X-ray structure and multinuclear NMR studies of platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes with 5,7-ditertbutyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine

Pt(II) and Pd(II) dichloride complexes with 5,7-ditertbutyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (dbtp) have been synthesized and characterized by infrared and ¹H, ¹³C NMR, ¹³C CPMAS spectroscopy. The structures of the cis-PtCl₂(dbtp)₂ · EtOH (1) and cis-PdCl₂(dbtp)(dmso) (2) has been determined by signal-crystal X-ray diffraction. In both complexes the X-ray crystal structures shows that heterocycle ligand (dbtp) binds the central atom monodentate via nitrogen atom N(3). In addition, compound (2) is interesting for its structural features, because it is the first report of mixed dichloride Pd(II) complexes with N-donor (triazolopyrimidine) and S-donor (dimethylsulfoxide) ligands. In this structure the Pd–Cl distances are: 2.302(1) and 2.281(1) Å, Pd–N 2.041(3) Å and Pd–S 2.245(1) Å. The ¹H, ¹³C NMR studies show clearly that these structures are retained in solution.     

Some chemical transformations of the neo-clerodane diterpene teubotrin

Starting from the natural neo-clerodane diterpenoid teubotrin (1) several neo-clerodane derivatives (3-7,9-11) have been obtained. The naturally occurring diterpenoid teuscordinon (12) has also been synthesized from teubotrin (1), showing thereby how some of these transformations can be useful for the synthesis of other natural neo-clerodane diterpenes. The latter are of interest due to their activity as insect antifeedants and other important biological properties.     

一类2(1H)-喹喔啉衍生物的电子轰击质谱分析

以邻苯二胺为原料合成表征了一类喹喔啉衍生物；1-烷基-3-甲基-2（1H）-喹喔啉-2-酮（1-alkyl-3-methly-2(1H)-quinoxalin-2-one，简称AMQ，其中alky=H、CH3、Et、n-C3H5、n-C5H11、n-C16H33)。用电子轰击电离质谱（EI-MS）和核磁共振谱图（^1H-NMR)鉴定了AMQ，研究了不同取代基对这类化合物EI-MS谱图的影响，分析得到一些裂解规律。结果表明：所有样品谱图中均有芳香化合物的特征CnHn^ 系列峰m/z78，65，52，39和（或）m/z77、76、64、63、51、50、38、37。对于末取代的样品及低级烷烃取代的样品，谱图中的基峰为分子离子峰，对于取代基中碳数大于等于3的样品。谱图中的基峰不是分子离子峰，分子离子峰强度随着碳数的增加而降低。这些样品一般容易发生骨架重排，丢失一分子CO，生成1-烷基-2-甲基苯并哒唑正离子。此外，还讨论了谱图中其它的一些碎片离子峰。这对于研究和指导喹喔啉衍生物 的合成，探讨它们在药效及结构特征与生理活性的关系等方面具有重要的应用价值和理论意义。     

Silver (I)-promoted asymmetric halohydrin reaction of chiral N-enoyl-2-oxazolidinones: scope and limitations

The halohydrin reaction of chiral N-enoyl-2-oxazolidinones 1 by halogen (Br₂/I₂) and water were efficiently carried out in aqueous organic solvent promoted by silver(I) with high anti- and regioselectivity and moderate to good diastereoselectivities. The alkenoyl, cinnamoyl and electron-deficient cinnamoyl substrates smoothly underwent bromohydrin reaction in aqueous acetone but no iodohydrin reaction, where as electron-rich cinnamoyl substrates preferred to undergo iodohydrin reaction in aqueous acetone with moderate diastereoselectivity and enhanced diastereoselectivity was observed in aqueous THF.     

Utility of N‐[4‐(N‐Substituted Sulfamoyl)Phenyl] Cyanothioformamides in the Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds

The novel cyanothioformamides 2a‐d were prepared by treatment of isothiocyanatosulfonamides 1a‐d with potassium cyanide at room temperature. Cyclocondensation of compounds 2b,c with phenyl isocyanate as electrophile furnished the corresponding imidazolidines 3a,b . The reactivity of compound 3a towards some nitrogen nucleophiles was investigated. Thus, the thiosemicarbazone 4 and imidazo[4,5‐b]quinoxaline 6 were synthesized by condensation of compound 3a with thiosemicarbazide and o‐phenylenediamine, respectively. Treatment of 3a with hydrochloric acid afforded compound 7 . Our investigation was extended to include the reactivity of cyanothioformamide 2 towards o‐aminophenol, anthranilic acid, and o‐phenylenediamine and yielded the corresponding heterocycles 9 , 11 and 13 derivatives, respectively. Structures of the synthesized compounds were established by their elemental analysis and spectral data.     

Electrochemical and ESR study of 5-nitrofuryl-containing thiosemicarbazones antiprotozoal drugs

Cyclic voltammetry and electron spin resonance (ESR) techniques were used in the investigation of several potential antiprotozoal thiosemicarbazones nitrofurane derivatives. A self-protonation process involving the protonation of the nitro group due to the presence of an acidic proton in the thiosemicarbazone moiety was observed in the first step of a CEE(rev) reduction mechanism of these derivatives. ESR spectra of the free radicals obtained by electrolytic reduction were characterized and analyzed. AM1 methodology was used to obtain the optimized geometries and UB3LYP calculations were performed to obtain the theoretical hyperfine coupling constants. The theoretical study exhibited an unusual assignment of the spin densities showing a free radical centered in the thiosemicarbazone moiety rather than the nitro which are in agreement with the experimental hyperfine pattern.     

Correlation between hydrophobicity of amino acids and retention data in reversed-phase liquid chromatography with micellar eluents

Summary Hydrophobic character is usually expressed in terms of the partition coefficient in 1-octanol-water (log P_o/w). However, measurement of this coefficient is often problematic. Retention in micellar liquid chromatography is mainly due to hydrophobic interactions and can also be used as an index of hydrophobicity. A hydrophobicity scale was established with retention data foro-phthalaldehyde (OPA)-N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) amino acid derivatives, using the glycine derivative as reference. Since the OPA-NAC derivatives only differ in the nature of R₁ in the amino acid (R₁CH (COOH)NH₂), in the absence of electrostatic interactions the hydrophobic character of the substituent was responsible for retention. Linear relationships were obtained between log of the ratiok′ of amino acid derivatives:k′ of the glycine derivative for a given mobile phase, and logP _o/w for the R₁ substituent. Good correlations were also found for phenylthiohydantoin amino acid derivatives.     

Synthese und Geruch von Tricyclo[6.2.2.02, 7]dodecan-Derivaten

Summary The acetale-ketone9 was synthesized as precursor for the preparation of -santalol derivatives posessing a bicyclo[2.2.2]octane nucleus. After methylenation of the keto-group the subsequent acidic hydrolysis of the acetal leads via a Prins reaction of the liberated aldehyde with the methylene group to tricyclo[6.2.2.0^{2, 7}]dodecane derivatives. Their olfactory properties are described.

     

Analytic expression of the second derivatives of electronic energy for full configuration interaction wave functions

Summary A new analytic second derivative expression of the electronic energy is derived for full configuration interaction (CI) wave functions. This formula is shown to be free from the derivative terms of both CI and MO coefficients. The second-order relationships between CI and MO coefficients for full CI wave functions are also presented.
