Syntheses of 5‐(3‐Arylsydnon‐4‐yl)Tetrazole Derivatives

3‐Arylsydnone‐4‐carbohydroximic acid chlorides ( 1 ) could react with sodium azide to produce the corresponding 3‐arylsydnone‐4‐carbazidoximes ( 2 ), but not 1‐hydroxytetrazoles 3 . Treatment of 3‐arylsydnone‐4‐carbazidoximes ( 2 ) with acid chlorides such as acetyl chloride ( 4a ), propionyl chloride ( 4b ) and benzoyl chloride ( 4c ) in the presence of excess triethylamine generated the derivatives of the azidoximes 5 . To obtain the desired tetrazoles, the azidoximes 2 should first cyclize directly with acetyl chloride ( 4a ) or propionyl chloride ( 4b ) to afford the acetyl or propionyl derivatives 6 . The cyclized tetrazole derivatives 6 underwent deacylation upon heating in ethanol to give 1‐hydroxy‐5‐(3‐arylsydnon‐4‐yl)tetrazoles ( 3 ).     

The Syntheses of 4‐Arylamino‐1,2,3‐Triazoles and Stable 6‐Sydnonyl Verdazyls from Sydnone Derivatives and Their Fragments

α‐Chloroformylarylhydrazones 1 and α‐chloroformylarylhydrazones of sydnonecarbaldehydes 3 have been prepared by a new synthetic route: α‐chloroformylarylhydrazines hydrochlorides 2 reacted with corresponding carbonyl compounds. Reactions of compounds 3 with various hydrazines to give 6‐sydnonyl‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazinan‐3‐ones 7 and/or carbazones 8 were also investigated. By oxidization with lead dioxide, compounds 7 were trans formed to stable 6‐sydnonyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐3‐oxo‐1,2,4,5‐tetrazin‐1(2H)‐yl radical derivatives 9 (sydnonyl verdazyls). Furthermore, sydnonecarbaldehydes arylhydrazones 5 through acidic conditions could be transferred to 4‐arylamino‐1,2,3‐triazoles 6 which were also obtained by means of acidic decompositions of 4‐formylsydnones 10 .

The coupling constants were determined by means of gated decoupling, and NOE effects were observed by comparison of proton-decoupled and inverse-gated decoupled spectra. Differences shown by the oxadiazoline and the oxadiazole rings and the substitution effects are discussed.

Compounds 7 could react with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalyst to give 3‐aryl‐4‐(1′‐phenyl‐5′‐substituted‐1′,2′,4′‐triazol‐3′‐yl)sydnones ( 11 ).     

Two new cadmium(II) coordination polymers based on bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)alkane ligands and pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid

Assemblies of pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid and Cd^II in the presence of bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane or bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane under ambient conditions yielded two new coordination polymers, namely poly[[tetraaqua[μ₂‐1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane‐κ²N⁴:N^4′]bis(μ₂‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ³N¹,O²:O³)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₂(C₈H₁₂N₆)(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O}_n, (I), and poly[[diaqua[μ₂‐1,2‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane‐κ²N⁴:N^4′]bis(μ₃‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ⁴N¹,O²:O³:O^3′)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₂(C₆H₈N₆)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}_n, (II). Complex (I) displays an interesting two‐dimensional wave‐like structure and forms a distinct extended three‐dimensional supramolecular structure with the help of O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Complex (II) has a three‐dimensional framework structure in which hydrogen bonds of the O—H...N and O—H...O types are found.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of a two‐dimensional sodium coordination polymer of 4,4′‐(diazenediyl)bis(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one)

The crystal engineering of coordination polymers has aroused interest due to their structural versatility, unique properties and applications in different areas of science. The selection of appropriate ligands as building blocks is critical in order to afford a range of topologies. Alkali metal cations are known for their mainly ionic chemistry in aqueous media. Their coordination number varies depending on the size of the binding partners, and on the electrostatic interaction between the ligands and the metal ions. The two‐dimensional coordination polymer poly[tetra‐μ‐aqua‐[μ₄‐4,4′‐(diazenediyl)bis(5‐oxo‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazolido)]disodium(I)], [Na₂(C₄H₂N₈O₂)(H₂O)₄]_n, (I), was synthesized from 4‐amino‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5(4H)‐one (ATO) and its single‐crystal structure determined. The mid‐point of the imino N=N bond of the 4,4′‐(diazenediyl)bis(5‐oxo‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazolide) (ZTO²⁻) ligand is located on an inversion centre. The asymmetric unit consists of one Na⁺ cation, half a bridging ZTO²⁻ ligand and two bridging water ligands. Each Na⁺ cation is coordinated in a trigonal antiprismatic fashion by six O atoms, i.e. two from two ZTO²⁻ ligands and the remaining four from bridging water ligands. The Na⁺ cation is located near a glide plane, thus the two bridging O atoms from the two coordinating ZTO²⁻ ligands are on adjacent apices of the trigonal antiprism, rather than being in an anti configuration. All water and ZTO²⁻ ligands act as bridging ligands between metal centres. Each Na⁺ metal centre is bridged to a neigbouring Na⁺ cation by two water molecules to give a one‐dimensional [Na(H₂O)₂]_n chain. The organic ZTO²⁻ ligand, an O atom of which also bridges the same pair of Na⁺ cations, then crosslinks these [Na(H₂O)₂]_n chains to form two‐dimensional sheets. The two‐dimensional sheets are further connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, giving rise to a stabile hydrogen‐bonded network.     

Synthesis and Fungicidal Activity of (E)‐5‐[1‐(2‐Oxo‐1‐oxaspiro[4,5]dec/non‐3‐en‐3‐yl)ethylidene]‐2‐aminoimidazolin‐4‐one Derivatives

The novel fungicidal agents, (E )‐5‐[1‐(2‐oxo‐1‐oxaspiro[4,5]dec/non‐3‐en‐3‐yl)ethylidene]‐2‐aminoimidazolin‐ 4‐one derivatives, were designed and synthesized in moderate to excellent yields in four steps using α ‐hydroxyketone and diketene as raw materials and characterized by HR‐ESI‐MS , ¹H NMR and X‐ray diffraction. The preliminary bioassay showed that some of these compounds, such as 5e , 6a , 6e , and 7 h exhibit 87.8%, 91.3%, 89.9% and 87.8% inhibition rates against Sclerotinia scleotiorum , 3b , 3c , 4c and 7 h exhibit 96.4%, 92.5%, 90.3% and 76.9% inhibition rates against Phytophthora capsici at the concentration of 50 µg/mL , respectively. These compounds exhibited significant fungicidal activities against S. scleotiorum and P. capsici with EC₅₀ values of 2.56–11.60 µg/mL , and compounds 6e and 7 h exhibited weak inhibition against the spore germination of S. scleotiorum , while the spore germination of P. capsici was strongly inhibited by compound 7 h solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM ) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM ) observation indicated that compound 7 h had a significant impact on the structure and function of the hyphal cell wall of P. capsici mycelium.     

Preparation of 3-Aryl-4-(5-ARYL-Δ2-1,2,4-Oxadiazolin-3-YL)Sydnones and their Conversion into 3-ARYL-4-(5-ARYL-1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3-YL)Sydnones

3-Aryl-4-(5-aryl-Δ²-1,2,4-oxadiazolin-3-yl)sydnones (5) were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxamide oximes (prepared from the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitriles) with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of acid catalysts. No reaction occurred when aliphatic aldehydes were used. The oxadiazolin-3-ylsydnones (5) were easily converted into the corresponding 3-aryl-4-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)sydnones by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation. The 3-arylsydnone-4-carbonitrile oxides were synthesized in good yields by N-bromosuccinimide oxidation of the corresponding 3-arylsydnone-4-carboxaldehyde oximes.     

Syntheses,Molecular Structure and Thermodynamic Properties of 3‐Nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one Europium Complex [Eu(NTO)3(H2O)5]·5H2O

3‐Nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one (NTO) europium complex of [Eu(NTO)₃(H₂O)₅]·5H₂O was synthesized by mixing the aqueous solution of lithium 3‐nitro‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐onate and the dilute nitric acid solution of europium oxide. The title complex was characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra. The single crystal structure was determined by a four‐circle x‐ray diffractometer.

The coordination geometry around the europium ion is a distorted dodecahedron and there are five crystalline water molecules to form the stable structure of the crystal. From measurements of the enthalpy of solution in water at 298.15 K, the standard enthalpy of formation, lattice enthalpy and lattice energy have been determined as ‐(3798.6 ± 3.7), ?4488.4 and ?4452.4 kJ·mol^?;1, respectively.

Studies on the Reaction of α‐Chloroformylarylhydrazine Hydrochloride with Imidazole and 1,2,4‐Triazole

α‐Imidazolformylarylhydrazine 2 and α‐[1,2,4]triazolformylarylhydrazine 3 have been synthesized through the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1 with imidazole and 1,2,4‐triazole, respectively. 2,2′‐Diaryl‐2H,2′H‐[4,4′]bi[[1,2,4]‐triazolyl]‐3,3′‐dione 4 was obtained from the cycloaddition of α‐chloroformylarylhydrazine hydrochloride 1 with 1,2,4‐triazole at 60 °C and in absence of n‐Bu₃N. The inducing factor for cycloaddition of 1 with 1,2,4‐triazole was ascertained as hydrogen ion by the formation of 4 from the reaction of 3 with hydrochloric acid. 4 was also acquired from the reaction of 3 with 1 and this could confirm the reaction route for cycloaddition of 1 with 1,2,4‐triazole. Some acylation reagents were applied to induce the cyclization reaction of 2 and 3.1 possessing chloroformyl group could induce the cyclization of 2 to give 2‐aryl‐4‐(2‐aryl‐4‐vinyl‐semicarbazide‐4‐yl)‐2,4‐dihydro‐[1,2,4]‐triazol‐3‐one 6. 7 was obtained from the cyclization of 2 induced by some acyl chlorides. Acetic acid anhydride like acetyl chloride also could react with 2 to produce 7D . 5‐Substituted‐3‐aryl‐3H‐[1,3,4]oxadiazol‐2‐one 8 was produced from the cyclization reaction of 3 induced by some acyl chlorides or acetic acid anhydride. The 1,2,4‐triazole group of 3 played a role as a leaving group in the course of cyclization reaction. This was confirmed by the same product 8 which was acquired from the reaction of 1 , possessing a better leaving group: Cl, with some acyl chlorides or acetic acid anhydride.

In the solid state, the title compound forms three dimensional network structure through hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds connect the [NiCl₂(C₂H₂N₃CH₂CH₂COPh)₄] and H₂O moieties. The deep green crystals were also examined by elemental analysis, FT‐IR and UV spectra, which are in agreement with the structural data.     

HPLC determination of γ‐aminobutyric acid and its analogs in human serum using precolumn fluorescence labeling with 4‐(carbazole‐9‐yl)‐benzyl chloroformate

In this study, a simple analytical method for the determination of γ‐aminobutyric acid, gabapentin, and baclofen by using high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection was developed. An amidogen‐reactive fluorescence labeling reagent, 4‐(carbazole‐9‐yl)‐benzyl chloroformate was first used to sensitively label these analytes. The completed labeling of these analytes can be finished rapidly only within 5 min at the room temperature (25°C) to form 4‐(carbazole‐9‐yl)‐benzyl chloroformate labeled fluorescence derivatives. These labeled derivatives expressed strong fluorescence property with the maximum excitation and emission wavelengths of 280 and 380 nm, respectively. The labeled derivatives were analyzed using a reversed‐phase Eclipse SB‐C18 column within 10 min with satisfactory shapes. Excellent linearity (R² > 0.995) for all analytes was achieved with the limits of detection and the limits of quantitation in the range of 0.25?0.35 and 0.70?1.10 μg/L, respectively. The proposed method was used for the simultaneous determination of γ‐aminobutyric acid and its analogs in human serum with satisfactory recoveries in the range of 94.5–97.5%.

Syntheses,Structures, Electrochemistry,and Electrocatalysis of Three Copper(II) Coordination Polymers constructed from 5‐[4‐(1H‐Imidazol‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐1H‐tetrazole

Three coordination polymers (CPs) based on the 5‐[4‐(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)phenyl]‐1H‐tetrazole ( HL ) ligand, namely, [Cu(μ₂‐ L )(μ₄‐pbda)(H₂O)] ( 1 ), [Cu₂(μ‐Hbtc)(H₂btc)(μ₃‐OH)(μ₄‐ HL )] ( 2 ) and [Cu₅(μ₃‐ L )(μ₄‐ L )(μ₃‐ip)(μ₃‐OH)(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O ( 3 ) (H₂pbda = 1,4‐benzenedicarboxylic acid, H₃btc = 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylic acid, H₂ip = isophthalic acid) were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 represents “weave”‐type 2D layers consisting of wave‐like 1D chains and 1D straight chains, which are further connected by hydrogen bonds to form a 3D supramolecular structure. Complex 2 exhibits a uninodal (4)‐connected 2D layer with a point symbol of {4⁴ · 6²}, in which the L ligand can be described as μ₅‐bridging and the H₂btc^– ions display multiple kinds of coordination modes to connect Cu^II ions into 1D “H”‐type Cu‐H₂btc chains. In complex 3 , 2D Cu‐ L layers with two kinds of grids and 1D “stair”‐type Cu‐ip chains link each other to construct a 3D {4¹² · 6³} framework, which contains the pentanuclear subunits. Deprotonated degree and coordination modes of carboxylate ligands may consequentially influence the coordination patterns of main ligands and the final structures of complexes 1 – 3 . Furthermore, electrochemical behaviors and electrocatalytic activities of the title complexes were analyzed at room temperature, suggesting practical applications in areas of electrocatalytic reduction toward nitrite and hydrogen dioxide in aqueous solutions, respectively.
