3′-(1,2,3-Triazol-1-yl)-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine and 3′-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine

Cycloaddition of different acetylenic compounds on the azido function of 3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine and 3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine afforded products with a 1,2,3-triazol-1-yl substituent in the 3′-position. In contrast with the parent compounds, these triazolyl derivatives had no appreciable activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1).

Synthesis of ansa-2,2′-bis[(4,7-dimethyl-inden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl and nsa-2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyltitanium and -zirconium dichlorides

2,2′-Bis[(4,7-dimethyl-inden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl and [2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium and -zirconium dichlorides have been synthesized from 2,2′-bis(bromomethyl)-1,1′-binaphthylene. 2,2′-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,1′-binaphthylene was alkylated with the lithium salt of 4,7-dimethylindene to yield 2,2′-bis[1-(4,7-dimethyl-indenylmethyl)]-1,1′-binaphthylene (S)-(−)-9. The lithium salt of 9 was metalated with either titanium trichloride followed by oxidation or zirconium tetrachloride to give titanocene dichloride (S)-(+)-10 and zirconocene dichloride 11. The known complexes ansa-[2,2′-bis[(1-indenyl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium and -zirconium dichlorides were formed and hydrogenated to ansa-[2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium and -zirconium dichlorides 12 and 14 or to ansa-[2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)methyl]-5,5′,6,6′,7,7′,8,8′-octahydro-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium dichloride 13 whose solid state structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 13 adopts a C₁-symmetrical conformation in the solid state, but is conformationally mobile in solution, exhibiting C₂-symmetry in its room temperature NMR spectra.     

Mass spectra of some 2-(4′-butyl-3,′5′-dimethylpyrazol-1′-yl)-6-substituted benzothiazoles

The fragmentation of the title compounds on electron impact has been studied and the major processes interpreted. The base peak invariably appears at [M ? 43]⁺ whose origin from the butyl chain has been traced with the help of metastable ion studies and accurate mass measurements. Loss of methyl cyanide, involving the decomposition of the pyrazole moiety, is observed only from the fragment ions.     

Unexpected product distributions in the synthesis of 2,6-bis-(indazolyl)pyridine and 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-(indazolyl)pyridine

Reaction of 2-bromopyridine with 2 equiv of sodium indazolide in diglyme at 140 °C affords 2,6-bis-(indazol-1-yl)pyridine and 2-(indazol-1-yl)-6-(indazol-2-yl)pyridine in purified yields of 24% and 68% respectively. A similar reaction, using 1 equiv of sodium indazolide at 70 °C, gives a low-yield mixture of 2-(indazol-1-yl)-6-bromopyridine and 2-(indazol-2-yl)-6-bromopyridine. Both these intermediates are transformed into 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-(indazol-1-yl)pyridine and 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine upon treatment with 1 equiv of sodium pyrazolide in diglyme at 140 °C. These observations imply that the indazolyl group is a leaving group comparable to a bromo substituent under nucleophilic attack by pyrazolide or indazolide ions under these conditions. No reaction was observed between 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)-6-bromopyridine and 1 equiv of sodium indazolide under the same conditions. A single crystal structure of its iron(II) complex confirmed the regiochemistry of 2,6-bis-(indazol-1-yl)pyridine, and revealed significant conformational flexibility in the distal ligand indazolyl groups.     

Preparation and luminescence properties of tris(bipyridine) ruthenium(II)-containing vinyl polymers: Ru(bpy)2 (poly-6-vinyl-2,2′-bipyridine)Cl2 and Ru(bpy)2(poly-4-methyl-4′-vinyl-,2,2′-bipyridine)Cl2

Ruthenium (II) complex-containing polymers were prepared and characterized by absorption and luminescence spectra, luminescence quantum yield, and luminescence lifetime. The polymers are Ru(bpy)₂(poly-6-vinyl-2,′2-bipyridine)CI₂ ( 1 ) and Ru(bpy)₂(poly-4-methyl-4′-methyl-4′ -vinyl-2,2′-bipyridine)CI₂ ( 2 ). The absorption spectra and luminescence spectra of polymers 1 and 2 were substantially the same as that of Ru(bpy)₃CI₂. The lifetime of polymers 1 and 2 was similar to that of the respective monomer model compounds. The lifetime of polymer 1 was very short (ca. 13 ns) in comparison to Ru(bpy)₃CI₂ (660 ns), whereas the lifetime of polymer 2 (660 ns) was similar to that of Ru(bpy)₃CI₂. The temperature-dependency of the lifetime was discussed in terms of Watts' model.     

Convenient synthesis of tridentate 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-4-carboxypyridine and tetradentate 6,6′-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridine ligands

Citrazinic acid is used as a convenient starting material for both tridentate 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-pyridine and tetradentate 6,6′-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine ligands containing carboxylic groups useful for further anchoring of sensitizer on TiO₂ for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Using 2,6-dichloro-4-carboxypyridine, the synthesis of the terdentate ligands was improved compared to previously used 2,6-dibromo-4-carboxypyridine or 2,6-dichloro-4-ethylcarboxylate pyridine. Controlling the reaction conditions, it is possible to efficiently obtain the monosubstituted 2-chloro-6-pyrazol-1-yl-4-carboxypyridine, a key intermediate for the preparation of tetradentate 6,6′-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridine ligand.     

5-(α-Fluorovinyl)tryptamines and 5-(α-Fluorovinyl)-3-(N-methyl-1′,2′,5′,6′,-tetrahydropyridin-3′- and -4′-yl)indoles—5-(α-Fluorovinyl)tryptamines

The target compounds are bioisosteres of 5-carboxyamido substituted tryptamines and their tetrahydropyridyl analogs.     

Synthesis of 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-4-bromomethylpyridine, and its conversion to other 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridines substituted at the pyridine ring

Two routes to 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-4-hydroxymethylpyridine (1) from 2,6-dihydroxy-isonicotinic acid, in four and six steps, are reported. Reaction of 1 with 48% HBr yields 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)-4-bromomethylpyridine (2), which is a powerful precursor to a range of new tridentate ligands for transition metals functionalised at the pyridine ring. As a proof of principle, we describe the further elaboration of 2 to give two 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridines bearing nucleobase substituents, and the back-to-back ligand 1,2-bis[2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyrid-4-yl]ethane. Crystal structures of two of these new derivatives are presented.

The dinucleoside phosphate Π_dpΠ_d ( 4 ) was synthesized from the monomers 1-(5′-O-monomethoxytrityl - 2′ - deoxy - β - D - ribofuranosyl) - 2 (1 H) - pyridone ((MeOTr) Π_d, 2 ) and 1-(5′-O-phosphoryl-3′-O-acetyl-2′-deoxy-β-D -ribofuranosyl)-(1H)-pyridone (pΠ_d(Ac), 3 ). Its 6.4% hyperchromicity and an analysis of the ¹H-NMR. spectra indicate that the conformation and the base-base interactions in 4 are similar to those in natural pyrimidine dinucleoside phosphates.

Reactions of the flexible α,ω-bis(pyrazol-1-yl) compounds 1,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)ethane (L1), 1,8-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-n-octane (L2), bis[2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl]ether (L3) and bis[2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl]thioether (L4) with precursor organometallic platinum complexes ([(PtBr₂Me₂)_n], [(PtIMe₃)₄] and [(PtMe₂(cod)]/I₂) are described herein. The spectroscopic characterization of the platinum(IV) products of these reactions [PtBr₂Me₂{pz(CH₂)_mpz}], m = 2 (1) or 8 (2), [PtI₂Me₂{pz(CH₂)₂pz}] (3), [PtMe₃(pzCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂pz)][BF₄] (4) and [PtMe₃(pzCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂pz)][CF₃SO₃] (5), where ‘pz’ is pyrazol-1-yl, is discussed. Furthermore, solid state structures of 1, a complex with a seven-membered chelate ring, and 4, a complex bearing the neutral κ²N,N′,κO ligand bis[2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl]ether (L3) are reported.

Phosphonate building blocks of 1 were employed in solid-phase synthesis of self-complementary base-modified oligonucleotides. Their properties were studied with regard to duplex stability and hydrolysis by the restriction enzyme Eco RI.     

(6′RS,8′RS,2E)- und (6′RS,8′SR,2E)-3-Methyl-3-(2y,2′,6′-trimethyl-7′-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]non-9′-en-8′-yl)-2-propenal ([(5RS,8RS)- und (5RS,8SR)-5,8-Epoxy-5,8-dihydro-ionyloinden]acetaldehyd): Synthese und Röntgenstrukturanalyse

Synthesis and X-Ray Structure of (6′RS,8′RS,2E)- and (6′RS,8′SR,2E)-3-Methyl-3-(2′,2′,6′-trimethyl-7′-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]non-9′-en-8′-yl)-2-propenal ([(5RS,8RS)- and (5RS,8SR)-5,8-Epoxy-5,8-dihydro-ionylidene]acetaldehyde) To check our previous spectroscopic assignments of the structures of trans- and cis-substituted furanoid end groups of carotenoid-5,8-epoxides, we now have synthesized the title compounds. An X-ray structure determination of a single crystal of the trans-isomer (±)- -10A is in agreement with the ¹ H-NMR spectroscopic arguments: isomers with Δδ (H? C(7), H? C(8)) = 0.15–0.22 ppm and J > 1.4 for H? C(7) belong to the cis-series; Δδ in trans-compounds is < 0.07 ppm, and H? C(7) appears as a broad singulett.

A series of 2-substituted 4-oxo-3-thiazolidinylalkanoic acids bearing an isoxazole nucleus in the 2-position have been prepared. None of the compounds synthesised showed antibacterial activity in vitro.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties of Cyclotriphosphazenes Containing 6-（4-Hydroxyphenyl）-2,2′-bipyridine Side Groups

Two novel cyclotriphosphazene derivatives containing 6- （4-hydroxyphenyl）-2,2′-bipyridine （hopbp） side groups, N3 P3 （dobp） 2 （hopbp） 2 （ 1 ） and N3 P3 （dobp） （hopbp） 4 （2） （ dobp = 2,2′-dioxybiphenyl）, were synthesized and characterized. These compounds display strong fluorescent emission both in solution and in solid state. Their absorption and emission spectra are sensitive to proton： the addition of HBF4 to the methanol and dichloromethane solution（9： 1, volume ratio） of compound 1 led to a red-shift from 350 to 460 nm for the emission spectrum, and the process was also characterized by isosbestic points of absorption spectra at 267, 287 and 313 nm.
