Synthesis and insecticidal evaluation of novel N‐oxalyl derivatives of diacylhydrazines containing methylcarbamate moieties

A series of new N‐oxalyl derivatives of diacylhydrazines containing methylcarbamate moieties were synthesized by the reaction of N‐oxalyl chloride of N‐methylcarbmates with N‐tert‐butyl‐N,N′‐diacylhydrazines in the presence of sodium hydride. The reaction of oxalyl chloride with N‐tert‐butyl‐N, N′‐diacylhydrazines to yield 1,3,4‐oxadiazole and 4‐tert‐butyl‐2‐substituted‐phenyl‐4H‐1,3,4‐oxadiazine‐5,6‐dione was found, and the reaction was studied in some detail. The title compounds were evaluated for molting hormone mimicking activity. The results of bioassay showed that the title compounds exhibit moderate larvicidal activities, and toxicity assays indicated that these compounds can induce a premature, abnormal, and lethal larval molt. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chlorido[N,N′‐dibenzyl‐N′′‐(trichloroacetyl)phosphoramidato‐κ2O,O′](1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)copper(II)

In the title complex, [Cu(C₁₆H₁₆Cl₃N₃O₂P)Cl(C₁₂H₈N₂)], the Cu^II cation presents a square‐pyramidal environment, where the CuO₂N₂ base is formed by two O atoms from carbonyl and phosphoryl groups, and by two N atoms from a 1,10‐phenanthroline molecule. A coordinated Cl atom occupies the apex. N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into one‐dimensional chains. The trichloromethyl group is rotationally disordered over two positions, with occupancies of 0.747 (7) and 0.253 (7).     

Hydrogen‐bonding network of N,N′‐bis[2‐(tert‐butyldimethylsiloxy)ethyl]ethylenediammonium dichloride

The title salt, C₁₈H₄₆N₂O₂Si₂²⁺·2Cl⁻, has been synthesized by reaction of N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine with tert‐butyldimethylsilyl chloride. The zigzag backbone dication is located across an inversion centre and the two chloride anions are related by inversion symmetry. The ionic components form a supramolecular two‐dimensional network via N—H...Cl hydrogen bonding, which is responsible for the high melting point compared with the oily compound N,N′‐bis[2‐(tert‐butyldimethylsiloxy)ethyl]ethylenediamine.     

Synthesis and biological activity of novel N‐benzoyl‐N‐tert‐butyl‐N′‐(β‐triphenylgermyl)propionylhydrazines

A series of new N‐benzoyl‐N‐tert‐butyl‐N′‐(β‐triphenylgermyl)propionylhydrazines were synthesized by the condensation reaction of β‐triphenylgermyl propanoic acid with N‐benzoyl‐N‐tert‐butylhydrazines in good yields by using N,N′‐dicyclohexylcorbodiimide as dehydrating agent. These title compounds were evaluated for molting hormone mimicking activity. The results of bioassay showed that the compounds exhibit moderate larvicidal activity, and toxicity assays indicated that the title compounds can induce a premature, abnormal and lethal larval molt. We found that the title compounds possess potential anticancer activities in vitro. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Oxazoles formation during O‐alkylation of isonitroso‐naphthols. X‐ray structure of [1,2]naphthoquinone 1‐[O‐(4‐tert‐butyl‐benzyl)‐oxime] and 2‐(4‐tert‐butyl‐phenyl)napth[1,2‐d]oxazole

1‐Nitroso‐2‐naphthol and 2‐nitroso‐1‐naphthol, both in the isonitroso form, react with benzyl bromides in THF and in the presence of triethylamine affording, in low yields, the corresponding O‐benzyl oximes and 2‐aryl naphthoxazoles in a 1:1 ratio, approximately. The structures of O‐benzyl oximes and naphthoxazoles isolated have been determined by X‐ray analysis.     

Synthesis and insecticidal activity of O‐aryl O‐(1,2,2,2‐tetrachloroethyl)phosphoramidothioates and their thiophosphoric hydrazides [1]

O‐Aryl O‐(1,2,2,2‐tetrachoroethyl)phos‐ phoramidothioates 3a–h and their thiophosphoric hydrazides 4a–e were synthesized by reactions of O‐aryl O‐(1,2,2,2‐tetrachoroethyl)thiophosphorochloridates 2 with amines and hydrazines, respectively. Their structures were characterized by elemental analysis IR ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, and MS. The O‐aryl O‐(1,2,2,2‐tetrachloroethyl)thiophosphoric hydrazides 4a–d (R²=H) can be transformed into 1,3,4,2‐oxadiazaphospholanes 5a–d by the reaction of triethylamine. The results of preliminary bioassays indicated that some of the title compounds have good insecticidal activities against nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) and pea aphids. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

μ‐{N,N′‐Bis[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamidato(2–)}‐1κ2O,O′:2κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′‐bis­(4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐1κ2N,N′)dinickel(II) bis­(perchlorate)

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni₂(C₁₀H₂₀N₄O₂)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂](ClO₄)₂ or [Ni(dmaeoxd)Ni(dmbp)₂](ClO₄)₂ {H₂dmaeoxd is N,N′‐bis­[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamide and dmbp is 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine}, the deprotonated dmaeoxd²⁻ ligand is in a cis conformation and bridges two Ni^II atoms, one of which is located in a slightly distorted square‐planar environment, while the other is in an irregular octa­hedral environment. The cation is located on a twofold symmetry axis running through both Ni atoms. The dmaeoxd²⁻ ligands inter­act with each other via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions, which results in an extended chain along the c axis.     

Synthesis and biological activity of novel N‐tert‐butyl‐N,N′‐substitutedbenzoylhydrazines containing 2‐methyl‐3‐(triphenylgermanyl)propoxycarbonyl

In a search for new insect growth regulators with unusual biological properties and different activity spectrum, we thought that the preservation of the bioactive unit and the introduction of 2‐methyl‐3‐(triphenylgermanyl)propoxycarbonyl in N‐tert‐butyl‐N,N′‐dibenzoylhydrazine would enhance their larvicidal activities to a significant degree. Therefore, we designed and synthesized N′‐tert‐butyl‐N′‐[2‐methyl‐3‐(triphenylgermanyl)propoxycarbonyl]‐N‐benzoylhydrazine and analogs by two procedures. These novel compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, and ¹H NMR. At the same time, N‐tert‐butyl‐N‐substitutedbenzoylhydrazines were prepared by a new method, and some reactions involved were studied. The preliminary results indicate that some compounds have inhibitory effects against plant pathogenetic bacteria such as early blight of tomato. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

N,N,N′,N′‐Tetrabromobenzene‐1,3‐disulfonamide Catalyzed Synthesis of New Spiro[chroman‐3,2′‐chromeno[2,3‐b]furan]‐2,4,4′‐(3′H)‐trione Derivatives

An efficient approach for one‐pot synthesis of biologically active new spiro[chroman‐3,2′‐chromeno[2,3‐b ]furan]‐2,4,4′‐(3′H )‐trione derivatives from tandem Knoevenagel–Michel addition–heterocyclization reaction between 4‐hydroxycumarin and various aldehydes in the presence of N,N,N ′,N ′‐tetrabromobenzene‐1,3‐disulfonamide as an efficient catalyst at ambient temperature under solvent‐free conditions was reported. Simple procedure, high yields, easy work‐up, and reusability of the catalyst are the significant advantages of this process.     

{μ‐N,N′‐Bis[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl]oxamidato(2–)‐κ6N,N′,O′:N′′,N′′′,O}bis[(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)copper(II)] bis(perchlorate)

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu₂(C₁₀H₂₀N₄O₂)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂](ClO₄)₂, the deprotonated dmaeoxd²⁻ ligand {H₂dmaeoxd is N,N′‐bis[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl]oxamide} occupies an inversion centre at the mid‐point of the central C—C bond and is thus in a trans conformation. The two Cu^II atoms are located in slightly distorted square‐based pyramidal environments. The binuclear units interact with each other viaπ–π interactions to form a one‐dimensional chain extending in the c direction.     

catena‐Poly[aquacopper(II)‐μ‐[N‐(1‐oxido‐2‐naphthylmethylene)glycinato‐O,N,O′:O′]]

In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₃H₉NO₃)(H₂O)]_n, the Cu^II ion is in a slightly distorted square‐pyramidal environment, with four short bonds in the basal plane formed by three donor atoms of the Schiff base and a water O atom. A symmetry‐related neighbouring mol­ecule provides an apical carboxylate O atom at a distance of 2.551 (3) Å; this contact leads to the formation of zigzag polymeric chains. In addition, the chain fragments are connected to each other by hydrogen bonding.     

Bis[N,N′‐(2‐chlorobenzylidene)ethylenediamine‐κ2N,N′]copper(I) dichloridocuprate(I) acetonitrile solvate

The 1:1 adduct of N,N′‐bis(2‐chlorobenzylidene)ethylenediamine (cb₂en) with copper(I) chloride proves to be an ionic compound with Cu^I‐centred cations and anions, [Cu(C₁₆H₁₄Cl₂N₂)₂][CuCl₂]·CH₃CN. In the cation, the Cu^I atom has a flattened tetrahedral coordination geometry, with a small bite angle for the chelating ligands, which form a double‐helical arrangement around the metal centre. The anion is almost linear, as expected. The packing of the cations involves intermolecular π–π interactions, which lead to columns of translationally related cations along the shortest unit‐cell axis, with anions and solvent molecules in channels between them.     

[P,P‐Di‐tert‐butyl‐N‐trimethylsilyl‐P‐(trimethylsilylamino)phosphine imidato‐κ2N,N′]bis(pyridine‐κN)lithium(I)

In the title compound, [Li(C₁₄H₃₆N₂PSi₂)(C₅H₅N)₂], the bulky chelating monoanionic P,P‐di‐tert‐butyl‐N‐trimethylsilyl‐P‐(trimethylsilylamino)phosphine imidate ligand and two pyridine ligands bind to Li in a pseudo‐tetrahedral arrangement with twofold symmetry. The Li—N_phosphine distance is 2.048 (5) Å, while the Li?P distance is 2.520 (6) Å.     

(Aqua‐2κO)bis(2,2′‐bipyridine‐1κ2N,N′){μ‐N‐[3‐(dimethylamino)propyl]‐N′‐(2‐oxidophenyl)oxamidato(3−)‐1:2κ2O,O′:κ4O′′,N,N′,N′′}copper(II)nickel(II) perchlorate

The title complex, [CuNi(C₁₃H₁₆N₃O₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]ClO₄, has a cis‐oxamide‐bridged heterobinuclear cation, with a Cu...Ni separation of 5.3297 (6) Å, counterbalanced by a disordered perchlorate anion. The Cu^II and Ni^II cations are located in square‐pyramidal and octahedral coordination environments, respectively. The complex molecules are assembled into a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure through hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. The influence of the two types of metal cation on the supramolecular structure is discussed.     

N,N,N′,N′,N″‐Pentamethyl‐N″‐[(trifluorosilyl)methyl] phosphoric triamide. First example of the existence of intramolecular PO→Si coordination bond in the Si‐containing phosphoric triamides

The N,N,N′,N′,N″‐pentamethyl‐N″‐(trifluorosilylmethyl)phosphoric triamide O?P(NMe₂)₂N(Me) CH₂SiF₃ with intramolecular P?O→Si coordination was formed by the reaction of N,N,N′,N′,N″‐pentamethyl‐N″[(triethoxysilyl)methyl]phosphoric triamide with BF₃·Et₂O.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Nucleoside‐5′‐O‐(1‐thiophosphates) and (SP)‐Adenosine‐5′‐O‐(1‐thiotriphosphate)

Treatment of adenosine with PSCl₃ in trimethyl phosphate gave, after ion‐exchange chromatography, adenosine‐5′‐O‐monophosphate (AMP; 28%) and adenosine‐5′‐O‐monothiophosphate (AMPS; 48%). AMPS was studied as a thiophosphate residue donor in an enzymatic transphosphorylation with nucleoside phosphotransferase (NPase) of the whole cells of Erwinia herbicola. As exemplified by a number of natural and sugar‐ and base‐modified nucleosides, it was demonstrated that NPase of the whole cells of Erwinia herbicola catalyzes the transfer of both thiophosphate and phosphate residues with a similar efficiency. An incubation of AMPS in a phosphorylating extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (K‐phosphate buffer (0.3 M , pH 7.0); 3% glucose; 15 mM MgCl₂; 28°, 8 h), followed by ion‐exchange column chromatography afforded AMP (8%), AMPS (recovered, 23%), ATP (11%), and (S_P)‐adenosine‐5′‐O‐(1‐thiotriphosphate) ((S_P)‐ATPαS); (total yield 37%; 48% based on the consumed AMPS). For comparison of physicochemical properties, adenosine was chemically transformed into ATPαS as a mixture of the (S_P) (53%) and (R_P) (44%) diastereoisomers.     

Thermolysis of N,N″‐1,ω‐alkanediyl‐bis[n′‐organylthiourea] derivatives

The course of microwave assisted or conventional thermal intramolecular heterocyclization of the title compounds has been found to be dependent on the length of the alkanediyl chain. While 1,3‐propanediyl‐bisthioureas 5a‐c gave both 2‐thioxoperhydropyrimidine‐1‐carbothioamides 8a‐c and 8‐amino‐3,4,5,6‐tetrahydro‐1,3,7‐thiadiazocine‐2‐thiones 10a‐c , thermolysis of 1,4‐butanediyl‐bisthioureas 6a‐c and 1,6‐hexanediyl‐bisthioureas 7a‐c under the same conditions gave solely 9‐amino‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1,3,8‐thiadiazonine‐2‐thiones 11a‐c and 11‐amino‐1‐thia‐3,10‐diazacycloundec‐10‐ene‐2‐thiones 12a‐c , respectively. Symmetric N,N′‐diorganylthioureas 4a‐c were formed in all cases as minor byproducts.     

[N,N′‐Bis(3‐aminopropyl)ethylenediamine‐κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′](trithiocyanurato‐κ2N,S)zinc(II) ethanol solvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [N,N′‐bis(3‐­amino­propyl)­ethyl­enedi­amine‐κ⁴N,N′,N′′,N′′′][1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐tri­thionato(2−)‐κ²N,S]­zinc(II) ethanol sol­vate, [Zn(C₈H₂₂N₄)₂(C₃HN₃S₃)]·C₂H₆O, the Zn^II atom is octa­hedrally coordinated by four N atoms [Zn—N = 2.104 (2)–2.203 (2) Å] of a tetradentate N‐donor N,N′‐bis(3‐­amino­propyl)­ethyl­enedi­amine (bapen) ligand and by two S and N atoms [Zn—S = 2.5700 (7) Å and Zn—N = 2.313 (2) Å] of a tri­thio­cyanurate(2−) (ttcH²⁻) dianion bonded as a bidentate ligand in a cis configuration. The crystal structure of the compound is stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds.     

Dichloro­[(1E,1′E)‐1,1′‐(pyridine‐2,6‐diyl)diethanone bis­(O‐methyl­oxime)‐κ3N1,N2,N6]copper(II)

In the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₁₁H₁₅N₃O₂)], the Cu^II ion is five‐coordinated in a strongly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal arrangement, with the two methyl­oxime N atoms located in the apical positions, and the pyridine N and the Cl atoms located in the basal plane. The two axial Cu—N distances are almost equal (mean 2.098 Å) and are substantially longer than the equatorial Cu—N bond [1.9757 (15) Å]. It is observed that the N(oxime)—M—N(pyridine) bond angle for five‐membered chelate rings of 2,6‐diacetyl­pyridine dioxime complexes is inversely related to the magnitude of the M—N(pyridine) bond. The structure is stabilized by intra‐ and inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds which involve the methyl H atoms, except for one of the two acetyl­methyl groups.     

{2,2′‐[(R,R)‐Cyclo­hexane‐1,2‐diyl­bis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]­bis[6‐tert‐butyl‐4‐(tri­phenyl­phosphonio­methyl)­phenol­ato]‐O,N,N′,O′}copper(II) dichloride hexakis­(deutero­chloro­form) solvate

The title compound, [Cu(C₆₆H₆₈N₂O₂P₂)]Cl₂·6CDCl₃, consists of complex cations, chloride ions and deutero­chloro­form solvate mol­ecules. The complex cation crystallizes in two different conformations. In both cases, Cu^II ions lie on twofold axes and the geometry around them is slightly distorted square planar. The dihedral angles between the N/Cu/N and O/Cu/O planes are 5.6 (9) and 3.9 (10)° for mol­ecules A and B, respectively.
