Stereochemicai study of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)indolizinones by1H and13C NMR

Stereochemistry of 7-aryl-1,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-3(2H)-indolizinones was studied by¹H and¹³C NMR. Complete assignment of¹H NMR signals and analysis of¹H-¹H coupling constants were performed using the iterative PANIC program. Values of³ J _6,7,³ J _7,8endo, and⁴ J _5,7 allow one to unambiguously identify the correspondingexo- andendo-stereoisomers. For stereoisomers with exo-orientation of H(7), complete assignment of¹³C NMR signals was performed on the basis of analysis of the¹³C-¹H coupling constants using two dimensional heteronuclear shift-correlating spectroscopy.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Gold(III)pentafluorophenylarylazoimidazole: Synthesis and spectral (H, C, COSY, HMQC NMR) characterisation

Reaction of [Au^III(C₆F₅)₃(tht)] with RaaiR′ in dichloromethane medium leads to [Au^III(C₆F₅)₃ (RaaiR′)] [RaaiR′=p-R-C₆H₄-N=N-C₃H₂-NN-l-R′, (1-3), R = H (a), Me (b), Cl (c) and R′= Me (1), CH₂CH₃ (2), CH₂Ph (3), tht is tetrahydrothiophen]. The nine new complexes are characterised by ES/MS as well as FAB, IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H,¹³C,¹⁹F) spectroscopic studies. In addition to dimensional NMR studies as¹H,¹H COSY and¹H¹³C HMQC permit complete assignment of the complexes in the solution phase.     

Biphenyl tricarbonylchromium complexes,part 10

One CO group of the dimethyldihydrophenanthrene mono-Cr(CO)₃ complex (1) was photochemically substituted for CS (2) or P(C₆H₅)₃ (3). Separation of all four possible stereoisomers [(R) _m (R) _b /(S) _m (S) _b and (R) _m (S) _b /(S) _m (R) _b ] of the complexes1–3 was accomplished by two successive chromatographic steps: Separation of the enantiomers on triacetylcellulose was followed by MPLC at low temperatures to yield both epimers (exo andendo). Their configurational assignment is based on optical comparison of the CD-spectra and on¹H-NMR-spectroscopy. The kinetics of the biphenyl flip were followed by CD and NMR. The results revealed that the rotational barriers around the biphenyl bond are hardly altered by the substitution of CO for CS or even P(C₆H₅)₃. Whereasexo andendo-isomers of1 and2 are obtained in appr. equal amounts, in the more crowded complex3 theexo-isomer predominates over theendo-form by 80:20%.Dedicated to Prof.K. Komarek with cordial wishes on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his birthday.     

The adamantane rearrangement of syn- and anti-Tricyclo[4.2.1.1.12,5] decane. Part II. Rearrangements initiated by regioselective formation of carbocations at C(3) and C(9)

The endo- and exo-alcohols 5–12 of syn-( 1 ) and anti-tricyclo[4.2.1. 1^2.5]decane ( 2 ) were treated with BF₃/Et₃SiH (ionic hydrogenation) in order to study the behaviour of the corresponding regioselectively generated carbocations at C(3) ( a (syn), b (anti)) and C(9) ( c (syn), d (anti)). The anti-hydrocarbon 2 is practically the sole product obtained starting with the four 3-alcohols (via a → b from 5 and 6 (syn) and via b from 9 and 10 (anti)). The four 9-alcohols in each case yield a mixture of 2-endo, 3-endo- ( 3 ) and 2-exo,3-exo-trimethylene-8,9,10-trinorbornane (4) (via c → e from 7 and 8 (syn) and via d → f from 11 and 12 (anti)), but no hydrocarbon 2 , i.e. none of the 1,3-H shifts c → a and d → b is involved.     

Diorganotin Complexes with N(4)-Phenylthiosemicarbazones: Synthesis,Spectroscopic Characterization,and Antibacterial Activity

Abstract

The organotin(IV) complexes, SnPh₂L^a (1), SnMe₂L^a (2), SnBu₂L^a (3), SnPh₂L^b (4), SnMe₂L^b (5), SnPh₂L^c (6), SnMe₂L^c (7), and SnBu₂L^c (8) were obtained by reaction of SnR ₂Cl₂ (R = Ph, Me, and Bu) with 1-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (H₂L^a), 1-((2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)methylene)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (H₂L^b), and 1-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (H₂L^c). The synthesized complexes have been investigated by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. The data show that the thiosemicarbazone acts as a tridentate dianionic ligand and coordinates via the thiol group, imine nitrogen, and phenolic oxygen. The coordination number of tin is 5. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the ligands and their complexes have been evaluated against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria and compared with the standard antibacterial drugs.

Mercury(II) cyanide complexes with alkyldiamines: solid-state/solution NMR,computational, and antimicrobial studies

Mercury cyanide complexes of alkyldiamines (1–6), [Hg(L)(CN)₂] (where L?=?en (1,2-diaminoethane), pn (1,3-diaminopropane), N-Me-en, N, N′-Me₂-en, N, N′-Et₂-en, and N, N′-ipr₂-en), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N solution NMR in DMSO-d₆, as well as ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 have been studied computationally, built and optimized by GAUSSIAN03 using DFT at B3LYP level with LanL2DZ basis set. Binding modes of en and bn (where bn?=?1,4-diaminobutane) toward Hg(CN)₂ are completely different. Complexes with en and pn show chelating binding to Hg(II), while bn behaves as a bridging ligand to form a polymeric structure, [Hg(CN)₂-bn]_∞ [B.A. Al-Maythalony, M. Fettouhi, M.I.M. Wazeer, A.A. Isab. Inorg. Chem. Commun., 12, 540 (2009).]. The solution ¹³C NMR of the complexes demonstrates a slight shift of the ?C≡N (0.9 to 2?ppm) and ?C–NH₂ (0.25 to 6?ppm) carbon resonances, while the other resonances are relatively unaffected. ¹⁵N labeling studies have shown involvement of alkyldiamine ligands in coordination to the metal. The principal components of the ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg shielding tensors have been determined from solid-state NMR data. Antimicrobial activity studies show that the complexes exhibit higher antibacterial activities toward various microorganisms than Hg(CN)₂.     

Theoretical refinements of theendo and theexo structures of tetraborane(8) carbonyl

The molecular structures of theendo (1a) andexo (1b) isomers of B₄H₈CO have been optimized at the ab initio MP2(Full)/6-31G^* level of theory. The agreement of the computed geometrical parameters with the recently published electron-diffraction (GED) data is very good, even though a number of geometrical constraints were applied in the experimental determination. The IGLO (individual gauge for localized orbitals)¹¹B NMR chemical shifts, calculated at the II//MP2/6-31G^* level, are also in accord with experiment. The formation of1a and1b by association of B₄H₈ and CO is computed to be exothermic by 22.8 and 22.2 kcal/mol, respectively, at the MP2(Full)/6-31G^*//MP2(Full)/6-31G^* + ZPE(6-31G^*) level of theory. The Lewis acid strength of B₄H₈ toward CO is comparable to that of BH₃.     

Preparation and steric structure of 3(2H)-pyridazinones and 1,2-oxazin-6-ones fused with three- to six-membered saturated carbocycles or norbornane skeleton

Summary Reactions ofcis-2-(4-methylbenzoyl)-cyclopropane- (1) and-cyclobutanecarboxylic acids (2), the stereoisomeric cyclohexyl homologues (3 and4), and di-endo-3-(4-methylbenzoyl)-bi-cyclo-[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (5) with hydrazines yield the cycloalkane-condensed (3(2H)-pyridazinones6–9 and the norbornane di-endo-fused derivatives10. With hydroxylamine, compounds1 and3–5 were transformed to the cycloalkane- and norbornane-condensed 1,2-oxazin-6-ones11–14. Transformation of3–5 led to thetrans-hexahydroanthrone17a and its methylene-bridged analogue24. From the stereoisomeric hexahydro-1(3H)-isobenzofuranones20 and21, the partly saturated anthrones were also prepared; the products (16b and17b) contain the methyl substituent in position 6. On reduction,16b yield the 2-methyloctahydroanthracene22. The structures of the compounds were proved by¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy, making use of NOE, DEPT, and CH-COSY techniques.

The structure of angustifoline,an alkaloid ofLupinus angustifolius,in solution

Summary The¹H and¹³C NMR spectra of the lupin alkaloidangustifoline 1 in four solvents (cyclohexane-d₁₂, CDCl₃, CD₃CN, and C₆D₆) were assigned using 2D H,H and H,C COSY and 2D J-resolved spectra. The torsional HCCH angles calculated from the vicinalJ _HH coupling constants are essentially in agreement with those expected for the deformed all-chair conformation withendo oriented N(12)-H bond, reported earlier for1 in the solid state. Some arguments seem to point, however, to a small contribution of other conformations: with ring A deformed in another direction, deformed all-chair withexo oriented N(12)-H bond and/or a conformation with ring C in the boat form.Lupin Alkaloids, part 7     

Reductive Radical Cyclisations of Bromo Acetals and (Bromomethyl)silyl Ethers of Terpenoid Alcohols

The tin hydride promoted and the reductive vitamin B₁₂ catalysed radical cyclisation of mixed 2-bromo-acetaldehyde acetals and of (2-bromomethyl)dimethylsilyl ethers of allylic terpenoid alcohols has been investigated: 3-oxadeca-5,9-dien-l-yl radicals undergo 5-‘exo’ cyclisation to oxolanes (Scheme 4), 3-oxa-2-siladeca-5,9-dien-1-yl radicals sequential 6-‘endo’→5-‘exo’ tandem cyclisation to cis-3-oxa-4-silabicyclo[4.3.0]nonanes (Scheme 5), and 3-oxa-2-silatetradeca-5,9,13-trien-l-yl radicals sequential 6-‘endo’→6-‘endo’→5-‘exo’ triple cyclisation to trans-transoid-trans- 12-oxa-11-silatricyclo[7.4.0.0^2,6] tridecanes (Scheme 6).     

Chemie polyfunktioneller Moleküle, 94 Chrom- und Wolfram-pentacarbonylderivate des 4-Methyl-1,2,6-triphosphatricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]heptans (P3-Nortricyclans)

The P₃-nortricyclane 4-methyl-1,2,6-triphosphatricyclo[2.2.1.0^2,6]heptane, CH₃C(CH₂P)₃, (1), is synthesized in a better yield than earlier described from P₄, a Na/K alloy, and CH₃C(CH₂Br)₃ in boiling 1,2-dimethoxyethane. It reacts withM(CO)₅ thf (M=Cr, W) in the molar ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 to form the pentacarbonylmetal complexes CH₃C(CH₂P)₃[M(CO)₅] _n [n=1, 2, 3;M=Cr (a), W (b)], (2 a, b–4 a, b).1 gives with Mo(CO)₅ thf only mixtures of CH₃C(CH₂P)₃[Mo(CO)₅] _n andcis-Mo(CO)₄ derivatives, which were identified by their infrared active A₁ v(CO) modes at 2075 and 2025 cm^–1.All the new compounds have been characterized also by their¹H{³¹P},³¹P{¹H} NMR, IR,Raman, and mass spectra.

     

Cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine tellurides: synthesis and multinuclear (31P, 125Te,and 113Cd) NMR characterization in solution

New cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine telluride ligands of the type CdX₂(R₃PTe)_n [X?=?ClO₄^?, n?=?4: R?=?n-Bu (1), Me₂?N (2), C₅H₁₀?N (3), C₄H₈?N (4) or OC₄H₈?N (5); X?=?Cl^–, n?=?2: R?=?n-Bu (6), Me₂?N (7), C₅H₁₀?N (8), C₄H₈?N (9) or OC₄H₈?N (10)] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and multinuclear (³¹P, ¹²⁵Te, and ¹¹³Cd) NMR spectroscopy. In particular, the solution structures of these complexes were confirmed by ¹¹³Cd NMR at low temperature, which displays a quintuplet for each of the perchlorate complexes and a triplet for each of the chloride complexes due to coupling with four and two equivalent phosphorus atoms, respectively, indicating a four-coordinate tetrahedral geometry for the metal center. These multiplet features were further accompanied by one bond Te–Cd couplings, clearly showing that the ligand is coordinated to the metal through tellurium. The results are discussed and compared with those obtained for closely related phosphine chalcogenide analogs.     

Syntheses and absolute stereochemistry of chiral 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracenes and their tricarbonylchromium complexes

Summary Several chiral mono- and disubstituted 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracenes have been prepared from the corresponding anthracenes. Most of them were separated into enantiomers by chromatography on cellulose triacetate (CTA) and their absolute chiralities established by chiroptical comparison (via their CD spectra) with key compounds of known configuration. From the laevorotatory 1,5-dibromo derivative16 the dextrorotatory dideuterio hydrocarbon (+)(9S, 10S)-20 was obtained.Complexation of 2,6-dimethyl 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene (+)-25, obtained by enantio-selective chromatography onCTA [with its chirality (9R, 10R) deduced from optical comparison with the 2-monomethyl derivative of known configuration], with Cr(CO)₆ afforded two mono tricarbonyl-chromium complexes [endo(+)-26 andexo(+)-27] as well as the bis-exo,endo-complex (+)-28. Configurational assignments (exo, endo) are based on the absorption patterns of the bridge protons in the¹H-NMR spectra.On leave from Research Institute of Chemical Processing and Utilization of Forest Products, Nanking, P.R. China. mit Cr(CO)₆ lieferte zwei Mono-tricarbonylchrom-Komplexe [endo(+)-26 undexo(+)-27] neben dem Bis-exo,endo-Komplex (+)-28. Die konfigurative Zuordnung (exo,endo) war aufgrund der Absorptionen der Brücken-H-Atome in den¹H-NMR-Spektren möglich.     

Solvolysen von 4-Alkylidenbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-olen. Synthese von 1-Vinylfulvenen und 8,8-Diphenylheptafulven

Solvolysis of 4-Alkydenbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-oles. Synthesis of 1-Vinylfulvenes and 8,8-Diphenylheptafulvene Four 4-alkylidenebicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-ones 2–5 , obtained via ketene cycloaddition to fulvenes, were reduced to separated mixtures of the ‘endo’ -alcohols ‘endo’- 6 to ‘endo’- 9 (68–73%) and ‘exo’- 6 to ‘exo’- 9 (3–20%). Treatment of some of these alcohols with (CF₃SO₂)₂O in CH₂Cl₂/pyridine caused a spontaneous solvolysis to yield unsaturated 7-membered rings as pyridinium triflates 10–12 or 1-vinylfulvenes 13 and 14 , a new class of reactive tetraenes: Both ‘endo’- 9 and ‘exo’- 9 , having two methyl groups at C(7), were converted into the vinylfulvene 13 (≈ 80%). The alcohols with two H-atoms at C(7) exhibited a stereochemically controlled reaction selectivity, inasmuch as ‘endo’- 6 to ‘endo’- 8 afforded only the corresponding 7-membered-ring pyridinium salts 10–12 (66–79%), while ‘exo’- 6 produced only the vinylfulvene 14 (77%). A stereoelectronic control argument explains the C(1), C(5)-bond cleavage with ‘endo’- B and ‘endo’– 6 -‘endo’- 8 , as well as the C(1), C(7)-bond cleavage with ‘exo’- B , ‘exo’- 6 , and with both ‘endo’- and ‘exo’- 9 . Thermolysis (120°) of the pyridinium triflates 10 and 11 yielded the 3-isopropenyl-cycloheptatrienes 18 and 19 , respectively (≈90%); similar conditions (145°) applied to the triflate 12 produced the doubly cyclized fluorene derivative 21 (60%). When the iodide 22 derived from the triflate 12 with Nal was heated in refluxing toluene, 8,8-diphenylheptafulvene ( 23 , 86%) was obtained.     

Reaktionen mit phosphororganischen Verbindungen, 49. Synthese und 1H-NMR-Spektren von (3-Acylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)phosphonsäureestern

Reactions with Organophosphorus Compounds, 49. Synthesis and ¹H NMR Spectra of (3-Acylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)phosphonates Reaction of the (E)-(β-acylvinyl)phosphonates 1 with cyclopentadiene yields the isomeric norbornylphosphonates 2 (endo-acyl, exo-P) and 3 (exo-acyl, endo-P) in a 7:3 ratio. With 1,3-cyclohexadiene the corresponding bicyclooctenyl derivatives 7 and 8 are obtained from 1a . The (Z)-phosphinylacrylate 4 gives with cyclopentadiene the isomers 5 (exo-CO₂Me, exo-P) and 6 (endo-CO₂Me, endo-P) in nearly equal amounts. The configuration of the cycloadducts has been proved by ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Quantitative <Superscript>2</Superscript>H NMR spectroscopy

The selectivity of deuterium distribution between the nonequivalent positions in 3-carene (1), 4-α-acetyl-2-carene (2), and 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-carene (3) has been measured by ²H-{¹H} NMR spectroscopy at the natural abundance of deuterium. These “H/D-isotope portraits” were shown to be typical of terpenes and terpenoids produced in plants via the biosynthetic DXP pathway. The mechanism of acylation of 1 was studied by the density functional theory method (PBE functional, TZ2p basis set). The six-membered ring in compound 1 is planar. However, the endo attack of electrophiles on this ring is more favorable both kinetically and thermodynamically. It was shown both experimentally and theoretically that the elimination of a hydrogen atom in the second reaction step proceeds stereoselectively at the C(2) atom from the anti position with respect to the three-membered ring and occurs with pronounced nucleophilic assistance from the carbonyl group.

Formation of antiferromagnetic thiolate-bridged and sulfide-bridged complexes

Reactions of Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)₂S (1) with rhenium complexes (CO)(NO)Re(PR₃)₂X₂ [R=Et, X=Cl (7a); R=Et, X=O₃SCF₃ (7b); R=OMe, X=O₃SCF₃ (7c)] containing strongly bound phosphine ligands and with Pd(PPrⁱ ₃)₂Cl₂ (8) containing bulky P donors were studied. The reaction between compounds1 and7a does not occur in various solvents within a temperature range of 22–80 °C. Interaction of1 with triflat derivatives7b and7c yields the paramagnetic tetrahedral homonuclear cationic cluster Cp₄Cr₄S₄ ⁺O₃SCF₃ ⁻ (10) and the binuclear methylated complex Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)₂(SMe)⁺O₃SCF₃ ⁻ (11), respectively. The reaction of compound1 with8 affords the antiferromagnetic heteronuclear cluster Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)S₂PdCl(PPrⁱ ₃) (12). The structure of the core of12 is analogous to the structures of the rhodium-containing complexes Cp₂Cr₂(μ-SCMe₃)(μ₃-S)₂RhL₂. Although compound8 reacts with Fe₃S₂(CO)₉ (5), the major products are the homometallic trinuclear clusters Fe₃S₂(CO)₈(PPrⁱ ₃) (14) (as a mixture of isomers) and Fe₃S₂(CO)₇(PPrⁱ ₃)₂ (15), whereas the heteronuclear complex (CO)₆Fe₂S₂Pd(PPrⁱ ₃)₂ (16) was found only in trace amounts. The reasons for the difference in the reactivities of the rhenium and palladium derivatives toward compounds1 and5 are discussed. The structures of complexes10 (two crystal modifications),11, 12, 15, and16 were established by X-ray structural analysis of the single crystals. For Part 4, see I. L. Eremenko, S. E. Nefedov, H. Berke, B. I. Kolobkov, and V. M. Novotortsev,Organometallics, 1995,14, 1132. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 141–152, January, 1997.
