Copper(II) Halide Complexes of 2-Aminopyrimidines: Crystal Structures of [(2-aminopyrimidine) n CuCl2] (n=1,2) and (2-amino-5-bromopyrimidine)2CuBr2

The reaction of CuX₂(X=Cl, Br) with 2-aminopyrimidine in aqueous solution, or 2-amino-5-bromopyrimidine in aqueous acid yields compounds of the forms [LCuCl₂] _n (1), [L₂CuCl₂] (2) and [L'₂CuBr₂] (3) [L=2-aminopyrimidine; L'=2-amino-5-bromo-pyrimidine]. The three compounds all form layered structures in which each copper ion is coordinated to two 2-aminopyrimidine molecules and two halide ions. Common structural threads involve bridging ligation [either by monomeric (1) or hydrogen bonded ligand dimers (2 and 3)], N-H···X and N-H···N hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions as well as semi-coordinate Cu···X bond formation (1 and 2) or Br···Br interactions (3). Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize as two-dimensional coordination polymers with asymmetrically bihalide bridged (CuX₂) _n chains cross-linked into sheets by the 2-aminopyrimidine molecules (1) or by hydrogen bonded L₂ dimers (2). The halide bibridged chains expand their primary copper coordination spheres to give 4 + 2 coordination spheres in 1 and 2. In 3, the layer structure involves coordination of the hydrogen bonded L'₂ dimers and C-Br···Br- interactions.

Abstract

Ganglioside GM₄ and GM₃ analogs, containing 3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosonic acid (KDN) in place of N-acetylneuraminic acid, have been synthesized.

N-Iodosuccinimide (NIS)-TfOH-promoted glycosylation of 7 or 8 with methyl (phenyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyra-nosid)onate (9) afforded the desired tetrasaccharides 10 and 11.

Compound 11 was converted into the α-trichloroacetimidate 14 via reductive removal of the benzyl groups, O-acetylation, removal of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group and treatment with trichloroacetonitrile. Coupling of 14 with 2-azidoethanol, 8-azidooc-tanol, and 2-[2-(2-azidoethoxy)ethoxy]ethanol, gave the desired β-glycosides 15-17, respectively.

3-Thioxo-2H-imidazo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-1,5-dione (3) and 2-sub-stituted 3-thioxo-2H-imidazo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-1,5-diones (4a–l) were prepared from the reaction of 2-thiohydantoin (2) and 3-substituted 2-thiohydantoin (5a–l) with 2-formyl benzoic acid (1). Alkylation of 3 under an anhydrous basic conditions afforded 4a–i. The alkylation of 3 in aqueous basic solution afforded 3-(alkylmercapto)imidazo[1,5-b]isoquinoline-1,5-diones (7a,b). Reactions of the aromatic amino acids 9a,b and 12 with 7a afforded 2-(2H-1,5 dioxoimidazo[1,5-b]isoquinazolin-3-ylideneamino)benzoic acids (10a, b) and 3-(2H-1,5-dioxoimidazo[1,5-b]isoquinazolin-3-ylideneamino)2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (13), which were then cyclyzed by heating in acetic anhydride to afford 15H-isoquino[2′,3′ :3,4] imidazo[2,1-b]quinazoline-7,13,15-triones (11a,b) and 14H-isoquino[2′,3′:3,4]imidazo[2,1-b]benzo[g]quinazoline-8,14,16-trione (14). Some of the new compounds were tested for their antitumor activities.     

Copper(II) complexes of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-fluoropyridine: syntheses and magnetic properties of (3,5-FCAP)2CuX2 and (3,5-FCAPH)2CuX4

Using 2-amino-5-chloro-3-fluoropyridine, two new copper halide coordination complexes and two new salts have been synthesized: [(3,5-FCAP)₂CuCl₂] (1), [(3,5-FCAP)₂CuBr₂](2), (3,5-FCAPH)₂[CuCl₄] (3) and (3,5-FCAPH)₂[CuBr₄] (4) [3,5-FCAP?=?2-amino-5-chloro-3-fluoropyridine; 3,5-FCAPH?=?2-amino-5-chloro-3-fluoropyridinium]. These complexes have been analyzed through single-crystal X-ray diffraction and temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility. Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1, while 3 and 4 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. All structures were distinct, with 1 giving a bihalide bridged chain, 2 yielding a halide bridged dimer, 3 forming a two-halide bridged chain via short Cl???Cl contacts, and 4 producing a rectangular sheet via short Br???Br contacts. All four compounds exhibit anti-ferromagnetic interactions and were fit to linear chain (1 and 3), dimer (2), and rectangular 2-D sheet (4) models. The resulting J/k_B values are ?3.4(1), ?31.3(8), ?0.9(1), and ?9.46(6)?K with an α value (α?=?J?/J) of 0.06(2), respectively.     

Syntheses,structures, and thermal properties of new Au(III) organometallic compounds with ancillary S-, O-, and/or N-donor ligands

((CH₃)₂Au)₂C₂O₄ (1), ((CH₃)₂AuSCN)₂ (2), (CH₃)₂AuSSP(OCH₃)₂ (3), and (CH₃)₂AuSSP(OC₂H₅)₂ (4) were prepared and recrystallized from hexane to determine their crystal structures and analyze them by thermal methods (TGA). The compounds have been investigated as new possible precursors for metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Compounds 1 and 2 are solids, while 3 and 4 are liquids. Crystal structures of 1 and 2 have been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD): compounds are monoclinic, space group for 1 P2₁/c, for 2 P2₁/n. Compound 1 has crystal parameters a?=?7.6952(5)?Å, b?=?11.1814(8)?Å, c?=?12.2893(8)?Å, α?=?90°, β?=?104.922(4)°, γ?=?90°; 2 has crystal parameters a?=?5.6184(3)?Å, b?=?15.2744(6)?Å, c?=?6.9202(3)?Å, α?=?90°, β?=?102.864(2)°, γ?=?90°. These are neutral complexes, in which molecules are only connected by van der Waal's interactions. Thermal gravimetric analyses (TGA) have shown that 3 and 4 evaporate practically without decomposition. MOCVD experiments were carried out at lower pressure using 3 and 4 as precursors. The films were grown on Si substrate and investigated by XRD and SEM.

The other crystals. 2. 3. and 4. are all triclinic, Pī; a = 9.777(3), b = 6.348(4), c = 6.888(3)Å, a= 113.10(6)., β= 110.55(3). γ = 97.61(5)°, and Z=l for 2; a = 7.0281(4), b = 7.7176(6), c = 8.6978(7)Å, a = 68.103(7), β = 68.526(5), γ = 62.550(6)°, and Z=1 for 3; a = 9.1807(4), b = 6.3334(3), c = 6.8871(3)Å, a= 108.213(4), β = 99.433(4), γ= 105.190(4)°, and Z= 1 for 4. The arrangements around the metal ions are trans-octahedra with two pyridyl nitrogens and two aqua oxygens in the equatorial positions and two aqua oxygens in the axial positions, although the Cu(II) complexes show a larger Jahn-Teller distortion.
