Synthesis and characterization of 1‐ and 2‐cinnamoyloxyacetonaphthones

The synthesis of 1‐ and 2‐cinnamoyloxyacetonaphthones was achieved in one step using hydroxyl acetonaphthones and substituted cinnamic acids in the presence of a catalytic amount of phosphoroxychloride. Structural characterization was accomplished using high‐resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Chemical shifts of the compounds were compared and the change in the chemical shifts relative to electron‐donating and ‐withdrawing groups is presented. Introduction of a thiophene ring instead of phenyl‐substituted analogs caused shielding of the olefinic proton. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A series of novel thiazolidinones, that is, 2‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐((aryl)‐diazenyl)phenyl)‐3‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐thiazolidin‐4‐one, have been synthesized by reaction of various Schiff bases 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenylimino)methyl)‐4‐(aryl)diazenyl)phenol with ethanolic thioglycolic acid. Schiff bases were obtained by the reactions of 4‐amino phenol with 2‐hydroxy‐5‐((aryl)diazenyl)benzaldehyde. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectra, and C, H, N elemental analysis. The thiazolidinone derivatives were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity.     

Reactions of 1‐(3‐aryl‐3‐oxopropenyl)azulenes and 1‐cinnamoylazulenes with malononitrile: Synthesis of 1‐(2‐aryl‐4‐pyridyl)azulenes and 1‐(4‐aryl‐2‐pyridyl)azulenes

The reactions of 1‐formyl‐3‐methoxycarbonylazulene ( 1 ) with acetophenones 3a‐e gave 1‐(3‐aryl‐3‐oxopropenyl)‐3‐methoxycarbonylazulenes 4a‐e which reacted with malononitrile in the presence of sodium methoxide to afford 1‐(2‐aryl‐4‐pyridyl)‐3‐methoxycarbonylazulenes 9a‐d , except for 4′‐nitro‐substituted compounds. Heating of the compounds 9a‐d in 100% phosphoric acid yielded 1‐(2‐aryl‐4‐pyridyl)azulenes 10a‐d . In a similar manner, 1‐(4‐aryl‐2‐pyridyl)azulenes 12a‐1 and 1‐[4‐(2‐furyl)‐ and 4‐(2‐thienyl)‐2‐pyridyl)]azulenes 14a,b were obtained.     

Linear Free‐Energy Relationships Applied to the 13C NMR Chemical Shifts in 4‐Substituted N‐[1‐(Pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines

Two series of 4‐substituted N‐[1‐(pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines have been synthesized using different methods of conventional and microwave‐assisted synthesis, and linear free‐energy relationships have been applied to the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the carbon atoms of interest. The substituent‐induced chemical shifts have been analyzed using single substituent parameter and dual substituent parameter methods. The presented correlations describe satisfactorily the field and resonance substituent effects having similar contributions for C1 and the azomethine carbon, with exception of the carbon atom in para position to the substituent X. In both series, negative ρ values have been found for C1′ atom (reverse substituent effect). Quantum chemical calculations of the optimized geometries at MP2/6‐31G++(d,p) level, together with ¹³C NMR chemical shifts, give a better insight into the influence of the molecular conformation on the transmission of electronic substituent effects. The comparison of correlation results for different series of imines with phenyl, 4‐nitrophenyl, 2‐pyridyl, 3‐pyridyl, 4‐pyridyl group attached at the azomethine carbon with the results for 4‐substituted N‐[1‐(pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines for the same substituent set (X) indicates that a combination of the influences of electronic effects of the substituent X and the π₁‐unit can be described as a sensitive balance of different resonance structures.     

Investigations on regio‐ and stereoselectivities in cycloadditions involving α‐ (3‐pyridyl)‐N‐phenylnitrone: Development of an efficient route to novel nicotine analogs

Thermal reactions of hitherto α‐(3‐pyridyl)‐N‐phenylnitrone ( 1 ) with mono‐substituted electron‐rich and electron‐neutral dipolarophiles are regio‐, and stereo‐selective (exo‐selective), controlled by LUMO ‐ dipole ‐ HOMO‐ dipolarophile interaction, and furnish syn‐5‐substituted‐3‐(3‐pyridyl)‐isoxazolidines ( 5 ) in high yields. With electron deficient dipolarophiles such as acrylonitrile there is observed a loss of regioselectivity as well as stereoselectivity and the regioselectivity is reversed in reactions with methyl vinyl ketone and methyl acrylate, due to intervention of HOMO‐dipole ‐ LUMO‐dipolarophile interaction, affording 4‐substi‐tuted‐3‐(3‐pyridyl)‐isoxazolidines ( 7 ) as major products. Reactions of nitrone ( 1 ) with disubstituted dipolarophiles such as methyl methacrylate and ethyl coronate furnish methyl syn‐5‐methy‐3‐pyridyl‐1‐phenyl‐isoxazolidine‐5‐carboxylate ( 8 ) and ethyl anti‐5‐methy‐3‐pyridyl‐1‐phenyl‐isoxazolidine‐4‐carboxylate ( 10 ), respectively, in high yields. Reaction with N‐Phenylmaleimide affords novel isoxazolidino‐pyrro‐lidinediones bearing a 3‐pyridyl moiety ( 11, 12 ). A mechanistic rationalization of the obtained results in terms of electronic, steric and secondary interactions is proffered.

A general method for preparation of benzothiazole derivatives including oxidative cyclization of the corresponding Schiff bases was reported. Herein, we have been synthesized a series of new acyclic‐substituted bis(2‐arylbenzothiazoles). Synthesis of analogs substituted in the benzothiazole ring was achieved via the direct condensation reaction of o‐aminothiophenol with some of dialdehyde compounds under catalyst free in high yields. The structure of these products has been fully characterized by physical and spectroscopic data such as IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, UV‐Vis, MS, and CHN analysis.

Synthesis and characterization of biologically active new Schiff bases containing 3‐functionalized 1,2,4‐triazoles and their zinc(II) complexes: crystal structure of 4‐bromo‐2‐[(E)‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐ylimino)‐ methyl]phenol

Biologically active triazole Schiff bases ( L ¹  L ³ ) derived from the reaction of 3‐amino‐1,2,4‐triazole with chloro‐, bromo‐ and nitro‐ substituted salicylaldehydes and their Zn(II) complexes (1–3) have been synthesized and characterized by their physical, spectral and analytical data. Triazole Schiff bases potentially act as tridentate ligands and coordinate with the Zn(II) metal atom through salicylidene‐O, azomethine‐N and triazole‐N. The complexes have the general formula [M(L‐H)₂], where M = zinc(II) and L = ( L ¹ – L ³ ), and observe an octahedral geometry. The Schiff bases and their Zn(II) complexes have been screened for in‐vitro antibacterial, antifungal and brine shrimp bioassay. The biological activity data show the Zn(II) complexes to be more potent antibacterial and antifungal than the parent simple Schiff bases. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Design,Synthesis and Antitumor Activity of Asymmetric Bis(s‐triazole Schiff‐base)s Bearing Functionalized Side‐Chain

1‐Amino‐2‐pyrid‐3‐yl‐5‐(2‐benzoylethylthio)‐s‐triazole ( 1 ) was condensed with 1‐amino‐3‐mercapto‐5‐ [(un)substituted phenyl]‐s‐triazoles and subsequently substituted with chloroacetic acid to afford bis‐s‐triazole sulfanylacetic acid mono‐Schiff bases ( 3a – 3e ), which were condensed with 9‐formylanthracene to produce asymmetric bis(s‐triazole Schiff base) sulfanylacetic acids ( 4a – 4e ). The structures of new synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data, and their in vitro antitumor activity against L1210, CHO and HL60 cell lines was evaluted via the respective IC₅₀ values by methylthiazole trazolium (MTT) assay.

A highly efficient synthesis of (Z)‐1‐aryl‐2‐silyl‐1‐ stannylethenes and their conversion to (E)‐2‐ arylethenyl‐, (Z)‐2‐(2‐pyridyl)ethenyl‐ and allenyl‐silanes

A Pd(dba)₂–P(OEt)₃ combination allowed the silastannation of arylacetylenes, 1‐hexyne or propargyl alcohols with tributyl(trimethylsilyl)stannane to take place at room temperature, producing (Z)‐2‐silyl‐1‐stannyl‐1‐substituted ethenes in high yields. Novel silyl(stannyl)ethenes were fully characterized by ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, ²⁹Si‐ and ¹¹⁹Sn‐NMR as well as infrared and mass analyses. Treatment of a series of (Z)‐1‐aryl‐2‐silyl‐1‐stannylethenes and (Z)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐2‐silyl‐1‐stannylethene with hydrochloric acid or hydroiodic acid in the presence of tetraethylammonium chloride (TEACl) or tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) led to the exclusive formation of (E)‐trimethyl(2‐arylethenyl)silanes with high stereoselectivity. A similar reaction of (Z)‐1‐(2‐anisyl)‐2‐silyl‐1‐stannylethene also produced E‐type trimethyl[2‐(2‐anisyl)ethenyl]silane, while (Z)‐trimethyl [2‐(2‐pyridyl)ethenyl]silane was produced exclusively from (Z)‐1‐(2‐pyridyl)‐2‐silyl‐1‐stannylethene. Protodestannylation of (Z)‐1‐[hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]‐2‐silyl‐1‐stannylethene with trifluoroacetic acid took place via the β‐elimination of hydroxystannane, providing trimethyl(3‐phenylpropa‐1,2‐dienyl)silane quite easily. The destannylation products were also fully characterized. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and characterization of diorganotin(IV) complexes of Schiff bases with ONO‐type donors and crystal structure of [N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐nitrophenyl)‐3‐ethoxysalicylideneiminato]diphenyltin(IV)

A series of neutral complexes, namely, [N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐nitrophenyl)‐3‐hydroxysalicylideneiminato]‐ diphenyltin(IV) ( Ia ), [N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐nitrophenyl)‐3‐methoxysalicylideneiminato]diphenyltin(IV) ( IIa ) and [N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐nitrophenyl)‐3‐ethoxysalicylideneiminato]diphenyltin(IV) ( IIIa ) were prepared by the reaction of diphenyltin dichloride on the corresponding Schiff bases. The Schiff bases were the reaction products of 2‐hydroxy‐4‐nitroaniline and appropriate salicylaldehydes. All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. Compound IIIa was also characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction and shows a C₂NO₂ coordination geometry nearly half‐way between a trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal arrangement. In the solid state, π? π interactions exist between the aniline fragments of neighbouring molecules. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

2‐Formylchromones and 3‐formylchromones as the first materials singly reacted with 2‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole to give the corresponding Schiff bases, which on cyclocondensation with mercapto‐acetic acid in 1,4‐dioxane yielded target compounds named 4‐oxo‐thiazolidines. The structures of all the synthetic compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR, LC‐MS (ESI) spectral data.     

Planar 2‐Pyridyl‐1,2,3‐triazole Derived Metallo‐ligands: Self‐assembly with PdCl2 and Photocatalysis

Self‐assembled metallosupramolecular architectures (MSAs) with built‐in functionalities such as light‐harvesting metal centers are a promising approach for developing emergent properties within discrete molecular systems. Herein we describe the synthesis of two new but simple “click” ligands featuring a bidentate 2‐pyridyl‐1,2,3‐triazole chelate pocket linked to a monodentate pyridyl (either 3‐ or 4‐substituted, L1 and L2 ) unit. The ligands and the corresponding four Pd^IIand Pt^IImetallo‐ligands ( Pd1 , Pd2 , Pt1 and Pt2 ) were synthesized and characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS), and X‐ray crystallography. Solid‐state characterization of the series of ligands and metallo‐ligands revealed that these compounds display a co‐planar conformation of all the aryl units. The Pt^IIcontaining metallo‐ligands ( Pt1 and Pt2 ) were found to assemble into square ( Sqr ) and triangular ( Tri ) shaped architectures when combined with neutral PdCl₂ linker units. Additionally, the ability of the Pt^IImetallo‐ligands and Tri to photocatalyze the cycloaddition of singlet oxygen to anthracene was investigated.     

Two (E)‐2‐({[4‐(dialkylamino)phenyl]imino}methyl)‐4‐nitrophenols

The slow evaporation of analytical NMR samples resulted in the formation of crystals of (E)‐2‐({[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]imino}methyl)‐4‐nitrophenol, C₁₅H₁₅N₃O₃, (I), and (E)‐2‐({[4‐(diethylamino)phenyl]imino}methyl)‐4‐nitrophenol, C₁₇H₁₉N₃O₃, (II). Despite the small structural difference between these two N‐salicylideneaniline derivatives, they show different space groups and diverse molecular packing. The molecules of both compounds are close to being planar due to an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. The 4‐alkylamino‐substituted benzene ring is inclined at an angle of 13.44 (19)° in (I) and 2.57 (8)° in (II) with respect to the 4‐nitro‐substituted phenol ring. Only very weak intermolecular π–π stacking and C—H...O interactions were found in these structures.
