Palladium(II)-allyl complexes containing chiral N-donor ferrocenyl ligands

A study of the reactivity of enantiopure ferrocenylimine (S_C)-[FcCHN-CH(Me)(Ph)] {Fc =  (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe{(η⁵-C₅H₄)-} (1a) with palladium(II)-allyl complexes [Pd(η³-1R¹,3R²-C₃H₃)(μ-Cl)]₂ {R¹ = H and R² = H (2), Ph (3) or R¹ = R² = Ph (4)} is reported. Treatment of 1a with 2 or 3 {in a molar ratio Pd(II):1a = 1} in CH₂Cl₂ at 298 K produced [Pd(η³-3R²-C₃H₄){FcCHN-CH(Me)(Ph)}Cl] {R² = H (5a) or Ph (6a)}. When the reaction was carried out under identical experimental conditions using complex 4 as starting material no evidence for the formation of [Pd(η³-1,3-Ph₂-C₃H₃){FcCHN-CH(Me)(Ph)}Cl] (7a) was found. Additional studies on the reactivity of (S_C)-[FcCHN-CH(R³)(CH₂OH)] {R³ = Me (1b) or CHMe₂ (1c)} with complex 4 showed the importance of the bulk of the substituents on the palladium(II) allyl-complex (2-4) or on the ferrocenylimines (1) in this type of reaction. The crystal structure of 5a showed that: (a) the ferrocenylimine adopts an anti-(E) conformation and behaves as an N-donor ligand, (b) the chloride is in acis-arrangement to the nitrogen and (c) the allyl group binds to the palladium(II) in a η³-fashion. Solution NMR studies of 5a and 6a and [Pd(η³-1,3-Ph₂-C₃H₃){FcCHN-CH(Me)(CH₂OH)}Cl] (7b) revealed the coexistence of several isomers in solution. The stoichiometric reaction between 6a and sodium diethyl 2-methylmalonate reveals that the formation of the achiral linear trans-(E) isomer of Ph-CHCH-CH₂Nu (8) was preferred over the branched derivative (9). A comparative study of the potential utility of ligand 1a, complex 5a and the amine (S_C)-H₂N-CH(Me)(Ph) (11) as catalysts in the allylic alkylation of (E)-3-phenyl-2-propenyl (cinnamyl) acetate with the nucleophile diethyl 2-methylmalonate (Nu⁻) is reported.

Ion‐Free and Ion‐Pairing Assemblies of Anion‐Responsive π‐Electronic Systems Possessing Directly Linked Alkyl Chains

Alkyl‐substituted pyrrole‐based anion‐responsive π‐electronic systems formed supramolecular gels and liquid crystals through effective π–π stacking and van der Waals interactions. The addition of chloride as a planar cation salt afforded ion‐pairing assemblies as soft materials comprising planar receptor‐Cl^? complexes and the cation.     

Negatively Charged π‐Electronic Systems by Deprotonation of Hydroxy‐Substituted Dipyrrolyldiketone Boron Complexes

Boron complexes of meso‐hydroxy‐substituted dipyrrolyldiketones, as the precursors of negatively charged π‐electronic systems, were synthesized via the oxidative introduction of an acetoxy unit at the meso position of dipyrrolyldiketones and subsequent hydrolysis. The anionic site formed upon deprotonation was moderately stabilized by hydrogen‐bond‐donating pyrrole NH, generating non‐complexing anionic species.     

Synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives through unsymmetric Hantzsch reaction using organocatalysts

A novel and green approach for efficient and rapid synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives via unsymmetric Hantzsch reaction using organocatalysts at room temperature was reported. The process is a simple, environmentally friendly, rapid, and high yielding reaction for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives. The catalytic efficiency of various small organocatalysts such as l-proline, trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline, l-thiaproline, dl-phenylglycine, and (−)-cinchonidine was studied under aqueous, organic, and solvent free conditions.     

Synthesis of N-functionalized oleamide derivatives

Oleamide is an interesting compound, which shows various pharmacological activities including the inhibitory effect of gap junction formation. Recently, the studies of the gap junction have been some of the hot topics in biology and its inhibitors have become more useful tools [Cravatt, B. F.; Garcia, O. P.; Siuzdak, G.; Gilula, N. B.; Henriksen, S. J.; Boger, D. L.; Lerner, R. A. Science1995, 268, 1506-1509; Cravatt, B. F.; Lerner, R. A.; Boger, D. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc.1996, 118, 580-590; Guan, X; Cravatt, B. F.; Ehring, G. R.; Hall, J. E.; Boger, D. L.; Lerner, R. A.; Gilula, N. B. J. Cell Biol.1997, 139, 1785-1792; Boger, D. L.; Patterson, J. E.; Guan, X.; Cravatt, B. F.; Lerner, R. A.; Gilula, N. B. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.1998, 95, 4810-4815; Ito, A.; Morita, N.; Miura, D.; Koma, Y.; Kataoka, T. R.; Yamasaki, H.; Kitamura, Y.; Kita, Y.; Nojima, H. Carcinogenesis2004, 25, 2015-2022]. However, many reports suggest that the functionalizations of oleamide to retain its biological activity were difficult [Boger, D. L.; Patterson, J. E.; Guan, X.; Cravatt, B. F.; Lerner, R. A.; Gilula, N. B. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.1998, 95, 4810-4815; Ito, A.; Morita, N.; Miura, D.; Koma, Y.; Kataoka, T. R.; Yamasaki, H.; Kitamura, Y.; Kita, Y.; Nojima, H. Carcinogenesis2004, 25, 2015-2022]. The synthesis of the functionalized oleamide derivatives, whose biological activity is not blocked, has become attractive in both the biological and chemical fields.Herein, by linking the fluorophore to the oleamide by alkyl chains, we synthesized the fluorescently tagged oleamide whose biological feature is similar to that of oleamide. Moreover, we also synthesized other bioactive derivatives tagged by other groups such as the sugars and biotin via alkyl chain linkers.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of highly water-soluble perylene derivatives

Most known perylene diimides are lipophilic, with few exceptions of hydrophilic derivatives. Even in the latter case, the compounds have limited water solubility and show a strong tendency to self-aggregation. In this paper we present the synthesis of four new perylene derivatives with three and four basic side chains, obtained by functionalizing the bay-area of perylene. These molecules show great solubility in aqueous media as hydrochlorides and their tendency to self-aggregate is remarkably reduced with respect to the previously synthesized two-chained perylene diimides. Their different spectroscopic properties in various solvents and conditions are reported and discussed.     

Colorimetric anion chemosensor based on 2-aminobenzimidazole: naked-eye detection of biologically important anions

We synthesized a novel colorimetric anion chemosensor bearing benzimidazole motifs as recognition sites in the pods of the receptor. The addition of tetrabutylammonium salts of F⁻ or AcO⁻ to the solution of receptor caused dramatic color changes from colorless to yellow, which was clearly visible to the naked eye. The receptor showed no significant changes on addition of other anions such as Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻, NO₃⁻, and H₂PO₄⁻.
