Modified guanidines as potential chiral superbases. 2. Preparation Of 1,3-unsubstituted and 1-substituted 2-iminoimidazolidine derivatives and a related guanidine by the 2-chloro-1, 3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride-induced cyclization of thioureas

Simple preparation methods for modified guanidines were explored for new chiral superbases. Thus, (4S,5S)-4,5-diphenyl- and diastereomeric cyclohexane-fused 2-iminoimidazolidines were prepared from (1S,2S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and (1R,2R)- or (1S,2S)-1, 2-diaminocyclohexanes through cyclization of protected thiourea intermediates with 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC) as a key reaction. In the (4S,5S)-4,5-diphenyl series 1-methyl-2-iminoimidazolidines and 2-diethylaminoimidazoline were also prepared as related guanidines.     

Structural confirmation of regioisomers of Lopinavir impurities using MS and gradient COSY (1H and 13C NMR assignment of Lopinavir impurities)

We report the complete (1)H and (13)C NMR assignment of impurities of six Lopinavir (2S)-N-[(2S, 4S, 5S)-5-{[2-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)acetyl]amino}-4-hydroxy-1,6-diphenyl hexan-2-yl]-3-methyl-2-(2-oxo-1,3-diazinan-1-yl)butan- amide.

One-dimensional(1D) chiral chain complexes [CuLSCu(Pydc)](2S) and [CuLRCu(Pydc)](2R)(LS=(E)-3-(((1S,2S)-2-(((E)-3-oxo-3-(4-pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)propylidene)amono)-1,2-diphenyl)imino)-1-(4-(pyridi-4-yl)phenyl)butan-1-one) and LR=(E)-3-(((1R,2R)-2-(((E)-3-oxo-3-(4-pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)propylidene)amono)-1,2-diphenyl)imino)-1-(4-(pyridi-4-yl)phenyl)butan-1-one and Pydc=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid)have been synthesized vis mononuclear chiral enantiomer precursors CuLS(1S) and CuLR(1R).Their different chiral configurations of 1S,1R,2S and 2R were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses,infrared spectra(IR),powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD),thermal gravimetric analyses(TGA) and circular dichroism spectra(CD).     

Modified guanidines as potential chiral superbases. 1. Preparation Of 1,3-disubstituted 2-iminoimidazolidines and the related guanidines through chloroamidine derivatives

Modified guanidines were explored as potential chiral superbases. Thus, chiral 1,3-dimethyl-2-iminoimidazolidines with or without 4, 5-diphenyl groups, their guanidinium salts, and the 2-iminoimidazolidines with (S)-1-phenylethyl groups on the ring nitrogens were prepared by treatment of 2-chloroimidazolinium chlorides with appropriate amines. Bicyclic guanidines were also prepared from a prolinamide using a similar procedure.     

A synthesis of isothiazoles and pyrimidines via a vilsmeier-haack reaction

A new synthesis of isothiazoles is reported which involves the reaction of Vilsmeier salts of N,N-dimethylamides with enamino nitriles, and treatment of the intermediates successively with sodium hydrosulfide and iodine. 4-Isothiazolecarbonitriles prepared were: 3-phenyl; 3,5-dimethyl; 3,5-diphenyl; 3-methyl-5-phenyl; and 3-phenyl-5-methyl. The 5-phenylisothiazoles were obtained in low yields due to a side reaction involving the formation of pyrimidines. Pyrimidines encountered were 6-chloro-2,4-diphenyl and 6-chloro-4-methyl-2-phenylpyrimidines.

Square planar vs tetrahedral coordination in diamagnetic complexes of nickel(II) containing two bidentate pi-radical monoanions

The reaction of three different 1-phenyl and 1,4-diphenyl substituted S-methylisothiosemicarbazides, H(2)[L(1-6)], with Ni(OAc)(2).4H(2)O in ethanol in the presence of air yields six four-coordinate species [Ni(L(1-6)(*))(2)] (1-6) where (L(1-6)(*))(1-) represent the monoanionic pi-radical forms. The crystal structures of the nickel complexes with 1-phenyl derivatives as in 1 reveal a square planar structure trans-[Ni(L(1)(-3)(*))(2)], whereas the corresponding 1,4-diphenyl derivatives are distorted tetrahedral as is demonstrated by X-ray crystallography of [Ni(L(5)(*))(2)] (5) and [Ni(L(6)(*))(2)] (6). Both series of mononuclear complexes possess a diamagnetic ground state. The electronic structures of both series have been elucidated experimentally (electronic spectra magnetization data). The square planar complexes 1-3 consist of a diamagnetic central Ni(II) ion and two strongly antiferromagnetically coupled ligand pi-radicals as has been deduced from correlated ab initio calculations; they are singlet diradicals. The tetrahedral complexes 4-6 consist of a paramagnetic high-spin Ni(II) ion (S(Ni) = 1), which is strongly antiferromagnetically coupled to two ligand pi-radicals. This is clearly revealed by DFT and correlated ab initio calculations. Electrochemically, complexes 1-6 can be reduced to form stable, paramagnetic monoanions [1-6](-) (S = (1)/(2)). The anions [1-3](-) are square planar Ni(II) (d,(8) S(Ni) = 0) species where the excess electron is delocalized over both ligands (class III, ligand mixed valency). In contrast, one-electron reduction of 4, 5, and 6 yields paramagnetic tetrahedral monoanions (S = (1)/(2)). X-band EPR spectroscopy shows that there are two different isomers A and B of each monoanion present in solution. In these anions, the excess electron is localized on one ligand [Ni(II)(L(4-6)(*))(L(4-6))](-) where (L(4-6))(2-) is the closed shell dianion of the ligands H(2)[L(4-6)] as was deduced from their electronic spectra and broken symmetry DFT calculations. Oxidation of 1 and 5 with excess iodine yields octahedral complexes [Ni(II)(L(1,ox))(2)I(2)] (7), [Ni(II)(L(1,ox))(3)](I(3))(2) (8), and trans-[Ni(II)(L(5,ox))(2)(I(3))(2)] (9), which have been characterized by X-ray crystallography; (L(1-)(6,ox)) represent the neutral, two-electron oxidized forms of the corresponding dianions (L(1-6))(2-). The room-temperature structures of complexes 1, 5, and 7 have been described previously in refs 1-5.

Synthesis and characterization of novel fluorophosphazene-derived cobaltacyclopentadienyl metallacycles: reagents for assembly of aryl-bridged fluorophosphazenes

Reaction of (beta-phenylethynyl)pentafluorocyclotriphosphazene, F5P3N3C identical with CPh, with in situ generated eta5-(MeOC(O)C5H4)Co(PPh3)2 resulted in the formation of two isomers of cobaltacyclopentadienylmetallacycles, (eta(5)-carbomethoxycyclopentadienyl)(triphenylphosphine)-2,5-bis(pentafluorocyclotriphosphazenyl)-3,4-diphenyl cobaltacyclopentadiene (1) and (eta5-carbomethoxycyclopentadienyl)(triphenylphosphine)-2,4-bis(pentafluorocyclotriphosphazenyl)-3,5-diphenyl cobaltacyclopentadiene (2), along with the sandwich compound [eta5-carbomethoxycyclopentadienyl]-[eta4-1,3-bis(pentafluorocyclotriphosphazenyl)-2,4-diphenylcyclobutadiene]cobalt (3). Formation of cobaltacyclopentadienylmetallacycles or cyclobutadienylmetallocene having two fluorophosphazene units on vicinal carbon atoms of the rings was not observed in this reaction. Reaction of 1 with diphenylacetylene resulted in the formation of a novel aryl-bridged fluorophosphazene, 1,4-bis(pentafluorocyclotriphosphazenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetraphenyl benzene (4), and the conversion of cobaltametallacycle to the sandwich compound, [eta5-(MeOC(O)C5H4]Co(eta4-C4Ph4) (5). Reaction of 1 with phenylacetylene resulted in the formation of aryl-bridged fluorophosphazene, 1,4-bis(pentafluorophosphazenyl)-2,3,5,-triphenyl benzene (6). New compounds 1-4 were structurally characterized. In compound 1, the two fluorophosphazene units were oriented in gauche form with respect to each other. However, in compounds 2 and 3, they were eclipsed to each other, and in compound 4, they were oriented anti to each other.

Sulfonyl-PYBOX Ligands Enable Kinetic Resolution of α-Tertiary Azides by CuAAC

We report the first highly selective kinetic resolution of racemic α-chiral azides via Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). Newly developed pyridine-bisoxazoline (PYBOX) ligands, bearing a C4 sulfonyl group, enable effective kinetic resolution of racemic azides derived from privileged scaffolds such as indanone, cyclopentenone, and oxindole, and their asymmetric CuAAC to afford α-tertiary 1,2,3-triazoles with high to excellent ee values. DFT calculations and control experiments reveal that the C4 sulfonyl group decreases the Lewis basicity of the ligand and increases the electrophilicity of the copper center for better recognition of azides, and functions as a shielding group to make the chiral pocket of the catalyst more effective.

Electrostatically immobilised BOX and PYBOX metal catalysts: application to ene reactions

Copper(I), copper(II) and scandium(III) triflate complexes of BOX and PYBOX ligands have been electrostatically immobilised on silica. The performance of the immobilised catalysts, in the two carbonyl-ene reactions studied, compares very well with that of their homogeneous equivalents. The immobilised catalysts were successfully reused a number of times. In the case of a scandium complex, a variation in enantioselectivity of up to 73% was observed on immobilisation compared to its use homogeneously. The reason for this variation in enantioselectivity is explored with the aid of molecular modelling.     

Pycnalin, a new α-glucosidase inhibitor from Acer pycnanthum

A new compound, pycnalin (1), together with four known compounds, ginnalins A (2), B (3), C (4), and 3,6-di-O-galloyl-1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (3,6-di-GAG) (5), were isolated from Acer pycnanthum. The structure of 1 was determined on the basis of 2D-NMR spectral data and synthesis of 1. Pycnalin (1) is the first 1,5-anhydro-D-mannitol linked to a gallic acid, while compounds 2-5 were 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol linked to gallic acids. All compounds were tested in vitro for α-glucosidase inhibitory and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities. Pycnalin (1) exhibited moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activity as well as free radical scavenging activity. Ginnalin A (2) and 3,6-di-GAG (5), which have two galloyl groups, exhibited potent α-glucosidase inhibition, compared to those of other compounds 1, 3, and 4 containing a galloyl group. These results suggest that α-glucosidase inhibition is influenced by the number of galloyl groups.     

Enantioselective allylation of ketones catalyzed by chiral In(III)-PYBOX complexes
