Transition-Metal Free Electrophilic Aminations of Polyfunctional O-2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoyl Hydroxylamines with Zinc and Magnesium Organometallics

We reported a new electrophilic amination of various primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl, benzylic, allylic zinc and magnesium organometallics with O-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl hydroxylamines (O-TBHAs) in 52–99 % yield. These O-TBHAs displayed an excellent long-term stability and were readily prepared from various highly functionalized secondary amines via a convenient 3 step procedure. The amination reactions showed remarkable chemoselectivity proceeding without any transition-metal catalyst and were usually complete after 1–3 h reaction time at 25 °C. Furthermore, this electrophilic amination also provided access to enantioenriched tertiary amines (up to 88 % ee) by using optically enriched secondary alkylmagnesium reagents of the type s-AlkylMgCH₂SiMe₃.     

Full Functionalization of the Imidazole Scaffold by Selective Metalation and Sulfoxide/Magnesium Exchange

A simple, flexible, and straightforward method for the functionalization of all the positions of the imidazole heterocycle through regioselective arylations, allylations, acylations, and additions to aldehydes is disclosed. Starting from the readily available key imidazole 1 , highly functionalized imidazole derivatives have been synthesized in a regioselective manner from directed metalations and a sulfoxide/magnesium exchange. Moreover, the selective N3‐alkylation followed by deprotection of N1 (trans‐N‐alkylation) allows the regioselective N‐alkylation of complex imidazoles.     

Well-Defined Aminophenolate Zinc and Magnesium Complexes as Excellent Inhitiators for the ROP of Lactides

A series of molecular homo and heteroleptic zinc and magnesium compounds with aminophenolate ligands [(µ,η²-L²)ZnEt]₂ ( 1 ), [(η²-L²)Zn(µ-BnO)]₂ ( 2 ), [Zn(η²-L²)₂] ( 3 ), [Zn(η²-L³)₂] ( 4 ), [Mg(η²-L³)₂] ( 5 ) (L²-H = N-[methylene(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)]-N-methyl-N-cyclohexylamine, L³-H = N-[methylene(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)]-N-methyl-N-methyl-1,3-dioxolaneamine) have been prepared and characterized. The homoleptic complexes 3–5 are most probably a mixture of diastereoisomers that in solution show an interesting dynamics which plays an important role in their catalytic behavior. The complexes 2 – 5 are efficient initiators in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactides to produce polymers with desired molecular weight and narrow polydispersity.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Structure of Some New Substituted 5,6-Fused Ring Pyridazines

Pyridazines are an important class of heterocyclic compounds as a result of their materials and commercial applications. The synthesis of 5,6-fused ring pyridazines 2a–h from 1,2-diacylcyclopentadienes (fulvenes) 1a–h is described herein. This route was quite general, and features an efficient and convenient two-step synthesis of a series of 5,6-fused ring 1,2-disubstituted pyridazines using enolized 1,2-disubstituted fulvenes in a methanolic solution of hydrazine. Full characterization of newly formed fulvene 1e and pyridazines 2a–h are reported. Single-crystal X-ray analysis confirms the molecular structure of pyridazine 2f, which displayed the expected pyridazine fused to the cyclopentadienyl moiety. Adding to their real world capabilities in electronic devices, compounds 2a–h display reasonably high stability in solution and in air at room temperature.

Magnesium and Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles from Datura alba Improve Cognitive Impairment and Blood Brain Barrier Leakage

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder involving persistent spontaneous seizures and uncontrolled neuronal excitability that leads to cognitive impairments and blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Currently available antiepileptic drugs present side effects and researchers are trying to discover new agents with properties to overcome these drawbacks. The aim was to synthesize magnesium oxide (MgO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles from Datura alba fresh leaf extracts and evaluate their anti-epileptic potential in mice kindling or a repetitive seizures model. The phytoassisted synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using spectroscopy; FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and EDX. Analysis of the NPs confirmed the crystalline pleomorphic shape using the salts of both zinc and magnesium possibly stabilized, functionalized and reduced by bioactive molecules present in plant extract. By using several characterization techniques, NPs were confirmed. UV-Vis spectroscopy of biologically produced ZnO and MgO revealed distinctive peaks at 380 nm and 242 nm, respectively. Our findings categorically demonstrated the reductive role of biomolecules in the formation of ZnO and MgO NPs. The mice kindling model was induced using seven injections of Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ, 40 mg/kg, i.p) for 15 days alternatively. The results showed that mice post-treated with either ZnO or MgO nanoparticles (10 mg/kg, i.p) significantly improved in respect of behavior and memory as confirmed in the Morris water maze (MWM), open field (OF), novel object recognition (NOR) test compared with PTZ treated mice. Furthermore, the ZnO and MgO nanoparticle treatment also maintained the integrity of the BBB, reducing the leakage, as confirmed by Evans blue dye (EBD) compared with PTZ treated mice only. In summary, the current finding demonstrates that green synthesized ZnO and MgO nanoparticles have neuroprotective, ant-epileptic potential, molecular mechanisms, and clinical implications need to be further explored.     

Synthesis of 4-methyl-2H-1,2,3-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides and their further transformation via alkylation and reduction steps

Abstract

Ortho lithiation of acetophenone ketals followed by introduction of the chlorosulphonyl group and subsequent ring closure with hydrazine monohydrate or acetohydrazide gave rise to the formation of variously substituted 4-methyl-1,2,3-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides. N(2)-Alkylation and reduction of the C=N double bond were carried out successfully to give N(2)-alkyl-4-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides. Finally, N(3)-alkylation was accomplished by reductive alkylation with aldehydes. Certain unsaturated and also some 3,4-dihydro derivatives exhibited a significant anxiolytic effect in vivo. Detailed NMR studies and DFT calculations supported the structure elucidation of the compounds.

Reaction of 1 with either Me₃NHCl or a solution of HCl in Et₂O yielded (Mes)NacNacZnCl 2 , whereas (Mes)NacNacZnI 3 was obtained from the reaction of 1 with I₂. 1 – 3 were characterized by elemental analyses, mass and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C{¹H}) NMR spectroscopy, 3·THF also by single crystal X‐ray analysis.

Discrete Cationic Zinc and Magnesium Complexes for Dual Organic/Organometallic‐Catalyzed Ring‐Opening Polymerization of Trimethylene Carbonate

We describe herein an original approach for the efficient immortal ring‐opening polymerization (iROP) of trimethylene carbonate (TMC) under mild conditions using dual‐catalyst systems combining a discrete cationic metal complex with a tertiary amine. A series of new zinc and magnesium cationic complexes of the type [{NNO}M]⁺[anion]^? ({NNO}^?=2,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐6‐{[(2′‐dimethylaminoethyl)methylamino]methyl}phenolate; M=Zn, [anion]^?=[B(C₆F₅)₄]^? ( 2 ), [H₂N‐ {B(C₆F₅)₃}₂]^? ( 3 ), and [EtB(C₆F₅)₃]^? ( 4 ); M=Mg, [anion]^?=[H₂N{B(C₆F₅)₃}₂]^? ( 7 )) have been prepared from the corresponding neutral compounds [{NNO}ZnEt] ( 1 ) and [{NNO}‐ Mg(nBu)] ( 6 ). Compounds 2 – 4 and 7 exist as free ion pairs, as revealed by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, and ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy in THF solution, and an X‐ray crystallographic analysis of the bis(THF) adduct of compound 7 , 7? (THF)₂. The neutral complexes 1 and 6 , in combination with one equivalent or an excess of benzyl alcohol (BnOH), initiate the rapid iROP of TMC, in bulk or in toluene solution, at 45–60 °C (turnover frequency, TOF, up to 25–30 000 mol(TMC)?mol(Zn)?h^?1 for 1 and 220–240 000 mol(TMC)?mol(Mg)?h^?1 for 6 ), to afford H‐PTMC‐OBn with controlled macromolecular features. ROP reactions mediated by the cationic systems 2 /BnOH and 7 /BnOH proceeded much more slowly (TOF up to 500 and 3 000 mol(TMC)?mol(Zn or Mg)?h^?1 at 110 °C) than those based on the parent neutral compounds 1 /BnOH and 6 /BnOH, respectively. Use of original dual organic/organometallic catalyst systems, obtained by adding 0.2–5 equiv of a tertiary amine such as NEt₃ to zinc cationic complexes [{NNO}Zn]⁺[anion]^? ( 2 – 4 ), promoted high activities (TOF up to 18 300 mol(TMC)?mol(Zn)?h^?1 at 45 °C) giving H‐PTMC‐OBn with good control over the M_n and M_w/M_n values. Variation of the nature of the anion in 2 – 4 did not significantly affect the performance of these catalyst systems. On the other hand, the dual magnesium‐based catalyst system 7 /NEt₃ proved to be poorly effective.

Preconcentration and Quantitative Determination of Esomeprazole Magnesium Present in Water

A simple, accurate, and sensitive preconcentration method for determination of esomeprazole magnesium in treated sewage water was developed based on HPLC. A preconcentration method was developed for aqueous solution containing pure drug using solid phase extraction. Macroporous beads of polystyrene divinyl benzene (PSDVB) polymer were used for preconcentration followed by chromatographic determination. Experimental parameters were optimized. This optimized method can detect esomeprazole magnesium concentration up to 0.003 mg L^?1 after preconcentration. This method was used for determination of esomeprazole magnesium in water collected from a sewage treatment facility. Esomeprazole magnesium could not be detected in the treated sewage water sample collected for the study.

Reaction of Nitrogen‐Radicals with Organometallics Under Ni‐Catalysis: N‐Arylations and Amino‐Functionalization Cascades

Herein, we report a strategy for the generation of nitrogen‐radicals by ground‐state single electron transfer with organyl–Ni^I species. Depending on the philicity of the N‐radical, two types of processes have been developed. In the case of nucleophilic aminyl radicals direct N‐arylation with aryl organozinc, organoboron, and organosilicon reagents was achieved. In the case of electrophilic amidyl radicals, cascade processes involving intramolecular cyclization, followed by reaction with both aryl and alkyl organometallics have been developed. The N‐cyclization–alkylation cascade introduces a novel retrosynthetic disconnection for the assembly of substituted lactams and pyrrolidines with its potential demonstrated in the short total synthesis of four venom alkaloids.
