Reactions of the Ru3(CO)10(μ-Ph2PCH2PPh2) cluster with enynes RCH=CHC≡CR (R is phenyl or ferrocenyl). Formation of indenone derivatives of triruthenium clusters

The thermal reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₀(-Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) (1) with enyne PhCH=CHCCPh afforded the trinuclear ruthenium clusters Ru₃(CO)₆{₃-P(Ph)CH₂PPh₂}{₃-C(Ph)=CHCC(Ph)(1,2-C₆H₄)C(=0)} (2), Ru₃(-H)(CO)₅{₃-P(Ph)CH₂PPh₂}{₃-C(Ph)=CHCC(Ph)(1,2-C₆H₄)C(—0)} (3), and Ru₃(CO)₆(-CO){₃-P(Ph)CH₂PPh₂}{₃-C(C=CPh₂)CH=C(H)Ph} (4) and also two isomers of Ru₃(CO)₅(-CO)(-Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂){₃-C₄Ph₂(CH=CHPh)₂} (5a and 5b). Clusters 2, 3, and 4 were characterized by IR spectroscopy, ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The reaction of complex 1 with enyne FcCH=CHCCFc gave rise to the Ru₃(CO)₆{₃-P(Ph)CH₂PPh₂}{₃-C(Fc)=CHCC(Fc)(1,2-C₆H₄)C(=0)} (6) and Ru₃(-H)(CO)₅{₃-P(Ph)CH₂PPh₂}{₃-C(Fc)=CHCC(Fc)(1,2-C₆H₄)C(—0)} (7) clusters. According to the spectral data, the latter compounds are isostructural to complexes 2 and 3, respectively.     

The reactions of 2-benzoylpyridine with [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3] and [(C6H6)RuCl2]2

The reactions of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃] and [(C₆H₆)RuCl₂]₂ with 2-benzoylpyridine have been examined, and two novel ruthenium(II) complexes – [RuCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂(C₅H₄NCOO)] and [RuCl₂(C₁₂H₉NO)₂] – have been obtained. The compounds have been studied by IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The molecular orbital diagrams of the complexes have been calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method. The spin-allowed singlet–singlet electronic transitions of the compounds have been calculated with the time-dependent DFT method, and the UV–Vis spectra of the compounds have been discussed on this basis.     

Solubility of trans-Co2(CO)6 [3,5-bis(CF3)C6H3P(i-C3H7)2] in dense carbon dioxide

The title compound (1) was prepared by the reaction of 3,5-bis(CF₃)C₆H₃P(i-C₃H₇)₂ (L1) and Co₂(CO)₈. Its solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide was measured at varying temperatures and pressures using a modified analytical extraction device. Solubility data were determined in the temperature and pressure ranges between 40 and 70 °C and between 100 and 300 bar, respectively. The solubility of 1 is lower compared to (p-CF₃C₆H₄)₃P, but much higher than for transition metal complexes bearing phosphines without fluorinated substituents.     

Reactivity of molybdenum and rhenium hydroxo-carbonyl complexes toward organic electrophiles

The hydroxo compounds [Re(OH)(CO)(3)(N-N)] (N-N=bipy, 2 a; Me(2)-bipy, 2 b) were prepared in a biphasic H(2)O/CH(2)Cl(2) medium by reaction of [Re(OTf)(CO)(3)(N-N)] with KOH. In contrast, when anhydrous CH(2)Cl(2) was used, the binuclear hydroxo-bridged compound [[Re(CO)(3)(bipy)](2)(mu-OH)]OTf (3-OTf) was obtained. Compound [Re(OH)(CO)(3)(Me(2)-bipy)] (2 b) reacted with phenyl acetate or vinyl acetate to afford [Re(OAc)(CO)(3)(Me(2)-bipy)] (4) and phenol or acetaldehyde, respectively. The reactions of [Mo(OH)(eta(3)-C(3)H(4)-Me-2)(CO)(2)(phen)] (1), 2 a, and 2 b toward several unsaturated organic electrophiles were studied. The reaction of 1 with (p-tolyl)isocyanate afforded an adduct of N,N'-di(p-tolyl)urea and the carbonato-bridged compound [[Mo(eta(3)-C(3)H(4)-Me-2)(CO)(2)(phen)](2)(mu-eta(1)(O),eta(1)(O)-CO(3))] (5). In contrast, the reaction of 2 a with phenylisocyanate afforded [Re(OC(O)NHPh)(CO)(3)(bipy)] (6); this results from formal PhNCO insertion into the O-H bond. On the other hand, compounds [Mo[SC(O)NH(p-tolyl)](eta(3)-C(3)H(4)-Me-2)(CO)(2)(phen)] (7), [Re[SC(O)NH(p-tolyl)](CO)(3)(Me(2)-bipy)] (8 a), and [Re[SC(O)NHEt](CO)(3)(Me(2)-bipy)] (8 b) were obtained by reaction of 1 or 2 b with the corresponding alkyl or aryl isothiocyanates. In those cases, RNCS was inserted into the M-O bond. The reactions of 1, 2 a, and 2 b with dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) gave the complexes [Mo[C(OH)-C(CO(2)Me)C(CO(2)Me)-O](eta(3)-C(3)H(4)-Me-2)(CO)(phen)] (9) and [Re[C(OH)C(CO(2)Me)C(CO(2)Me)O](CO)(2)(N-N)] (N-N=bipy, 10 a; Me(2)-bipy, 10 b). The molecules of these compounds contain five-membered metallacycles that are the result of coupling between the hydroxo ligand, DMAD, and one of the CO ligands. The new compounds were characterized by a combination of IR and NMR spectroscopy, and for [[Re(CO)(3)(bipy)(2)(mu-OH)]BF(4) (3-BF(4)), 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 b, 9, and 10 b, also by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Determination Of Formaldehyde And Acetaldehyde Associated To Atmospheric Aerosols By HPLC

Abstract

A rapid new analytical protocol was developed for the determination of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde associated to atmospheric particulate matter, at ng/m³ levels. The aerosols were collected on glass fiber filters (8″×10″) at face velocities ranging from 15 m/min to 23 m/min. Aliquots of 15.4 cm² were sonicated, for 20 min, with 5.0 mL of 0,01% 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH), 1 % phosphoric acid. The liquid phase was then filtered and the separation and quantification of the corresponding 2,4-dinitrophenylhidrazone (DNPHo) derivatives carried out by reverse phase HPLC. Acetonitrile:water (57:43, v/v) as mobile phase at 1.0 mL/min and absorbance detection at 350 nm and 365 nm for, respectively, formaldehyde-DNPHo (0.04 AUFS) and acetaldehyde-DNPHo (0.01 AUFS) were used. The precision for four different aliquots, from a 8″×10″ glass fiber filter, were under 0.04% for formaldehyde and 14.16 % for acetaldehyde. In Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were determined, respectively, in the range of 6.8 ng/m³ to 27.3 ng/m³ and 9.1 ng/m³ to 54.6 ng/m³.     

Distorted Porphyrins with High Stability: Synthesis and Characteristic Electronic Properties of Mono- and Di-Nuclear Tricarbonyl Rhenium Tetraazaporphyrin Complexes

Mono- and di-nuclear tricarbonyl Re(I) tetraazaporphyrin complexes ( Re₁TAP and Re₂TAP ) are investigated and compared with Re(I) phthalocyanine complexes ( Re₁Pc and Re₂Pc ). Although Re₂Pc is unstable in polar solvents, and easily undergoes demetallation reaction, the coordination of the TAP ligand significantly improves the tolerance toward polar solvents, affording more stability to Re₂TAP . Additionally, the incorporation of [Re(CO)₃]⁺ unit(s) and the TAP ligand results in remarkable positive shifts in both oxidation and reduction potentials. Consequently, the more positive oxidation potentials of the ReTAP complexes significantly increase the tolerance toward oxidation, while the reduction potential indicates that Re₂TAP is suitable for a soluble electron acceptor. In contrast to Re₁Pc and Re₂Pc , Re₁TAP and Re₂TAP show unique broad Q bands, which can be attributed to the admixture of the π-π* and metal-to-ligand charge transfer characters, owing to the lowered π orbital energy in the TAP complexes. This study is useful for controlling electronic properties and realizing high stability in Pc analogues.     

Selective Cross-Coupling of Unsaturated Substrates on AlI

The Al^I compound NacNacAl ( 1 , NacNac = [ArNC(Me)CHC(Me)NAr]⁻, Ar = 2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃) serves as a template for the chemoselective coupling between carbonyls (benzophenone, fenchone, isophorone, p-tolyl benzoate, N,N-dimethylbenzamide, (1-phenylethylidene)aniline) and pyridine. With the CH-acidic ketone (1R)-(+) camphor, the reaction affords a hydrido alkoxide compound of Al, formed as the result of enolization, whereas an enolizable imine, (1-phenylethylidene)aniline, and the bulky ketone isophorone, still chemoselectively couple with pyridine. In contrast, reaction with the ester p-tolyl benzoate results in cleavage of the ester bond together with replacement of the alkoxy group by a hydrogen atom of the pyridine moiety. This study demonstrates that for carbonyl substrates featuring phenyl substituents, the reaction proceeds via intermediate formation of η²(C,X)-coordinated (X = O, N) carbonyl adducts, whereas the reaction of 1 with (R)-(−)-fenchone in the absence of pyridine leads to CH activation in the pendant isopropyl group of the Ar substituent of the NacNac ligand.     

A New Bismuth Nitrate–Catalyzed Electrophilic Substitution of Indoles with Carbonyl Compounds Under Solvent-Free Conditions

An expeditious synthetic method for the preparation of bis(indollyl)methane derivatives has been developed through a bismuth nitrate-catalyzed reaction of indole with various carbonyl compounds in mortar and pastle under solvent-free conditions.     

Preparation of Silica-Bonded S-Sulfonic Acid: A Recyclable Catalyst for the Synthesis of Bis-Indolylmethanes

Silica bonded S-sulfonic acid (SBSSA) was prepared by the reaction of 3-mercaptopropylsilica (MPS) and chlorosulfonic acid in chloroform. Silica-bonded S-sulfonic acid, as a reusable solid acid catalyst, was used for the condensation reactions of indole with carbonyl compounds at ambient temperature. Tetra-(indolyl)methanes were also obtained by the condensation reaction of indole with dialdehyde compounds. Silica bonded S-sulfonic acid was recovered and reused.
