Study of Redox-induced Reactions of Vinylidene and bis-Vinylidene Complexes of Manganese

Oxidative dehydrodimerization of some phenylvinylidene complexes of manganese is studied by cyclic voltammetry. In the case of (⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mn=C=C(H)Ph, the process occurs as the homolysis of the C–H bond in the radical cation of {(⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mn=C=C(H)Ph}^+· and the dimerization of intermediate -phenylethinyl cation [(⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mn–CC–Ph]⁺ to a binuclear dication of bis-carbine type (⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mn⁺C– C(Ph)=C(Ph)–CMn⁺(CO)₂(⁵-C₅H₅). The reduction of the latter leads to binuclear bis-vinylidene complex (⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mn=C=C(Ph)–C(Ph)=C=Mn(CO)₂(⁵-C₅H₅). Oxidative dehydrodimerization of complexes (⁵-C₅R₅)(CO)(L)Mn=C=C(H)Ph (R = H, L = PPh₃; R = Me, L = CO) occurs through the immediate C–C coupling of radical cations {(⁵-C₅R₅)(CO)(L)Mn=C=C(H)Ph}^+· and yields binuclear dication bis-carbine complexes (⁵-C₅R₅)(CO)(L)Mn⁺C–C(H)(Ph)–C(H)(Ph)–CMn⁺(CO)(L)(⁵-C₅R₅), whose reduction leads to neutral compounds (⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mn=C=C(Ph)–C(Ph)=C=Mn(CO)(L)(⁵-C₅H₅). Complex (⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mn=C=C(Ph)–C(Ph)=C=Mn(CO)₂(⁵-C₅H₅) undergoes the oxidation-induced nucleophilic addition of water, forming cyclic bis-carbene product with a bridge heterocyclic ligand (-3,4-diphenyl-2,5-dihydro-2,5-diylidene)-bis-(⁵-cyclopentadienyldicarbonyl manganese).     

Janoxepin and brevicompanine B: antiplasmodial metabolites from the fungus Aspergillus janus

Two compounds janoxepin (1) and brevicompanine B (2) were isolated from the fungus Aspergillus janus and the structures elucidated by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic methods and mass spectrometry. Janoxepin is a novel oxepin derivative with a rare d-leucine incorporated. Brevicompanine B has previously only been isolated from Penicillium brevicompactum. Both compounds were tested in antimicrobial assays and found to be active against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 (IC₅₀-values of 28 and 35 mg/ml, respectively). However, no activity was observed in antifungal or antibacterial assays.     

Synthesis and oxidation of 1-hydroxy-3(2)-imidazoline-derived enaminones

Interaction of 1-hydroxy-3-imidazoline and 3-imidazoline 3-oxide derivatives with esters in the presence of LDA gives enaminones, derivatives of imidazolidine. Oxidation of these compounds with MnO₂ leads to4H-imidazoleN-oxides, oxidative dirnerization products, or stable nitroxyl radicals, depending on the structure of the initial compound.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Simultaneous determination of acidic,basic and alcoholic substances relating to monoamine hormones and metabolites in biological material by mass fragmentography (GC/MF)

A method is described for the simultaneous quantitative determination of monoamines and related compounds from urine and brain tissue samples in the pg-range, using a GC/MF instrument LKB-2091 provided with a multiple ion detection (MID) system and capillary columns. The simultaneous detection of “fingerprints” with fourteen and more compounds during one single GC run was achieved after the intoduction of “time gates” for the detection of the different characteristic masses. Several modifications to the LKB equipment permitted exact reproducibility of retention times, which is essential for the use of “time gates”. The detection of “fingerprints” with these acidic, basic and alcoholic substances was achieved by the extraction of the dried biological samples with silylating agents.

Computational examination of the electrophilic reaction on oxidative polymerization of phenyltrimethylsilane with sulfur chloride

Phenyltrimethylsilane possesses a higher HOMO energy (–9.34 eV) than nonsubstituted benzene (>0.41 eV). The π electron of the phenyltrimethylsilane localizes on the benzene ring at the ipso position rather than at the para position. Two center energies calculated by the MNDO-PM3 method indicate that the C? Si bond is facilitated to cleave in comparison with the C? H (para position) one of the benzene ring. Phenyltrimethylsilane and phenyl bis(trimethylsilane) were polymerized with sulfur chloride through the cationic oxidative polymerization. The product is isolated as oligo(p-phenylene sulfide), with a melting point of 150–190°C. An electrophile attacks the carbon atom linked to the Si atom in phenyltrimethylsilane. The new synthetic route of PPS can be established on the basis of the computational calculation.

Purines, pyrimidines, and related fused systems. 20. Heterocyclizations of 6-alkynyl-1,3-dimethyllumazines. Synthesis of pyrrole and thiophene analogs of some natural pteridines

Sonogashira cross-coupling of 6-chloro-1,3-dimethyllumazine with terminal alkynes gave 6-alkynyl derivatives in good yields. Oxidative amination of the latter with primary alkylamines was accompanied by the pyrrole-ring closure to form 1-R"-2-R-6,8-dimethylpyrrolo[3,2-g]pteridine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones. The addition of bromine to 6-alkynyllumazines afforded the corresponding dibromoalkenes whose treatment with sodium trithiocarbonate gave rise to 2-R-6,8-dimethylthieno[3,2-g]pteridine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones. The latter compounds are close analogs of the metabolite of molybdenum cofactor (molybdopterine).
