Synthesis of the pivalamidate-bridged pentanuclear platinum(II,III) linear complexes with Pt...Pt interactions

Pentanuclear linear chain Pt(II,III) complexes [[Pt2(NH3)2X2((CH3)3CCONH)2(CH2COCH3)]2[PtX'4]].nCH3COCH3 (X = X' = Cl, n = 2 (1a), X = Cl, X' = Br, n = 1 (1b), X = Br, X' = Cl, n = 2 (1c), X = X' = Br, n = 1 (1d)) composed of a monomeric Pt(II) complex sandwiched by two amidate-bridged Pt dimers were synthesized from the reaction of the acetonyl dinuclear Pt(III) complexes having equatorial halide ligands [Pt2(NH3)2X2((CH3)3CCONH)2(CH2COCH3)]X' ' (X = Cl (2a), Br (2b), X' ' = NO3-, CH3C6H4SO3-, BF4-, PF6-, ClO4-), with K2[PtX'4] (X' = Cl, Br). The X-ray structures of 1a-1d show that the complexes have metal-metal bonded linear Pt5 structures, and the oxidation state of the metals is approximately Pt(III)-Pt(III)...Pt(II)...Pt(III)-Pt(III). The Pt...Pt interactions between the dimer units and the monomer are due to the induced Pt(II)-Pt(IV) polarization of the Pt(III) dimeric unit caused by the electron withdrawal of the equatorial halide ligands. The density functional theory calculation clearly shows that the Pt...Pt interactions between the dimers and the monomer are made by the electron transfer from the monomer to the dimers. The pentanuclear complexes have flexible Pt backbones with the Pt chain adopting either arch or sigmoid structures depending on the crystal packing.     

Efficient syntheses of 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (cladribine) from 2'-deoxyguanosine(1)

We report efficient syntheses of the clinical agent cladribine (2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine, CldAdo), which is the drug of choice against hairy-cell leukemia and other neoplasms, from 2'-deoxyguanosine. Treatment of 3',5'-di-O-acetyl- or benzoyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (1) with 2,4,6-triisopropyl- or 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride gave high yields of the 6-O-arylsulfonyl derivatives 2 or 2'b. Deoxychlorination at C6 of 1 also proceeded to give the 2-amino-6-chloropurine derivative 5 in excellent yields. The nonaqueous diazotization/chloro dediazoniation (acetyl chloride/benzyltriethylammonium nitrite) of 2, 2'b, and 5 gave the 2-chloropurine derivatives 3, 3'b, and 6, respectively. The selective ammonolysis at C6 (arylsulfonate with 3 or chloride with 6) and accompanying deprotection of the sugar moiety gave CldAdo (64-75% overall yield from 1).     

Tetrachloro- and Tetrabromostibonium(V) Cations: Raman and (19)F, (121)Sb, and (123)Sb NMR Spectroscopic Characterization and X-ray Crystal Structures of SbCl(4)(+)Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-) and SbBr(4)(+)Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-)

The stable salts, SbCl(4)(+)Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-) and SbBr(4)(+)Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-), have been prepared by oxidation of Sb(OTeF(5))(3) with Cl(2) and Br(2), respectively. The SbBr(4)(+) cation is reported for the first time and is only the second example of a tetrahalostibonium(V) cation. The SbCl(4)(+) cation had been previously characterized as the Sb(2)F(11)(-), Sb(2)Cl(2)F(9)(-), and Sb(2)Cl(0.5)F(10.5)(-) salts. Both Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-) salts have been characterized in the solid state by low-temperature Raman spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Owing to the weakly coordinating nature of the Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-) anion, both salts are readily soluble in SO(2)ClF and have been characterized in solution by (121)Sb, (123)Sb, and (19)F NMR spectroscopy. The tetrahedral environments around the Sb atoms of the cations result in low electric field gradients at the quadrupolar (121)Sb and (123)Sb nuclei and correspondingly long relaxation times, allowing the first solution NMR characterization of a tetrahalocation of the heavy pnicogens. The following crystal structures are reported: SbCl(4)(+)Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-), trigonal system, space group P&thremacr;, a = 10.022(1) ?, c = 18.995(4) ?, V = 1652.3(6) ?(3), D(calc) = 3.652 g cm(-)(3), Z = 2, R(1) = 0.0461; SbBr(4)(+)Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-), trigonal system, space group P&thremacr;, a = 10.206(1) ?, c = 19.297(3) ?, V = 1740.9(5) ?(3), D(calc) = 3.806 g cm(-)(3), Z = 2, R(1) = 0.0425. The crystal structures of both Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-) salts are similar and reveal considerably weaker interactions between anion and cation than in previously known SbCl(4)(+) salts. Both cations are undistorted tetrahedra with bond lengths of 2.221(3) ? for SbCl(4)(+) and 2.385(2) ? for SbBr(4)(+). The Raman spectra are consistent with undistorted SbX(4)(+) tetrahedra and have been assigned under T(d)() point symmetry. Trends within groups 15 and 17 are noted among the general valence force constants of the PI(4)(+), AsF(4)(+), AsBr(4)(+), AsI(4)(+), SbCl(4)(+) and SbBr(4)(+) cations, which have been calculated for the first time, and the previously determined force constants for NF(4)(+), NCl(4)(+), PF(4)(+), PCl(4)(+), PBr(4)(+), and AsCl(4)(+), which have been recalculated for the P and As cations in the present study. The SbCl(4)(+) salt is stable in SO(2)ClF solution, whereas the SbBr(4)(+) salt decomposes slowly in SO(2)ClF at room temperature and rapidly in the presence of Br(-) ion and in CH(3)CN solution at low temperatures. The major products of the decompositions are SbBr(2)(+)Sb(OTeF(5))(6)(-), as an adduct with CH(3)CN in CH(3)CN solvent, and Br(2).     

High-pressure- and low-temperature-induced changes in [(CH3)2NH(CH2)2NH3][SbCl5

The structure of N,N-dimethylethylenediammonium pentachloroantimonate(III), [(CH3)2NH(CH2)2NH3][SbCl5], NNDP, was investigated at 100 and 15 K at ambient pressure, as well as at pressures up to 4.00 GPa at room temperature in the diamond-anvil cell. The stable structure at low temperatures and low pressures consists of isolated [SbCl5]2- anions and [(CH3)2NH(CH2)2NH3]2+ cations. The inorganic anions have a distorted square pyramidal geometry. They are arranged in linear chains parallel to the c axis. In contrast to the low-temperature studies, where no phase transition was detected, pressure induces a P2(1)/c --> P2(1)/n phase transition between 0.55 and 1.00 GPa, accompanied by a doubling of the a unit-cell parameter. This solid-solid transition results from changes in the electron configuration of the Sb(III) atom and formation of the Sb-Cl bridging bonds between inorganic polyhedra to form, at approximately 1.0 GPa, isolated [Sb2Cl10]4- units consisting of [SbCl6]3- octahedra and [SbCl5]2- square pyramids connected by a common corner. The intermolecular distances continuously decrease with further increase in pressure, and at approximately 3.1 GPa, zigzag [{SbCl5}n]2n- chains containing corner-sharing [SbCl6]3- octahedra are formed. The unit-cell volume of NNDP decreases by 18.15% between room pressure and 4.00 GPa. The linear distortions of the [SbCl5]2- and [SbCl6]3- polyhedra decrease with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature and indicate a reduction in the stereochemical activity of the lone electron pair on the Sb(III) atom.     

Nucleic acid related compounds. 118. Nonaqueous diazotization of aminopurine derivatives. Convenient access to 6-halo- and 2,6-dihalopurine nucleosides and 2'-deoxynucleosides with acyl or silyl halides

Treatment of 9-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-d-ribofuranosyl)-2-amino-6-chloropurine (1) with TMS-Cl and benzyltriethylammonium nitrite (BTEA-NO2) in dichloromethane gave the crystalline 2,6-dichloropurine nucleoside 2, and acetyl chloride/BTEA-NO2 was equally effective ( approximately 85%, without chromatography). TMS-Br/tert-butyl nitrite/dibromomethane gave crystalline 2-bromo-6-chloro analogue 3 (85%). (Chloro or bromo)-dediazoniation of 3',5'-di-O-acetyl-2'-deoxyadenosine (4) gave the 6-[chloro (5, 63%) or bromo (6, 80%)]purine deoxynucleosides, and 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyladenosine (8) was converted into the 6-chloropurine nucleoside 9 (71%).     

Nucleosides. CXXXV. Synthesis of some 9-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-9H-purines and their biological activities

Seven purine nucleosides containing the 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl moiety were synthesized and tested for their antitumor activity. Direct condensation of 3-O-acetyl-5-O-benzoyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-arabinofuranosyl bromide (1) with N6-benzoyladenine in CH2Cl2 followed by saponification of the product afforded the adenine nucleoside (I, 2'-F-ara-A). Deamination of I with NaNO2 in HOAc gave the hypoxanthine analogue (II, 2'-F-ara-H). The 6-thiopurine nucleoside (III, 2'-F-ara-6MP) was prepared by condensation of 1 with 6-chloropurine by the mercury procedure followed by thiourea treatment and saponification of the product. Methylation of III gave the 6-SCH3 analogue (IV). Raney Ni desulfurization of III afforded the unsubstituted purine nucleoside (V, 2'-F-ara-P). Condensation of 1 with 2-acetamido-6-chloropurine by the silyl procedure afforded the protected 2-acetamido-6-chloropurine nucleoside which served as the precursor for both the guanine and 6-thioguanine nucleosides (VI, 2'-F-ara-G and VII, 2'-F-ara-TG, respectively). Thus, alkaline hydrolysis of the precursor gave VI. Thiourea treatment prior to alkaline hydrolysis gave VII. The new nucleoside, 2'-F-ara-G (VI) is found to be selectively toxic to human T-cell leukemia CCRF-CEM.     

Mild and efficient functionalization at C6 of purine 2'-deoxynucleosides and ribonucleosides

[reaction: see text] Treatment of sugar-protected inosine and 2'-deoxyinosine derivatives with a cyclic secondary amine or imidazole and I(2)/Ph(3)P/EtN(i-Pr)(2)/(CH(2)Cl(2) or toluene) gave quantitative conversions into 6-N-(substituted)purine nucleosides. S(N)Ar reactions with 6-(imidazol-1-yl) derivatives gave 6-(N, O, or S)-substituted products. The 6-(benzylsulfonyl) group underwent S(N)Ar displacement with an arylamine at ambient temperature.     

1,2-dithiin annelated with bicyclo[2.2.2]octene frameworks. One-electron and two-electron oxidations and formation of a novel 2,3,5,6-tetrathiabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene radical cation with remarkable stability owing to a strong transannular interaction

A stable derivative of 1,2-dithiin annelated with bicyclo[2.2.2]octene frameworks 4 was synthesized as red crystals by the reaction of a dilithiated dimer of bicyclo[2.2.2]octene with elemental sulfur in 59% yield. The cyclic voltammetry of 4 in CH(2)Cl(2) at -78 degrees C showed two reversible oxidation waves at E(1/2) +0.18 V and +0.72 V versus Fc/Fc(+), indicating that the radical cation and dication of 4 are stable under these conditions. Upon chemical one-electron oxidation of 4 in a rather low concentration (4.0 x 10(-4) M) with a 1.5 equiv of SbCl(5) in CH(2)Cl(2), a radical cation 4.+ was formed, whose spin distribution was determined by ESR spectroscopy and by the results of theoretical calculations (UB3LYP/6-31G). The electronic absorption spectrum of 4.+ in CH(2)Cl(2) exhibited a maximum absorption at 428 nm (epsilon = 2.3 x 10(3)), which was hypsochromically shifted from that of neutral 4 (469 nm). When the radical cation 4.+ was produced in higher concentration (0.06 M) in CH(2)Cl(2), a disproportionation was found to take place to give a SbCl(6)(-) salt of remarkably stable radical cation 5.+ having a novel 2,3,5,6-tetrathiabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene structure. In the X-ray structure of 5.+SbCl(6)(-), the transannular distance (2.794(3) A) between the sulfur atoms was found to be less than the sum of the van der Waals radii of a sulfur atom (3.70 A), suggesting the existence of a bonding interaction between the two disulfide linkages. The theoretical calculations (UB3LYP/6-31G) suggested that this transannular interaction could be described as the resonance between the limiting structures, each of them having a two-center three-electron bond between two sulfur atoms belonging to two different disulfide linkages: thus, both the spin and positive charge are equally delocalized to the four sulfur atoms, causing a great stabilization of 5.+. On the other hand, the 1,2-dithiin radical cation 4.+ was found to readily react with triplet oxygen with subsequent rearrangement to give the 1,2-dithiolium derivative 6+ having a carboxyl group. Finally, the reaction of 4 with an excess amount of SbF(5) gave the corresponding dication 4(2+), which was found to be a 6pi aromatic system on the basis of the results of NMR measurement and theoretical calculations.     

Neue Synthesen von Me2SbX (X = Cl,I) und Kristallstrukturen von Me2SbI und [(Me3Si)2CH]2SbCl

Novel Syntheses of Me₂SbX (X = Cl, I) and Crystal Structures of Me₂SbI and [(Me₃Si)₂CH]₂SbCl The crystal structures of Me₂SbI (Me = CH₃) and [(Me₃Si)₂CH]₂SbCl have been determined by X‐ray methods. Both molecules are pyramidal. The Me₂SbI molecules are associated to chains through short intermolecular Sb…I distances (366,7(1) pm) with linear I–Sb…I units (171,87(4)°) and bent Sb–I…Sb bridges (116,83(3)°).     

Halide and nitrite recognizing hexanuclear metallacycle copper(II) pyrazolates

Halide-centered hexanuclear, anionic copper(II) pyrazolate complexes [trans-Cu(6)((3,5-CF(3))(2)pz)(6)(OH)(6)X](-), X = Cl, Br, I are isolated in a good yield from the redox reaction of the trinuclear copper(I) pyrazolate complex [μ-Cu(3)((3,5-CF(3))(2)pz)(3)] with a halide source such as PPh(3)AuCl or [Bu(4)N]X, X = Cl, Br, or I, in air. X-ray structures of the anion-centered hexanuclear complexes show that the six copper atoms are bridged by bis(3,5-trifluoromethyl)pyrazolate and hydroxyl ligands above and below the six copper atom plane. The anions are located at the center of the cavity and weakly bound to the six copper atoms in a μ(6)-arrangement, Cu-X = ~3.1 ?. A nitrite-centered hexanuclear copper(II) pyrazolate complex [trans-Cu(6)((3,5-CF(3))(2)pz)(6)(OH)(6)(NO(2))](-) was obtained when a solution of [PPN]NO(2) in CH(3)CN was added dropwise to the trinuclear copper(I) pyrazolate complex [μ-Cu(3)((3,5-CF(3))(2)pz)(3)] dissolved in CH(3)CN, in air. Blue crystals are produced by slow evaporation of the acetonitrile solvent. The X-ray structure of [PPN][trans-Cu(6)((3,5-CF(3))(2)pz)(6)(OH)(6)(NO(2))] complex shows the nitrite anion sits in the hexanuclear cavity and is perpendicular to the copper plane with a O-N-O angle of 118.3(7)°. The (19)F and (1)H NMR of the pyrazolate ring atoms are sensitive to the anion present in the ring. Anion exchange of the NO(2)(-) by Cl(-) can be observed easily by (1)H NMR.     

Syntheses, structures and DFT study of [W(CO)5(Ph2SbX)] X = Cl, Br, I

The complexes [W(CO)₅(Ph₂SbX)], X = Cl (1), Br (2) and I (3) were prepared by reaction of [W(CO)₅(tetrahydrofuran)] with Ph₂SbX. The structures of 1-3 were studied by X-ray diffraction. In the crystals there are weak contacts between the oxygen atoms of the CO ligands and antimony atoms of neighbouring molecules. DFT calculations were carried out for 1 using gradient corrected functional B3LYP. The bonding between Ph₂SbCl and the W(CO)₅ fragment in 1 was analysed using charge decomposition analysis.     

Anion recognition of chloride and bromide by a rigid dicobalt(II) cryptate

The crystal structures of [Co 2L(Cl)](ClO 4) 3 ( 1), [Co 2L(Br)](ClO 4) 3 ( 2), [Co 2L(OH)(OH 2)]I 3 ( 3), and [Co 2L (1)(Cl)](ClO 4) 3 ( 4), the density functional theory calculations, as well as the binding constants of [Co 2L] (4+) toward Cl (-) and Br (-) and of [Co 2L (1)] (4+) toward Cl (-), are reported in this paper (L = N[(CH 2) 2NHCH 2(C 6H 4- p)CH 2NH(CH 2) 2] 3N, L (1) = N[(CH 2) 2NHCH 2(C 6H 4- m)CH 2NH(CH 2) 2] 3N). The rigid dicobalt(II) cryptate [Co 2L] (4+) shows the recognition of Cl (-) and Br (-) but not of F (-) and I (-), because of the size matching to its rigid cavity. We also found that the relative rigid tripodal skeleton of L than that of L (1) results in the higher affinity of [Co 2L] (4+) toward Cl (-). Magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1 and 2 indicate that the two Co(II) atoms in the cryptates are antiferromagnetically coupled through the Cl (-)/Br (-) bridge, with g = 2.19, J = -13.7 cm (-1) for 1, and g = 2.22, J = -17.1 cm (-1) for 2.     

Halide coordination of perhalocyclohexasilane Si6X12 (X=Cl or Br)

The addition of halide anions (X' = Cl(-), Br(-), or I(-)) to perhalocyclohexasilane Si(6)X(12) (X = Cl or Br) led to the formation of complexes comprising [Si(6)X(12)X'(2)](2-) dianions. An upfield shift in the (29)Si NMR spectra was noted upon coordination, and structural determination by X-ray crystallography showed that the dianions adopt an "inverse sandwich" structure where the six cyclic silicon atoms form a planar hexagon with the two halide anions X' located on the 6-fold axis equally disposed above and below the plane of the Si(6) ring. Additionally, these apical X' atoms are within the van der Waals bonding distance to the silicon ring atoms, indicating a strong interaction between X' and silicon atoms. These results detail crystallographic variations within the halogen series providing further insight into the nature of the Lewis acid sites above and below the Si(6)X(12) ring, where interactions with hard Lewis bases such as halide anions are observed. Interestingly, the stereochemistry of the silicon atoms in [Si(6)X(12)X'(2)](2-) is not affected much by the size or electronegativity of the halogen atoms.     

Comparative kinetics and mechanism of oxygen and sulfur atom transfer reactions mediated by bis(dithiolene) complexes of molybdenum and tungsten

Although the kinetics and mechanism of metal-mediated oxygen atom (oxo) transfer reactions have been examined in some detail, sulfur atom (sulfido) transfer reactions have not been similarly scrutinized. The reactions [M(IV)(O-p-C(6)H(4)X')(S(2)C(2)Me(2))(2)](1-) + Ph(3)AsQ --> [M(VI)Q(O-p-C(6)H(4)X')(S(2)C(2)Me(2))(2)](1-) + Ph(3)As (M = Mo, W; Q = O, S) with variable substituent X' have been investigated in acetonitrile in order to determine the relative rates of oxo versus sulfido transfer at constant structure (square pyramidal) of the atom acceptor and of atom transfer at constant structure of the atom donor and metal variability of the atom acceptor. All reactions exhibit second-order kinetics and entropies of activation (-25 to -45 eu) consistent with an associative transition state. At parity of atom acceptor, k(2)(S) (0.25-0.75 M(-1)s(-1)) > k(2)(O) (0.023-0.060 M(-1)s(-1)) with M = Mo and k(2)(S) (4.1-66.7 M(-1)s(-1)) > k(2)(O) (1.8-9.8 M(-1)s(-1)) with M = W. At constant atom donor and X', k(2)(W) > k(2)(Mo) with reactivity ratios k(2)(W)/k(2)(Mo) = 78-184 (Q = O) and 16-89 (Q = S). Rate constants refer to 298 K. At constant M and Q, rates increase in the order X' = Me less, similar OMe < H < Br < COMe < CN; increasing electron-withdrawing propensity accelerates reaction rates. The probable transition state involves significant Ph(3)AsQ...M bond-making (X' rate trend) and concomitant As-Q bond weakening (bond energy order As-O > As-S). Orders of oxo and sulfido donor ability of substrates and complexes are deduced on the basis of qualitative reactivity properties determined here and elsewhere. This work complements previous studies of the reaction systems [M(IV)(O-p-C(6)H(4)X')(S(2)C(2)Me(2))(2)](1-)/XO where the substrates are N-oxides and S-oxides and k(2)(W) > k(2)(Mo) at constant substrate also applies. The reaction order of substrates is Me(3)NO > (CH(2))(4)SO > Ph(3)AsS > Ph(3)AsO. This research provides the first quantitative information of metal-mediated sulfido transfer.     

Theoretical study of structure, stability and infrared spectra of CH3X-SO3 (X = F, Cl, Br) complexes

Ab initio computational study of the electronic structure and infrared spectra of donor-acceptor complexes formed between SO3 and CH3X (X = F, Cl, Br) molecules was carried out at the MP2(full)/6-31G(d) level of theory. The calculated complexation energy at G2MP2 level shows that stability of complexes decrease, as CH3Cl-SO3 > CH3Br-SO3 > CH3F-SO3. The NBO partitioning scheme show that the lengthening of the C-F, C-Cl, and C-Br bond lengths, upon complexation, is due to an decreasing "s" character in these bonds.     

Preparation and coordinating properties of {CH2(o-C6H4CH2SbMe2)}2, a novel wide-angle cis-chelating distibine

The unique wide-angle distibine, {CH2(o-C6H4CH2SbMe2)}2, has been prepared indirectly by reaction of Me2SbCl with the di-Grignard formed unexpectedly by coupling of o-C6H4(CH2MgCl)2 in concentrated thf solution, and directly by treatment of the {CH2(o-C6H4CH2MgCl)}2 with Me2SbCl. The very oxygen-sensitive distibine has been characterised by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution EIMS. Oxidation of with Br2 gives the air-stable tetrabromide {CH2(o-C6H4CH2SbMe2Br2)}2. Surprisingly, shows a very strong tendency to function as a cis-chelate, e.g. to Pt(IV) in the complex [PtMe3I], forming an 11-membered ring and providing a stable Pt(IV) stibine complex, the crystal structure of which shows the Sb-Pt-Sb angle to be 95.96(1) degrees. The yellow Pt(II) complex [PtCl2] is obtained from reaction of [PtCl2(MeCN)2] with and IR spectroscopic data and a crystal structure determination confirm the Cl ligands are mutually cis in this species. Reaction of [W(CO)4(piperidine)2] with in refluxing EtOH gives [W(CO)4], the IR spectrum of which shows four nu(CO) bands, also consistent with cis-Sb2 coordination. The cis-chelation is also confirmed by single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of two polymorphs of [W(CO)4].     

Magnetic interactions in the high-spin iron(III) oxooctaethylchlorinato derivative [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)] and its pi-cation radical [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6

The preparation and characterization of the beta-oxochlorin derivative [3,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-(3H)-porphin-2-onato(2-)]iron(III) chloride, [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)], and its pi-cation radical derivative [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6 is described. Both compounds have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determinations, IR, UV/vis/near-IR, and M?ssbauer spectroscopies, and temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements. The macrocycles of [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)] and [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6 are both saddled, and [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]-SbCl6 is slightly ruffled as well. [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)] shows a laterally shifted dimeric unit in the solid state, with a mean plane separation of 3.39 A and a lateral shift of 7.39 A. Crystal data for [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)]: triclinic, space group P1, Z = 2, a = 9.174(2) A, b = 13.522(3) A, c = 14.838(3) A, alpha = 95.79(3) degrees, beta = 101.46(2) degrees, gamma = 104.84(3) degrees. Upon oxidation, the inter-ring geometric parameters increase; the mean plane separation and the lateral shift of the dimeric unit of [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6 are 4.82 and 8.79 A, respectively. Crystal data for [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6: monoclinic, space group Cc, Z = 4, a = 19.8419(13) A, b = 10.027(2) A, c = 22.417(4) A, beta = 96.13(2) degrees. A broad near-IR absorption band appears at 1415 nm for the pi-cation radical, [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6. Zero-field M?ssbauer measurements at 4.2 K for both [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)] and [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6 confirmed that the oxidation state of the iron atom did not change upon chemical oxidation. Solid-state magnetic susceptibility measurements for [Fe(oxoOEC.)(Cl)]SbCl6 resulted in a large temperature dependence of the magnetic moment that can best be fit with a model that includes a zero-field splitting parameter of D = 6 cm-1, antiferromagnetic intermolecular iron-iron coupling (2JFe-Fe = -0.14 cm-1), antiferromagnetic intramolecular iron-radical coupling (2JFe-r = -76 cm-1), and antiferromagnetic radical-radical coupling (2Jr-r = -13 cm-1).     

Furan derivatives-IX : A convenient new method of arylation of furan reaction of diazoaminobenzenes with furan and isopentyl nitrite

A convenient new method for the arylation of furan with derivatives of diazoaminobenzene and isoamyl nitrite is described. Using this method the substituted 2-(X-phenyl)furan derivatives, where X is H, 4-CH₃, 4-Cl, 4-Br, 3-Cl, 3,4-diCl, 4-NO₂, 4-COOCH₃, 4-COOH, 4-Cl-3-CF₃ and 2-(3-pyridyl)furan were prepared. The reaction of methyl 4-aminobenzoate with furan and isopentyl nitrite gave (besides 2-(4-carbmethoxyphenyl)furan) 4,4′-dicarbmethoxydiazoaminobenzene, the structure of which was proved by mass spectrometry and by synthesis. This diazoaminobenzene derivative was unstable in the reaction medium and with isopentyl nitrite and furan at 30° gave 2-(4-carbmethoxyphenyl)furan. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed.     

An investigation into the allylic imidate rearrangement of trichloroacetimidates catalysed by cobalt oxazoline palladacycles

Dimeric palladacycles, di-mu-X-bis[{eta(5)-(S)-((p)R)-2-[2'-(4'-methylethyl)oxazolinyl]cyclopentadienyl,1-C,3'-N}(eta(4)-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt]dipalladium (COP-X), containing bridging groups X=OAc, Cl, Br, I, O(2)CCF(3), p-O(2)CC(6)H(4)F, were synthesised and compared as catalysts for the asymmetric allylic imidate rearrangement of (E)-Cl(3)CC(=NH)OCH(2)CH=CHR with R=nPr. The enantiomeric excess of the product (S)-Cl(3)CC(=O)NHCHRCH=CH(2) was essentially invariant of X (93-96%) and the yield increased in the sequence I相似文献   

Synthesis, structural characterization, and biological studies of new antimony(III) complexes with thiones. The influence of the solvent on the geometry of the complexes

Five new antimony(III) complexes with the heterocyclic thiones 2-mercapto-benzimidazole (MBZIM), 5-ethoxy-2-mercapto-benzimidazole (EtMBZIM), and 2-mercapto-thiazolidine (MTZD) of formulas {[SbCl(2)(MBZIM)4]+.Cl-.2H(2)O. (CH(3)OH)} (1), {[SbCl(2)(MBZIM)4]+.Cl-.3H(2)O.(CH3CN)} (2), [SbCl(3)(MBZIM)2] (3), [SbCl(3)(EtMBZIM)(2)] (4), and [SbCl(3)(MTZD)2] (5) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, far-FT-IR, differential thermal analysis-thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and conductivity measurements. Complex {[SbCl2(tHPMT)(2)]+Cl-}, (tHPMT = 2-mercapto-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-pyrimidine), already known, was also prepared, and its X-ray crystal structure was solved. It is shown that the complex is better described as {[SbCl3(tHPMT)(2)]} (6). Crystal structures of all other complexes (1-5) have also been determined by X-ray diffraction at ambient conditions. The crystal structure of the hydrated ligand, EtMBZIM.H2O is also reported. Compound [C(28)H(24)Cl(2)N(8)S(4)Sb.2H(2)O.Cl.(CH(3)OH)] (1) crystallizes in space group P2(1), with a = 7.7398(8) A, b = 16.724(3) A, c = 13.717(2) A, beta = 98.632(11) degrees, and Z = 2. Complex [C(28)H(24)Cl(2)N(8)S(4)S(b).Cl.3H(2)O.(CH(3)CN)] (2) corresponds to space group P2(1), with a = 7.8216(8) A, b = 16.7426(17) A, c = 13.9375(16) A, beta = 99.218(10) degrees , and Z = 2. In both 1 and 2 complexes, four sulfur atoms from thione ligands and two chloride ions form an octahedral (Oh) cationic [SbS(4)Cl(2)]+ complex ion, where chlorides lie at axial positions. A third chloride counteranion neutralizes it. Complexes 1 and 2 are the first examples of antimony(III) compounds with positively charged Oh geometries. Compound [C(14)H(12)Cl(3)N(4)S(2)S(b)] (3) crystallizes in space group P, with a = 7.3034(5) A, b = 11.2277(7) A, c = 12.0172(8) A, alpha = 76.772(5) degrees, beta = 77.101(6) degrees, gamma = 87.450(5) degrees, and Z = 2. Complex [C(18)H(20)Cl(3)N(4)O(2)S(2)S(b)] (4) crystallizes in space group P1, with a = 8.6682(6) A, b = 10.6005(7) A, c = 13.0177(9) A, alpha = 84.181(6) degrees, beta = 79.358(6) degrees, gamma = 84.882(6) degrees, and Z = 2, while complex [C(6)H(10)Cl(3)N(2)S(4)S(b)] (5) in space group P2(1)/c shows a = 8.3659(10) A, b = 14.8323(19) A, c = 12.0218(13) A, beta = 99.660(12) degrees, and Z = 4 and complex [C(8)H(16)Cl(3)N(4)S(2)S(b)] (6) in space group P1 shows a = 7.4975(6) A, b = 10.3220(7) A, c = 12.1094(11) A, alpha = 71.411(7) degrees, beta = 84.244(7) degrees, gamma = 73.588(6) degrees, and Z = 2. Crystals of complexes 3-6 grown from acetonitrile solutions adopt a square-pyramidal (SP) geometry, with two sulfur atoms from thione ligands and three chloride anions around Sb(III). The equatorial plane is formed by two sulfur and two chloride atoms in complexes 3-5, in a cis-S, cis-Cl arrangement in 3 and 5 and a trans-S, trans-Cl arrangement in 4. Finally, in the case of 6, the equatorial plane is formed by three chloride ions and one sulfur from the thione ligand while the second sulfur atom takes an axial position leading to a unique SP conformation. The complexes showed a moderate cytostatic activity against tumor cell lines.
