile as solvent (L), to yield two different series of complexes. These are (a) the neutral species VCl₃BL, where B = 1,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridyl, 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl, L = ethanol. The complexes in which B = 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2-bipyridyl were also obtained with L = acetonitrile, (b) [VCl₂B₂]⁺[VCl₄B]^– where B is the same series of ligands listed above. Vanadium(III) chloride yields VCl₃ (terpy) with 2,2,2 -terpyridyl. All the complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, conductance measurements, electronic- and i.r. spectral measurements, and by their temperature-range (297–77 K) magnetic moments; ring substituents have little influence on any chemical or physical properties of these complexes.     

Synthesis of some 5′-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine as potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase

Summary In an attempt to develop potential inhibitors ofUDP-glucuronosyltransferase, some 5-O-amino acid derivatives of uridine were synthesized. N-protectedL-amino acids were coupled at the 5-O-position of 2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine by esterification employing the method of symmetrical anhydrides in presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 5-O-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonl)-23-O-isopropylideneuridine (1), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine and (2), 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (3), and 5-O-(N-tert.butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylideneuridine (4) were obtained in good yield after column chromatography on silica gel. The treatment of2 withTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) at room temperature for 30 min led to a selective removal of theBoc group without deblocking of the 2,3-O-isopropylidene group of uridine. Treatment of2 withTFA/H₂O (5:1) at room temperature for 1 h, however, released bothBoc and 2,3-isopropylidene groups. TheZ group of1 was deprotected by catalytic hydrogenolysis over 10% Pd/C/ammonium formate.

Synthese von 5-O-Aminosäurederivaten des Uridins als potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase

Zusammenfassung In einem Versuch, potentielle Inhibitoren derUDP-Glukuronosyl-Transferase zu entwickeln, wurden einige 5-O-Aminosäurederivate des Uridins synthetisiert. N-GeschützteL-Aminosäuren wurden durch Veresterung mit der 5-O-Position des 2,3-isopropylidenuridins gekuppelt (Methode der symmetrischen Anhydride in der Gegenwart von 5-Dimethylaminopyridin). Solcherweise wurden 5-O-(N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-O-tert.butyl-L-threonly)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (1), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-seryl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (2), 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridin (3) und 5-O-(N-tert.Butyloxycarbonyl-L-valyl)-2,3-O-isopropylidenuridine (4) nach Säulenchromatographie (Kieselgel) in guter Ausbeute hergestellt. Die Behandlung von2 mitTFA/CH₂Cl₂ (6:1) bei Zimmertemperatur (30 min) führte zu einer selektiven Abspaltung derBoc-Gruppe ohne Deblockierung der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe des Uridins. Eine Behandlung von2 mitTFA/H₂O (5:1) bei Zimmertemperatur für 1 Stunde führte hingegen zur Abspaltung sowohl derBoc als auch der 2,3-O-Isopropylidengruppe. DieZ-Gruppe von1 wurde durch katalytische Hydrogenolyse auf 10% Pd/C/Ammoniumformiat abgespalten.

     

Preparation and stereochemical characterization of some N-acyl-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole derivatives from rotenoids

Summary Several new N-acyl derivatives of 1-(4-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)-7,8-di methoxy-1,9 b,2,3,3 a,4-hexahydro-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c]pyrazole-1-ene have been prepared by appropriate chemical transformation of isohydrazones of rotenone and amorphigenin. A study of their¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectra confirmed the presence of the twocis 3a, 9b, 2 and 3a, 9b, 2 diastereomers in the parent isohydrazones and revealed the strong predominance of the conformers withendo orientation of the 3-NAc group. The conformations due to rotation about the 1,5-bond between rings C and D in the 4-OH and 4-O-substituted compounds were also determined by taking into account the anisotropic effect of aromatic rings A and D, and the hydrogen bond between 4-OH and the 2-N atom, as well as by inspecting the Dreiding models.

The quest for a stable silyne, RSi ≡ CR′. The effect of bulky substituents [1]

The two major fundamental obstacles which so far have prevented theisolation of stable silynes, RSiCR (1), are: (a)the existence of more stable isomers, e.g., RRC=Si: (2) and(b) their extremely facile (exothermic) dimerication. The steric andelectronic effects of various substituents R and R (R = alkoxy,alkyl, aryl and silyl; R = alkyl and aryl groups) on the stability ofRSiCR relative to the isomeric RRC=Si:(E(1-2)), and on the energy of dimerization tothe corresponding 1,3-disilacyclobutadienes (E(D)), werestudied computationally using density functional theory (DFT) and theONIOM method. The goal was to find a combination of substituents thatwill make RSiCR more stable than RRC=Si: and whichwill also prevent its dimerization. For R = R = H,E(1-2)) = 40.7 kcal/mol (i.e., 2 islower in energy than 1), and E(D) = –104.0kcal/mol. 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(silyl)methyl]phenyl, is by 11.1 kcal/mol morestable than the isomeric silylidene 2. However, thedimerization of 1, R = OH, R = m-Tbt remains highlyexothermic (by 101 kcal/mol). 1, R = R = m-Tbt and1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, R = m-Tbt, are by 5.8 and 2.0kcal/mol, respectively, less stable than the corresponding 2.However, the dimerization of 1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, = m-Tbt is exothermic by only 12 kcal/mol. For1, R = (t-Bu)₃Si, and R = Tbt 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, the corresponding1,3-disilacyclobutadiene dimer 3, dissociates spontaneously.Thus, (t-Bu₃Si)SiCTbt is predicted to be kineticallystable towards both, isomerization to (t-Bu₃Si)TbtC=Si: anddimerization to 3, making it a viable synthetic target. Thereported energies were calculated atB3LYP/6-31G^**//B3LYP/3-21G^*; good agreement is found betweenthe DFT and the ONIOM results.     

Investigations of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 8. Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)-quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride

Reduction of 1-alkyl-3-(2-quinolyl)quinolinium halides with sodium borohydride leads to 1-alkyl-1,2-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls which, except for the ethoxycarbonyl derivative, undergo rearrangement to 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls. The last can be synthesized by the alkylation of the corresponding 1,4-dihydro-2,3-biquinolyls under conditions of interphase catalysis and in the system KOH-DMSO.For Communication 7, see [1].Stavropol' State University, Stavropol' 355009, Russia; nauka@stavsu.ru.

Synthesis,spectral and electrochemical studies of alkoxo-bonded mixed-ligand oxovanadium(IV) and oxovanadium(V) complexes incorporating tridentate ONO donor azophenolalcoholate/aldiminealcoholates

Mixed-ligand vanadyl(IV) and vanadyl(V) complexes with tridentate ONO donor azophenolalcoholate/aldiminealcoholates [viz., 2-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-5-methylazobenzene (H₂L¹), N-(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)-salicylaldimine (H₂L²) and N-(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)1-hydroxy-2-naphthaldimine (H₂L³)] and bidentate NN [viz., 2,2-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)] or NO [viz., 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hhq)] donor ligands have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses and by i.r., e.p.r. and u.v.–vis. spectroscopies. The data show that the vanadyl(IV) complexes exist in two isomeric solid forms viz., monomers and polymers, whereas vanadyl(V) complexes exist only in the monomeric form. The polymeric structure results from intermolecular V=OV=O interactions. The complexes with NN donor ligands are one electron paramagnetic and display two ligand-field transitions in the visible region, whereas the complexes with ON donor ligands are diamagnetic and exhibit only LMCT bands. The vanadyl(IV) complexes display an irreversible oxidation peak near +0.30 V for complexes with (L¹)^2– and near +0.55 V for complexes with (L²)^2– and (L³)^2– ligands, while the vanadyl(V) complexes display a quasi-reversible one electron reduction couple near –0.23 V versus s.c.e. The trends in the (V=O), values for the visible region transitions and the redox potential values for the vanadyl(IV) complexes have been scrutinized.

1.4-Bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1.3-butadiyne has been synthesized from the individual isomers of 4-ethynyl-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol. Hydrogenation, bromination, and cleavage have given, respectively, 1,4-bis(4-hydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)butane, 1,4-bis(4-nydroxy-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrabromo-1, 3-butadiene, and 4-(1,3-butadiynyl)-1,2,5-trimethyl-4-piperidol.     

Polarographic behavior of 2,2′-bifuryl and 2,2′-furoin

In aqueous and aqueous-ethanolic buffer solutions at pH<9, 2, 2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin give two-electron polarographic electroreduction waves, the half-wave potentials of which depend on the pH. The primary product of the electroreduction of 2, 2-bifuryl is trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-bis(, -furyl)ethylene, which then rearranges into 2, 2-furoin. The anode-cathode wave of 2,2-bifuryl has been studied by means of a Kalousek commutator. It has been shown that the polarographic behavior of 2,2-bifuryl and 2, 2-furoin is similar to that of benzil and benzoin, but differs from the behavior of analogs of the pyridine series.
