Synthesis,characterization and crystal structure of a novel three-dimensional supramolecular architecture formed by manganese(II) and pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid

A novel three-dimensional supramolecular compound formed by Mn(II) and pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid of formula [Mn(Pydc)₂(H₂O)₂] (Pydc?=?pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectra, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction techniques. The X-ray structure shows that the central Mn(II) ion is coordinated by two water molecules and two chelated Pydc ligands. Water molecules coordinate with Mn(II) ions in the cis mode. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds play an important role in stabilization of the lattice and construction of the supramolecular network.     

Synthesis and reactivity of 5-and 6-hydroxy-benzo[b]furan-2-selenolates

Treatment of 2,4-and 2,5-diacetoxyacetophenone semicarbazones with selenium dioxide gave 4-(2,4-and 2,5-diacetoxyphenyl)-1,2,3-selenadiazoles which were readily deacylated by the action of hydrochloric acid. 4-(2,4-and 2,5-Dihydroxyphenyl)-1,2,3-selenadiazoles thus obtained underwent decomposition in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetonitrile with formation of 5-and 6-hydroxybenzo[b]furan-2-selenolates which were subjected to alkylation.     

The Effect of Hydroxyl Groups on Solubilization of Pyridine Derivatives in Span 80–Water–<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Decane Reverse Micelles

Computer simulation of pyridine, pyridine-2-ol, and pyridine-2,5-diol solubilization by Span 80–water reverse micelles in n-decane has been performed. All solubilized compounds are polar (their polarity increases in a series pyridine, pyridine-2,5-diol, and pyridine-2-ol) and have different numbers of donors/acceptors forming hydrogen bonds. The most probable positions of pyridine molecules relative to a reverse micelle change fundamentally with a rise in the number of hydroxyl groups in their structure. Pyridine, pyridine-2-ol, and pyridine-2,5-diol are located in the nonpolar medium, on the micelle surface between the head groups of surfactant molecules, and on the inside surface of the aqueous core, respectively. Thus, the number and arrangement of hydrophilic groups in the structure of a molecule, rather than its polarity, have the strongest effect on the ability to solubilization in the reverse micelles.     

Multi-component condensation of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1H-pyridin-2-one with carbonyl compounds and Meldrum’s acid

A convenient method for the synthesis of earlier unknown substituted derivatives of 4-aryl-7-methyl-4,6-dihydro-3H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridine-2,5-dione and ethyl 3-(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)-3-arylpropionate was developed based on the multi-component condensation of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1H-pyridin-2-one, Meldrum’s acid, and carbonyl compounds.     

Synthesis and properties of 2,5-bis(furan-2-yl)-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole

2,5-Bis(furan-2-yl)-1H-imidazole was synthesized by the Weidenhagen reaction of [2-(furan-2-yl)-2-oxoethyl]acetate with furfural. Alkylation of the title compound with methyl iodide in acetone in the presence of potassium hydroxide gave a mixture of isomeric N-methyl derivatives, 2,5-bis(furan-2-yl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole being the major one. Electrophilic substitution reactions of the latter (nitration, bromination, sulfonation, hydroxymethylation, and acylation) were studied.     

Alkylation of pyridine-3,5-dicarboxamide and pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitriles by radical substitution

Structural modification of NAD(P) model compounds, N,N,N',N'-tetramethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxamide ( 1 ), pyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile ( 2 ), and 4-methylpyridine-3,5-dicarbonitrile ( 3 ), have been explored by the reaction with alkyl radicals such as the 1-adamantyl, tert-butyl, and isopropyl radicals. The alkyl substitutions of compounds 1 , 2 , and 3 with the 1-adamantyl and the tert-butyl radical gave both 2-mono and 2,6-disubstitution products, whereas the reaction of compound 2 with the isopropyl radical gave 2-mono 6c , 2,4-di 7c, 2,6-di 8c , and 2,4,6-trisubstitution 9c products.     

Cyclization of vicinally substituted heterocyclic analogs of 3,4-bis(indol-1-yl)maleimide under the action of protic acids: a quantum chemical study

B3LYP/6-31G(d) density functional quantum chemical calculations of vicinally substituted bis(indol-1-yl)derivatives of 1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one, furan-2,5-dione, cyclopent-4-ene-1,3-dione, cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione, and pyrrolidine-2,5-dione were carried out to study the effect of modification of the maleimide moiety in 3,4-bis(indol-1-yl)maleimides on the direction of intramolecular cyclization under the action of protic acids. Geometric parameters, charge distributions, energy characteristics, and frontier orbital energies of these compounds and the corresponding indoleninium cations were determined. Alternative protonation routes of 3,4-bis(indol-1-yl)-1,5-dihydropyrrol-2-one have been studied. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Novel Synthesis of 2-(2-(3-Hydroxy-5-oxo-4-phenylthiophen-2(5H)-ylidene)-2-phenylacetamido)propanoic Acid Analogues and Their Anti-Inflammatory Properties

This article describes the reaction of 3,6-diphenyl-thieno[3,2-b]furan-2,5-dione 1 with different amino acids 2a–j in glacial acetic acid which afforded the 2-(2-(3-hydroxy-5-oxo-4-phenylthiophen-2(5H)-ylidene)-2-phenylacetamido)propanoic acid analogues 3a–j and also describes the reaction of 3,6-diphenyl-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-2,5-dione 4 with different amino acids 5a–e in acidic medium to give 2-(2-(3-mercapto-5-oxo-4-phenylthiophen-2(5H)-ylidene)-2-phenylacetamido)propanoic acid analogues 6a–e. All the compounds have been screened for their anti-inflammatory activity against the carrageenan induced rat paw edema in albino rats. In the primary screening, some of the compounds exhibited appreciable activity.

Selective Oxidation of 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural to Furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde with Sodium Nitrite in Phosphoric Acid

5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural is readily oxidized to furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde with sodium nitrite in phosphoric acid at room temperature (25°C). The best selectivity for furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde is achieved using 2.5 equiv of sodium nitrite with respect to the substrate. In this case, nearly quantitative yield of furan- 2,5-dicarbaldehyde is attained in 1 h, the substrate conversion being complete. Due to high selectivity in combination with low cost and toxicity of phosphoric acid, the system NaNO₂–H₃PO₄ is more convenient than NaNO₂–CF₃COOH for the preparative synthesis of furan-2,5-dicarbaldehyde.     

Novel asymmetric dihetarylethenes derived from N-isopropylindole and thiophene: synthesis and photochromic properties

Novel asymmetric dihetarylethenes, viz., 3-(1-isopropyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-4-(3-thienyl)furan-2,5-dione and 1-alkyl/aryl-3-(1-isopropyl-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-4-(3-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diones, were obtained. These dihetarylethenes exhibit photochromism in solutions. Replacement of the N-methyl group in the indole fragment by the N-isopropyl group imparts photochromic properties to the resulting furan-2,5-dione derivative. The open forms of (N-isopropylindol-3-yl)pyrrole-2,5-diones are characterized by lower quantum yields of fluorescence, and their cyclic forms are thermally more stable.

Photochromic fluorescent indol-3-yl-substituted maleimides

New hetarylethenes, 3-(indol-3-yl)-4-thienyl(but-1-en-1-yl)-substituted pyrrole-2,5-diones containing coumarin or fluorene substituents on the pyrrole nitrogen atom, were synthesized by reactions of furan-2,5-diones with 9H-fluoren-2-amine and 6-amino-2H-chromen-2-one. Acyclic maleimide isomers showed fluorescence with quantum yields of 0.002 to 0.072. Their irradiation with UV light generates non-fluorescing cyclic isomer. The reverse ring opening occurs in the excited state.     

Synthesis, structural characterization, and magnetic studies of polynuclear iron complexes with a new disubstituted pyridine ligand

A series of novel polyiron species have been prepared from the reaction of iron chloride with the 2,5-disubstituted pyridines H2L(n) (H2L1) = N,N'-bis(n-butylcarbamoyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide; H2L2 = N,N'-bis(n-ethylcarbamoyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide). By small modifications of the experimental conditions under which the reactions are carried out, it has been possible to prepare the quadruply stranded diiron(II) complex [Fe2(mu-H2L1)4(mu-Cl)2][FeCl4]2 (1), the metallamacrocycle [Fe2(mu-H2L1)2(THF)4Cl2][FeCl4]2 (2), the hexairon(III) compound [Fe6(L1)2(mu-OMe)6(mu4-O)2Cl4] (3), and the mixed-valence trinuclear iron complexes [Fe3(L(n))3(mu3-O)] (n = 1, 4; n = 2, 5). The X-ray crystal structures of 3 and 5 and magnetic studies for all the compounds are herein presented. Interestingly, the structural analysis of 5 at room temperature indicates that one of the iron centers is Fe(III) while the other two have an average valence state between Fe(II) and Fe(III). The five complexes herein presented demonstrate the great versatility that the new ligand has as a building block for the formation of supramolecular coordination assemblies.     

Reaction of 2-(phenylamino)benzoic and 2-(phenylamino)- and 2-methyl-6-phenylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid hydrazides with succininc anhydride

Reactions of 2-(phenylamino)benzoic and 2-(phenylamino)- and 2-methyl-6-phenylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid hydrazides with succinic anhydride in organic solvents at room temperature gave the corresponding 4-(2-aroylhydrazinyl)-4-oxobutanoic acids. The reactions in boiling acetic acid afforded N-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzamide or N-(2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)pyridine-3-carboxamide.     

Cobalt-lanthanide coordination polymers constructed with metalloligands: a ferromagnetic coupled quasi-1D Dy3+ chain showing slow relaxation

Four types of cobalt-lanthanide heterometallic compounds based on metalloligand Co(2,5-pydc)(3) (3-) (2,5-H(2)pydc=pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate acid), [Ln(2)Co(2)(2,5-pydc)(6)(H(2)O)(4)](n) 2n H(2)O (1) (Ln=Tb, Dy for 1 a, 1 b respectively), [Tb(2)Co(2)(2,5-pydc)(6)(H(2)O)(4)](n)3n H(2)O (2), [Tb(2)Co(2)(2,5-pydc)(6)(H(2)O)(9)](n)4n H(2)O (3), and [LaCo(2,5-pydc)(3)(H(2)O)(2)](n)2n H(2)O (4) have been synthesized. Compound 1 has a layer structure with well-isolated carboxylate-bridged Ln(3+) chains, compound 2 is a three-dimensional (3D) porous network with Tb(3+) chains that are also well isolated and carboxylate bridged, 3 is a layer structure based on dinuclear units, and 4 is a 3D network with boron nitride (BN) topology. DC magnetic studies reveal ferromagnetic coupling in all the carboxylate-bridged Ln(3+) chains in 1 a, 1 b, and 2. Compared to the silence of the out-of-phase ac susceptibility of 2, above 1.9 K the magnetic relaxation behavior of both 1 a and 1 b is slow like that of a single-chain magnet.     

A new [2 + 1] mixed ligand concept based on [99(m)Tc(OH2)3(CO)3]+: a basic study

Mixed ligand fac-tricarbonyl complexes of the general formula [M(L1)(L2)(CO)3](M = Re, 99(m)Tc, L1= imidazole, benzyl isocyanide, L2 = 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid, pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) have been prepared starting from the precursors [M(OH2)3(CO)3]+. The complexes can be obtained in good yield and purity in a two-step procedure by first attaching the bidentate ligand followed by addition of the monodentate. 99mTc compounds can also be prepared at the tracer level in one-pot procedures with L1 and L2 being concomitantly present. This [2 + 1] approach allows the labeling of bioactive molecules containing a monodentate or a bidentate donor site. Examples given in here are N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl-N-(3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl)phenylalaninamide, 5-((3-(imidazol-1-yl)propyl)aminomethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine and 4-(5-isonitrilpentyl)-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazine as L1 and N-((6-carboxypyridine-3-yl)methyl)glycylphenylalanine as L2. The corresponding second ligand can be used to influence the physico-chemical properties of the conjugate. The crystal structures of [99Tc(OH2)(imc)(CO)3], [Re(OH2)(2,4-dipic)(CO)3], [Re(bic)(2,4-dipic)(CO)3] and [Re(im)(2,5-dipic)(CO)3] are reported.     

Supramolecular liquid crystals containing isoquinoline hydrogen-bonded acceptors

6-Dodecyloxyisoquinoline IS ( 1 ) has been synthesized and utilized as a proton acceptor to generate a series of novel mesogenic supramolecules. Two mesogenic supramolecular dimers IS-OBA and IS-COOBA have been constructed from a 1:1 molar ratio of IS complexed either with 4-decyloxybenzoic acid OBA ( 2 ) or with 4-decyloxycarbonylbenzoic acid COOBA ( 3 ). A kinked mesogenic supramolecular trimer, i.e. a double H-bonded complex (IS)-THDA, has been constructed from a 2:1 molar ratio of IS complexed with 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid THDA ( 4 ). The mesogenic properties of the H-bonded complex (IS2)-THDA are compared with those of previously reported H-bonded complexes (C12PS)-THDA and (C12PP2)-THDA consisting of a 2:1 molar ratio of trans -4-dodecyloxy-4-stilbazole C12PS 2 ( 5 ) or 4-dodecyloxypyridine C12PP2 (6 ) with THDA. Significantly, the first isoquinoline-based supramolecular liquid crystals have been built, and their mesogenic properties have been introduced or modified by fused- N -heterocyclic rings.     

X-ray diffraction investigation of perfluoro-4-methylenecyclohexa-2,5-dienones

Perfluorinated 8-phenyl-7,8-diethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,4,6-trien-3-one (3), 2-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)-1,1-diethylbenzocyclobutene (4) and 2-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)-5-(2-phenyl-cis-1,2-diethylbenzocyclobuten-1-yloxy)-1,1-diethylbenzocyclobutene (5), including the 4-methylencyclohexa-2,5-dienone fragment, were prepared by the reaction of perfluoro-1,1-(1) and-1,2-diethylbenzocyclobutene (2) with pentafluorobenzene in SbF₅. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study of compounds 3–5 revealed that the oxygen atom of the C=O group participated in the formation of supramolecular architectures in all three compounds, and C=O…π bonding may be considered as the corresponding synthon (with increased separation in the case of compound 5). C-F…π bonding acts as a second synthon. F…F interactions in crystals 3–5 were classified as stabilizing or enforced.     

Features of three-centered hydrogen bonding in di(vinylpyrrolyl)pyridine and di(vinylpyridyl)-pyrrole from the ab initio calculation data and QTAIM analysis

Within the calculation at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level and QTAIM analysis the structural investigation of 2,6-bis-[2-(1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-vinyl]-pyridine and 2,5-bis-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrole is performed. It is found that a symmetric three-centered hydrogen bond forms in the first molecule. The components of this bond are substantially weakened in comparison with the two-centered hydrogen bond in the Z-isomer of 2-[2-(1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-vinyl]-pyridine. This weakening is due to the steric interaction of two hydrogen bond donors. At the same time, more rigid steric conditions for the formation of a three-centered interaction in 2,5-bis-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrole results in actual dissociation of one of the components of the three-center hydrogen bond accompanied by the strengthening of the retained component. This provides the possibility of rocking vibrations of the hydrogen bond in the latter case due to the alternate entrance of hydrogen bond acceptors into the coordination sphere of the hydrogen atom.
