Highly reactive μ-carbido diiron tetraphenylporphine oxo-species: chemical generation and the oxidation ability

Abstract

The multistep interaction of a μ-carbido diiron tetraphenylporphine complex and its imidazole derivative with tert-butylhydroperoxide ^tBuOOH were investigated in benzene at 298 K by UV–visible, IR spectroscopy and electrochemical study. The kinetics of the stepwise processes were studied and their rate constants k were obtained. The reaction of both non-ligated [Fe^IVTPP]₂C (1) and [ImFe^IVTPP]₂C (2) with ^tBuOOH led to high-oxidized species generation following the coordination of a peroxide molecule on the metal center (k₁?=?2.8 M^?1s^?1) and homolytic cleavage of O–O bond in attached ^tBuOOH (k₂?=?3.1?s^?1 for 1, k₂?=?12.8?s^?1 for 2). [Fe^IVTPP]₂C underwent one-electron ring oxidation to form a π-cation radical (k_ox?=?3.9?s^?1) detected by UV–visible and IR spectroscopy. Imidazole-derivative formed a powerful oxidizing species that is able to oxidize the organic peroxide employed. The oxidant-intermediate reacting rapidly when produced in solution was proposed to be double-oxidized species due to its high reactivity (k_red?=?2660 M^?1s^?1). The results of UV–visible, IR, ESI-MS study supported the final products with Fe?=?C=Fe unit.     

Synthesis and Structure of Novel 1-Aryl-4,4,4-trichloro-1,3-butanediones

Novel 1-aryl-4,4,4-trichloro-1,3-butanediones in good yields (80–97%) were synthesized in one pot through acetal acylation with trichloroacetyl chloride followed by acid hydrolysis. Structures of all compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and ¹H/¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. The ¹H/¹³C NMR data showed that trichloromethyl-β-diketones 2a–k in solution are predominantly ketoenol. However, the spectroscopic data from 4,4,4-trichloro-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1,3-butabedione (2l) with methyl substituent between carbonyls showed a bias toward the diketo form in solution. X-ray diffraction of monocrystals from 2g and 2i showed that these compounds are cis-ketoenol tautomers.

Synthesis and Antibacterial Studies of Some Novel 2-(Coumarin-3-yl)-5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazoles Containing 2,4,6-Trisubstituted s-Triazine Derivatives

A new series of 2-(coumarin-3-yl)-5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazoles based on various aryl thiourea/ureas incorporating a 1,3,5-s-triazine moiety is reported. The components of this series have been obtained by the reaction of cyanuric chloride (1) with 2-(coumarin-3-yl)-5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazole (2). The prepared 2-{(coumarin-3-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)-5-thio}-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine (3) was subsequently treated with morpholine (4) to form 2-{(coumarin-3-yl-1,3,4-oxadiazolyl)-5-thio}-4-(morpholino)-6-chloro-s-triazine (5). This was further treated with various substituted aryl urea/thioureas (6a–k/7a–k) to afford the title compounds 8a–k and 9a–k, which were and tested for their antibacterial activity (MIC) against different microorganisms. The structures of the novel synthesized compound have been established on the basis of ¹H NMR and FT-IR data together with elemental analysis.

Synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 1-methyl-2-dimethylaminoethyl-substituted benzimidazolium salts and N-heterocyclic carbene–silver complexes

The synthesis and antimicrobial studies of 1-methyl-2-dimethylaminoethyl-substituted carbene precursors and silver complexes are reported. The carbene precursors (1a–d) have been prepared from 1-methyl-2-dimethylaminoethyl-substituted benzimidazole and various alkyl halides. The silver–NHC complexes (2a–d) were synthesized from the benzimidazolium salts and Ag₂O in dichloromethane at room temperature. The new compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analyses. The new carbene precursors and Ag-complexes were tested for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as for their antifungal activities against Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis.     

Trans influences of Cl−, NCO− and NCS− donors on planar NiS2PN(CO), NiS2PN(CS), NiS2PCl and NiS2P2 chromophores: synthesis,NMR spectral and single crystal X-ray structural studies

Planar [Ni(bedtc)(PPh₃)Cl] (1), [Ni(bedtc)(PPh₃)(NCO)] (2), [Ni(bedtc)(PPh₃)(NCS)] (3), [Ni(bedtc)(PPh₃)(CN)] (4) and [Ni(bedtc)(dppe)]ClO₄ (5) (where bedtc = N-benzyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamate anion, PPh₃ = triphenylphosphine and dppe = 1,2-bis((diphenylphosphino)ethane)) were prepared from [Ni(bedtc)₂]. Complexes 1–5 were characterized by elemental analysis, electronic, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) spectra. Electronic spectra of the complexes show bands corresponding to dz ² → dxy/dx ² ? y ² transitions. The complexes were diamagnetic. IR and ¹³C NMR studies indicate the mesomeric flow of π-electron density from the dithiocarbamate towards the nickel. In ¹H NMR, α-CH₂–and β-CH₂–protons of–CH₂–CH₂–OH were equally deshielded. The deshielding for the coordinated phosphorus signals in ³¹P NMR spectra for all the cases compared with the free phosphine clearly manifests the drift of electron density from the phosphorus toward the metal on complexation. Single crystal X-ray structures of 1–3 indicate that nickel is in a planar environment with short >S₂C–N bond distances. In 2, a rare mode of coordination between nickel and cyanate (NCO^?) through the nitrogen is observed. Significant asymmetry in Ni–S bond distances were observed for 1–3 clearly supporting the trans influences of Cl^?, NCO^? and NCS^?, respectively, over PPh₃.     

Untersuchungen über Chinone, 9. Mitt. Über Acetylderivate vonp-Indazolchinonen

Summary Acetylation of the indazolquinones1a (6-anilino-),b (6-p-toluidino-),c (6-N-methylanilino-),g (6- or 5-methylthio-), andk (benz[f]-) by heating with acetic anhydride yields the 2-acetylindazolquinones4a, b, c, g, andk. Reductive acetylation of the quinones1c, g, h/h ₁(6/5-methyl),k and — for structure elucidation — their 1-N- (2c) and 2-N- (3c, 3e)-methyl derivatives with acetic anhydride, zink powder, and sodium acetate gives the 1-acetyl-(7c, g, h/h ₁,k), resp. 1-methyl- (8c), and 2-methyl- (9c, e) diacetoxyindazoles. In case of1k, two diacetyl derivatives were isolated in addition to the already known triacetyl derivative7k, regardless of the conditions chosen. Acetylation of the intermediate product of the reaction from phenylthio-benzoquinone with diazomethane also yields a triacetyl-hydroquinone (7f). UV/Vis, IR, and¹H NMR spectroscopy were used for structure determination. Comparison of the UV/Vis spectra of the acetyl derivatives4 with those of1, 2, 3, and of compounds7 with those of analog substituted indazols shows that the acetyl group is located in position 2 with compounds4 and in position 1 with compounds7. By means of¹H NMR spectra the position of the acetyl group can be determined by the effect of the carbonyl group on the proton in position3.

New β-orcinol depsides from Hypotrachyna caraccensis,a lichen from the páramo ecosystem and their free radical scavenging activity

The new hypotrachynin A (1) and B (2) along with the known (+)-(9b-R)-usnic (3) and methylstictic acids (4) were isolated for the first time from Hypotrachyna caraccensis. Additionally, their potency and reactivity as DPPH? scavengers was determined by a kinetic study calculating their EC₅₀ and second-order rate constants (k₂). Considering 1–4 could be dermatological agents, their n-octanol-water partition coefficients and standard molar Gibbs free energies of transfer were calculated as estimation of their lipophilicity and skin penetration. Compounds 1, 3 and 4 were less potent than 2 (EC₅₀ = 3.3014; 1.7540; 2.6652 vs 0.7376) as DPPH? scavengers, in turn 4, was the most reactive with a comparable k₂ to the antioxidant BHT (k₂ = (232 ± 24) × 10^?2 vs (564 ± 12) × 10^?2 M^?1 s^?1, respectively). Since 2 and 4 had an optimal lipophilicity and permeability for skin penetration, they might be developed as topical ingredients to prevent oxidative damage.
