Superelectrophilic activation of N-aryl amides of 3-arylpropynoic acids: synthesis of quinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives

The superelectrophilic activation of N-aryl amides of 3-arylpropynoic acids by Bronsted superacids (CF₃SO₃H, HSO₃F) or strong Lewis acids AlX₃ (X=Cl, Br) results in the formation of 4-aryl quinolin-2(1H)-ones in quantitative yields. The vinyl triflates or vinyl chlorides may be formed as additional reaction products. The investigated amides in reactions with benzene give 4,4-diaryl 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2-(1H)-ones under the superelectrophilic activation. 4-Aryl quinolin-2(1H)-ones in POCl₃ are converted into 4-aryl 2-chloroquinolines. 4-Fluorophenyl-4-phenyl 3,4-dihydroquinolin-2-(1H)-one give N-formylation products in a yield of 79% under the Vilsmeier–Haack reaction conditions.     

Self-assembly of Tetranuclear Zinc(Ⅱ) Polymer with Mixed Ligands

Polynuclear zinc(Ⅱ) complexes are of interest because of their intriguing structural and photoluminescent properties^[1]. Zinc is easy to form a wide variety of clusters with a number of carboxylates (acetate, benzoate and pivalate), where combination of zinc and the appropiate carboxylic acid yields the oxo-centered cluster as a distinct and well-defined unit^[2]. Working towards an extended network based on these clusters, we viewed their Zn-O-C motif as secondary building unit capable of assembly if an organic dicarboxylate and neutral ligands (4,4'-bpy) are used instead of a monocarboxylate. The rigid and divergent character of the additional linkers may allow the articulation of the clusters into a 2D or 3D framework. This simple and potentially universal design strategy is currently being pursued in the construction of coordination polymers with novel topologies and potentially exploitable functions^[3,4].[Zn₄(OH)₂(fa)₃(4,4'-bpy)₂] (fa=fumarate, 4,4'-bpy=4,4'-bipyridine) was synthesized (Fig. 1) featuring "butterfly" Zn₄(OH)₂ clusters. All the Zn₄(OH)₂ clusters linked by chelating and bridging fumarate forms infinite 2D frameworks, which are further pillared by 4,4'-bpy molecules above and below such 2D frameworks to generate 3D infinite framework. Its building unit is shown in Fig. 2. This complex exhibits intense blue fluorescence at 532 nm in the solid state.     

Syntheses, Characterization and Crystal Structures of Two-dimensional 4,4＇-Bipyridyl Lead Halides, PbI2 （4,4＇-bpy） and PbBr2 （4,4＇-bpy）

Two-dimensional 4,4-bipyridyllead halides, Pbl2 (4,4‘-bpy) (1) and PbBr2 ( 4,4‘-bpy ) (2), were synthesized. The structures were determined by means of X-ray single crystal diffraction. The structure shows a distorted octahedral configuration with six-coordinated central lead atoms. In crystals 1 and 2, the molecules are packed in a two-dimensional network structure through bridging halide atoms and 4,4‘-bipyridine ligands between the adjacent lead atoms.     

Fully aromatic thermotropic liquid crystalline polyesters of 3,4′-dihydroxybenzophenone

A series of fully aromatic, thermotropic polyesters, derived from 3,4′-dihydroxybenzophenone and various aromatic dicarboxylic acids, was prepared by the high-temperature solution polycondensation method and examined for thermotropic behavior by a variety of experimental techniques. The aromatic dicarboxylic acids used in this study were 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 4,4′-bibenzoic acid, and terephthalic acid. The two homopolymers of 3,4′-DHB with either 2,6-NDA or 4,4′-BBA formed nematic LC phases at 285°C and 255°C and also exhibited isotropization transitions (T_i) at 317°C and 339°C, respectively. The copolymer of 3,4′-DHB with 50% TA and 50% 2,6-NDA also formed a nematic LC phase and had a broader range of LC phase than that of its respective homopolymers. Two other copolymers of 3,4′-DHB, both containing 50% 4,4′-BBA, also formed nematic LC phases at low T_f values. All of the thermotropic polyesters had high thermal stabilities. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of new derivatives of carbo(hetero)cyclospirobutanoic lactones

The diethyl esters of 2-oxo-1-oxaspiro[4,4]nonan-3,4-dicarboxylic, 2-oxo-1-oxaspiro[4,5]decan-3,4-dicarboxylic and 7,7-di-methyl-1,8-dioxaspiro-[4,5]decan-3,4-dicarboxylic acids (la-c) are transformed by hydrochloric acid into 2-oxo-1-oxa-spiro[4,4]nonan-, 2-oxo-1-oxaspiro-[4,5]decan-, and 7,7-dimethyl-1,8-dioxaspiro[4,5]decan-4-carboxylic acids (Ila-c), which are converted into the acyl chlorides IIIa-c, and the latter into the chloromethyl ketones IVa-c. Reaction of the acyl chlorides of IIa and IIb with thiosemicarbazide gives the acid thiosemicarbazides Va and Vb, which form the triazoles VIa and VIb in potassium hydroxide solution, and the thiadiazoles VIIa an VIIb in sulfuric acid. Reaction of the chloromethyl ketones IVa-c with formamide gives the imidazoles VIIIa-c. The diesters Ia-creatwithbenzylamine to form the N-benzylimides IXa-c.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of a complex bearing interesting structural motifs: [Cu (C4H7N3) H2O (4,4′-Hbpy)]·SO4·NO3

A new complex [Cu (C₄H₇N₃) H₂O (4,4′-Hbpy)]·SO₄·NO₃ was synthesized and X-ray characterized. Elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy of the complex were performed. The crystal system is orthorhombic. Crystal data: Fw=498.98, spacegroup: P212121. Z=4, a=14.952(3), b=20.491(4), c=6.713 Å. V=2056.7(9) Å. λ(Mo-K)=0.71070 Å. μ=12.18 cm⁻¹, D_calc=1.66 g/cm³, F₀₀₀=1032.00, R=0.062, Rw=0.087. X-ray analysis illustrated that 4,4′-bpy is mono-protonated and that there are two kinds of anions in one molecule, which give rise to the hydrogen interaction between the molecules in the crystal. Then an extended three-dimensional network is formed along the hydrogen bonds and π–π bonds between the pyridine rings.     

Preparation and properties of polymides from 3,4′- and 4,4′-oxydianiline and various aliphatic and aromatic diacids

Aromatic-aliphatic polyamides of high molecular weight were prepared by the direct polycondensation of 3,4′- and 4,4′-oxydianiline with aliphatic diacids with 4-10 methylene groups in a triphenyl phosphite/pyridine system. Polyamides prepared from 3,4′-oxydianiline are characterized by greater solubility, lower melt temperatures, and lower glass transition temperatures than are those from 4,4′-oxydianiline. Aromatic polyamides from 3,4′- and 4,4′-oxydianiline and isophthalic and terephthalic acids were also prepared and characterized.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Four New Complexes [Mn(4,4''-bip)2(OH2)4](DBA)·4H2O and [M(OH2)(HDPA)2]·3H2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni)

Four new transition metal complexes, [Mn(4,4'-bip)2(OH2)4](DBA)·4H2O 1(4,4'-bip = 4,4'-bipyridine, H2DBA = benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) and [M(OH2)(HDPA)2]·3H2O (M = Mn 2, M = Co 3, M = Ni 4,H2DPA = 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid), have been prepared from the reaction of transition metals and carboxylic acids, and characterized by X-ray and elemental analyses. For compound 1, the packing diagram shows that a three-dimensional network is formed via hydrogen bonds and strong π-π interactions. For compounds 2, 3 and 4,a double-helical chain is formed through hydrogen bonds. Moreover, a three-dimensional network is constructed from chains via complicated hydrogen bonds between crystal water molecules and oxygen atoms of HDPA-.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic, Thermochemical Properties of Lanthanide Complexes with 3,4-Diethoxybenzoic Acid and 1,10-Phenanthroline

Three novel lanthanide complexes [Ln(3,4-DEOBA)₃phen]₂[Ln=Eu(1), Tb(2), Dy(3); 3,4-DEOBA=3,4- diethoxybenzoate; phen=1,10-phenanthroline] were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrometry. The luminescence spectra of complexes 1 and 2 show the characteristic emission of Eu³⁺ ion(⁵D₀→⁷F_0-3) and Tb³⁺ ion(⁵D₄→⁷F_6-3). The thermal decomposition mechanism of the title complexes and the analysis of the evolved gases were investigated by thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry-Fourier transform infrared(TG/DSC-FTIR) technology. The results indicate the complexes are thermally stable. In the thermal decomposition of the complexes, phen molecules lost firstly, and then 3,4-DEOBA ligand decomposed into H₂O, CO₂ and other gaseous molecules. Besides, several gaseous organic fragments were also detected. The heat capacities of complexes 1―3 were measured by DSC in a temperature range of 263.15―340.15 K. Based on the fitted polynomial and thermodynamic equations, the smoothed heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the three complexes were calculated. The study on biological activity showed that the complexes exhibited good antibacterial activity against Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.     

Synthesis of 3-aryl-2-[hydroxy(diaryl)methyl]-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolines

By heating arylamides of N-ethoxalylanthranilic acid in the acetic acid mediun in the presence of triethylamine the corresponding ethyl 3-aryl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylates were obtained. The latter in the conditions of the Grignard reaction formed 3-aryl-2-[hydroxy-(diaryl)methyl]-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazolines.     

Preparation andH-NMR spectra of some adamantane derivatives: 2-formyladamantane, 2-bromo-3-methyl-2-homoadamantene, 4,4-adamantylene-1,3-dioxanes and some geminal substitued adamantanes, including 2-adamantylenecyclobutanone

A new two-step synthesis for 2-formyladamantane (3) from adamantanone is described. The Prins reaction of alkylidene-adamantane affords 4,4-adamantylene-1,3-dioxanes (9) and -2-adamantyl-alkanals (10), but no 5,5-adamantylene-1,3-dioxanes. The brominolysis of 2,2-ethyleneadamantane results in 2-bromo-3-methyl-2-homoadamantene (13). No 2,2-carbonsubstituted adamantane derivatives were obtained by reaction of organometallic reagents on adamantyleneoxirane. Grignard reagent may easily open the oxirane moiety by action of magnesium iodide, present in the reaction medium. A one-step synthesis of 2-adamantylenecyclobutanone from adamantanone and difenylsulfonium cyclopropylide is described. Some representative 300 MHz¹H-NMR spectra are given and discussed.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Four New Complexes [Mn(4,4′-bip)_2(OH_2)_4](DBA)·4H_2O and [M(OH_2)(HDPA)_2]·3H_2O (M = Mn,Co,Ni)

1 INTRODUCTION During the past years, dicarboxylic acids have been widely used as one polydentate ligand invo- lved in various metal chelation reactions to form transition or rare earth metal complexes with inter- esting properties in material science[1] and biological systems[2].

Synthesis of (2R,3S,4S)-4-aryl-3-hydroxyprolinols has been established starting from 2-benzyloxymethylpyrrolidin-2-one framework, which is derived from commercially available trans-(2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline. The single diastereomer having a trans–cis relative configuration with C₂ and C₃ and C₃ and C₄ is constructed in two one-pot functional group transformations of Grignard addition/dehydration and epoxidation/isomerization as the key steps in moderate yield.     

Facial Preparation of Magnetic Lipase as Efficient Biocatalyst to Resolute Esters Enantioselectively

Magnetic lipase was prepared by a facial and cost-effective method. Lipase from Pseudomonase cepacia was covalently linked to Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, which were produced by co-precipitating Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions in ammonia solution and subsequent coating with 3,4-dihydroxylaldehyde. Magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles modified with 3,4-dihydroxylaldehyde bonded lipase efficiently(47 mg/g). The resulting magnetic-lipase is active(0.68 μmol·min^-1·mg^-1) and enantioselective(e.e. of the product >98%) in the hydrolysis of racemic 1-phenylethyl acetate. Furthermore, as a heterogeneous catalyst, the magnetic-lipase can be magnetically recycled, and a retained activity of 48% was obtained even after 6 cycles.

The reaction of Ag₂O with pybz (pybz=4-(4-pyridyl)benzoate) gave the monomer compound [Ag(pycz)(H₂O)], 1. Using 4,4′-bipyridyl (bpy) as a spacer to increase the length of the monomer resulted in the nanosized molecular chain compound [Ag₂(pybz)₂(bpy)], 2. In 1, two monomers [Ag(pycz)(H₂O)] are combined together through Agπ, ππ and Ag(CC) interactions to form a dimer, with the distances of 3.34, 3.56 and 3.18 Å, respectively. In 2, the [Ag₂(pybz)₂(bpy)] units are held together via ππ (3.4–3.5 Å) interactions resulting in a 3D network with 1D open channels.

用茂钛配合物高效、高选择性催化4-乙烯基环己烯的异构化

The catalytic species [Cp2TiH], formed in situ from the reaction of titanocene dichloride with Grignard reagents having a β-H, was found to be a very effective catalytic system for isomerization of diolefin[1～3]. Based on our previous work[3], the titanium-catalyzed isomerization of 4-vinyl-cyclohexene (VCH) was studied in some detail. In this communication, we report the use of various substituted titanocene and polymer-supported titanocene complexes with Grignard reagents as catalyst for the isomerization of VCH. It was reported that base-catalyzed isomerization of VCH formed a very complicated mixture with 60 % conversion[4].

Epoxide 2 was prepared from 3,4-dichloro-1-butene (1) by epoxidation with m-CPBA and subsequent dehydrohalogenation of the intermediate dichloroepoxide with molten KOH, affording 2 in 64% overall yield (2 steps). Catalytic CuBr/SMe(2)-mediated S(N)2' addition of sp(2)- or sp(3)-hybridized Grignard reagents to 2-chloro-3,4-epoxy-1-butene (2) afforded (Z)-3-chloroallylic alcohols such as 3 in good yields and with high regio- and stereoselectivity.
