Synthesis,structures and properties ofN-(trihalogermylmethyl)-substituted amides,lactams and imides,the derivatives of the five-coordinate germanium

The formation of trichlorogermyl-substituted amides, lactams, and imides occurs when 2Et₂O·HGeCl₃ is condensed with compounds possessing the -NCH₂Cl fragment and equally well when HGeCl₃ interacts with compounds containing -NCH₂OH and-NCH₂OSiMe₃ groups. In some cases, the use of the latter is more advantageous from the preparative point of view. In compounds thus obtained, the germanium is five-coordinate due to the coordination .

Quantum chemical study of the transformation of 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides by protic acids: Tandem hydride transfer/cyclization mechanism

The geometric parameters, the charge distribution, and the energetics of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and their conjugated acids were studied by density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The mechanism of the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization sequence, which occurs after protonation of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides, was analyzed. The investigation of the potential energy surface for the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization of the iminium cation that formed upon protonation revealed that the hydride transfer followed by intramolecular cyclization at position 7 of the indole fragment in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)maleimide is the preferable process, unlike alternative intramolecular cyclization involving the cationic center at the C(2) atom of the indole fragment and the benzene ring of the N-ethylaniline fragment of the indoleninium cation in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimide. A study of the key intermediates of the assumed reaction mechanism demonstrated that these intermediates are actually stationary points on the potential energy surface (minima and transition states).

Cavity size effect on ICT-dual emission of p-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2-styrylquinoline: complexation with cyclodextrin derivatives

The effect of cyclodextrin inclusion complex formation on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of the included 4-N,N-dimethylamino-2-strylquinoline (2-StQ-NMe₂) has been studied in detail. 2-StQ-NMe₂ in presence of α-, β-, γ- and HP-α- and Hp-β-CDs predominantly exhibits ICT fluorescence predominantly than the emission from locally excited state, whereas in presence of HP-γ-CD the later is observed. In presence of α-CD, 2:1 complexation of the 2-StQ-NMe₂ is observed in addition to 1:1 complexation. The observed results are explained by the CD cavity size and an active role for the secondary hydroxyl groups present in the wider rim of the CD cavity and also which finds support from absorption, emission, lifetime and molecular modeling studies.

For the reaction of compound 1a with 3-(N,N-diethylamino)propylamine, the process occurs in a different manner, and the predominant product is 4-ethylaminopropyl-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro[1,4]diazepino[6,5-b]indole hydrocloride (14). Two routes of these unexpected transformations were proposed. The structures of the synthesized products were proved by the ¹sH and ¹³C NMR, HMBC, and HSQC (direct proton-carbon correlation) spectra.
