Azocalixarenes. 6: Synthesis, complexation, extraction and thermal behaviour of four new azocalix[4]arenes

Four new azocalix[4]arenes {5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (1), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-hydroxy-5-nitro phenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (2), 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(2-amino-5-carboxylphenylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (3) and 5,11,17,23-tetrakis[(1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulfonicacidnapthylazo)]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (4)} have been synthesized from p-tert-butylphenol, p-nitrophenol, p-aminobenzoic acid and 1-amino-2-hydroxy-4-sulphonic acid by diazo coupling reaction with p-aminocalix[4]arene. The resulting ligands (1–4) were treated with three transition metal salts (e.g., CuCl₂·2H₂O, NiCl₂·6H₂O or CoCl₂·6H₂O). Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes of the azocalix[4]arene derivatives were obtained and characterized by UV-vis, IR, ¹H-NMR spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. All the complexes have a metal:ligand ratio of 2:1. The Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are square-planar, while the Co(II) complexes of azocalix[4]arenes are octahedral with water molecules as axial ligands. The solvent extraction of various transition metal cations from the aqueous phase to the organic phase was carried out by using azocalix[4]arenes (1–4). It was found that, azocalix[4]arenes 1, 2 and 3 examined selectivity for transition metal cations such as Ag⁺, Hg⁺ and Hg²⁺. In addition, the thermal stability of metal:azocalix[4]arene complexes were also reported. Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Mustafa Yılmaz on the occasion of his 50th birthday     

Synthesis of 5H-imidazo[5,1-a]isoindole: Photocyclization of N,N′ -bis(o-chlorobenzyl)imidazolium chloride and N-(o-chlorobenzyl)imidazole

A N-heterocyclic compound containing two hetero atoms, imidazo[5,1-a]isoindole, was synthesized in 40% yield by the intramolecular photocyclization of N,N'-bis(o-chlorobenzyl)imidazolium salts 1 in water (neutral or pH ～4) or of N-(o-chlorobenzyl)imidazole 2 , in aqueous acid (pH ?4). However, the photocyclized compound 3 was not formed effectively in basic aqueous solution (3 equivalents of sodium hydroxide or pyridine) or in acetonitrile by the photochemical reaction of N,N'-bis(o-chlorobenzyl)imidazolium salts 1 or N-(o-chlorobenzyl)imidazole (2).     

New approaches to synthesis of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines

Thermal cyclization of 3-R-5-chloro-1,2,4-triazoles (R = Cl, Ph) afforded 2,6,10-tri-R- tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′,5′c:1″,5″-e][1,3,5]triazines 5 (R = Ph) and 7 (R = Cl). These compounds are first representatives of this class of heterocycles, whose structures were unambiguously established. Treatment of these compounds with nucleophiles (H₂O/NaOH, NH₃) results in the triazine ring opening to give compounds consisting of three 1,2,4-triazole rings linked in a chain. For example, treatment of cyclic compound 5 with aqueous alkali affords 3-phenyl-1-3-phenyl-1-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. Treatment of 3,7,11-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (2) with HCl/SbCl₅ leads to the triazine ring opening giving rise to 5-(3-chloro-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-phenyl-4-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazole. Thermal cyclization of the latter produces 3,7,10-triphenyltris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:4′,3′c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (13). Thermolysis of both cyclic compound 2 and cyclic compound 13 is accompanied by the Dimroth rearrangement to yield 3,6,10-triphenyl-tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a:1′, 5′-c:4″,3″-e][1,3,5]triazine (14). Compounds 13 and 14 are the first representatives of cyclic compounds with this skeleton. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy allows the determination of the isomer type in a series of tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5]triazines.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Darstellung,chiroptische eigenschaften und absolute Konfiguration von 4,14-disubstituierten [2.2]Metacyclophanen

Resolution of [2.2]metacyclophane-4,14-dicarboxylic acid (2) was achieved by crystallization of its (+)- and (–)--phenylethylamine salts. Chemical correlation with (–)-(S)_p-[2.2]metacyclophane-4-caboxylic acid (–)-11 via its monobromo derivative (–)-8 established the absolute configuration of the dicarboxylic acid as (–)-(S)_p-2. The key compound (–)-8 was prepared by partial lithiation and subsequent carboxylation of 4,14-dibromo[2.2]metacyclophane (1) and resolution with (–)-phenylethylamine.Recently proposed rules correlating the absolute configurations of planarchiral compounds with theirCD-spectra are discussed and a comparison of the chiroptical properties of 4,14-di- and 4-mono-substituted [2.2]metacyclophanes is presented.

Synthesis of iridium complexes with new planar chiral chelating phosphinyl-imidazolylidene ligands and their application in asymmetric hydrogenation

The synthesis of planar chiral phosphinoimidazolium salts such as (R_p)-3-(4-diphenyl-phosphino[2.2]paracyclophan-12-ylmethyl)-1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolium bromide (R_p)-11c starting from enantiopure 4,12-dibromo[2.2]paracyclophane (R_p)-6 is reported. After deprotonation of these salts and a subsequent reaction with [Ir(COD)Cl]₂, chelating iridium imidazolylidene complexes (R_p)-5a–c are obtained. These complexes catalyze the asymmetric hydrogenation of functionalized and simple alkenes with up to 89% ee.     

[1,3]Dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]-quinolin-6(5H)-ones

Summary The reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid (1) with thionyl chloride resulted in the formation of 7-chlorothieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carbonyl chloride (2) and cinnamoyl chloride (3). Subsequent reaction of the former withp-substituted anilines led to the formation of 7-chloro-N-(p-substituted phenyl)-thieno[2,3-f]-1,3-benzodioxole-6-carboxamides (4a–c) which on photocyclization afforded 2-substituted [1,3]dioxolo[5,6][1]benzothieno[2,3-c]quinolin-6(5H)-ones (5a–c) in fairly good yields and high purity. The structures have been confirmed by IR,¹H NMR, and analytical methods.Accepted for presentation at the Hong Kong International Symposium on Heterocyclic Chemistry (August 13–16, 1995)     

Crystal Structures of 1,5,9,18,22,26-Hexaaza[11.11]-p-cyclophane Adducts; Two-dimensional Supramolecular Networks

Two newly identified supramolecular structures arise from self-assembly of the macrocyclic 1,5,9,18,22,26- hexaaza[11.11]-p-cyclophane salts with o-nitrophenol (C₂₈H₅₀N₆)⁴⁺·4(C₆H₄NO₂O)⁻ (1) and with HCl (C₂₈H₅₂N₆)⁶⁺·6Cl^-·4H₂O (2). In both cases two-dimensional supramolecular sheets are formed.     

The reaction of 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidine with carbon disulfide and alkylation of its products

In the reaction with carbon disulfide, 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine (1) forms the alkaline salts of substituted dithiocarbamic or iminodithiocarbonic acids depending on the molar ratio between1, CS₂, and the alkali. The alkylation of these salts leads to the esters ofN-(7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-yl)dithiocarbamic (2) and diesters of (7-methyl-5-oxo-5H-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2-yl)iminodithiocarbonic acids (3). The synthesis of asymmetric diesters3 may be fulfilled based on monoesters2.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 14–14, August, 1994.     

Chiral [2H]-Labelled Methylene Groups in Trienoic- and Dienoic Fatty Acids: A Facile Approach via Asymmetric Epoxidation of [2H] Allyl Alcohols

Chiral [²H] -labelled methylene groups flanked by two double bonds within (poly)unsaturated fatty acids are readily available from trans-2,3-epoxy[2,3-²H₂] alk-4-yn-l-ols, obtained in their turn by asymmetric epoxidation of the corresponding (E)-[2,3-²H₂] alk-2-en-4-yn-l-ols (see Scheme 3). The procedure is exemplified for (8S,3Z,6Z,9Z)-[7,8-²H₂] trideca-3,6,9-trienoic acid ((8S)- 11 ) and (8R)- 11 (Scheme 4) as well as for (5S,3Z,6Z)-[4,5^?2H₂]deca-3,6-dienoic acid ((5S)- 13 ) and (5R)- 13 (Scheme 5).     

Synthesis and reactions of methylbenzo[c]quinolizinium salts

Six isomers of the methylbenzo[c]quinolizinium salt 3 including four new monomethyl derivatives were synthesized by thermal-intramolecular quaternization of the cis-methyl-substituted 2-[2-(2-chlorophenyl)-vinyl]pyridines 4 or by the irradiation of trans- 4 with selected wavelengths (290 < λ < 340 nm and λ > 400 nm) in acetonitrile. Among the regioisomeric monomethyl derivatives 3 , the 1-, 3-, and 6-methyl derivatives 3b, 3d , and 3g reacted with p-methoxybenzaldehyde in the presence of bis(l-piperidino)-(p-methoxyphenyl)-methane 7 to yield trans-(p-methoxystyryl)benzo[c]quinolizinium salts 6 . The reactivity of 3 and methylbenzo[a]quinolizinium salts 1 was discussed on the basis of their π-electron energy.     

1,4-Cyeloaddition reactions. IV. preparation of Cyclopenta[g]furo[3,2-c]quinolines,Cyclopenta- [f]furo[3,2-c]quinolines,Benzo[H]furo[3,2-c]quinolines,and Furo- [3,2-c]indeno[1,7-gh] quinolines from 2,3-Dihydro-5-methylfuran and schiff bases

The boron trifluoride catalyzed 1,4-addition of 2,3-dihydro-5-methylfuran to N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-5-indanamine (VI) gave 2 pairs of epimers, dl-3,3a,4,5,7,8,9,10b-octahydro-4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-10b-methyl-2H-cyclopenta[g]furo[3,2-c]quinoline (VIIa and b) and dl-3,3a, 4,-5,8,9,10,10c-octahydro-4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-10c-methyl-2H-cyclopenta[f]furo[3,2-c]quinoline (VIIIa and b). When 4-(benzylideneamino)-1-naphthol (IXa) was condensed with 2,3-dihydro-5-methylfuran in an analogous manner, a mixture of two isomers of dl-1,2,2a,3,4,5a-hexahydro-5a-methyl-2-phenylbenzo[h]furo[3,2-c]quinolin-7-ol [Xa and b (R ? H)] was obtained. Likewise, 4-[(p-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]-1-naphthol (IXb) and 4-(p-methoxybenzylidene)amino]-1-naphthol (IXc) gave a mixture of two isomers of dl-1,2,2a,3,4,5a-hexahydro-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-5a-methylbenzo[h]furo[3,2-c]quinolin-7-ol [Xa and b (R ? OH)] and dl-1,2,2a,3,4,5a-hexahydro-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-5a-methylbenzo [h]furo[3,2-c]quinolin-7-ol [Xa and b (R ? OCH₃)], respectively. The condensation of N-(p-methoxybenzylidene)-5-acenaphthenamine (XI) with 2,3-dihydro-5-methylfuran afforded a mixture of two isomers of dl-2,3,3a,4,5,9,10,-11b-octahydro-4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-11b-methylfuro[3,2-c]indeno[1,7-gh]quinoline (XIIa and b). Structural assignments for all of the products were made from NMR spectra. None of these compounds possessed appreciable biological activity.     

Halochrome Molekeln 2. Mitteilung [1] Synthese und acidobasisches Verhalten substituierter 6,6-Diphenyl-6H-chromeno [4,3-b]indole

Halochromic Molecules, Synthesis and Acidobasic Behaviour of Substituted 6,6-Diphenyl-6H-chromeno [4,3-b]indoles Substituted 6,6-diphenyl-6H-chromeno [4,3-b]indoles are forming with acid ring-opened, intensely coloured diphenyl-indol-3-yl-carbenium salts. The preparation of these products is described and the UV./VIS.-spectra are discussed. An investigation of the halochromic properties is made by spectrophotometric determination of ?_pH*- and ?_H0*-curves in buffered methanol/water solutions. pK*- and pK*-values respectively are calculated and the suitability of substituted 6 H- chromeno [4, 3-b]indoles as chromogens in self-duplicating stationery is discussed.     

Unexplored metallic cation effect in the acidity constants of p-t-butylthiacalix[4]arene,p-t-butylcalix[4]arene and p-t-butylcalix[6]arene in aqueous-organic media

The influence of the metallic cation of the base (Li⁺, Na⁺ or K⁺) was determined on the acid–base constants of p-t-butylthiacalix[4]arene (TC4), p-t-butylcalix[4]arene (CA4) and p-t-butylcalix[6]arene (CA6) in ethanol/water in an large interval of pH values by potentiometry and spectrophotometry. The pK_a values determined by both methods correlate very well and these are characteristic for each macrocycle with influence of the cation of the base without a straight evidence of an effect by the size of the metallic cation. In the case of TC4, pK_a1 and pK_a2 were lower to Li⁺ and Na⁺ than with K⁺. For CA4, an effect of K⁺ on the pK_a2 with respect to Li⁺ was observed. A very different behaviour was observed for CA6 with Li⁺ and K⁺ showing a lower pK_a2 and a higher pK_a3 than with Na⁺. These effects were interpreted on the basis of the interaction/complexation of each cation with each macrocycle.     

Syntheses of Novel Hexahomotrithiacalix[3]arenes

The first synthesis of the C ₃ -symmetrical p-tert-butylhexahomotrithiacalix[3]arene 7d via one-pot procedure by the reaction of 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)-p-tert-butylphenol 8d with sodium sulfide nanohydrate under high-dilution conditions is reported. Also, hexahomotrithiacalix[3]arenes 7d-f (where d-f designate the type of the substituents R at the p-positions of the phenolic rings: d, R=t-Bu; e, R=CH₃; f, R=Cl) were synthesized via a convergent approach in good yield by the [2+1] cyclization reaction of 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)phenol monomers 8d-f and bis(chloromethyl)phenol dimers 15d-f in presence of sodium sulfide nanohydrate under high-dilution conditions. The structures of 7d-f were determined by ¹H, ¹³C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. A preliminary study of the binding properties of 7d with alkali- and heavy metal cations using biphasic picrate extraction method showed only weak abilities to bind the cations examined.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Photophysical Properties, and DFT Calculations of a Bis(tetrathia-calix[4]arene) Tetracadmium Complex

Abstract  

Thiacalix[4]arenes are a unique family of polydentate ligands that offer a combination of four soft sulfur atoms together with four hard phenol oxygen atoms for binding to metal ions. In this study, the tetranuclear cadmium (II) complex Cd₄^II(tca)₂·1.5CH₂Cl₂ (tca⁴⁻ = tetra-anionic p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene) (1) was synthesized by reaction of a deprotonated p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene and various Cd^II salts. The structure of 1 was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The neutral complex 1 contains a square arrangement of four cadmium (II) ions sandwiched between two tca⁴⁻ ligands that have a ‘cone’ conformation similar to that of the free ligand. The absorption and emission properties of the free ligand H₄tca and complex 1 have been recorded and explained by DFT calculations of the molecular orbitals and electronic transitions between them.     

Synthesis and reaction of methylbenzo[a]quinolizinium salts

All isomers of (monomethyl)benzo[a]quinolizinium salts including five new monomethyl derivatives were prepared by photocyclization, sulfur extrusion, or cyclodehydration reaction, and their aldol-type condensation was examined. The 2- and 4-methyl derivatives 3b and 3c reacted with p-methoxybenzaldehyde in the presence of piperidine to yield trans-(p-methoxystyryl)benzo[a]quinolizinium salts 11 . The other methyl derivatives did not react with the aldehyde. The methyl group was reactive at the 2- and 4-positions, located para and ortho to the azonia ring nitrogen, respectively; however, it was unreactive at the 6-position located at another ortho position.     

New mesoionic systems of azolopyridine series 2. Synthesis,structures, and biological activity of 2-aminothiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridinium salts and thiazolo[3,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyridinium 2-imidates

A new procedure was developed for the synthesis of 2-aminothiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium salts 8 by the reaction of 2-halo-N-phenacylpyridinium salts with KSCN. The anion compositions of salts 8 were studied by ion chromatography. Acylation of salts 8 afforded representatives of the previously unknown bicyclic mesoionic thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium 2-imidate system 9. The three-dimensional structures of 2-amino-3-(p-bromobenzoyl)thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium thiocyanate and N-trifluoroacetyl-3-(p-nitrobenzoyl)thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium 2-imidate were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthese und Reaktionen des 5-[p-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxazolins

Synthesis and Reactions of 5-[p-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]-2,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-3-oxazoline The title compound 8 has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction of 4′-(dimethylamino)benzoin ( 4 ) with 2-propanone and NH₃. The preparation of the intermediate 4 from 3 is the first example of an acid-catalyzed transformation of the stable benzoin 3 into the corresponding less stable benzoin 4 . Structures and yields of various by-products occurring under different reaction conditions during the synthesis of 8 from 4 are given. The O-atom of the 3-oxazoline ring in 8 could be replaced by S from P₂S₅ yielding the 3-thiazoline 14 . Separation of the enantiomers of the racemate 8 could only be performed by transforming them into the trimethylanilinium salts 8b and 8c of (−)- and (+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid, respectively. Solid NaOAc in boiling toluene caused the precipitation of the 10-camphorsulfonic acids from the quaternary ammonium salts as sodium salts and the removing of the third methyl group from the quaternary ammonium salts as AcOMe to give the enantiomers (−)-(5S)- 8 and (+)-(5R)- 8 . Their absolute configurations are deduced from an X-ray analysis of 8b .
