Synthesis, crystal structure, and spectra of 9(E)-phenanthrene-9,10-dione[(1Z)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ylidene]hydrazone and its cation-anion complex with copper(I) bromide

The reaction of 1-hydrazino-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline with 9,10-phenanthrenequinone gave (9E)-phenanthrene-9,10-dione[(1Z)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ylidene]hydrazone (L). The reaction of L with copper(II) bromide gave the complex (LH)[CuBr₂]. The crystal structures of the monohydrate L · H₂O (I) and the isolated complex (LH)[CuBr₂] (II) were determined by X-ray diffraction. The structural units of I are pseudo-centrosymmetric dimers in which the L and water molecules are combined by strong hydrogen bonds. The active H atom is located at the N(1) atom of the isoquinoline fragment of the L molecule. The L molecule occurs in the crystal as the cis, trans isomer with respect to exocyclic C=N bonds at the isoquinoline and phenanthrenequinone fragments, respectively. Complex II has a cation-anion structure. The LH⁺ cation as the cis, cis isomer is protonated at N(2) and stabilized by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds. In the CuBr₂⁻ anion, the copper atom in the oxidation state +1 has a linear coordination, the C-Br bond length is 2.185(4) ± 0.005 ?, and the BrCuBr angle is 179.8(4)°. The main ion-ion interactions in structure II are shortened contacts involving bromine atoms, which combine cations and anions into a three-dimensional framework. Original Russian Text ? V.V.

Regio- and stereoselectivity in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of C,N-diarylnitrones to 3,3-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone

Summary Regio- and stereoselectivity of the nitrone cycloaddition with 3,3-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-2-pyrrolidinone ((1) is discussed. Nitrones react regioselectively with1 to give a mixture of diastereoisomeric spiro-cycloadducts3 and4, in which3 always dominates. Both3 and4 result from the approach which binds the carbon of the nitrone with the exocyclic carbon of1 and the oxygen to the spiro carbon. The structure and steric configuration of the adducts have been assigned on the basis of¹H- and¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, mainly by nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectroscopy. AM1 calculations of the reactants were performed, the regio- and stereochemistry of the cycloaddition seems to be controlled by steric effects.

Zusammenfassung Es wird die Regio- und Stereoselektivität der Cycloaddition von Nitronen an 3,3-Methylen-5,5-dimethyl-2-pyrolidinon (1) diskutiert. Nitrone reagieren mit1 regioselektiv zu einer Mischung von diastereomeren Spirocycloaddukten3 und4, wobei3 stets dominierend ist. Sowohl3 als auch4 resultieren aus der gleichen Reaktionsanordnung unter Bindung des Nitron-Kohlenstoffatoms an das exocyclische Kohlenstoffatom von1 und des Sauerstoffatoms an den Spiro-Kohlenstoff. Die Stereochemie der Addukte wurde auf Basis von¹H- und¹³C-NMR-Spektroskopie, insbesondere aus Differenz-Nuclear-Overhauser-Messungen, abgeleitet. Es wurden auch AM1-Rechnungen durchgeführt. Die Regio- und Stereochemie der Cycloaddition scheint von sterischen Effekten bestimmt zu sein.

Synthesis,crystal structure,and spectra of the trichloromethane solvate of nickel(II) 9(E)-phenanthrene-9,10-dione[(1Z)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ylidene]hydrazonate

The complex [Ni(L-H)₂] · CHCl₃ (I), where L-H is the (9E)-phenanthrene-9,10-dione[(1Z)-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ylidene]hydrazone anion (L), was synthesized for the first time. The crystal structure of I was solved. The L-H and L-H′ anions exist as cis- and trans-isomers and are linked to the central Ni²⁺ atom in a tridentate chelating mode giving rise to two conjugated five-membered metal rings of different composition (NiN₃C and NiONC₂) at each anion. The Ni²⁺ coordination polyhedron is a highly distorted octahedron whose axial positions are occupied by N(3) and N(3)′ atoms. The vertices of the tetrahedrally distorted equatorial base of the octahedron are occupied by the N(1) and N(1)′ atoms of the dihydroisoquinoline fragment (A) and the O(1) and O(1)′ atoms of the phenanthrenequinone fragment (B). Complex I occurs as the cis-isomer. The conformations of the L-H anions in I and the L molecules in L · H₂O do not differ much. The randomly disordered CHCl₃ solvent molecules in I occupy crystal voids between the centrosymmetric dimeric associates. Spectroscopic (IR and UV-Vis) characteristics of I were obtained.

Conformational analysis 29: Preparation and1H and13C NMR,FTIR, MS,and crystallographic conformational and configurational study of 3-Oxo-1,3-oxathiane and its monomethyl derivatives

3-Oxo-1,3-oxathiane (1) and its monomethyl derivatives were prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 1,3-oxathianes. The structural analysis was carried out by¹H and¹³C NMR, FTIR, and mass spectrometry. At 298 K compound1 was a 1 1 (at 173 K a 3 1) mixture of the SO(ax) and SO(eq) chair forms. The major oxidation products of methyl 1,3-oxathianes attained exclusively the SO(ax), Me(eq) chair forms except that of the 5-methyl derivative, which consisted of 7% of the SO(eq), Me(ax) chair conformation in CDCl₃ solution. The minor products of oxidation existed in anancomeric SO(eq), Me(eq) chair conformations. The oxidation of 2-methyl- 1,3-oxathiane, however, led to 3,3-dioxo derivative (6) in addition to thetrans [SO(eq)] monoxide. The crystal structures of6 andtrans-3-oxo-5-methyl-1,3-oxathiane were solved by X-ray diffractometry.

Mercury(II) cyanide complexes with alkyldiamines: solid-state/solution NMR,computational, and antimicrobial studies

Mercury cyanide complexes of alkyldiamines (1–6), [Hg(L)(CN)₂] (where L?=?en (1,2-diaminoethane), pn (1,3-diaminopropane), N-Me-en, N, N′-Me₂-en, N, N′-Et₂-en, and N, N′-ipr₂-en), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N solution NMR in DMSO-d₆, as well as ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 have been studied computationally, built and optimized by GAUSSIAN03 using DFT at B3LYP level with LanL2DZ basis set. Binding modes of en and bn (where bn?=?1,4-diaminobutane) toward Hg(CN)₂ are completely different. Complexes with en and pn show chelating binding to Hg(II), while bn behaves as a bridging ligand to form a polymeric structure, [Hg(CN)₂-bn]_∞ [B.A. Al-Maythalony, M. Fettouhi, M.I.M. Wazeer, A.A. Isab. Inorg. Chem. Commun., 12, 540 (2009).]. The solution ¹³C NMR of the complexes demonstrates a slight shift of the ?C≡N (0.9 to 2?ppm) and ?C–NH₂ (0.25 to 6?ppm) carbon resonances, while the other resonances are relatively unaffected. ¹⁵N labeling studies have shown involvement of alkyldiamine ligands in coordination to the metal. The principal components of the ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹⁹⁹Hg shielding tensors have been determined from solid-state NMR data. Antimicrobial activity studies show that the complexes exhibit higher antibacterial activities toward various microorganisms than Hg(CN)₂.

The chromenone-crown ethers (4a–f) were prepared from the cyclic condensation of o-dihydroxy-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)chromenones (3a,b) with poly(ethylene glycol) ditosylates, in the presence of CH₃CN/alkali carbonates. The chromatographically purified original chromenone-crown ethers were identified by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The 1:1 binding constants of Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ with the chromenone-crown ethers were estimated in acetonitrile using fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The complexing-enhanced fluorescence spectra and complexing-enhanced quenching fluorescence spectra, along with the cationic recognition rules of the crown ethers allowed the ion binding powers to be determined.
