PIFA-mediated oxidative cycloisomerization of 2-propargyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds: divergent synthesis of furfuryl alcohols and furfurals

PhI(OCOCF₃)₂ (PIFA) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in CH₂Cl₂ efficiently promotes the oxidative cycloisomerization of 2-propargyl 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to give 4,5-disubstituted furfuryl alcohols. PIFA in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) or PIFA-BF₃·OEt₂ in CH₂Cl₂ bring about the direct formation of furfurals from 2-propargyl 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. In a few cases, PhIO is suitable for the direct formation of furfurals.     

Syntheses, structural, electrochemical and optical studies of heterobinuclear ruthenium-osmium alkynyl complexes

The complexes trans-[Os(CCC₆H₄-4-CCR)Cl(dppe)₂] (R = SiPrⁱ₃1, H 2), trans,trans-[(dppe)₂ClOs(CCC₆H₄-4-CC)RuX(dppe)₂] (X = Cl 3, CCC₆H₄-4-CCSiPrⁱ₃4), trans-[Os(CCC₆H₄-4-CCC₆H₄-4-CCR)Cl(dppe)₂] (R = SiPrⁱ₃5, H 6), and trans,trans-[(dppe)₂ClOs(CCC₆H₄-4-CCC₆H₄-4-CC)RuCl(dppe)₂] (7) have been synthesized, and the identities of 1, 2, and 6 confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Cyclic voltammetry shows that the mononuclear complexes 1, 2, 5, and 6 are oxidized at potentials within a narrow range (0.45-0.49 V), in processes centered on the osmium ethynyl neighbourhood and for simplicity assigned as Os^II/III, while the heterobinuclear complexes 3, 4, and 7 exhibit lower oxidation potentials for Os^II/III and a second oxidation process assigned in a similar fashion to Ru^II/III; the difference in potential between the Os- and Ru-localized processes decreases as the π-bridge is lengthened. UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical studies on 1 and 5 reveal the appearance on oxidation of a low-energy band ascribed to chloro to metal-ethynyl charge transfer. Osmium-centered oxidation at the heterobinuclear complexes 4 and 7 results in appearance of a low-energy band, which blue-shifts and increases in intensity on further oxidation to 4²⁺ and 7²⁺.     

Convenient synthesis of non-conjugated alkynyl ketones from keto aldehydes by a chemoselective one-pot nonaflation—base catalyzed elimination sequence

Keto aldehydes were selectively converted to non-conjugated alkynyl ketones possessing an unsubstituted alkyne terminus using one-pot nonaflation—base catalyzed elimination reaction sequences. Consecutive one-pot nonaflation of keto aldehydes with perfluorobutane-1-sulfonyl fluoride and elimination of the nonaflyl group using the P₁ phosphazene base resulted in the formation of a terminal CC triple bond with the keto group remaining intact. Careful optimization of the reaction conditions enabled a highly chemoselective conversion of the aldehyde function in the presence of unprotected keto groups exploiting a minor difference in acidity of their α-hydrogen atoms. Scope and limitations of the protocol as well as possible implementation of these substrates in Sonogashira coupling were explored.     

CuI-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction of organoboronic acids with alkynyl bromides

A CuI-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of organoboron derivatives with alkynyl bromides has been developed. In the presence of CuI (10 mol %) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (20 mol %), organoboron derivatives including aromatic and alkenyl boronic acids, potassium aryltrifluoroborates, and sodium tetraphenylborate reacted smoothly with 1-bromo-2-substituted acetylene to generate the corresponding cross-coupling products in good to excellent yields in C₂H₅OH. It is important to note that aromatic N,O-ligand 8-hydroxyquinoline is the most effective ligand for the reaction.     

Cycloaddition reactions of 1,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes with alkynyl ketenes

The cycloaddition reactions of ‘all-carbon’ 1,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes with a few conjugated and unconjugated alkynyl ketenes are described. The reactions provide some interesting azetidinones and dihydropyrimidinones bearing an alkynyl moiety. The regiochemistry of cycloadduct is related with the degree of conjugation of the alkynyl ketene. Moreover, two alternative approaches to ‘all-carbon’ 1,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes are reported.     

端炔基对水溶液中聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)相转变的影响

通过原子转移自由基聚合,制备出低分子量、窄分布、端炔基的线形聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(alkynylPNIPAM),利用高灵敏示差扫描微量热技术,在升—降温循环过程中确定端炔基对alkynyl-PNIPAM相转变行为的影响.结果显示,随循环次数增加,升温热容曲线明显变宽,降温热容曲线由双峰逐渐变为单峰;升温和降温的相转变温度有逐渐降低的趋势,但焓变的变化很小.聚合物的低的分子量使端基效应不可忽视,alkynylPNIPAM的端炔基可诱导分子链聚集,形成小的端基聚集体,由于这些聚集体中链内和链间氢键作用,链构象调整变得困难,导致PNIPAM链在升温时更易塌缩、降温时更难解离.     

Electronic Communication in C4-Bridged Binuclear Complexes with Paramagnetic Bisphosphane Manganese End Groups

Building blocks for conducting polymers or NLO materials are the linear, unsaturated carbon chain bridged manganese complexes 1 ⁿ⁺ (n=0–2). All oxidation states were investigated spectroscopically and by X-ray structure determinations. The analytical data confirm a communication of the electrons over the C₄ chain—a prerequisite for electrical conductivity and NLO properties of oligo- or polymeric materials.     

炔基配体对2, 6-双(N-乙基苯并咪唑)吡啶炔基铂(Ⅱ)配合物与G-四链体作用及抗癌活性的影响

合成了三种2, 6-双(N-乙基苯并咪唑)吡啶炔基铂(Ⅱ)配合物(2-4),其中配合物2的炔基配体为抗癌药物埃罗替尼.利用紫外-可见(UV-Vis)吸收光谱,圆二色(CD)光谱,荧光共振能量转移(FRET)等方法研究了铂(Ⅱ)配合物与人体端粒(Hetelo)和c-myc原癌基因(c-myc)G-四链体的相互作用.实验结果表明,所合成的铂配合物与G-四链体具有较强的相互作用(K_a > 10⁶ L·mol^-1),在无碱金属离子存在条件下能诱导G-四链体的形成.含苯乙炔基团的配合物2、3能使c-myc G-四链体的熔解温度上升24 ℃以上,而含丙炔基团的铂配合物4仅使c-mycG-四链体的熔解温度升高9.0 ℃,表明炔基结构对铂(Ⅱ)配合物与G-四连体的作用有较大影响.配合物2对人肺癌细胞A549的细胞毒性明显高于埃罗替尼及其他两种配合物3、4.
