Synthesis and Characterization of Rhenium(V) Oxo Complexes with a New Thiol-Amide-Thiourea Ligand System. X-ray Crystal Structure of [1-Phenyl-3-[2-((2-thioacetyl)amino)ethyl]thioureato]oxorhenium(V)

General methods for preparing Re(V)O complexes with a novel series of thiol-amide-thiourea (TATU) ligands, a new class of N(2)S(2) chelates, were developed. The TATU ligands, the first multidentate systems designed with a bidentate thiourea moiety, have been used to prepare the first high-valent transition metal complexes with bidentate thiourea coordination. Direct reaction of N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-((triphenylmethyl)thio)acetamide (1) with phenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, and methyl isothiocyanate afforded ready access to the corresponding S-protected TATU ligands in one step. A two-step preparation of the N,N-dimethylthiourea TATU ligand derived from 1 was also developed. Deprotection of thiols in trifluoroacetic acid with triethylsilane followed by a ligand exchange reaction with Re(V)O precursors yielded neutral ReO(TATU) complexes. The structure of [1-phenyl-3-[2-((2-thioacetyl)amino)ethyl]thioureato]oxorhenium(V) (6a) was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Crystal data for 6a: C(11)H(12)N(3)O(2)ReS(2), fw 468.6, orthorhombic, Pca2(1); a = 22.605(5) ?, b = 13.029(3) ?, c= 9.698(2) ?; V = 2856.3(11) ?(3); Z = 8. The coordination environment of 6a was pseudo-square-pyramidal with a deprotonated thiol S, deprotonated amide N, deprotonated thiourea N, and thiocarbonyl S coordinated in the basal plane and the oxo ligand in the apical position. The thiourea function forms a four-membered chelate ring in the multidentate TATU ligands. The two N-C and the S-C bond distances within the monodeprotonated thiourea moiety were typical of bonds with multiple-bond character. Solution (1)H NMR data for all five complexes were consistent with the solid-state structure of 6a. A broad singlet attributable to the uncoordinated NH group of thiourea was observed for the monosubstituted thiourea complexes but was not present for the N,N-dimethylthiourea derivative. Instead, two singlets of equal intensity were observed for the two methyl groups, indicating that there is restricted rotation around the C-N(CH(3))(2) bond and an extended pi system in the thiourea moiety. The four-membered ring might cause difficulty because the M-S distance would be relatively long in an undistorted ligand. This may be the reason such chelate ligands have not been previously investigated. However, the N-C-S angle narrows to approximately 105 degrees, permitting a Re-S bond with a typical bond length to be formed. We conclude that such a ring represents a versatile new building block to create multidentate ligands.     

An Efficient Straightforward Synthesis of Benz[a]azulene

Benz[a]azulene ( 1 ) is synthesized in five steps (cf. Scheme 2) starting from commercially available 2-iodobenzyl alcohol ( 4 ) and tropylium tetrafluoroborate in an overall yield of 44%. The key step (cf. also Scheme 1) is the intramolecular Heck reaction of the 8-phenylsulfonyl-substituted heptafulvene 7 , which leads in nearly quantitative yield directly to 10-(phenylsulfonyl)benz[a]azulene ( 8 ). The desulfonylation of 8 can be accomplished by Julia's method with Na₂S₂O₄/NaHCO₃ in DMF/H₂O at 85–90°, thus leading to pure 1 in 78% yield. The phenylation of 8 with PhLi or PhCul at ?78° in THF occurs regioselectively at C(9). Dehydrogenation of the formed dihydroazulenes with o-chloroanil in toluene at room temperature gives 9-phenyl-10-(phenylsulfonyl)-benz[a]azulene ( 9 ) in 70% yield (cf. Scheme 3), which, again, can be desulfonylated with Na₂S₂O₄/NaHCO₃ in DMF/H₂O in good yields. The addition of PhLi to 1 in THF occurs at temperatures ? ?25°. Ionic dehydrogenation (1. Ph₃C⁺BF/MeCN; 2. Et₃N) of the dihydro forms leads to 3 , as the main product, and its positional isomers.     

Oxydative Kupplung von Indolinen und 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydrochinolinen mit Kaliumpermanganat. 153. Mitteilung über Alkaloide

It is shown that treatment of indolines like 4a-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-hexahydrocarbazole ( 1 ) and even indoline-alkaloids like 5 or 6 (cf. scheme 1) with KMnO₄ in boiling acetone solution leads to the indolenines 10, 29 and 33 , respectively, and, in relatively high yields, to N,N′- or C,N-coupling products (cf. schemes 2 and 5). The results of the oxidation of 6- or 8-methoxy-indolines are shown in schemes 3 and 4, respectively. Analogous ‘dimeric’ dehydrogenation products are observed when tetrahydroquinolines ( 8 and 9 , resp.) are treated with KMnO₄ (cf. schemes 7 and 8, resp.). The formation of the bis-compounds is almost certainly due to the coupling of two intermediate indolenyl or tetrahydroquinolyl radicals. The cleavage of the hydrazine derivatives 11 or 17 (scheme 9) also leads to ‘dimeric’ C,N-coupling products. By heating the hydrazine derivative 17 with aqueous HCl, a complete cleavage into indoline 2 and the indolenines 16 and 20 is observed. The reaction is rationalized in scheme 10. So far no naturally occurring alkaloids related to the above mentioned C,N-coupling products have been found.     

Pruning of orbits in four-disk and hyperbola billiards

It is shown that for the four-disk system and the hyperbola billiard it is possible to construct a new symbolic plane preserving the orientation existing in the dynamical space. Physical orbits are mapped into the topological well-ordered plane and it is shown that the forbidden and allowed orbits are separated by a monotone pruning front.     

Global optimization of univariate Lipschitz functions: II. New algorithms and computational comparison

We consider the following global optimization problems for a Lipschitz functionf implicitly defined on an interval [a, b]. Problem P: find a globally-optimal value off and a corresponding point; Problem Q: find a set of disjoint subintervals of [a, b] containing only points with a globally-optimal value and the union of which contains all globally optimal points. A two-phase algorithm is proposed for Problem P. In phase I, this algorithm obtains rapidly a solution which is often globally-optimal. Moreover, a sufficient condition onf for this to be the case is given. In phase II, the algorithm proves the-optimality of the solution obtained in phase I or finds a sequence of points of increasing value containing one with a globally-optimal value. The new algorithm is empirically compared (on twenty problems from the literature) with a best possible algorithm (for which the optimal value is assumed to be known), with a passive algorithm and with the algorithms of Evtushenko, Galperin, Shen and Zhu, Piyavskii, Timonov and Schoen. For small, the new algorithm requires only a few percent more function evaluations than the best possible one. An extended version of Piyavskii's algorithm is proposed for problem Q. A sufficient condition onf is given for the globally optimal points to be in one-to-one correspondance with the obtained intervals. This result is achieved for all twenty test problems.The research of the authors has been supported by AFOSR grants 0271 and 0066 to Rutgers University.

Limits of balayage measures

LetA be a subset of a balayage space (X,W) and a measure onX. It is shown that for every sequence _n of measures such that lim_nn and lim_{n n} ^A = the limit measure is of the formf+[(1-f)]^A for some (unique) Borel function 0f1_Cb(A). Furthermore, conditions are given such that any such functionf occurs.
