Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes having racemic and enantiomeric ligands: [Zn(La)2](NO3)2 · CH3CH2OH and [Cd(Lb)2Cl](ClO4) (La = D,L and Lb = D-(+)-1,2, 2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-diamine)

Two d¹⁰ transition-metal complexes having racemic and enantiomeric 1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-diamine ligands, [Zn(L_a)₂](NO₃)₂ · CH₃CH₂OH (1) and [Cd(L_b)₂Cl](ClO₄) (2) (L_a = D,L-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-diamine, L_b = D-(+)-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-diamine or (1R,3S)-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-diamine), were synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. They crystallize in the Pbca and P2₁2₁2₁ space groups, respectively, and have different coordination numbers and coordination geometry (four-coordinate tetrahedron for Zn(II) in 1 and five-coordinate square-based pyramid for Cd(II) in 2) mainly due to their different ionic radii.     

EQUILIBRIA AND REACTION RATES OF PHOSPHORUS SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS IN 2-R-1,3,2-DISUBSTITUTED PHOSPHORINANES

Abstract

Equilibrium constants and reaction times were observed for six equilibria involving methanol, ethanol, dimethylamine, diethylamine and pyrrolidine with 2-R-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes wherein R = MeO (1), EtO (2), Me₂N (3), Et₂N (4) and (CH₂)₄N (5), or 2-R-1,3-dimethyl-1,3,2-diazaphosphorinanes wherein R equalled the same five groups (6–10, respectively). Reaction times of amine substitutions were shorter for diaza compounds and for those reactions which contained pyrrolidine. Equilibrium constants were dependent not only upon the nucleophilicities of the exchanging groups, but also upon the steric interactions of the 2-substituents with the groups in the 1 and 3 positions. Thus, the values of K's for the equilibria 5 + Me₂NH → 3 + (CH₂)₄NH, and 10 + Me₂NH → 8 + (CH₂)₄NH were experimentally identical, whereas K for 9 + Me₂NH → 8 + Et₂NH was ca. eight times that for 4 + Me₂NH → 3 + Et₂NH. The reactions were acid catalyzed, and, for amine substitutions with 8–10, exchange could be rapid on the NMR time scale. Equilibrium positions of amine-containing reactions were [H⁺] dependent, where coordination of the less basic amine to phosphorus became increasingly favored by the addition of acid. These observations raise questions about a recent mechanistic proposal for catalyzed substitution reactions. Similar substitution reactions, such as Me₂NH with the isomeric 4-methyl analogues of 3, provide a procedure for the determination of cis-trans isomer equilibrium distributions.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of two complexes based on 2-amino-4,6-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine

Two compounds based on 2-amino-4,6-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (4-HABPT), [Co(4-HABPT)₂(H₂O)₄](CH₃COO)₂ (1), and Zn(4-HABPT)₂Cl₂ (2) were obtained at room temperature. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that 1 crystallizes in the triclinic P 1 with cobalt(II) coordinated by two 4-HABPT and four waters, two acetates are counter ions. The complex cations and acetates are linked to a 3-D framework by hydrogen bonds. Compound 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnc2 with zinc(II) coordinated by two 4-HABPT and two chlorides in a tetrahedral geometry; the complex also forms a 3-D framework by hydrogen bonds and π?···?π interactions.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of (1Z,3E)-2-Ethoxycarbonyl-Substituted 1,3-Dienes via Stille Coupling of (E)-α-Stannyl-α,β-Unsaturated Esters with Alkenyl Halides

Palladium-catalyzed hydrostannylation of alkynyl esters in benzene at room temperature gives stereoselectively (E)-α-stannyl-α,β-unsaturated esters 1 in good yields. (E)-α-Stannyl-α,β-unsaturated esters 1 are difunctional group reagents that undergo Stille coupling reactions with alkenyl halides 2 in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ and CuI co-catalyst to afford stereoselectively (1Z,3E)-2-ethoxycarbonyl-substituted 1,3-dienes 3 in good yields.     

Syntheses and structural determination of eight-coordinate Na[YbIII(Cydta)(H2O)2] · 5H2O and [YbIII(Hegta)] · 2H2O complexes

Na[Yb^III(Cydta)(H₂O)₂] · 5H₂O (1) (H₄Cydta = trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) and [Yb^III(Hegta)] · 2H₂O (2) (H₄egta = ethyleneglycol-bis-(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) were prepared and their composition and structures were determined by elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Complex 1 crystallized in the triclinic crystal system with space group P 1; the Yb^III is eight-coordinate by a hexadentate Cydta and two water molecules. Complex 2 is a protonated egta complex, crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P 2 ₁ /c; Yb^III is coordinated only by the octadentate Hegta ligand. Both these complexes adopt a pseudo-square antiprismatic conformation.     

SYNTHESIS OF 2′-DEOXY-2′-FLUORO- 1-β-d-ARABINOFURANOSYL URACIL DERIVATIVES: A METHOD SUITABLE FOR PREPARATION OF [18F]-LABELED NUCLEOSIDES

ABSTRACT

N-glycosylation of 2,4-bis-O-(trimethylsilyl)-pyrimidine bases with 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-3,5-di-O-benzoyl-1-(Br, OBz)-α-d-arabinose derivatives are reported. 1-Bromo-arabinose provides high yield and a favorable anomeric ratio (β/α) of pyrimidine nucleoside in either MeCN or CH₂Cl?CH₂Cl. This method should be suitable for the synthesis of 2′-deoxy-2′-[¹⁸F]fluoro-1-β-d-arabinofuranosyluracil derivatives.     

Syntheses,structures, and characterizations of two coordination polymers assembled from zinc(II) salts with 1,2-bis[3-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-4-amino-5-carboxylmethylthio]ethane

Two new coordination polymers, [ZnL] _n (1) and {[Zn(phen)(L)(H₂O)]?·?3H₂O} _n (2) (H₂L?=?1,2-bis[3-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-4-amino-5-carboxylmethylthio]ethane, phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and X-ray diffraction. Polymer 1 is a 1-D infinite chain (space group P 1) and further forms a 3-D supramolecular structure by S?···?S interactions and hydrogen bonds. Polymer 2 displays a mononuclear structure (space group P 1) and extends into a 3-D supramolecular structure through hydrogen bonds. In addition, spectra and thermal stability of 1 and 2 are also discussed. Strong luminescence characteristics of both polymers are found, suggesting their potential applications as luminescent materials.     

Molecular Weight and Functionality Determination of Polyisobutylenes Containing Tertiary Chlorine Chain Ends by Thermal Dehydrochlorination

A sensitive thermal dehvdrochlorination method has been used to determine quantitatively the HCl arising from -CH₂C(CH₃)₂Cl endgroups in polyisobutylenes synthesized by BCb as the co-initiator. Quantitative endgroup analyses provided number-average molecular weights, M _n and functionality, F _n. Select M _n data obtained by this endgroup analysis is in agreement with those obtained by osmometry, GPC, and NMR techniques; indeed, M _n's obtained by this dehydrochlorination technique appears to be more accurate (2-3% error) than conventional methods (～5-10% error). The rate of HCl loss from -CH₂C(CH₃)₂Cl termini is first order in HCl with an ΔE_a of 19.1 kcal/mol in the 170-200°C range. This relatively low activation energy is most likely due to internal strain in the -CH₂C(CH₃)₂CH₂C(CH₃)₂Cl endgroup. These studies quantitatively substantiate earlier conclusions in regard to the mechanism of endgroup formation in BC13 coinitiated isobutylene polymerization.     

Living Carbocationic Polymerization. XLIX. Two-Stage Living Polymerization of Isobutylene to Di-tert-chlorine Telechelic Polyisobutylene

Abstract

A two-stage process was developed for the living polymerization of isobutylene (IB) employing di-tert-alcohol initiators in conjunction with BCl₃ coinitiator in the first or initiation stage, followed by TiCl₄ coinitiator in the second or propagation stage; the process was shown to yield high molecular weight (up to M ⁿ 20,000), narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD) M ^w/M ⁿ = 1.1–1.2) di-tert-chlorine telechelic polyisobutylenes (^tCl-PIB-Cl^t). The initiation stage involves the homogeneous solution living polymerization of IB induced by the di-tert-alcohol/BCl₃ combination in the presence of an electron donor such as N,N-dimethylacetamide in CH₃Cl solvent at ?80°C and proceeds up to M ⁿ < 5000; this is followed by the propagation stage in which TiCl₄ and the bulk of IB plus a sufficient amount of n-C₆H₁₄ are added to the charge to bring the solvent composition to CH₃Cl/n-C₆H₁₄ 60/40 v/v and the living polymerization is continued until high M ⁿ product is obtained. This two-stage process was developed because 1) it employs very inexpensive chemicals; 2) di-tert-alcohol/BCl₃ combinations initiate living IB polymerization in CH₃Cl but the product after reaching M ⁿ ≤ 5000 precipitates out of the CH₃Cl solution, and di-tert-alcohol/BCl₄ combinations do not initiate IB polymerization; and 3) di-tert-alcohol/BCl₃ systems do not initiate (or only very slowly) the living polymerization of IB in CH₃Cl/n-C₆H₁₄ mixtures, whereas similar TiCl₄-based systems do. The polymerization remains living during both stages although the propagating species and solvent polarity are profoundly altered. The livingness of the system has been analyzed by kinetic experiments and the structure of the ^tCl-PIB-Cl^t product by routine spectroscopic means.     

X-ray Scattering in Liquid Pentane

Abstract

X-ray diffraction investigation of liquid n-pentane CH₃—(CH₂)₃—CH₃ was performed at 293 K. An angular distribution of X-ray scattered intensity was measured by applying MoK _α (γ = 0.71069 Å) radiation. The electron density radial distribution function was numerically found using Fourier analysis. The mean distances between the neighbouring atoms were found. A simple model of short-range arrangement of the molecules was proposed.     

KINETICS AND MECHANISTIC ASPECTS OF THE HYDROLYSIS REACTION OF CYCLIC PHOSPHONODITHOITES

Abstract

The hydrolysis of the cyclic phosphonodithioite C₆H₅ P(SCH(CO₂CH₂CH₃CH(CO₂CH₂CH₃)S) in aqueous acetonitrile follows a rate law that is first order in the concentration of C₆H₅ P(SCH(CO₂CH₂CH₃)CH(CO₂CH₂CH₃)S), and independent of the water concentration. The values of E_a , ΔH* and ΔS* are 10.4 k cal mol^?1, 9.6 k cal mol^?1 and -45 cal mol^?1 respectively. The isotope effect for D₂O as compared to H₂O is 2.5. A mechanism is proposed whereby a pre-equilibrium is established between the phosphonodithioite and water, with a subsequent proton transfer from water to the tricoordinate phosphorus occurring in a subsequent step. The slow step involves hydrolytic cleavage of the first phosphorus-sulfur bond. The compound 2-nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic acid is used to provide supporting evidence for the formation of an intermediate thiol.

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a dinuclear manganese(III) tetradentate Schiff-base complex

A dinuclear manganese(III) tetradentate Schiff-base complex, [Mn₂(salophen)₂(4,4′-bipy)₃](BPh₄)₂ (1) (salophen = N,N′-o-phenylene-bis(salicylideneaminato)), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 crystallized in the triclinic, P 1 space group, a = 13.431(4), b = 13.791(4), c = 13.886(4) Å, α = 73.599(5)°, β = 80.410(6)°, γ = 71.241(5)°, V = 2328.3(12) ų. Complex 1 contains two Mn(salophen) moieties bridged by 4,4′-bipy to form a dinuclear unit, with two terminal 4,4′-bipy ligands. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility (2–300 K) shows very weak ferromagnetic interactions between the Mn(III) ions.     

Reactivity of n-Butyllithium-(CH3)2 NCH2 CH2 OLi System as Catalyst for Copolymerization of Styrene with 1,3-Butadiene

Reactivity of n-butyllithium-(CH₃)₂ NCH₂CH₂ OLi system in toluene (System N) and in cyclohexane as catalyst for copolymerization of styrene with 1,3-butadiene was studied. Copolymers obtained with System N ([OLi] /[CLi] = 1.5) were found to contain more styrene units than the feed monomer ratio, which also occurred with the catalyst system n-butyllithium-CH₃OCH₂CH₂OLi (System A). Pale yellow crystalline precipitates were formed in System N. The precipitates were found to have such compositions as C₆H₅CH₂Li·2(CH₃)₂NCH₂CH₂OLi and caused an enormous increase in the reactivity of styrene in the copolymerization reactions.     

A 1D coordination polymer {Pb[C6H4(COO)2][phen]} n with strong blue fluorescent emission

The hydrothermal reaction of 1,3-dicyanobenzene, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and Pb(CH₃COO)₂ yields a new 1D coordination polymer, {Pb[C₆H₄(COO)₂][phen]} _n . The 1,3-benzenecarboxylate anion found in the final product was generated in situ during the synthesis by hydrolysis of 1,3-dicyanobenzene. X-ray diffraction shows that complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1, a?=?7.5442(2)?Å, b?=?9.7962(3)?Å, c?=?13.1505(4)?Å, α?=?69.739(2)?Å, β?=?80.597(2)?Å, γ?=?71.377(2)?Å, v?=?862.48(4)?ų, Z?=?2, D _c?=?2.124 Mg?m^?3. Complex 1 emits strong blue fluorescent light (λem(max)?=?482.4?nm) when excited by UV light in the solid state at room temperature.     

Dibromamin: Alkylderivate

The N,N-dibrominated amines easily can be prepared by reaction of the corresponding amines with heterocyclic N-bromo imides. Some properties and reactions are given. As just reported they show a thermal instability. Only three compounds could be prepared in pure critalline state: CH₃NBr₂ (until now just known as a solution), Br₂NCH₂CH₂NBr₂ and (CH₃)₃CNBr₂. The last one shows a superior stability and was investigated more exactly. According to: $$(CH_3 )_3 CNBr_2 + (CH_3 )_3 CNH_2 \rightleftarrows 2 (CH_3 )_3 CNHBr$$ for the first time a cristalline N-monobromomonoalkylamine was prepared. Comparison with the acyl derivatives of dibromoamine shows a partly differing behaviour of the alkyl derivatives, which is explained by differences in the polarisation of the N?Br bonding.     

Syntheses and characterization of nickel(II), zinc(II) and palladium(II) complexes derived from three pyrazole-based polydentate ligands

Two pyrazole-based polydentate ligands, 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmppzpo) and 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-p-isopropylphenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmcpzpo), have been synthesized. A third ligand, 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hdmpzpo), has been synthetically modified. Seven new M(II) coordination compounds of general formula M₂L₂X₂ (M?=?Zn, Ni; X?=?NO₃ or ClO₄; L?=?dmpzpo, mppzpo or mcpzpo) or MLX (M?=?Pd; L?=?dmpzpo; X?=?Cl) were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR analysis. The crystal structures of [Zn₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(NO₃)₂]?·?2H₂O (1?·?2H₂O), [Ni₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(CH₃CN)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2) and Pd(μ-dmpzpo-N,N′)Cl₂ (4) were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structures show that complexes 1?·?2H₂O and 2 are center-symmetric dinuclear compounds, with two metal ions bridged by two alkoxo groups and each metal ion with a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The palladium complex, 4, displayed square-planar coordination geometry around the Pd(II) ion with trans arrangement.     

Synthesis of Novel bis-Phosphonate Derivatives by Pudovik Reaction

Synthesis of novel bis-(3-methyl-5-nitro-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-2λ ⁵benzo[1,3,2]oxazaphosphol-2yl)substituted aryl methanes was accomplished by Pudovik reaction. Addition of equimolar quantities of 2-methylamino-4-nitro phenol (1) and ethanol to PCl₃ afforded cyclic condensation product. On reaction with respective aldehydes followed by treatment with phosphorus(III) monochloride of 1, and on subsequent reaction at reflux temperature, this rearranged from P(III) to P(V) state. Their structures were determined by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR, and mass spectral data.
