Homolytic replacement of a hydrogen atom in 2-methylquinoline by A 1,3-dioxolanyl residue

The reaction of 1,3-dioxolane with sulfuric-acid-protonated 2-methylquinoline initiated by the ROOH + Fe²⁺ system [where R = H, (CH₃)₃C, or C₆H₅C(CH₃)₂] at 5–10 °C in water forms 4-(1,3-dioxacyclopent-2-yl)-2-methylquinoline and 4-(1,3-dioxacy-clopent-4-yl)-2-methylquinoline. The selectivity of the formation of the first reaction product increases on passing from hydrogen peroxide to cumyl and tert-butyl hydroperoxide and with an increase in the pH of the medium.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 25–28, January, 1984.     

Structures of silver nitrate complexes with quinolines according to NMR data

Silver(I) nitrate complexes [AgNO₃(L)₂], where L is quinoline or 2-, 4-, and 8-methylquinoline, are synthesized and studied by the multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) method in acetonitrile. The influence of steric and electronic factors of the organic ligand on the NMR spectral parameters is revealed. The fast chemical exchange of the free and coordinated ligands is observed at room temperature. The ¹⁵N NMR spectra are most informative. The formation of a complex with 8-methylquinoline is impeded because of steric hindrances.     

Dihydrocytosines and cytokines from 3-aminopropionitriles

The synthesis of dihydrocytosines 4 from 3-aminopropionitriles 1 has been broadened and the dihydrocytosines themselves have now been successfully converted to cytosines 9 . Unsubstituted 3-(H, alkyl or aryl) aminopropionitriles ( 1 , X = H) convert with cyanate to 1-(H, alkyl or aryl)-1-(2-cyanoethyl)ureas ( 2 , X = H), which in turn easily cyclize with anhydrous strong acid or base to 1-(H, alkyl or aryl)-5,6-dihydrocytosines ( 4 , X = H). The 1-arylaminopropionitriles ( 1 , X = H) which are poorly reactive with cyanic acid combine readily with benzoylureas to form 3-benzoyl-1-(2-cyanoethyl)-1-arylureas ( 3 , X = H). These benzoylureas likewise cyclize with strong acid or base but with simultaneous elimination of the benzoyl moiety to yield the 1-aryldihydrocytosines 4 (X = H). Amines have successfully been added to 2-chloroacrylonitrile to yield 2-chloro-3-(amino and substituted amino)propionitriles ( 1 , X = Cl). These 2-chloropropionitriles also could be converted with cyanate or benzoylisocyanate to ureas and benzoylureas, respectively (1-(H or alkyl)-1-(2-chloro-2-cyanoethyl)ureas ( 2 , X = Cl) or 1-(H or alkyl)-1-(2-chloro-2-cyanoethyl)-3-benzoylureas ( 3 , X = Cl). The chlorine substituted ureas were unstable especially to base and to heat but with anhydrous acid were cyclized in high yield to 1-(H or alkyl)-5-chloro-5,6-dihydro-cytosines ( 4 , X = Cl). Direct chlorination of unsubstituted dihydrocytosines 4 (X = H) did not afford these same 5-chlorodihydrocytosines 4 (X = Cl) under any conditions investigated. 1-Ethyl-5,6-dihydrocytosine ( 4b ) as the cation (hydrobromide) is converted directly in good yield to 1-ethylcytosine hydrobromide ( 7 ) by bromine in nitrobenzene at 140-160° in a concomitant bromination dehydrobromination reaction. 1-(Alkyl or aryl)-5,6-dihydrocytosines ( 4 , X = H) are halogenated at low temperature in the presence of base to form (N³ or N⁴)halogenodihydrocytosines ( 8 , R = H). The N-chlorodihydrocytosines 8 are stable. The N-bromo and N-iodo compounds isomerize spontaneously to 5-halogeno-5,6-dihydrocytosines ( 4 , X = Br, I; R = H). The 5-halogeno-5,6-dihydrocytosines 4 (X = Cl, Br, I) whether from cyclization or direct halogenation are readily dehydrohalogenated to the corresponding cytosines 9.     

Reactions of 5-oxo-1-phenylpyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazides with 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives and the properties of the obtained products

N′-(4-Oxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-ylidene)-1-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazides and N′-(3-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-ylidene)-1-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazides were synthesized by reactions of 5-oxo-1-phenylpyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazides with 1,4-naphthoquinone or 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone. The alkylated analogues of the above products were obtained using ethyl iodide. The interaction of 5-oxo-1-phenylpyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazides with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone was followed by formation of N′-(3-chloro-1,4-dioxo-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl)-1-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carbohydrazides. All these compounds were characterized using ¹H, ¹³C NMR, IR and mass spectra. Some of the new compounds were tested for the antimicrobial and antifungal activity.     

Investigation of the reactions of fluorine containing 3-hydrazino-5H-1, 2, 4-triazino[5, 6-b]indoles with ethyl acetoacetate. Synthesis of some novel tetracyclic ring systems

Novel tetracyclic ring systems viz. 3-methyl-1-oxo-12H-1, 2, 4-triazepino[3′,4′:3, 4][1, 2, 4]triazino[5, 6-b]indole ( 4a ) and 3-methyl-5-oxo-12H-1, 2, 4-triazepino[4′,3′:2, 3][1, 2, 4]triazino[5, 6-b]indole ( 5a ), having angular and linear structures respectively, were synthesized by the cyclization of 3-oxobutanoic acid [5H-1, 2, 4-triazino-[5, 6-b]indole-3-yl]hydrazone ( 3a ). However, cyclization of 3b (R = CH_a, R¹ = R² = H) afforded the angular product 4b exclusively. Moreover, cyclization of 3c (R = R³ = H, R¹ = F) yielded 7-fluoro-1-0xo-10H-1, 3-imidazo[2′,3′:3, 4][1, 2, 4]triazino[5, 6-b]indole ( 6c ) and 7-fluoro-3-oxo-10H-1, 3-imidazo[3′,2′:2, 3][1, 2, 4]triazino-[5, 6-b]indole ( 7c ) instead of the expected triazepinone derivatives. Compound 3d (R = R¹ = H, R² = CF₃) also gave an imidazole derivative but only one angular product was obtained. In all these reactions, formation of the angular product involving cyclization at N-4 is favoured. Characterization of these products have been done by elemental analyses, ir, pmr, ¹⁹F nmr and mass spectral studies.     

Synthesis,characterization, and antioxidant activity of heterocyclic Schiff bases

Schiff base derivatives have gained great importance due to revealing a great number of biological properties. Schiff bases were synthesized by treatment of 4-amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 1 ) with various aldehydes in methanol at reflux. In addition, diamine was reacted with an aldehyde to yield the corresponding Schiff bases. The structures of synthesized Schiff bases were elucidated by spectroscopic methods such as microanalysis, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and FTIR. Antioxidant activities of synthesized Schiff bases were carried out using different antioxidant assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical (DPPH^•) scavenging, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging, and reducing power activity. (E)-4-((1H-indol-3-yl)methyleneamino)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 3 ), (E)-1,5-dimethyl-4-((2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyleneamino)-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 5 ), (E)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-(thiophen-2-ylmethyleneamino)-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 7 ), (E)-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-(quinolin-2-ylmethyleneamino)-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one ( 9 ), (1S,2S,N1,N2)-N1,N2-bis((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine ( 11 ), and (1S,2S,N1,N2)-N1,N2-bis((2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine ( 12 ) were synthesized in high yields. Compound 5 displayed a good ABTS^•+ activity. Compound 3 revealed the outstanding activity in all assays. Compound 7 has the best-reducing power ability in comparison to other synthesized compounds. Although compounds 5, 11, 12 are new, compounds 3, 7, 9 are known. Due to revealing a good antioxidant activity, the synthesized compounds ( 3, 5, 7 ) have the potential to be used as synthetic antioxidant agents.     

Synthetic α,β(1→4)-Glucan Oligosaccharides as Models for Heparan Sulfate

Abstract

α,β-(1→4)-Glucans were devised as models for heparan sulfate with the simplifying assumptions that carboxyl-reduction and sulfation of heparan sulfate does not decrease the SMC antiproliferative activity and that N-sulfates in glucosamines can be replaced by O-sulfates. The target oligo-saccharides were synthesized using maltosyl building blocks. Glycosylation of methyl 2,3,6,2′,3′,6′-hexa-O-benzyl-β-maltoside (1) with hepta-O-acetyl-α-maltosyl bromide (2) furnished tetrasaccharide 3 which was deprotected to α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→4)-α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→OCH₃) (5) or, alternatively, converted to the tetrasaccharide glycosyl acceptor (8) with one free hydroxyl function (4?′-OH). Further glycosylation with glucosyl or maltosyl bromide followed by deblocking gave the pentasaccharide [β-D-Glc-(1→4)-α-D-Glc-(1→4)]₂-β-D-Glc-(1→OCH₃) (11) and hexasaccharide [α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→4)₂-α-D-Glc-(1→4)-β-D-Glc-(1→OCH₃) (14). The protected tetrasaccharide 3 and hexasaccharide 12 were fully characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Assignments were possible using 1D TOCSY, T-ROESY, ¹H,¹H 2D COSY supplemented by ¹H-detected one-bond and multiple-bond ¹H,¹³C 2D COSY experiments.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel 2-(1-benzyl-3-[4-fluorophenyl]-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-fluoro-4H-chromen-4-one derivatives

Novel 1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes 3a to 3e were synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack reaction of the appropriate 1-benzyl-2-(1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylidene)hydrazines, derived from 4-fluoroacetophenone 1 with substituted 2-benzylhydrazines 2a to 2e . The base catalyzed condensation of 1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes 3a to 3e with 1-(4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone 4 gave (E)-3-(1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(4-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-ones 5a to 5e . On cyclization with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/I₂, compounds 5a to 5e gave 2-(1-benzyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-fluoro-4H-chromen-4-ones 6a to 6e . Structures of all novel compounds were confirmed by infrared (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR), and mass spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activities.     

Novel Aplysinopsin-Type Alkaloids from Scleractinian Corals of the Family Dendrophylliidae of the Mediterranean and the Philippines. Configurational-assignment criteria,stereospecific synthesis,and photoisomerization

From the scleractinian coral Tubastraea sp. (Dendrophylliidae) collected at Palawan, Philippines, 3′-deimino-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 4 ) and 6-bromo-3′-deimino-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 6 ) are now isolated as 5:2 mixtures of (E/Z) stereoisomers. The 3′-deimino-2′,4′-bis(demethyl)-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 7 ) and 6-bromo-3′-demino-2′,4-bis(demethyl)-3′-oxoaplysinopsin ( 5 ) are isolated as 2:3 and 1:1 (E/Z) mixtures, respectively, from another dendrophylliid, Leptopsammia pruvoti, collected near Marseille, Mediterranean coast of France. Larger amounts of these and related compounds, needed for a full structural determination, are obtained by synthesis. Thus, condensations of indol-3-carboxaldehyde (9) or of its 6-bromo derivative 14 with hydantoin (15) , 3-methylhydantoin (11) , or 1,3dimethylhydantoin (10) give the prevalent natural aplysinopsins with high stereospecificity. The minor stereoisomers (Z)- 4 , (Z)- 6 , (E)- 7 , and (E)- 5 are obtained by (E/Z) photoisomerization under UV light of the condensation mixtures. The configuration is assigned from larger H? C(8)/C(5′) ¹H, ¹³C couplings in the (E) than in the (Z) isomer, and, in the case of 4 and 6 , from NOE enhancement at Me? N(2′) on irradiation at H? C(8). The stereospecificity of the condensations is attributed to steric inhibition to planarity in the rate-limiting transition states, due to N(2′)/H? C(2) repulsion with (Z)- 4 and (Z)- 6 , or to C(5′)?O/H? C(2) repulsion with (E)–7 or (E)- 5 . As the aplysinopsins undergo (E/Z ) phostoisomerization also under the daylight conditions of the laboratory, their isomeric composition in nature can not be presently assessed.     

Condensed Isoquinolines. 15. Synthesis of 5,10-Dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolines and Related Spiranes

Condensation of o-bromomethylphenylacetonitrile with arylcarbohydrazides gave, depending on the reaction conditions, 2-arylcarboxamido-1,4-dihydroisoquinoline-3(2H)-imine hydrobromides or 2-aryl-5,10-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolines. Analogous condensation of 4-(2-bromomethylphenyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carbonitrile and 1-(2-bromomethylphenyl)-1-cyclopentanecarbonitrile with arylcarbohydrazides gave respectively 2-aryl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydrospiro[4H-pyran-4,10'(5'H)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolines and 2-arylspiro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5,b]isoquinoline-10(5'H)-1'-cyclopentanes, derivatives of new spirane heterocycles. The reaction with condensing agents of 3-imino-2,2',3,3'5',6'-hexahydrospiro[isoquinoline-4(1H),4'-4H-pyran]-2-amine and 3-imino-2,3-dihydrospiro[isoquinoline-4(1H),1'-cyclopentane]-2-amine hydrobromides, synthesized from the corresponding bromo nitriles and hydrazine, may serve as an alternative route for the synthesis of these compounds. The structure of obtained triazoloisoquinolines was established from IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. An X-ray crystallographic study of 2-phenylspiro[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-10(5H),1'-cyclopentane was carried out.

Synthesis, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra,crystal structure and ring openings of 1-methyl-6,9-epoxy-9-aryl-5,6,9,10-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo [3,2-e] [2H-1,5] oxazocinium methanesulfonate

The methanesulfonic acid catalyzed reaction of 1-(4-chloro- and 2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1-methyl-2-imida-zolyl)ethanones 1a and 1b with glycerol produced cis- and trans-{2-haloaryl-2-[(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl]-4-hydroxymethyl}-1,3-dioxolanes 2a and 2b with a 2:1 cis/trans ratio. Besides these five-membered ketals, the reaction of 1a with glycerol afforded a small amount of trans-{2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl]-5-hydroxy}-1,3-dioxane ( 3a , 7%). The reaction of methanesulfonyl chloride with cis-1 formed the corresponding methanesulfonates, cis- 4 , which rapidly cyclized to the title compounds 5 . Base-catalyzed ring opening of 5 furnished 1-methyl-5,6-dihydro-6-hydroxymethyl-8-(4-chloro- and 2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1H-imidazo[3,2-d][1,4]oxazepinium methanesulfonates 7 . Acid-catalyzed hydrolyses of 5 or 7 provided 1-methyl-2-[(4-chloro- and 2,4-dichloro)phenacyl]-3-[(2,3-dihydroxy)-1-propyl]imidazolium salts 12 . Structure proofs were based on extensive ¹H and ¹³C chemical shifts and coupling constants and structures of 3a and 5a were confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography.     

Amination of 4-nitro- and 4-cyanopyridazines by liquid ammonia/potassium permanganate

4-Nitro-3- R ¹-6- R ²-pyridazines ( 1 ) ( a, R ¹ = R ² = 2-pyridyl; b, R ¹ = H, R ² = phenyl; e, R ¹ = H, R ² = p-methoxyphenyl; d, R ¹ = R ² = H ) are aminated by liquid ammonia/potassium permanganate to the corresponding 5-amino-4-nitropyridazines 3a-d. The 4-cyano-3-R¹-6-R²-pyridazines 4a,b are only aminated in the presence of potassium amide in liquid ammonia/potassium permanganate to give the 5-amino-4-cyanopyridazines 6a,b. The 5-amino-4-nitropyridazines 3a,b,d are converted to the 4,5-diaminopyridazines 7a,b,d by reduction over a Pd/C catalyst. Reaction of 7b with glyoxal leads to 5-phenylpyrazino[2,3-d]pyridazine ( 8b ).     

Synthesis and antioxidant activity study of carbothioamide and their corresponding thiazole derivatives

A novel series of 5-(p-(prop-2-ynyloxy)phenyl)-3-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrazole-1-carbothioamides 2a-f and functionalized 2-(3-(aryl)-5-(4-(prop-2-ynyloxy)phenyl)-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl)-4-(3-arylsydnone-4-yl)thiazoles 4a-l were synthesized. The newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by analytical and spectral analysis. From the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method, it was observed that 2d crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system with P21/n space group. The compounds 2d crystallized with cell parameters a = 15.0614 (19) Å, b = 6.0805 (7) Å, c = 20.903 (7) Å, α = 114.136 (6)^o, β = 110.709 (14) ^o, γ = 96.553 (5) ^o, V = 1790.6 (4) ų, Z = 4. From the Hirshfeld surface computational method, the major intercontacts present in these molecules are H…H (31.6%), C…H (18.2%) and S…H (12.2%), respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were tested for their ability to bleach 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical using DPPH scavenging assay. Among the synthesized compounds carbothioamide compounds 2c (90.7%) and 2b (89.8%) exhibited good DPPH scavenging activity compared to the rest of the compounds. Most of the synthesized carbothioamide molecules ( 2a-f ) found to be potent compared to the thiazole derivatives ( 4a-l ).     

Various approaches to the use of 3-acetyl-2-amino-4-hydroxy-1,3-pentadienecarbonitrile in heterocyclic synthesis

Two approaches to the use of 3-acetyl-2-amino-4-hydroxy-1,3-pentadienecarbonitrile (1) in heterocyclic synthesis are considered. A method for preparing 3-acetyl-4-amino-5-cyano-2-methylpyridine directly from1 andN,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMF DMA) was proposed, together with a synthetic route to 2-(2-amino-3-cyano-6-hydroxy-phenyl)-8-cyano-5-hydroxy-4-methylquinoline based on the transformation of hydroxyvinyl ketone1 into its diphenylboron chelate and condensation of the latter with DMF DMA.

Synthesis and structures of iron(iii) complexes based on azo derivatives of 5-oxo- and 5-thioxopyrazole

New potentially tridentate ligands, viz., 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-(quinolin-8-ylhydrazono)pyrazol-5(1H)-one and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-(quinolin-8-ylhydrazono)pyrazole-5(1H)-thione (LH), and their complexes with Fe^III were synthesized. The structures of the ligands and metal chelates (FeL₂A; A = ClO₄ or FeCl₄) were studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and magnetochemistry. The FeL₂A complex (A = FeCl₄) was investigated by X-ray diffraction. These low-spin complexes have pseudooctahedral structures with the N₄X₂ ligand environment (X = O or S).     

Investigation of routes to indeno[2,1-f] -2H-1,2,4-triazepinediones

The synthesis of a number of 3-(substituted thiosemiearbazido)-2-(a]koxycarbonyl)indones (1) from 2-alkoxycarbonyl-1, 3-indandiones and substituted thiosemicarbazides is described. Cyeliza-tion of compounds 1 in the presence of a variety of catalysts gave substituted Δ²-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thiones (³) and (⁴), instead of the expected substituted 3(4H)-thioxoindeno[2,1-f]-2H-1,2,4-triazepine-5(5aH),6-diones (2). The preparation of 4-(2-methyl-1,3-dioxo-2-indanylmethyl)semi-carbazide ( 9 ) is reported. Cyelization of 9 gave 5,5a-dihydro-5a-methylindeno[2,1-f]-2H-1,2,4-triazepine-3(4H),6-dione ( 10 ). Structure assignments of these compounds are discussed.     

Potential antipsychotic agents. Part 8. Antidopaminergic properties of a potent series of 5-substituted (−)-(S)-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-dimethoxybcnzaimides. Synthesis via common lithio intermediates

A series of 5-substituted (?)-(S)-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-diniethoxybenzanndes were made by reaction of the corresponding benzoyl chlorides with (S)-1-ethylpyrrolidine-2-methylaruine (→ 14–16 , 18–21 ). The acids required were prepared in a regiospecific manner from 5-bromo-2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid which was protected as dihydrooxazole (→ 4–8 ), metalated, reacted with various electrophiles (MeI, EtI, BuBr, CC1³CCl³ or MeSSMe), and hydrolyzed (→ 9–13 ). Alternatively, (-)-(S)-5-bromo-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-2,3-di-methoxybenzamide was treated with KH followed by BuLi and an electrophile (I₂ or Me³SiCl) to give the 5-iodo and 5-(trimethylsilyl) derivatives 17 and 22 , respectively. All 5-substituted amides were highly potent inhibitors of [³H]spiperone binding in rat striatal membranes with IC⁵⁰ values of 0.5 to 5 nM (Table 3). Thus, a relatively large steric bulk can be accomodated in the position para to the 2-MeO group. This work also supports the notion that a positive as well as negative electrostatic potential can be located in this position. A selected number of derivatives were also investigated in vivo and found to inhibit apomorphine-induced behavioural responses in the same dose range as haloperidol and raclopride (Table 4). This new group of benzamides is suitable for investigations of dopamine D-2 receptors in labelled or unlabelled form.     

Tin(IV) and organotin(IV) derivatives of novel β-diketones: Part IV. Triorganotin(IV) complexes of fluorinated 4-acyl-5-pyrazolones. Crystal structure of (1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methyl-4-acetylpyrazolon-5-ato)triphenyltin(IV)

The synthesis of three 1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methyl-4-R¹(C=O)-5-pyrazolone proligands LH (L¹H; R¹=C₆H₅: L²H; R¹=CH₃: L³H; R¹=CF₃) and their interaction with R₃Sn(IV) acceptors (R=Me, Buⁿ, Ph) are reported. When R=Me or Buⁿ, aquo (4-acylpyrazolonate)SnR₃(H₂O) derivatives are obtained and the anionic donors 4-acylpyrazolonate (L⁻) act in the O–monodentate form. These triorganotin complexes are not stable in chlorohydrocarbon solvents and decompose to R₄Sn and bis(4-acyl-5-pyrazolonate)₂SnR₂. When R=Ph, stable (4-acyl-5-pyrazolonate)SnPh₃ derivatives, both in solution and in the solid state, are obtained. The crystal structure of (1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methyl-4-acetylpyrazolon-5-ato)triphenyltin(IV) shows a five-coordinate tin atom in a strongly distorted cis-bipyramidal trigonal environment (axial angle=161.2(2)°) with the acylpyrazolonate donor acting as an asymmetric O₂–bidentate species (Sn–O(1)=2.081(6) Å: Sn–O(2)=2.424(5) Å). Electronic effects are responsible for the different behavior shown by these trialkyl and triphenyl derivatives.

Phosphine-Nickel, Palladium, Platinum Complexes and Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl Rhodium and Iridium Complexes of 2,2′-Dihydroxyazoarenes The terdentate dianions of 2,2′-dihydroxyazobenzene (L¹H), 1-(2-hydroxy-4-nitrophenylazo)-2-naphthol (L²H), 1-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenylazo)-2-naphthol (L³H) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenylazo)-5-pyrazolone (L⁴H) form with chloro bridged complexes [(R₃P)MCl₂]₂ (M = Pd, Pt; R = Ph, nBu), [(n⁵-C₅Me₅)MCl₂]₂ (M = Rh, Ir) and with (nBu₃P)₂NiCl₂ the metal dye complexes (R₃P)ML (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) and (C₅Me₅)ML (M = Rh, Ir). The structures of (Ph₃P)PtL¹ and (nBu₃P)PdL³ have been determined by X-ray diffraction. For the complexes (n⁵-C₅Me₅)ML (M = Rh, Ir) with asymmetric metal centers two diastereoisomers are detected by nmr spectroscopy which points to the ?hydrazone”? form of the azo ligand with a pyramidalized N-atom.
