Crystal structure,spectroscopic characterization,DFT computations and molecular docking study of a synthesized Zn(II) complex

The Zn(II) complex, dichloro[N-hydroxy-1,1-di(2-pyridinyl)methanimine]zinc(II), was synthesized from the reaction between ZnCl₂ and di-2-pyridylketone oxime. The structural and spectral characterizations were performed by using single crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, Laser-Raman, NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques. To support experimental evidences, computational results were obtained with the DFT/B3LYP method using the 6-311++G(d,p)+LanL2DZ mixed basis set. Theoretical analyses of some structural and spectroscopic results of effects of intermolecular Cl···H interactions in the crystal packing of the Zn(II) complex were investigated with the mentioned computational level. The non-bonding interactions in the experimental crystal packing of the complex were examined by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The HOMO and LUMO analyses were used for investigation of electronic transitions obtained with UV–Vis spectroscopy. NBO analyses were used to investigate the hyperconjugation interactions between donor and acceptor groups, coordination environment, electronic configuration and electron numbers of the Zn(II) metal ion and the natural atomic charges of the complex. The nucleophilic and electrophilic reactive sites of the complex were studied by MEP surface analysis. The static polarizabilities (α) and static hyperpolarizabilities (β) were analyzed theoretically to characterize NLO profile of the complex. The interaction with A-DNA (PDB ID: 1ZF6) of the Zn(II) complex was investigated with a molecular docking study.     

Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone by molecular oxygen with Fe–Sn–O mixed oxides as catalysts

Fe–Sn–O mixed oxides were synthesized and used as catalysts for Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone, which showed both high catalytic activity and selectivity. X‐ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggested that the Fe–Sn–O catalysts had a tetragonal structure with a grain size of 29.3 nm. An ε‐caprolactone yield as high as 98.8% was obtained in a small‐scale experiment (5 mmol of cyclohexanone). In a scale‐up test (20 mmol of cyclohexanone), the cyclohexanone conversion and ε‐caprolactone yield were 96.7 and 96.5%, respectively. In addition, the catalysts can be reused five times without any major decline in catalytic activity. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Heterogeneous copper‐catalyzed oxidative coupling of oxime acetates with sodium sulfinates: An efficient and practical synthesis of β‐keto sulfones

An efficient and practical route to β‐keto sulfones has been developed through heterogeneous oxidative coupling of oxime acetates with sodium sulfinates by using an MCM‐41‐supported Schiff base‐pyridine bidentate copper (II) complex [MCM‐41‐Sb,Py‐Cu (OAc)₂] as the catalyst and oxime acetates as an internal oxidant, followed by hydrolysis. The reaction generates a variety of β‐keto sulfones in good to excellent yields. This new heterogeneous copper (II) catalyst can be easily prepared via a simple procedure from readily available and inexpensive reagents and exhibits the same catalytic activity as Cu (OAc)₂. MCM‐41‐Sb,Py‐Cu (OAc)₂ is also easy to recover and is recyclable up to eight times with almost consistent activity.     

Insights into the Mechanism and Catalysis of Oxime Coupling Chemistry at Physiological pH

The dynamic covalent‐coupling reaction involving α‐effect nucleophiles has revolutionized bioconjugation approaches, due to its ease and high efficiency. Key to its success is the discovery of aniline as a nucleophilic catalyst, which made this reaction feasible under physiological conditions. Aniline however, is not so effective for keto substrates. Here, we investigate the mechanism of aniline activation in the oxime reaction with aldehyde and keto substrates. We also present carboxylates as activating agents that can promote the oxime reaction with both aldehyde and keto substrates at physiological pH. This rate enhancement circumvents the influence of α‐effect by forming H‐bonds with the rate‐limiting intermediate, which drives the reaction to completion. The combination of aniline and carboxylates had a synergistic effect, resulting in a ～14–31‐fold increase in reaction rate at pD 7.4 with keto substrates. The biocompatibility and efficiency of carboxylate as an activating agent is demonstrated by performing cell‐surface oxime labeling at physiological pH using acetate, which showed promising results that were comparable with aniline.     

Asymmetric cross-aldol reaction of isatin and ketones catalyzed by crude earthworm extract as efficient biocatalyst

ABSTRACT

The asymmetric cross-aldol reaction of simple ketones (acetone, cyclohexanone) with isatin derivatives in the presence of crude extract from earthworms as green and effective biocatalyst proceeds easily in MeCN/H₂O (1:1) as solvent to afford 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles derivatives. Ten compounds were synthesized in high yields (62–88%) and moderate ee (29–42%). Structure of the synthesized compounds has been characterized on the basis of NMR spectra and CHN analysis. The ee of the obtained compounds was determined by chiral phase HPLC analysis.     

Control of chain ends of polyesters in polycondensation of AA and BB monomers by use of solid‐phase reagent

For selective synthesis of linear polyester having a functional group at one end, polycondensation between 1,4‐butanediol ( 1a ) and sebacoyl chloride ( 2a ) and between 1,12‐dodecanediol ( 1b ) and isophthaloyl chloride ( 2b ) was conducted in the presence of oxime resin or oxime silica gel, followed by cleavage of the formed polyester from the solid‐phase support with aniline. Matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectra and ¹H NMR spectra of the cleaved polyester showed that the products contained not only polyester with anilide at one end ( poly 1 ), but also polyester with anilides at both ends ( poly 2 ). The product ratio of poly 1 to poly 2 ( poly 1 / poly 2 ) was dependent on monomers, monomer concentration, feed ratio of monomer to oxime moiety in the support, oxime content in the support, reaction solvent, and the nature of the support. Polyester with a high poly 1 / poly 2 ratio of 81/21 and moderate molecular weight (M_n = 1430 g/mol) was obtained by polycondensation of 1b and 2b in the presence of oxime silica gel in dichloromethane. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystal structure of γ-2-trans-2,6-diphenylthian-1,1-dioxide-4-one oxime, C17H17NO3S

The X-ray crystal structure of -2-trans-2,6-diphenylthian-1,1-dioxide-4-one oxime is determined [C₁₇H₁₇NO₃S, space group P2₁ n, a = 8.177(1) b = 9.574(1)c = 19.730(5) Å, = 97.35(5)°]. The oxime group does not form an oxime dimer, but is involved in an O-H···O=S hydrogen bond.     

Structural characterization of a zinc(II) complex of a tris(oxime)amine ligand

The ligand tris(1-propan-2-onyl oxime)amine (TRISOXH₃) binds to zinc(II) acetate as a tridentate N₃ donor, with a third oxime group remaining unbound and extending into the crystal lattice. The crystal structure shows a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the zinc center. An intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction between a coordinated oxime donor and an oxygen of a bound acetate is observed. This structure is similar to that of a previously reported zinc(II) complex of a related bis(oxime)amine ligand. However, the structure of Zn(TRISOXH₃)(OAc)₂ is different in ligand coordination mode and metal coordination number from those of the previously reported complexes Ni(TRISOXH₃)Cl₂ or [Ni(TRISOXH₃)(NO₃)(H₂O)]NO₃.
