Ferrocenyl anthracenes: Synthesis and molecular structure

The synthesis of a series of ferrocenylanthracene derivatives is described, utilising the palladium catalysed coupling reaction of 1,1′-bis(chlorozincio)ferrocene with halo-anthracenes. Bis-1,1′-(9-anthracenyl)ferrocene (1) was characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and shows an eclipsed ferrocenyl geometry. X-ray crystallographic studies indicate that there are no clear stacking interactions of either an intra- or intermolecular nature between the anthracenyl rings in the structure. A series of 9- and 10-disubstituted ferrocenylanthracene derivatives has also been prepared. In each case the palladium catalyst (Pd(dppf)Cl₂) is recovered in a modified form, e.g. as the [(dppf)PdBr(9-anthracenyl)] complex in the synthesis of bis-1,1′-(9-anthracenyl)ferrocene. The single crystal X-ray structure of one such palladium complex [(dppf)PdBr-9-(10-chloroanthracenyl)] (15a) has been determined in a case where chloride/bromide exchange had occurred in the palladium complex intermediate. The potential application of compound 1 as synthon for the construction of a molecular sensing device is discussed. Cyclic voltammetry and fluorescence studies have been carried out for selected derivatives.

Synthesis and Enzymic Hydrolysis of Acylated Adenosine Derivatives

Abstract

Various derivatives of adenosine were prepared by acylation of adenosine (6‐amino‐9‐(β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)purine (1) with different molar equivalents of acetic anhydride and/or pivaloyl chloride in pyridine. Compounds 6‐acetylamino‐9‐[(2,3,5‐tri‐O‐acetyl)‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl]purine (3), 6‐amino‐9‐[(2,3,5‐tri‐O‐acetyl)‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl]purine (4), and 6‐pivaloylamino‐9‐[(2,3,5‐tri‐O‐pivaloyl)‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl]purine (5) were subsequently submitted to hydrolysis catalyzed by a number of hydrolytic enzymes. Regioselective enzymic deacetylation at the primary hydroxyl group of 3 and 4 with butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) produced 6‐acetylamino‐9‐[(2,3‐di‐O‐acetyl)‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl]purine (9) and 6‐amino‐9‐[(2,3‐di‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl]purine (10), respectively. All structures were established by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies.     

Synthesis and molecular structure of gold triarylcorroles

A number of third-row transition-metal corroles have remained elusive as synthetic targets until now, notably osmium, platinum, and gold corroles. Against this backdrop, we present a simple and general synthesis of β-unsubstituted gold(III) triarylcorroles and the first X-ray crystal structure of such a complex. Comparison with analogous copper and silver corrole structures, supplemented by extensive scalar-relativistic, dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations, suggests that "inherent saddling" may occur for of all coinage metal corroles. The degree of saddling, however, varies considerably among the three metals, decreasing conspicuously along the series Cu > Ag > Au. The structural differences reflect significant differences in metal-corrole bonding, which are also reflected in the electrochemistry and electronic absorption spectra of the complexes. From Cu to Au, the electronic structure changes from noninnocent metal(II)-corrole(?2-) to relatively innocent metal(III)-corrole(3-).     

Acylated Flavone Glucosides: Synthesis,Conformational Investigation,and Complexation Properties

Acylated flavonoid glycosides are ubiquitous in plants; however, the possible influence of the acyl groups on the typical properties of flavonoids is rather poorly documented. In this work, a series of chrysin (=5,7-dihydroxyflavone) glucosides acylated with aromatic and aliphatic acid residues has been synthesized in a simple three-step procedure. Aromatic acyl groups are shown to impose folded conformations on the chrysin glucosides owing to their ability to stack on the polyphenolic nucleus. The acyl groups may also cause significant changes in the ability of the flavonoid glucosides to bind hard metal ions and proteins, as demonstrated in this work in the case of Al³⁺ and bovine serum albumin.

Synthesis and molecular structure of potassium 3,5-dinitrophloroglucinolsulfonate monohydrate

A novel coordination polymer, potassium 3,5-dinitrophloroglucinolsulfonate monohydrate ([K(DNPGS) (H₂O)] _n ), was synthesized by the reaction of 3,5-dinitrophloroglucinolsulfonic acid (DNPGS) with potassium hydroxide in aqueous solution and the structure was determined by elemental analysis, IR and x-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with space group Pca2(1). Its unit cell parameters are as follows: a=1.0819(14) nm, b=0.56563(11) nm, c=1.8979(4) nm; V=1.1615(4) nm³, Z=4, D _c =2.015 g/cm³, F(000)=712, chemical formula C₆H₅KN₂O₁₁S and M _r =352.28. The bridging potassium ion coordinates with nine oxygen atoms originating from the sulfonic groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, nitro-groups of five DNPGS⁻ anions and two water molecules simultaneously, and a stable cross-linked three-dimensional network is formed. The thermal analysis of the complex show that it dehydrates at about 100°C, and only has an intense exothermic process at 204.2–245.2°C with exothermic enthalpy 1383.4 kJ mol⁻¹.

Synthesis, properties, and molecular structure of nitro-substituted N-methyl-N-nitroanilines

Ten mono-, di-, and trinitro derivatives of N-methyl-N-nitroaniline were synthesized and studied by spectral, electrooptical, and quantum-chemical methods. Three of these derivatives, N-methyl-N,2,3-trinitroaniline, N-methyl-N,2,5-trinitroaniline, N-methyl-N,3,5-trinitroaniline, were also examined by the X-ray diffraction method. The N-nitroamino group in their molecules is almost planar, the N⁷-N⁸ bond is shortened, and the N⁸ atom is characterized by a strong deficit of electron density. The dihedral angle between the planes of the N-nitroamino group and the benzene ring is 56°–92°, which makes conjugation between these fragments impossible. The N-nitroamino group in the examined compounds acts as a weak electron donor with respect to the nitro groups in the aromatic ring; the mechanism of this effect is inductive.
