Huge (14-, 21-, 28-, 35-, 56- and 70-membered ring) macrocyclic lactams--a novel family of carbopeptoid-cyclodextrins

Hydrogenation of linear ω-azido-pentafluorophenyl esters gives cyclic peptides containing 14-, 21-, 28-, 35-, 56- and 70-membered ring lactams from oligomers derived from ε-amino acids in excellent to moderate yields with a lack of racemisation during the cyclisation step.     

Deformed phthalocyanines: synthesis and characterization of zinc phthalocyanines bearing phenyl substituents at the 1-, 4-, 8-, 11-, 15-, 18-, 22-, and/or 25-positions

The synthesis of a series of zinc phthalocyanines partially phenyl-substituted at the 1-, 4-, 8-, 11-, 15-, 18-, 22-, and/or 25-positions (the so-called alpha-positions) is reported. Macrocycle formation based on 3,6-diphenylphthalonitrile, o-phthalonitrile, and zinc acetate predominantly yielded the near-planar disubstituted complex and opposite tetrasubstituted isomer, while the lithium method yielded the sterically hindered hexasubstituted complex and adjacent tetrasubstituted isomer. All compounds have been characterized by 1H NMR, MALDI-TOF-MS, and elemental analysis methods. In addition, crystal structures have been solved for the di-, hexa-, and octasubstituted complexes and the adjacent tetrasubstituted isomer. DFT geometry optimization calculations predict more highly deformed structures than those observed in the crystals. The packing force of the crystals cannot therefore be ignored, particularly for the less phenyl-substituted derivatives. The crystal structures have revealed that overlap of the phenyl groups causes substantial deformation of the phthalocyanine (Pc) ligands within the crystals, while strong pi-pi stacking in the remainder of the Pc moiety lacking phenyl substituents can suppress the impact of the deformation. Absorption spectra show sizable red shifts of the Q-band with increasing number of phenyl groups. Analysis of the results of absorption spectra and electrochemical measurements reveals that a substantial portion of the red shift is attributable to the ring deformations. Molecular orbital calculations lend further support to this conclusion. A moderately intense absorption band emerging at around 430 nm for highly deformed octaphenyl-substituted zinc Pc can be assigned to the HOMO-->LUMO+3 transition, which is parity-forbidden for planar Pcs, but becomes allowed since the ring deformations remove the center of symmetry.

Metal-free inorganic ligands for colloidal nanocrystals: S2-, HS-, Se2-, HSe-, Te2-, HTe-, TeS3(2-), OH-, and NH2- as surface ligands

All-inorganic colloidal nanocrystals were synthesized by replacing organic capping ligands on chemically synthesized nanocrystals with metal-free inorganic ions such as S(2-), HS(-), Se(2-), HSe(-), Te(2-), HTe(-), TeS(3)(2-), OH(-) and NH(2)(-). These simple ligands adhered to the NC surface and provided colloidal stability in polar solvents. The versatility of such ligand exchange has been demonstrated for various semiconductor and metal nanocrystals of different size and shape. We showed that the key aspects of Pearson's hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) principle, originally developed for metal coordination compounds, can be applied to the bonding of molecular species to the nanocrystal surface. The use of small inorganic ligands instead of traditional ligands with long hydrocarbon tails facilitated the charge transport between individual nanocrystals and opened up interesting opportunities for device integration of colloidal nanostructures.     

A convenient new route to piperidines, pyrrolizidines, indolizidines, and quinolizidines by cyclization of acetylenic sulfones with beta and gamma-chloroamines. Enantioselective total synthesis of indolizidines (-)-167B, (-)-209D, (-)-209B, and (-)-207A

The methyl esters of (L)-phenylalanine and (L)-methionine underwent conjugate additions via their free amino groups to 1-(p-toluenesulfonyl)hexyne, followed by intramolecular acylation of the corresponding enamide anions and tautomerization to afford 2-benzyl-5-n-butyl-3-hydroxy-4-(p-toluenesulfonyl)pyrrole and 5-n-butyl-3-hydroxy-2-(2-methylthioethyl)-4-(p-toluenesulfonyl)pyr role, respectively. The conjugate additions of a series of acyclic and cyclic secondary beta- and gamma-chloroamines to acetylenic sulfones proceeded similarly under mild conditions. The resulting adducts were deprotonated with LDA in THF at -78 degrees C, and the resulting sulfone-stabilized carbanions underwent intramolecular alkylation to afford cyclic enamine sulfones. Thus, acyclic gamma-chloroalkyl-benzylamines afforded the corresponding 2- or 2,6-disubstituted piperidines, while 2-(chloromethyl)pyrrolidines, 2-(2-chloroethyl)pyrrolidines, 2-(chloromethyl)piperidines, and 2-(2-chloroethyl)piperidines produced the corresponding 3-substituted pyrrolizidines, 5- or 3-substituted indolizidines, and 4-substituted quinolizidines, respectively. 8-Methyl-5-substituted indolizidines were also prepared from the appropriate methyl-substituted chloroamine precursor. Enantioselective syntheses were achieved by employing chiral chloroamines derived from amino acids or other enantiopure precursors. Further transformations of several of the products provided concise syntheses of four dendrobatid alkaloids. Thus, reduction of (8aS)-5-n-propyl-6-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-delta5,6-indolizidine with sodium cyanoborohydride in trifluoroacetic acid, followed by reductive desulfonylation, afforded (-)-indolizidine 167B. The corresponding 5-n-hexyl derivative similarly produced (-)-indolizidine 209D, while (-)-(8R, 8aS)-8-methyl-5-n-pentyl-6-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-delta5,6-indo lizidine furnished (-)-indolizidine 209B. Finally, the similar reduction and debenzylation of (-)-(8R,8aS)-5-(2-benzyloxyethyl)-8-methyl-6-(p-toluenesulfo nyl)-delta5,6-indolizidine produced the corresponding 5-hydroxyethyl indolizidine. This was subjected to chlorination of the alcohol group with thionyl chloride and substitution with a higher order allyl cuprate reagent to afford (-)-indolizidine 207A.

1-(2-Quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-Di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, 1-(2-Carboxyphenyl)-, and 1-Ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles

The corresponding 1-(2-quinoxalyl)-, 1-[3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, and 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles have been obtained from reactions of 2-acetyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, its 5,5-dimethyl and 5-(2-furyl) derivatives, with 2-hydrazinoquinoxaline, 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenylhydrazine, and ethoxycarbonylhydrazine. On interaction with ethoxycarbonylhydrazine the intermediate 2-[1-(-ethoxycarbonyl)hydrazino]ethylidene-1,3-cyclohexanediones were also isolated. From the potassium salt of 2-formyldimedone and 2-carboxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride, 2-(2-carboxyphenyl)hydrazinomethylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione was obtained, the cyclization of which in ethanol in the presence of HCl led to 1-(2-carboxyphenyl)- and 1-(2-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazole.

Evidence of steric factors in the fungitoxic mechanisms of 8-quinolinol and its 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-and 7-chloro and bromo analogues

Summary A study was made of the fungitoxicity of 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-chloro and bromo-8-quinolinols againstAspergillus niger,A. oryzae,Myrothecium verrucaria,Trichoderma viride andTrichophyton mentagrophytes in Sabouraud dextrose broth and in Yeast Nitrogen Base supplemented with 1%D-glucose and 0.088%L-asparagine. Based on the presence or absence of synergism between pairs of substituted 8-quinolinols and reversal or nonreversal of toxicity byL-cysteine or N-acetyl-L-cysteine, the following conclusions were reached: (1) substituents on the quinoline ring change the site(s) of action of the toxicant; (2) the sites of action of the 5-, 6-, and 7-chloro-8-quinolinols are different from each other and from 8-quinolinol and its 2-, 3-, and 4-chloro analogues, and the same is true for the corresponding bromo compounds; (3) 8-quinolinol and its 3- and 4-chloro and bromo analogues appear to share common sites of action; (4) for good antifungal activity the 2 position of the ring must not be substituted by sterically bulky groups; (5) the geometry of the binding sites of action are not so constrained that they cannot accommodate the analogously substituted chloro- and bromo-8-quinolinols.
