Studies on C-heterocyclic tin compounds. The synthesis and spectral characterization of some thienyl tetraorganotin(IV) compounds

The synthesis of a series of tetraorganotin(IV) compounds containing selectively the 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 5-methyl-2-thienyl, 5-t-butyl-2-thienyl, 4-methyl-2-thienyl and 3-(2-pyridyl)-2-thienyl groups [L], of formula R_4-nSn[L]_n (R = Ph, p-tolyl, Me, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl; n = 1–4) is reported. Features of structural interest deduced from ^119mSn Mössbauer and NMR (¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn modes) spectra are considered.     

The syntheses and NMR spectra of the twelve isomeric thieno[b]fused naphthyridines

Through the use of Pd(0)-catalyzed couplings between 2-(2-trimethylstannyl-3-pyridyl)-1,3-dioxolane, 3-trimethylstannyl-2-pyridine carboxaldehyde, 3-trimethylstannyl-4-pyridine carboxaldehyde and 4-trimethyl-stannyl-3-pyridine carboxaldehyde with t-butyl-N-(3-bromo-2-thienyl)carbamate, t-butyl-N-(2-bromo-3-thienyl)carbamate and t-butyl-N-(4-bromo-3-thienyl)carbamate in N,N-dimethylformamide at 100°, using cupric oxide as a coreagent, all twelve isomeric thieno[b]naphthyridines have been synthesized in an one-pot procedure. A detailed study of the ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra of these isomers has been undertaken.     

The synthesis of novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring systems. 2. Naphmo[2,1-b:4,3-g]bisbenzo[b]thiophene

The novel polycyclic heterocyclic ring system, naphtho[2,1-b:4,3-g]bisbenzo[b]thiophene was synthesized from 5-[2-(2-bromo-3-thienyl)ethenyl]naphtho[2,1-b][1]benzothiophene. The assignment of its ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra was also accomplished by utilizing two-dimensional nmr methods.     

Highly Stereoselective Photochemical Oxidative Addition Reactions. Preliminary Communication

Cyclometallated complexes of the type cis-bis(2-phenylpyridine)platinum(II) (C₂₂H₁₆N₂Pt) and cis-bis(2-(2′-thienyl)pyridine)platinum(II) (C₁₈H₁₂N₂S₂Pt) undergo thermal or photochemical oxidative addition (TOA or POA) reactions with a number of substrates. TOA (with CH₃I, CH₃CH₂I etc.) yield mixtures of several isomers which rearrange slowly (within ca. one week at room temperature) to one of the possible cis-isomers. CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₃, or (E)? ClCH?CHCl, e.g., do not react thermally. POA yield directly complexes of Pt(IV) with the halide and a σ-bonded C-atom in cis-position. The configuration, as assigned by extensive use of ¹H-NMR data, can be characterized for the two chelating ligands C …? N and C′ …? N′ by C,C′-cis; N,N′-cis and C(chelate), Cl-trans.     

Stereoselective Formation of Facial Tris-Cyclometalated PtIV Complexes: Dual Phosphorescence from Heteroleptic Derivatives

A stereoselective synthetic route to homo- and heteroleptic facial tris-cyclometalated Pt^IV complexes is reported, involving the oxidative addition of 2-(2-pyridyl)- or 2-(1-isoquinolinyl)benzenediazonium salts to cis-[Pt(C^N)₂] precursors, with C^N=cyclometalated 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine (tpy), 2-phenylquinoline (pq), 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine or 1-phenylisoquinoline (piq), to produce labile diazenide intermediates that undergo photochemical or thermal elimination of N₂. The method allows the preparation of derivatives bearing cyclometalated ligands of low π–π* transition energies. The new complexes exhibit phosphorescence in fluid solution at room temperature arising from triplet ligand-centered (³LC) excited states, which, in the cases of the heteroleptic derivatives, involve the ligand with the lowest π–π* gap. The heteroleptic piq derivatives exhibit fluorescence and dual phosphorescence from different ligand-centered excited states in rigid media, demonstrating the potential of cyclometalated Pt^IV complexes as multi-emissive materials.     

Cyclometalated Compounds of Platinum(II) with two different C,N-aromatic ligands

A synthetic route leading to bis-heteroleptic cyclometalated complexes is described. The complexes [2-(2′-thienyl)pyridinato-N, C-^3′]{2-[3′-(trimethylsilyl)2′-thienyl]pyridinato-N, C^3′}platinum(II) ([Pt(thpy) (TMS-thpy)]; I ) and (l-phenylpyrazolato-N², C^2′)[2-(2′-thienyl)pyridinato-N, C^3′]platinum ([Pt(Phpz)(thpy)]; II ) are characterized by UV/VIS, NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Thermal and photochemical oxidative addition reactions yield two out of the 10 possible pairs of enantiomers of octahedral Pt(IV) compounds.     

Heterocyclic fused tropylium ions VII. On the synthesis of 9H-dithieno[2,1 -b:4,5-c′]tropylium fluoborate and 4H-dithieno[1,2-b:4,5-c′]tropylium fluoborate

9H-Dithieno[2,1 -b:4,5-c′]tropylium ion (III) and 4ii-dithieno[1,2-b:4,5-c′]tropylium ion (IV) have been synthesized by ring-closure of 1-(4-carboxy-3-thienyl)-2-(3′-thienyl)ethane (IX) and 1-(4-carboxy-3-thienyl)-2-(2′-thienyl)ethane (XVI), respectively, followed by bromination-debrom-ination to 9H-cyclohepta[2,1-b:4,5-c′] dithiophen-9-one (XI) and 4H-cyclohepta[1,2-b:4,5-c′]-dithiophen-4-one (XVIII), and finally by reduction and hydride transfer. The tropylium ions III and IV were less stable than the [b,b′]-fused isomers previously studied.     

Saturated heterocycles. 254 . synthesis and stereochemistry of saturated or partially saturated pyridazino-[6,1-b]- and phthalazino[1,2-b]quinazolinones

By the reaction of anthranilic hydrazide 1 with cis-2-(p-methylbenzoyl)-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2a or diendo-3-(p-methylbenzoyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid 2b , fused tetra- and pentacyclic ring systems 3a, b were prepared, trans-2-Amino-1-cyclohexanecar-bohydrazide 4b was reacted with 3-(p-chlorobenzoyl)propionic acid 5 to yield the pyridazino[6,1-b]quinazolinone 6 . From the reaction of cis-2-amino-1-cyclohexanecarbohydrazide 4a with 2a , three isomeric partially saturated 8H-phthalazino[1,2-b]quinazolin-8-ones 7a-c were formed. The reaction of diexo-2-aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-3-carbohydrazide 4c and 2a furnished the pentacyclic derivatives 8 and 9 containing a 3-aryl-4,5-dihydropyridazine or 3-arylhexahydropyridazine ring C with cis annelated C/D rings. The formation of 8 and 9 involving different ring systems can be rationalized by two reaction pathways: (i) in the bislactam 9 the carboxyl group acylates the hydrazide, while (ii) in 8 it forms a pyridazine ring with the cyclic amino group by cyclocondensation. The structures of the products were elucidated by ¹H and ¹³C nmr methods, including DEPT, DNOE and 2D-HSC measurements.     

Electronic properties of thienylene vinylene oligomers: synthesis and theoretical study

(E)-1,2-bis(2-thienyl)vinylene (TV), (E)-1,2-bis(3-octyl-2-thienyl)vinylene (TOV), (E)-1,2-bis(3-(2-ethylhexyl)-2-thienyl)vinylene (T2EHV), and (E)-1,2-bis-[2,2??-bithienyl] vinylene (BTV) have been synthesized by a combination of formylation reaction and Mc Murry dimerization. UV?CVis spectra of BTV showed the longest wavelength absorption, TOV and T2EHV showed a bathochromic shift to the red compared with TV, due to an increment of delocalization of the conjugated ??-system as the result of the weakening of the carbon?Ccarbon double bonds of the thienyl rings due to the substitution of one hydrogen by the alkyl group. Based on optical data, the effect of linear and branched alkyl chain and extension of conjugation length on the electronic properties is discussed. ¹H, ¹³C-NMR, UV?CVisible, Fluorescence data are discussed and theoretical DFT and TD-DFT calculations of ground state and excited states have been also considered in the analysis and explanation of results.     

On the synthesis of 3(5)-carbomethoxy-4-hetarylpyrazoles

3(5)-Carbomethoxy-4-hetarylpyrazoles 3 can be obtained by the aromatization of the corresponding cis-3-benzamido-3-carbomethoxy-4-hetaryl-Δ¹-pyrazolines 2 obtained by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diazo-methane with methyl Z-2-benzamido-3-hetarylpropenoates 1. An explanation, based on FMO theory, for the different reactivity of the dipolarophiles with diazomethane is given.     

The synthesis and chemistry of some bis-aziridinylketones and their spectral study

The synthesis and spectral characteristics of certain bis(1-alkyl-3-phenyl-2-aziridinyl)ketones are reported. The reactions of 1,2,4,5-tetrabromo-1,5-diphenyl-3-pentanone ( 2 ) with primary amines are assumed to have a mechanism similar to that of a simple dibromo-ketone. The so-called cis, cis- or trans, trans-configurations of the bis-aziridinylketones were determined by ¹H and ¹³C nmr spectra.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (±)-indolizidines 167B and 209D and theirtrans-isomers based on the reductive allylboration of pyridine

A general method for the synthesis of 5-substituted indolizidines based on intramolecular cyclization oftrans- andcis-2-allyl-6-R-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines, obtained from pyridine and triallylborane, has been elaborated. The closure of the five-membered ring is carried out by hydroboration-oxidation followed by cyclization of the resulting δ-amino alcohols in the presence of the Ph₃P−CBr₄−Et₃N system. (Pr₂BH)₂ and Pr₃B are used as the hydroborating reagents, and H₂O₂ in an acid medium is used for the oxidation of 2-[3-(dipropylboryl]-Δ²-piperideines formed. This method has been used for the synthesis of two natural alkaloids: indolizidine 209D (cis-5-hexylindolizidine) and itstrans-isomer were prepared fromcis- andtrans-2-allyl-6-hexyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropiridine, respectively; indolizidine 167B andtrans-5-propylindolizidine were synthesized fromcis- andtrans-2,6-diallyl-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydropyridine, respectively.

cis-4-(Sulfomethyl)piperidine-2-carboxylic acid was obtained in 22% overall yield from 4-(hydroxymethyl)-pyridine via the o-silyl N-oxide and trimethylsilylcyanide. The cis configuration of 5 was unambiguously assigned by 200 MHz ¹H nmr and cosy experiments.     

The synthesis of thienocycloheptenoindoles

A synthesis of the methylthieno[3,2-c]cyclohepteno[b]indole 7 from 2-methylthieno[3,2-b]cycloheptanone 3 is described. Unsuccessful attempts to prepare the isomeric thienocycloheptenoindole system present in formula 2 , from the dihydrobenzothiophenone 8 , and from derivatives of 5-(2-thienyl)-4-oxopentanoic acid, 17 and 18 , and from N-benzylcycloheptindol-1-one 22 were unsuccessful. The preparation of 4,5-dihydro-2-phenyl-1-thienylmethyl-3H-pyridazin-3-one 20 and of the 5-aminopyrazole 21 are reported.     

Electron impact induced synthesis of benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b′]dithiophene

The photochemical behaviour of cis and trans 1,2-bis(2-bromo-3-thienyl)ethene has been separately studied with respect to cyclization to benzo[2,1-b:3,4-b′]dithiophene (BDT). The gc/ms analysis of the mother liquors of the two isomers photoreaction shows the opposite direction of isomerization followed by production of intractable materials resulting by the radical breaking of one of the two C-Br bonds on the thiophene moiety. On the contrary, in EI mass spectrometry both the isomers give rise to fragment ions at m/z 190 studied and compared to BDT with the aid of mass analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry and collisional spectroscopy.     

An Efficient synthesis of orthogonally protected trans‐ and cis‐4‐aminopipecolic acid

A straightforward synthesis of orthogonally N^α/N^γ‐protected trans‐ and cis‐4‐aminopipecolic acid is reported, starting from methyl cis‐4‐hydroxypiperidine‐2‐carboxylate. The two diastereomers were synthesized with the aid of C‐4 inversion (the trans isomer) or double C‐4 inversion (the cis isomer).     

Acidity Constants of the Thienyl- and Phenyl-Pyridines and Stability Constants of the Corresponding Copper (II) 1:1 Complexes

The acidity constants of the six thienyl- and the three phenyl-pyridines, and the stability constants of the corresponding Cu²⁺ 1:1 complexes were determined in aqueous solution (I = 0.1, NaCIO₄; 25°). The basicity of the pyridyl group is increased by a shift of a thienyl or phenyl group in the order 2 < 3 < 4 and the influence of the 2′-thienyl group is greater than that of the 3′-thienyl group. The stability of the Cu²⁺ 1:1 complexes formed with 3- and 4-substituted pyridines is only dependent on their basicity, as is commonly observed for structurally related ligands and their complexes. Due to steric hindrance the complexes of the 2-substituted derivatives are less stable by about 1.5 log units. There is no evidence that the aromatic bonded sulfur of 2-(2′-thienyl)-pyridine participates in complex formation with Cu²⁺, in opposition to an earlier claim [1].     

1H and 13C NMR studies of some germacrones and isogermacrones

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the trans,trans-, cis,cis- and cis-C-3–C-4, trans-C-7–C-8-germacrones and of the cis-C-2–C-3, trans-C-7–C–8, trans-C-2–C-3, cis-C-7–C-8- and cis,cis-isogermacrones are analysed. The last two isogermacrones are new compounds. The C-2–C-3 double bond in the previously described isogermacrone is found to be of cis configuration, contrary to the hitherto accepted trans arrangement.     

Design,synthesis, preliminary pharmacological evaluation,and docking studies of pyrazoline derivatives

Ten derivatives of N1 substituted/unsubstituted 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-thienyl) pyrazoline were synthesised from chalcone-like intermediate and substituted phenyl hydrazines, hydrazine hydrate, and semi/thiosemicarbazide. The chemical structure of compounds was confirmed by means of IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities were investigated by Porsolt’s behavioural despair test (forced swimming) and maximum electroshock seizure test, respectively. Rota-Rod test was performed to assess any probable changes in motor coordination induced by the test compounds. Four compounds (IId, IIg, IIi, and IIj) exhibited good activity profile against depression and docking studies confirmed their consensual interaction with monoamine oxidase A. In addition, compounds IIc and IIe showed protection against MES-induced seizures.     

Ultrasound promoted enantioselective transesterification of 3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile catalyzed by lipase

(S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile, which is the key chiral building block for the synthesis of (S)-duloxetine, was successfully prepared via enantioselective transesterification catalyzed by lipase under ultrasound irradiation. Compared with conventional shaking, the enzyme activity and enantioselectivity were dramatically enhanced under ultrasound irradiation. Under optimum reaction conditions (solvent: n-hexane, ultrasound power: 150?W, a_w: 0.33, temperature: 40°C), Pseudomonas sp. lipase exhibited an excellent catalytic performance (enzyme activity: 81.5?μmol?g^?1?min^?1, E-value: 65.4). The reaction achieved its equilibrium in approximately 7?h with a conversion of 53.9% and high enantiopurity (99% ee) of (S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile could be obtained.
