The crystal structure of 5,6,7-trimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterine-dihydrochloride-monohydrate The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray analysis (direct methods) and refined with 947 structure amplitudes to R = 0.026. The crystal system is orthorhombic, space group Pna2₁, with unit cell dimensions a = 14.081, b = 14.623, c = 6.773 Å. The molecule is protonated at the N(1)- and N(5)-position. The tetrahydropyrazine ring exists in a conformation in which C(6) deviates markedly from the mean plane of the other five atoms. The CH₃-groups at N(5) and C(6) possess a trans configuration with a pseudoaxial and an axial conformation respectively. The CH₃-groups at C(6) and C(7) in return possess the cis configuration, whereby the CH₃-group at C(7) occupies an equatorial conformation.

Cyclobut-2-enones from Alkynes via Dichlorocyclobut-2-enones

The [2 + 2]-cycloaddition of dichloroketene (prepared in situ from CCl₃COCl and Zn(Cu)) with three alkynes 1a–c to form 2,3-dimethyl-( 2a ), 2,3-diethyl-( 2b ) and 3-butyl-4,4-dichlorocyclobut-2-enone ( 2c ) proceeds rapidly in the absence of POCl₃. The primary products 2a–c rearrange in situ to the 2,4-dichlorocyclobut-2-enones 3a–c under the influence of ZnCL₂ produced during the reaction. ZnCl₂ converts both 2a and 3a into a 4:6 equilibrium mixture of the two; this isomerization does not occur with LiCl. The Cl-atoms of both 2a , b and 3a , b and of 2c may reductively be removed with Zn(Cu) in AcOH/pyridine to afford the alkylcyclobutenones 4a-c . Without pyridine, this reduction gives ca. 1:1 mixtures of the double-bond isomers 4 and 5 in low yields. The cyclobutenones 2c and 4c may be deuterated by CD₃COOD in the presence of pyridine. D -Atom is introduced into 2c at C(4) and at C(γ), and into 4c at C(2) and C(4). A mechanism for this deuteration is considered, which does not involve a cyclobutadienolate 7 , but rather a cyclobutenolate of type 8 . The reductions of 2 and 3 to 4 might also pass through the same type of intermediate 8 .     

Synthesis and characterization of heavier dioxouranium(VI) dihalides

The synthesis and characterization of the dioxouranium(VI) dibromide and iodide hydrates, UO(2)Br(2)x3H(2)O (1), [UO(2)Br(2)(OH(2))(2)](2) (2), and UO(2)I(2)x2H(2)Ox4Et(2)O (3), are reported. Moreover, adducts of UO(2)I(2) and UO(2)Br(2) with large, bulky OP(NMe(2))(3) and OPPh(3) ligands such as UO(2)I(2)(OP(NMe(2))(3))(2) (4), UO(2)Br(2)(OP(NMe(2))(3))(2) (5), and UO(2)I(2)(OPPh(3))(2)(6) are discussed. The structures of the following compounds were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques: (1) monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 9.7376(8) A, b = 6.5471(5) A, c = 12.817(1) A, beta = 94.104(1) degrees , V = 815.0(1) A(3), Z = 4; (2) monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 6.0568(7) A, b = 10.5117(9) A, c = 10.362(1) A, beta = 99.62(1) degrees , V = 650.5(1) A(3), Z = 2; (4) tetragonal, P4(1)2(1)2, a = 10.6519(3) A, b = 10.6519(3) A, c = 24.0758(6) A, V = 2731.7(1) A(3), Z = 4; (5) tetragonal, P4(1)2(1)2, a = 10.4645(1) A, b = 10.4645(1) A, c = 23.7805(3) A, V = 2604.10(5) A(3), Z = 4, and (6) monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 9.6543(1) A, b = 18.8968(3) A, c = 10.9042(2) A, beta =115.2134(5) degrees , V = 1783.01(5) A(3), Z = 2. Whereas 1 and 2 are the first UO(2)Br(2) hydrates and the last missing members of the UO(2)X(2) hydrate (X = Cl --> I) series to be structurally characterized, 4 and 6 contain room-temperature stable U(VI)-I bonds with 4 being the first structurally characterized room temperature stable U(VI)-I compound which can be conveniently prepared on a gram scale in quantitative yield. The synthesis and characterization of 5 using an analogous halogen exchange reaction to that used for the preparation of 4 is also reported.     

Coligand role in the NHC nickel catalyzed C–F bond activation: investigations on the insertion of bis(NHC) nickel into the C–F bond of hexafluorobenzene

The reaction of [Ni(Mes₂Im)₂] (1) (Mes₂Im = 1,3-dimesityl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) with polyfluorinated arenes as well as mechanistic investigations concerning the insertion of 1 and [Ni(ⁱPr₂Im)₂] (1ipr) (ⁱPr₂Im = 1,3-diisopropyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene) into the C–F bond of C₆F₆ is reported. The reaction of 1 with different fluoroaromatics leads to formation of the nickel fluoroaryl fluoride complexes trans-[Ni(Mes₂Im)₂(F)(Ar^F)] (Ar^F = 4-CF₃-C₆F₄2, C₆F₅3, 2,3,5,6-C₆F₄N 4, 2,3,5,6-C₆F₄H 5, 2,3,5-C₆F₃H₂6, 3,5-C₆F₂H₃7) in fair to good yields with the exception of the formation of the pentafluorophenyl complex 3 (less than 20%). Radical species and other diamagnetic side products were detected for the reaction of 1 with C₆F₆, in line with a radical pathway for the C–F bond activation step using 1. The difluoride complex trans-[Ni(Mes₂Im)₂(F)₂] (9), the bis(aryl) complex trans-[Ni(Mes₂Im)₂(C₆F₅)₂] (15), the structurally characterized nickel(i) complex trans-[Ni^I(Mes₂Im)₂(C₆F₅)] (11) and the metal radical trans-[Ni^I(Mes₂Im)₂(F)] (12) were identified. Complex 11, and related [Ni^I(Mes₂Im)₂(2,3,5,6-C₆F₄H)] (13) and [Ni^I(Mes₂Im)₂(2,3,5-C₆F₃H₂)] (14), were synthesized independently by reaction of trans-[Ni(Mes₂Im)₂(F)(Ar^F)] with PhSiH₃. Simple electron transfer from 1 to C₆F₆ was excluded, as the redox potentials of the reaction partners do not match and [Ni(Mes₂Im)₂]⁺, which was prepared independently, was not detected. DFT calculations were performed on the insertion of [Ni(ⁱPr₂Im)₂] (1ipr) and [Ni(Mes₂Im)₂] (1) into the C–F bond of C₆F₆. For 1ipr, concerted and NHC-assisted pathways were identified as having the lowest kinetic barriers, whereas for 1, a radical mechanism with fluoride abstraction and an NHC-assisted pathway are both associated with almost the same kinetic barrier.

A combined experimental and theoretical study on the mechanism of the C–F bond activation of C₆F₆ with [Ni(NHC)₂] is provided.     

Synthese de pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoleines

A-Acetoxypyrrolo[1,2a]quinolines 26-30 were synthesized by cyclization of 2-(1-pyrroly)phenylacetic acids 21-25 with acetic anhydride. The structures of the new compounds were determined by ¹H-nmr spectroscopy.     

Neue Rheniumkomplexe mit Trichalkogenido- und Tetrachalkogenido-Chelatliganden

New Rhenium Complexes Containing Trichalcogenido and Tetrachalcogenido Chelate Ligands The reactions of Cp*ReCl₄ with polychalcogenide salts such as Na₂S₄ or (NEt₄)₂Se₆ lead initially to the violet trichalcogenido chelate complexes Cp*ReCl₂(E₃) (E = S ( 3a ), Se ( 3b )) which, due to their functional chloro ligands, can be used as intermediates for further reactions. Upon hydrolysis in moist solvents or aminolysis with tert. butylamine 3a, b are converted into the tetrachalcogenido chelate complexes Cp*Re(O)(E₄) (E = S ( 4a ), Se ( 4b )) and Cp*Re(N^tBu)(E₄) (E = S ( 5a ), Se ( 5b )), respectively. X-Ray structure analyses were carried out for the three mononuclear cyclo-oligoselenido compounds 3b–5b . It appears that the size of the Se^2?_n chelate ring (n = 3 or 4) essentially depends on steric factors within the coordination sphere of rhenium.     

Thienopyrrolizines: New condensed triheterocyclic systems

Cyclization of 3-(1-pyrrolyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide derivatives of methyl 3-(1-pyrrolyl)-2-thiophenecarboxylate afforded imminium salts and resulted in the formation of thieno[2,3-b]pyrrolizine derivatives.
