Features of the reaction of 3(5)-methyl-5(3)-trifluoromethylpyrazole with chloroform. Synthesis and structure of fluorinated analogs of tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane

Reaction of 3(5)-methyl-5(3)-trifluoromethylpyrazole (I) with chloroform leads to a complex mixture of compounds. The main components are {bis[(5-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-1-yl](3-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-1-yl}methane, bis{[(3-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-1-yl](5-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl)-pyrazol-1-yl}methane, and tris[(3-methyl-5-trifluoro-methyl)pyrazol-1-yl]methane. The structure of isomeric substances was proved by XRD method.     

A convenient preparative method for anionic tris(substituted pyrazolyl)methane ligands

The synthesis of tris[3-(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)pyrazol-1-yl]methane is described in a linear multi-step protocol. The pyridyl-pyrazolyl arms are first constructed before being condensed with chloroform. Careful study of the condensation reaction shows the presence of an isomeric form of the tris(pyrazolyl)methane derivative in which one of the pyrazolyl substituents is linked through the nitrogen atom at the 2 position of the pyrazol. After acid-catalysed isomerisation to the desired isomer, the intermediate compound was subjected to a carboalkoxylation reaction and a subsequent hydrolysis. These are some rare examples of reactions directly occurring on the tris(pyrazolyl)methane platforms.

Synthesis of a macrobicycle incorporating the tris(pyrazolyl)methane ligand

Steric crowding of the 3-position of tris(pyrazolyl)borate and -methane ligands has produced tetrahedral metal complexes with controlled reactivity. As an alternative, we propose to incorporate the tris(pyrazolyl)methane chelate in a macrobicyclic structure in order to create a cavity with well-defined dimensions and shape. Acid-catalyzed equilibration of excess of the new pyrazole 3-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)benzenemethanethiol acetate with HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3) followed by hydrolysis affords a functionalized tris(pyrazolyl)methane, which reacts with 1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene in K(2)CO(3)/DMF to give the title compound.

Deoxygenation of Pyridones Via Their Tetrazolyl Ethers

A mild process for the conversion of pyridones to the corresponding pyridines by palladium catalyzed ammonium formate hydrogenolysis of their (1-phenyltetrazol-2-yl) ethers is described.     

Synthesis and Acidity of 5-Phenyltetrazol-2-ylalkanoic Acids and the Corresponding 5-(5-Phenyltetrazol-2-ylalkyl)tetrazoles

We have obtained 5-phenyltetrazol-2-ylalkanoic acids and their derivatives containing terminal nitrile, amide, and tetrazol-5-yl groups. Tetrazolylalkanoic acids with two (pK _a 4.93) and three (pK _a 5.45) bridging methylene groups are weaker acids than the corresponding ditetrazoles pK _a 4.68 and 5.29 respectively). However, the acidity of 5-phenyltetrazol-2-ylacetic acid (pK _a 3.12), is higher than acidity of the corresponding ditetrazole (pK _a 3.27).

Polyfuryl(aryl)alkanes and their derivatives. 12. C-fur bond cleavage in the series of polyfuryl(aryl)alkanes

Reactions taking place with cleavage of the C-Fur bond are examined. It was established that disproportionation in two directions, leading to the formation of tris(5-methyl-2 furyl)methane, takes place when 3, 4dimethoxyphenylbis(5-methyl-2 furyl)methane is boiled in an acidic medium. The acid-catalyzed reaction of 5-methylfurfural with ethylene glycol leads to the formation of either 2-(S-methyl-2 fury!)-1,3-dioxolane or tris(S-methyl-2 furyl)methane, depending on the catalyst. The treatment of 2-(S-methyl-2 fury!)-1,3-dioxolane or gem-tris(5. methyl-2 furyl)ethane with triryl perchlorate leads to tris(5-methyl-2 furyl)carbenium or bis(5-methyl-2-furyl)methylcarbenium perchlorates respectively.For Comminication 11, see [1]Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 175–179, February, 1996.     

Dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide reduction with hemocyanin model complexes

Three copper polypyridyl complexes were examined as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR): a Cu-N(3) complex, [Cu-[tris(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methane]-(NCMe)]PF(6) (1); a related Cu(2)N(6) derivative, [Cu(2)-[1,2-bis(6-(bis(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)ethane]-(NCMe)(2)](PF(6))(2) (2); and the CuN(4) species [Cu-[tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine]](ClO(4))(2) [3](ClO(4))(2). Compared to other copper complexes, [3](ClO(4))(2) exhibits the highest reported ORR onset potential for a Cu complex of 0.53 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode at pH 1. The Cu(2)N(6) hemocyanin model is more active than the CuN(3), but both are less active than the CuN(4) complex. The results indicate that copper polypyridyl complexes are promising cathode catalysts for ORR.     

Strategies for electrooptic film fabrication. Influence of pyrrole-pyridine-based dibranched chromophore architecture on covalent self-assembly, thin-film microstructure, and nonlinear optical response

The new dibranched, heterocyclic "push-pull" chromophores bis{1-(pyridin-4-yl)-2-[2-(N-methylpyrrol-5-yl)]ethane}methane (1), 1-(pyrid-4-yl)-2-(N-methyl-5-formylpyrrol-2-yl)ethylene (2), {1-(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-2-[2-(N-methylpyrrol-5-yl)]ethane}{(1-(pyridin-4-yl)-2-[2-(N-methylpyrrol-5-yl)]ethane}methane (3), N-methyl-2-[1-(N-methylpyrid-4-yl)ethen-2-yl]-5-[pyrid-4-yl]ethen-2-yl]pyrrole iodide (4), bis{1-(N-methyl-4-pyridinio)-2-[2-(N-methylpyrrol-5-yl)]ethane}methane iodide (5), and N-methyl-2,5-[1-(N-methylpyrid-4-yl)ethen-2-yl]pyrrole iodide (6) have been synthesized and characterized. The neutral (1 and 2) and monomethyl salts (3 and 4) undergo chemisorptive reaction with iodobenzyl-functionalized surfaces to afford chromophore monolayers SA-1/SA-2 and SA-3/SA-4, respectively. Molecular structures and other physicochemical properties have been defined by (1)H NMR, optical spectroscopy, and XRD. Thin-film characterization by a variety of techniques (optical spectroscopy, specular X-ray reflectivity, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and angle-dependent polarized second harmonic generation) underscore the importance of the chromophore molecular architecture as well as film growth method on film microstructure and optical/electrooptic response.     

Photochemical study of tris(benzotriazol-1-yl)methane

Photodecomposition of tris(benzotrizol-1-yl)methane (1) in benzene gives [1-benzotryazol-1-yl-methylidene]-biphenyl-2-ylamine (2) resulting from the loss of the benzotriazolyl radical and nitrogen followed by addition of benzene. Elimination of the second benzotriazolyl radical from 2 provides the biphenyl-2-ylmethyleneamine radical, which affords phenantridine (3) after ring closure. In contrast, the photolysis of 1 in methanol gives a high yield of benzotriazole (4).     

Specific features of the reactions of quinazoline and its 4-hydroxy and 4-chloro substituted derivatives with C-nucleophiles

Reactions of quinazoline 1 with indole, pyrogallol and 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one in the presence of acid led to C-4 adducts 2, 3 and 5. Adduct 4 is formed by heating 1 with 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid without acid catalysis. 1-Phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one reacts with 1 without acid catalysis to form dipyrazolylmethane 6. 4-Chloroquinazoline 8 reacts with 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one to form 4-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-oxopyrazol-4-yl) quinazoline 9 and dipyrazolylmethane 6. Heating 8 with 2-methylindole leads to the formation of 4-(2-methylindol-3-yl) quinazoline 10 and tris(2-methylindol-3-yl)methane 11.     

Spin crossover in homo- and heteroligand iron(II) complexes with tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane derivatives

The studies concerning coordination compounds of various salts of iron(II) with tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane derivatives (HC(pz)₃) are discussed. The results of a number of studies on the synthesis and investigation of the homo- and heteroligand iron(II) complexes with tris(3,5- dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (HC(3,5-Me₂pz)₃) are considered. The study of the temperature dependence μ_eff (T) showed that the spin crossover (SCO) ¹A₁?⁵T₂ observed in a series of the compounds discussed is accompanied by thermochromism (color change pink (purple) ? colorless). Specific features of the SCO and their dependence on the outer-sphere anion in the iron(II) complexes are discussed. The data of the recently published work devoted to the synthesis of the iron(II) complexes with three N-substituted HC(pz)₃ derivatives (general formula ^xL, where x = H, CH₂C₆H₅ (Bn) and p-SO₃C₆H₄CH₃ (Ts)) are considered.     

Silver as an exopolyhedral auxiliary to the rhenacarborane anion [Re(CO)3(eta5-7,8-C2B9H11)]-

The rhenacarborane salt Cs[Re(CO)3(eta5-7,8-C2B9H11)] (1) has been used to synthesize the tetranuclear metal complex [[ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3]2[mu-Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2]] (3) where two [ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3] fragments have been shown by X-ray crystallography to be bridged by a single 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligand. Reaction of 1 with Ag[BF4] in the presence of the ligands bis- or tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane yields the complexes [ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3[kappa2-CH2(C3H3N2-1)2]] (4) or [[ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3]2[mu-kappa1,kappa2-CH(C3H3N2-1)3]] (5), respectively. From X-ray studies, the former comprises a Re-Ag bond bridged by the carborane cage and with the bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane coordinating the silver(I) center in an asymmetric kappa(2) mode. Complex 5 was unexpectedly found to contain a tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane bridging two [ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3] fragments in a kappa1,kappa2 manner. Treatment of 1 with Ag[BF4] in the presence of 2,2'-dipyridyl and 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridyl yields [ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3[kappa2-(C5H4N-2)(2)]] (6) and [ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3[kappa3-C5H3N(C5H4N-2)2-2,6]] (7). The X-ray structure determination of 7 revealed an unusual pentacoordinated silver(I) center, asymmetrically ligated by a kappa3-2,2':6',2' '-terpyridyl molecule. The same synthetic procedure using N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine gave a tetranuclear metal complex [[ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3]2[mu-Me2N(CH2)2NMe2]2] (8) which is believed, in the solid state, to be bridged between the silver atoms by two of the diamine molecules. The salt 1 with Ag[BF4] in the absence of any added ligand gave the tetrameric cluster [ReAg[mu-5,6,10-(H)3-eta5-7,8-C2B9H8](CO)3]4 (9) where, in the solid state, four [ReAg(mu-10-H-eta5-7,8-C2B9H10)(CO)3] units are held together by long interunit B-H right harpoon-up Ag bonds.     

Quantum-chemical study of nucleophilic substitution in protonated trisindolylmethane*

The total energies of reactants, products, and transition states of nucleophilic substitution reactions in protonated tris(indol-3-yl)methane have been assessed with the semiempirical AM1 method and the theory of functional density B3LYP/6-31(d) method. The results of calculations indicated that the reactions proceed by an S _N 1-like mechanism, since the activation barrier for it is significantly lower than in the case of the S _N 2-like mechanism.

Preliminary studies on a novel synthesis of β-amino acids: stereocontrolled transformation of d- and l-glyceraldehyde into 3-amino-2-(2′,2′-dimethyl-1′,3′-dioxolan-4′-yl)propanoic acids

A stereocontrolled synthesis of the methyl ester of (2S)-3-amino-2-((4′S)-2′,2′-dimethyl-1′,3′-dioxolan-4′-yl)propanoic acid from d-glyceraldehyde is described for the first time. This method involves the stereoselective Michael addition of the lithium salt of tris(phenylthio)methane to (S)-2,2-dimethyl-4-((E)-2-nitrovinyl)-1,3-dioxolane followed by hydrolysis of the resulting (4S)-2,2-dimethyl-4-((2′S)-3′-nitro-1′,1′,1′-tris(phenylthio)propan-2′-yl)-1,3-dioxolane to (2S)-methyl 2-((4′S)-2′,2′-dimethyl-1′,3′-dioxolan-4′-yl)-3-nitropropanoate, which was finally reduced to the target compound. A similarly stereocontrolled transformation of l-glyceraldehyde into (2R)-methyl 3-amino-2-((4′R)-2′,2′-dimethyl-1′,3′-dioxolan-4′-yl)propanoate is also described.     

Complexes of heteroscorpionate trispyrazolylborate ligands. Part VI. Carboxylate induced conversion of mono-ligand Tp′M(L) into bis-ligand Tp′2M complexes (M=Co(II) and Cu(II))

A series of homoleptic complexes of hexacoordinate cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes with 3,5-disubstituted homo- and heteroscorpionate tris(pyrazolyl)borate anionic ligands (Tp′) were synthesized, i.e. bis[hydrotris(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]cobalt(II), bis[hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3-methyl,5-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]cobalt(II) and bis[hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3-methyl,5-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]copper(II) and their structures were elucidated crystallographically. The complexes were also formed spontaneously during attempted metathesis of the corresponding Tp′M(NCS) complexes into Tp′M(OOCCH(OH)CH₃) complexes. In the case of the analogous conversion applied for the thiocyanato [hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)boratocobalt(II) complex with sodium carboxylates (lactate, pyruvate and 2-hydroxybutyrate), the cross-transfer of pyrazolyl residues between starting anionic ligands was observed resulting in formation of bis-ligand homo- and heteroleptic Tp′CoTp″ complexes, where Tp′, Tp″ were tris(pyrazolyl)borates composed of n 3(5)-phenyl,5(3)-methylpyrazolyl and (3−n) 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl residues (n=0–3) identified by mass spectrometry. Metathesis of thiocyanate in thiocyanato hydrotris(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)boratocobalt(II) into pyruvate led to the isolation of stable the pyruvato hydrotris(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)boratocobalt(II) complex, the structure of which was determined crystallographically. The Tp′ ligands are η³ coordinated to metal ions in every case, whereas the pyruvate anion is coordinated through carboxylate and carbonyl oxygen atoms to the cobalt center. Two rotational isomers distinguishable by ¹H NMR spectroscopy for the hexacoordinate bis[hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3-methyl,5-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]cobalt(II) complex were detected in solution.     

Tetrazoles: XLVII. A route to tetrazole-containing dendrimers

The reaction of 5-methylsulfonyl-1-phenyltetrazole with pentaerythritol in acetonitrile in the presence of sodium hydroxide gave tetrakis(1-phenyltetrazol-5-yloxymethyl)methane. Sulfur-containing analog of the latter was obtained by alkylation of 1-phenyl-4,5-dihydrotetrazole-5-thione with 1,3-dibromo-2,2-bis-(bromomethyl)propane. Nitration of the resulting polytetrazoles afforded the corresponding tetrakis(p-nitrophenyl) derivatives which can be used in the synthesis of tetrazole-containing dendrimers according to the divergent scheme.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 9, 2004, pp. 1366–1368.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Artamonova, Zatsepina, Koldobskii.For communication XLVI, see [1].
