Organocatalytic double arylation of 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles: Stereocontrolled synthesis of complex spirooxindoles

Quinones, precursors of aromatic structures, were firstly employed as the electrophiles for the organocatalytic Michael addition/cyclization cascade reaction with versatile 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles. Chiral bifunctional organocatalyst was appropriate for this enantioselective transformation to afford a variety of novel spirooxindoles, possessing a spirocyclic stereocenter adjacent to the aromatic ring, via asymmetric double arylation. These synthesized spirooxindoles are very difficult to access by the reported methods and were obtained in excellent chemical yields with excellent enantioselectivities.

采用高温固相法合成了系列Ce~(3+)和Ce~(3+)/Tb~(3+)激活的具有磷灰石结构荧光粉Ba_(10)(PO_4)_6F_2。用X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、激发和发射(PLE和PL)光谱对样品进行了表征分析。研究结果表明:所合成的荧光粉Ba_(10)(PO_4)_6F_2∶Ce~(3+),Tb~(3+)具有氟磷灰石结构,样品微观呈现不规则形貌。荧光粉Ba10-x(PO4)6F2∶x Ce~(3+)的相对发射强度随着x增加而增强,当x=0.09时,荧光强度达到最大。荧光粉Ba_(10)(PO_4)_6F_2∶Ce~(3+),Tb~(3+)的激发光谱为240～330 nm的宽带,发射光谱呈现出Ce~(3+)的5d→4f跃迁紫外光(335和358 nm)发射和Tb~(3+)的4f→4f跃迁绿光(542 nm)发射。光谱特性表明,发光过程中存在Ce~(3+)→Tb~(3+)能量传递,能量传递效率可以达到60%。计算Ce~(3+)和Tb~(3+)的临界距离为0.79 nm,能量传递机理是偶极-偶极交互作用。此外,详细论述了Ce~(3+)和Tb~(3+)之间的能量传递和发光的过程。通过调节Tb~(3+)的掺杂浓度,对荧光粉发光色坐标与Tb~(3+)的掺杂浓度之间的关系也进行了研究,随着Tb~(3+)的掺杂量从0增加0.52,荧光粉Ba_(10)(PO_4)_6F_2∶Ce~(3+),Tb~(3+)的发射光谱色坐标可以从(0.149 4,0.045 1)蓝色区变化到(0.280 1,0.585 3)绿色区。     

基于水分散纳米无定形水杨酸甲酯铽配合物的三价铬离子高灵敏荧光传感器

为扩大稀土荧光配合物的应用范围,满足水溶液中微量铬的高灵敏高选择性探测要求,制备了一种基于水分散纳米无定形水杨酸甲酯铽配合物(A-MS-Tb)的高灵敏三价铬离子荧光传感器。结果表明:在水溶液中直接反应合成的配合物A-MS-Tb为无定形的纳米沉淀,其粒子尺度在50～100 nm之间,具有与报道的配合物晶体类似的组成。该配合物在494、549、591和625 nm处呈现出强的荧光发射,归属于铽离子的5D4→7FJ(J=6,5,4,3)能级跃迁。A-MS-Tb与晶体配合物的显著差别在于其在水中的悬浮稳定性和荧光稳定性更好,这对于其作为荧光材料和离子传感器非常重要。尤其突出的是,当将三价铬离子加入到它的水悬浮溶液中后,会减弱配体与铽离子之间的配位作用,导致其绿色荧光被淬灭。据此,构建了一种高灵敏测定溶液中铬离子浓度的荧光探针,并对其分析的选择性、灵敏度和抗干扰能力进行了评价。

Lysosome‐targeted potent half‐sandwich iridium(III) α‐diimine antitumor complexes

Fifteen organometallic Ir(III) half‐sandwich complexes ( 1A – 5C ) having the general formula [(η⁵‐Cp^x)Ir(N^N)Cl]PF₆ (Cp^x = Cp*, tetramethyl(phenyl)cyclopentadienyl (Cp^xph) or tetramethyl(biphenyl)cyclopentadienyl (Cp^xbiph); N^N = diamine) have been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of 1A was determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The hydrolysis of 1A – 5C was monitored using UV–visible spectra. Complexes 3A – 3C showed catalytic activity for the oxidation of NADH to NAD⁺, where 3C showed the highest turnover number of 29.9 within 450 min. Cytotoxicity examination by MTT assay was carried out against two human cancer cell lines (HeLa and A549) after 24 or 48 h drug treatment. The complexes showed high potency, where the most potent complex ( 3C ; IC₅₀ = 3.4 μM) was six times more active than cisplatin against A549 cells after 24 h drug exposure. Cytotoxic potency towards A549 cells increased with phenyl substitution on Cp ring: Cp^xbiph > Cp^xph > Cp*. In addition, the biological studies showed that 3C caused cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G₁ phase in A549 cancer cells. Moreover, 3C increased the level of reactive oxygen species markedly after 24 h, which may provide an important basis for killing cancer cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to track 3C in A549 cells. The cellular localization experiment showed that 3C targeted lysosomes and caused lysosomal damage.     

Synthesis and Structures of Arene Ruthenium (II)–NHC Complexes: Efficient Catalytic α‐alkylation of ketones via Hydrogen Auto Transfer Reaction

A panel of six new arene Ru (II)‐NHC complexes 2a‐f , (NHC = 1,3‐diethyl‐(5,6‐dimethyl)benzimidazolin‐2‐ylidene 1a , 1,3‐dicyclohexylmethyl‐(5,6‐dimethyl)benzimidazolin‐2‐ylidene 1b and 1,3‐dibenzyl‐(5,6‐dimethyl)benzimidazolin‐2‐ylidene 1c ) were synthesized from the transmetallation reaction of Ag‐NHC with [(η⁶‐arene)RuCl₂]₂ and characterized. The ruthenium (II)‐NHC complexes 2a‐f were developed as effective catalysts for α‐alkylation of ketones and synthesis of bioactive quinoline using primary/amino alcohols as coupling partners respectively. The reactions were performed with 0.5 mol% catalyst load in 8 h under aerobic condition and the maximum yield was up to 96%. Besides, the different alkyl wingtips on NHC and arene moieties were studied to differentiate the catalytic robustness of the complexes in the transformations.     

Chromium complexes based on thiophene–imine ligands for ethylene oligomerization

A new set of Cr(III) complexes, {L}CrCl₃(THF), based on thiophene–imine ( 2a , L = PhOC₆H₄(N═CH)‐2‐SC₄H₃; 2b , L = PhOC₂H₄(N═CH)‐2‐SC₄H₃; 2c , L = Ph(NH)C₂H₄(N═CH)‐2‐SC₄H₃; 2d , L = PhOC₆H₄(N═CH)‐2‐SC₄H₂‐5‐Ph; 2e , L = Ph(NH)C₂H₄(N═CH)‐2‐SC₄H₂‐5‐Ph) have been prepared and characterized using elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Upon activation with methylaluminoxane, all the chromium complexes generated active systems affording a nonselective distribution of α‐olefins with turnover frequencies in the range 9500–93 500 (mol ethylene) (mol Cr)^?1 h^?1, and producing mostly oligomers (95.0–99.3 wt% of total products). Small amounts of polymer were produced in these oligomerization reactions (0.8–8.2 wt%). The catalytic activities were quite sensitive to the ligand environment. Moreover, the effects of oligomerization parameters (temperature, [Al]/[Cr] molar ratio, time) on the activity and on the product distribution were examined.     

3D-Printed Phenacrylate Decarboxylase Flow Reactors for the Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of 4-Hydroxystilbene

Continuous flow systems for chemical synthesis are becoming a major focus in organic chemistry and there is a growing interest in the integration of biocatalysts due to their high regio- and stereoselectivity. Methods established for 3D bioprinting enable the fast and simple production of agarose-based modules for biocatalytic reactors if thermally stable enzymes are available. We report here on the characterization of four different cofactor-free phenacrylate decarboxylase enzymes suitable for the production of 4-vinylphenol and test their applicability for the encapsulation and direct 3D printing of disk-shaped agarose-based modules that can be used for compartmentalized flow microreactors. Using the most active and stable phenacrylate decarboxylase from Enterobacter spec. in a setup with four parallel reactors and a subsequent palladium(II) acetate-catalysed Heck reaction, 4-hydroxystilbene was synthesized from p-coumaric acid with a total yield of 14.7 % on a milligram scale. We believe that, due to the convenient direct immobilization of any thermostable enzyme and straightforward tuning of the reaction sequence by stacking of modules with different catalytic activities, this simple process will facilitate the establishment and use of cascade reactions and will therefore be of great advantage for many research approaches.
