13C, 15N and 113Cd NMR and Molecular Orbital Studies of Novel Bile Acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amides and Their Cd2+-complexes

Lithocholic acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amide (1) and deoxycholic acid N-(2-aminoethyl)amide(2) have been prepared and characterized by¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR. The accurate molecular masses of 1 and 2 have been determined by ESI MS. The formation of the Cd²⁺-complexes (1+Cd and 2+Cd) in CD₃OD solution have been detected by ¹H,¹³C, ¹⁵N and ¹¹³Cd NMR. The ¹³C NMR chemical shift assignments of 1 and 2 and their Cd²⁺-complexes are based on DEPT-135 and z-GS ¹H,¹³C HMQC experiments as well as comparison with the assignments of the related structures. The ¹⁵N NMR chemical shiftassignments of the ligands and theirCd²⁺-complexes are based on z-GS¹H,¹⁵N HMBC experiments. ¹³C NMR chemical shift differences between 1and its 1:1 Cd²⁺-complex based on ab initiocalculations at Hartree-Fock SCI-PCM level using3-21G(d) basis set are in agreement with theexperimental shift changes observed onCd²⁺-complexation.     

Ternary complexes of cobalt cysteinylglycine with histidylserine and histidylphenylalanine-stabilities and DNA cleavage properties

Interaction of cobalt cysteinylglycine with histidylserine and histidylphenylalanine was investigated in a 1 : 1 : 1 ratio at 35°C and 0·10 mol dm⁻³ ionic strength. Their stabilities and geometries were determined. Their DNA binding and cleavage properties were investigated. The intrinsic binding constants (K _b ) for DNA bound 1 and 2 (3·03 × 10³ M⁻¹ for 1 and 3·87 × 10³ M⁻¹ for 2) were determined. Even though the negative charge on the complexes reduced their affinity for DNA, there was an enhancement of binding through specificity. The degradation of plasmid DNA was achieved by cobalt dipeptide complexes [Co^II(CysGly)(HisSer)] (1) and [Co^II(CysGly)(HisPhe)] (2). Cleavage experiments revealed that 1 and 2 cleave supercoiled DNA (form I) to nicked circular (form II) through hydrolytic pathway at physiological pH. The DNA hydrolytic cleavage rate constants for complexes 1 and 2 were determined to be 0·62 h⁻¹, for 1 and 0·38 h⁻¹ for 2 respectively.     

NMR studies of molecular motion in tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate

Polycrystalline (CH₃)₄NOH·5 H₂O (I) and (CH₃)₄NOD·5D₂O (II) have been studied by¹H NMR lineshapes, second moments and spin-lattice relaxation times and by²H NMR lineshapes as a function of temperature. From low temperatures the first motion to occur is reorientation of the internally rigid (CH₃)₄N⁺ ion about a uniqueC ₃ axis (E _ta = 8.37 kJ/mol forI,E _a = 9.00 kJ/mole forII), followed closely by pseudo isotropic reorientation of the whole ion (E _a = 18.10 kJ/mol). Motion of the cage molecules (water and hydroxide ion) occurs at higher temperatures with an apparentE _a = 11.30 kJ/mol. There is some evidence of a phase transition inII but notI in the 220–230 K region.²H NMR lineshapes ofII below 220 K indicate static cage molecules. Some of the²H quadrupole coupling constants derived from these spectra correspond to O·O hydrogen-bond distances which are incompatible with the known room temperature structure ofI. Above the possible transition inII the anisotropic²H lineshapes indicate rapid motion of²H among all possible hydrogen-bond sites via transfer along the bonds and molecular reorientation. This motion persists in the high temperature phase but the lineshape becomes isotropic due to the cubic symmetry of this phase. It is possible that¹H or²H tunnelling plays an important part in the motion of the cage molecules and the different phase behaviour ofI andII.Dedicated to Dr D. W. Davidson in honor of his great contributions to the sciences of inclusion phenomena.     

[1,3]Dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-ones

Summary The reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid (1) with thionyl chloride resulted in the formation of 7-chlorothieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carbonyl chloride (2) and cinnamoyl chloride (3). Subsequent reaction of the former withp-substituted anilines led to the formation of 7-chloro-N-(p-substituted phenyl)-thieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carboxamides (4a–c) which on photocyclization afforded 2-substituted [1,3]dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones (5a–c) in fairly good yields and high purity. The structures have been confirmed by IR,¹H NMR, and analytical methods.Accepted for presentation at the Hong Kong International Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (August 13–16, 1995)     

New silver(I) pyridinecarboxylate complexes: synthesis,characterization, and antimicrobial therapeutic potential

Silver(I) pyridinecarboxylates (AgPIC (1), AgNIC (2), [Ag(HDIPIC)]·0.75H₂O (3), PIC?=?picolinate, NIC?=?nicotinate, HDIPIC?=?dipicolinate) were prepared by solvothermal syntheses and their characterization were completed by elemental, spectral, and thermal analyses. To assign the pyridinecarboxylate coordination mode in the complexes, detailed mid-infrared spectral data and Δ(ν_as???ν_s) comparisons were accomplished. In addition, silver(I) pyridinecarboxylate antimicrobial activities and stability by ¹H NMR spectra were determined. Moreover, the spectral, thermal, and antimicrobial properties of silver(I) and previously prepared zinc(II) pyridinecarboxylates were compared and discussed.     

Iron(III) complexes with N 4- para -tolyl-thiosemicarbazones: spectral and electrochemical studies and toxicity to Artemia salina

Iron(III) complexes [Fe(H2Fo4pT)Cl₃] (1), [Fe(H2Ac4pT)Cl₃] (2) and [Fe(H2Bz4pT)Cl₃] (3) with N⁴ -para-tolyl-thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-formyl (H2Fo4pT), 2-acetyl (H2Ac4pT) and 2-benzoylpyridine (H2Bz4pT) were prepared and characterized. EPR data for 1–3 reveal the presence of low-spin iron(III) with d _xz ²d _yz ²d _xy ¹ ground state. Electrochemical studies of the complexes showed mostly metal-centered redox changes with a quasi-reversible Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple. H2Fo4pT and H2Ac4pT exhibited toxicity against Artemia salina at low doses (LD₅₀ = 27.5 µM and LD₅₀ = 4.7 µM, respectively). Upon coordination the toxicity increased substantially in the case of [Fe(H2Fo4pT)Cl₃] (LD₅₀ = 1.9 µM) and did not change for [Fe(H2Ac4pT)Cl₃]. H2Bz4pT and its iron(III) complex were not soluble in water.

Umsetzung von 1,5-Dimethyl-2,3,3,4-tetrachlor-1,5,2,4-diazadiphosphorinan-6-on mit Anilinderivaten,Heptamethyldisilazan und tert.-Butylamin: Oxidative Addition von Tetrachlor-o-benzochinon an einige P(III)-haltige Produkte

The reaction of the title compound 1 with the p-R-aniline derivatives (R═H, F, OCH₃, NO₂, and NH₂) led to the formation of the aza-2σ³,4σ³-diphosphetidines 2a– 2e, whereas 2-trimethylsiloxyaniline furnished the azadiphosphetidine 2f. The reaction of the sterically crowded 2,6-dimethylaniline with 1 furnished the disubstituted derivative 3. The tricyclic compound 5 was formed during the reaction of 1,2-phenylenediamine with 1. Heptamethyldisilazane formed the aza-2σ ³ ,4σ ³ -diphosphetidine 6 on reaction with 1. The bulkier tert.-butylamine formed with 1 a mixture of the aza-2,4-diphosphetidine 7a and the disubstituted derivative 7b, which could not be separated. The reaction of 2b and 6 with tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone resulted in the formation of the bis-spirophosphoranes 8 and 9b, respectively. The formation of the monospirophosphorane 9a was observed in the ³¹P NMR spectrum. The characterization of compounds is based in particular on NMR investigations (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P). 2a was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The dimethylurea fragment is planar; the four-membered ring is folded about the P···P vector by 38.7°.     

Alkyl alkynylphosphonites in the Kabachnik-Fields reaction

O-Ethyl alkynylphosphonites [EtOP(O)(H)CэCR] (1 and2) react withp-bromobenzaldehyde and benzylamine to form the usual acyclic products of the Kabachnik-Fields reaction or phosphorus-containing heterocycles depending on the nature of the substituent R at the β-carbon atom of the acetylene fragment of phosphonite. In the case of R=Bu^t,O-ethyl (α-benzylamino-p-bromobenzyl)(3,3-dimethylbut-1-ynyl)phosphinate (3) was obtained. In the case of R=Me, 1-benzyl-2-p-bromophenyl-3-ethoxy-5-methyl-3-oxo-Δ⁴-1,3-λ⁵-azaphospholine (4) was formed. Compounds3 and4 were also synthesized by the reactions of the above-mentioned phosphonites with the corresponding azomethines. Dedicated to the memory of Academician M. I. Kabachnik on his 90th birthday. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2104–2106, October, 1998.     

Study of allylic rearrangement in (μ-H)Os3(μ-O=CNRCH2CH=CH2)(CO)10 (R=H or CH3) clusters

The migration of the double bond in the allylcarboxamide ligands of (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CN RCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀ (R=H (1) or CH₃ (2)), (μ-D)Os₃(μ-O=CNDCH₂CH=CH₂) (CO)₁₀, and (μ-H)Os₃(μ-O=CNHCD₂CH=CH₂)(CO)₁₀ clusters was studied by¹H,²H, and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Neither μ-D nor ND groups in the deuterated complexes are directly involved in prototropic processes of allylic rearrangement. Initially, the deuterium atom of the CD₂ group migrates to the ψ-carbon atom of the allyl fragment to form the −CD=CH-CH₂D propenyl moiety, in which the deuterium and hydrogen atoms are gradually redistributed between the ψ-and β-carbon atoms. The triosmium cluster complexes containing the bridging carboxamide ligands O=CNRR' catalyze the allylic rearrangement ofN-allylacetamide. Based on the data obtained, the probable scheme of the allylic rearrangements in clusters1 and2 was proposed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

[Boranato-bis(dimethylphosphonium-methylid)]-Komplexe der do- und d10-Metalle: Li,Be, Mg,Zn, Cd,Hg, Al und Ga

Dehydrohalogenation and metallation of boranato-bis-trimethylphosphonium salts (1), using two equivalents of a lithiumalkyl in tetrahydrofuran, leads to a solvated organolithium reagent H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂Li (3) which can be converted into a 1:1n1-complex with tetramethylethylenediamin (4).3 reacts with anhydrous metal(II) halides to form spirocyclic coordination compounds of the type H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂ M[CH₂P(CH₃)₂]₂BH₂ (5–9,M=Be, Mg, Zn, Cd, Hg). The reaction of [(CH₃)₃PBH₂P(CH₃)₃]Br (1) with lithium tetramethylmetalates Li[M(CH₃)₄],M=Al, Ga, on heating in the absence of a solvent affords the metallocycles H₂B[(CH₃)₂PCH₂]₂ M(CH₃)₂ (10, 11) with evolution of methane. The products can be sublimed from the reaction mixture. The proposed structures of the new compounds, with tetrahedrally coordinated central atoms and strong covalent metal-carbon interactions, are supported by mass, IR and¹H,⁷Li,¹¹B,¹³C, and³¹P NMR spectra. Compound9 represents a rare case of a tetracoordinate organomercurial, compound5 is the first nonionic tetraalkylberyllate.

     

Synthesis,spectroscopic properties,and antimicrobial activity of some new 5-phenylazo-6-aminouracil-vanadyl complexes

Six complexes, [VO(L¹-H)₂]?·?5H₂O (1), [VO(OH)(L^2,3?H)(H₂O)]?·?H₂O (2,3), [VO(OH)(L^4,5?H)(H₂O)]?·?H₂O (4,5), [VO(OH)(L⁶?H)(H₂O)]?·?H₂O (6), were prepared by reacting different derivatives of 5-phenylazo-6-aminouracil ligands with VOSO₄?·?5H₂O. The infrared and ¹H NMR spectra of the complexes have been assigned. Thermogravimetric analyses (TG, DTG) were also carried out. The data agree quite well with the proposed structures and show that the complexes were finally decomposed to the corresponding divanadium pentoxide. The ligands and their vanadyl complexes were screened for antimicrobial activities by the agar-well diffusion technique using DMSO as solvent. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for 1–4 and 6 were calculated at 30°C for 24–48?h. The activity data show that the complexes are more potent antimicrobials than the parent ligands.     

Formation of antiferromagnetic thiolate-bridged and sulfide-bridged complexes

Reactions of Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)₂S (1) with rhenium complexes (CO)(NO)Re(PR₃)₂X₂ [R=Et, X=Cl (7a); R=Et, X=O₃SCF₃ (7b); R=OMe, X=O₃SCF₃ (7c)] containing strongly bound phosphine ligands and with Pd(PPrⁱ ₃)₂Cl₂ (8) containing bulky P donors were studied. The reaction between compounds1 and7a does not occur in various solvents within a temperature range of 22–80 °C. Interaction of1 with triflat derivatives7b and7c yields the paramagnetic tetrahedral homonuclear cationic cluster Cp₄Cr₄S₄ ⁺O₃SCF₃ ⁻ (10) and the binuclear methylated complex Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)₂(SMe)⁺O₃SCF₃ ⁻ (11), respectively. The reaction of compound1 with8 affords the antiferromagnetic heteronuclear cluster Cp₂Cr₂(SCMe₃)S₂PdCl(PPrⁱ ₃) (12). The structure of the core of12 is analogous to the structures of the rhodium-containing complexes Cp₂Cr₂(μ-SCMe₃)(μ₃-S)₂RhL₂. Although compound8 reacts with Fe₃S₂(CO)₉ (5), the major products are the homometallic trinuclear clusters Fe₃S₂(CO)₈(PPrⁱ ₃) (14) (as a mixture of isomers) and Fe₃S₂(CO)₇(PPrⁱ ₃)₂ (15), whereas the heteronuclear complex (CO)₆Fe₂S₂Pd(PPrⁱ ₃)₂ (16) was found only in trace amounts. The reasons for the difference in the reactivities of the rhenium and palladium derivatives toward compounds1 and5 are discussed. The structures of complexes10 (two crystal modifications),11, 12, 15, and16 were established by X-ray structural analysis of the single crystals. For Part 4, see I. L. Eremenko, S. E. Nefedov, H.

The synthesized complexes have been investigated by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. The data show that the thiosemicarbazone acts as a tridentate dianionic ligand and coordinates via the thiol group, imine nitrogen, and phenolic oxygen. The coordination number of tin is 5. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the ligands and their complexes have been evaluated against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria and compared with the standard antibacterial drugs.

The reaction of [Rh(CO)₂(µ-Cl)]₂ with two molar equivalents of a chiral ligand, (R)-N,N-bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)-1-phenylethylamine(PNP*) yield a mono-carbonyl complex, [Rh(CO)Cl(η²-P,P-PNP*)] (1), in which the potentially tridentate PNP* ligand coordinates in a bidentate fashion through P,P bonding. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, FAB mass, IR, UV-Vis, ¹H- and ³¹P{¹H}-NMR spectroscopy. Variable temperature (223–298 K) ³¹P{¹H}-,NMR spectra of 1 showed a mixture of cis and trans isomers in the solution with the trans predominating at room temperature and the cis at lower temperature. Complex 1 was immobilized on silica through axial coordination of amine from 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane functionalized silica. The immobilized materials were characterized by elemental analysis (N₂), FTIR, DTA–TGA, N₂-adsorption, XRD, and SEM analysis.     

Selected properties of bi- and trinuclear complexes prepared by the reactions of Ru3(CO)12 with β-substituted oxadienes

The reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂with 4-phenylbut-3-an-2-ine (1a), 3-phenyl-1-p-tolylprop-2-an-1-ine (1b), and 1,3-diferrocenylprop-2-an-1-ine (1c) afforded the Ru₂(CO)₆(-H)(O=C(R¹)C(H)=C(R²)) (2) and Ru₃(CO)₈(O=C(R¹)C(H)=C(R²))₂(3) complexes. Dissolution of these complexes in CHCl₃or CH₂Cl₂gave rise to the Ru₂(CO)₄(-Cl)₂(O=C(R¹)C(H)=C(R²)) complexes (4). The thermal transformations of complexes 2and 3in the presence of an excess of the ligand yielded the Ru₂O₂(CO)₄(³-OC(R¹)C(H)(CH₂R²)C(R²)C(H)C(R¹))₂(5) and Ru(CO)₂(O=C(R¹)C(H)=C(R²))₂(6) complexes. Analogous complexes were obtained upon more prolonged heating of the starting reaction mixtures. The structures of complexes 4a, 5a, and 6cwere established by X-ray diffraction analysis and confirmed by spectroscopic data.
