Formylation of indol-1-yl acetates

Preparation procedure was developed for 3-formylindole-5,6-dicarbonitriles underlain by the treatment of 1-acetoxyindole-5,6-dicarbonitriles with Vilsmeier-Haack reagent; a special feature of this reaction consisted in a replacement of the OAc group for hydrogen. A probable mechanism was assumed of the formation of 3-formylindole-5,6-dicarbonitriles.

A method for the synthesis of 1-[ω-(3,3-dialkyldiaziridin-1-yl)alkyl]-3,3-dialkyldiaziridines based on the reaction of ketoxime O-arenesulfonates with alkylenediamines was developed.

The photochromism of Derivatives of 2,2′-dichlorooctafluoro(bi-1-cyclobuten-1-yl)

We have already reported on some reactions of perfluoro-3,4-dimethyl-3-hexene (1) with O-nucleophiles and the products are derived from attack on both (1) and its isomer (2), which are apparently in equilibrium in solution and in the presence of fluoride ion [1].

     

Synthesis and characterization of polymeric triphenyltin and cyclotetrameric tricyclohexyltin 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetates

The reaction of 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetic acid with (Ph₃Sn)₂O or Cy₃SnOH (Cy?=?cyclohexyl) yields triphenyltin 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetate (1) and tricyclohexyltin 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetate (2), respectively. 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetates in these two complexes show remarkably different coordination modes. Complex 1 forms a polymeric chain structure through intermolecular Sn–N interactions, while 2 displays a 28-membered macrocyclic tetranuclear structure by the assembly of Sn–N coordination bonds.     

New multidentate heteroscorpionate ligands: N-Phenyl-2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide and ethyl 2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate as well as their derivatives

New multidentate heteroscorpionate ligands, N-phenyl-2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide PhHNCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂ (1), N-phenyl-2,2-bis(3,4,5-trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide PhHNCSCH(3,4,5-Me₃Pz)₂ (2), and ethyl 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate EtSCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂ (8), have been synthesized and their coordination chemistry studied. These heteroscorpionate ligands can act as monodentate, bidentate, or tridentate ligands, depending on the coordinate properties of different metals. Reaction of W(CO)₆ with 1 or 2 under UV irradiation yields monosubstituted carbonyl tungsten complexes W(CO)₅L (L = 1 or 2), in which N-phenyl-2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide acts as a monodentate ligand by the s-coordination to the tungsten atom. In addition, these monosubstituted tungsten complexes have also been obtained by heating ligand 1 or 2 with W(CO)₅THF in THF. While similar reaction of Fe(CO)₅ with 1, 2, or 8 under UV irradiation results in tricarbonyl iron complexes PhHNCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂Fe(CO)₃ (5), PhHNCSCH(3,4,5-Me₃Pz)₂Fe(CO)₃ (6), and EtSCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂Fe(CO)₃ (9), respectively, in which N-phenyl-2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide or ethyl 2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate acts as a bidentate ligand through one pyrazolyl nitrogen atom and the CS π-bond in an η²-C,S fashion side-on bonded to the iron atom to adopt a neutral bidentate κ²-(π,N) coordination mode. Treatment of the lithium salt of 1 with Co(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O gives complex [PhNCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂]₂Co(ClO₄) with the oxidation of cobalt(II) to cobalt(III), in which N-phenyl-2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide acts as a tridentate monoanionic κ³-(N,N,S) chelating ligand by two pyrazolyl nitrogen atoms and the sulfur atom of the enolized thiolate anion.     

A facile preparation of 1-(6-hydroxyindol-1-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropan-1-one

An effective synthesis of 1-(6-hydroxyindol-1-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropan-1-one (4) was developed starting from 1H-indole (2). The key step involved suitable utilization of 4-(1-pyrrolidino)pyridine for the removal of the chloroacetyl moiety from chloroacetic acid 1-(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)-1H-indol-6-yl ester (3); a possible mechanism is, also, presented. Compound 4 might lead to selectively substituted derivatives, either on the phenolic-OH or the indolyl-NH, with putative biological interest. In this respect, we found that the core structure of 1H-indol-6-ol (1) possesses a degree of aldose reductase inhibitory potential, at a concentration of 100 microM.     

Efficient kinetic resolution of racemic 3-nitro-cyclopent(or hex)-2-en-1-yl acetates

The kinetic resolution of 3-nitro-cyclopent(or hex)-2-en-1-yl acetates via enzymatic hydrolysis using Pseudomonas cepacia lipase is described. A model, based on a strong interaction between the nitro group and the active site, accounts for the structural selectivity and the stereoselectivity observed.
