Diastereoselective Alkylation of (Diene-Aldehyde)Fe(CO)3 Complexes with Functionalized Zinc-Copper Reagents NuCu(CN)Znl

Addition of functionalized zinc-copper reagents to the title complexes proceeds in a highly diastereoselective fashion to afford dienol complexes. The relative configurations of adducts 3d were determined by single X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthesis and Reactions of Some New Pyrrolylfuro[2,3‐d]Pyrimidines and Pyrrolopyrazinofuropyrimidines

5‐Amino‐4‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐substitutedfuro[2,3‐d]pyrimidines ( 2a‐c ) were reacted with 2,5‐dimethoxytetrahydrfuran to afford the pyrrolyl derivatives 3a‐c . Compound 3a was chosen as intermediate for the synthesis of poly fused heterocycles incorporated furopyrimidines moiety 4–11 . Some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.

Chemistry of O-Benzoquinones and Masked O-Benzoquinones IV. Synthesis of O-Spirodienonelactones from Unsymmetric Catechols

We describe the syntheses of 6, 8-di-tert-butyl-, 7, 9-di-tert-butyl., 6,7-di-n-propyl and 8, 9-di-n-propyl-O-spirodienonelactone from 3, 5-di-tert-butylcatechol and 3, 4-di-n-propylcatechol.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Bis-Citrato,Bis-Citramalato and Bis-Malato Germanate(IV) Complexes

Bis-citrato 1a-d , bis-citramalato 2 and bis-malato 3 germanate(IV) complexes were synthesized from germanium dioxide and citric acid, citramalic acid and malic acid respectively and were identified with IR, NMR and elementary analysis. Crystal 1a is triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.919(2), b = 7.968(3), c = 9.605(3) Å, α = 94.25(3), β = 108.03(2), γ= 113.05(3)°, Z = 1, and the final residue, R(F), is 0.033 for 2583 reflections. Crystal 2 is monoclinic, space group C2 with a = 10.226(4), b = 12.802(4), c = 6.141(1) Å, β = 100.75(2)°, Z = 2, and the final residue, R(F), is 0.034 for 934 reflections. Both 1a and 2 have slightly distorted octahedral structures with citrate or citramalate ions as a tridentate ligand that forms five-, six- and seven-membered rings with the central metal. There is a two-fold axis through the central atom of compound 2 instead of the inversion center of 1a . Same structures for these six complexes are indicated because the spectral patterns of the other four compounds, 1b-d and 3 , are similar to those of compounds 1a and 2 .     

Carbonylchromium derivatives of bismuth: new syntheses and relevance to cbond;o activation

We have discovered a series of novel pentacarbonylchromium derivatives of bismuth from the reactions of NaBiO(3) with [Cr(CO)(6)] in KOH/MeOH solutions. When the reaction was carried out at room temperature, the highly charged [Bi[Cr(CO)(5)](4)](3-) (1) was obtained, whose structure was shown by X-ray analysis to possess a central bismuth atom tetrahedrally coordinated to four [Cr(CO)(5)] groups. As the reaction was heated at 80 degrees C, the methyl-substituted complex [MeBi[Cr(CO)(5)](3)](2-)(2) was obtained, presumably via the CbondO activation of MeOH. Further reactions of 1 with CH(2)Cl(2) or CHtbondCCH(2)Br form the halo-substituted complexes [XBi[Cr(CO)(5)](3)](2-)(X=Cl, 3; Br, 4), respectively. On the other hand, the reactions of 1 with RI (R=Me, Et) led to the formation of the alkyl-substituted complexes [RBi[Cr(CO)(5)](3)](2-)(R=Me, 2; Et). The formation of complexes 1-4 is discussed, presumably via the intermediate bismuthinidene [Bi[Cr(CO)(5)](3)](-) or the trianion [Bi[Cr(CO)(5)](3)](3-).     

Syntheses of chromium pentacarbonyl derivatives of arsenic(V) and antimony(V). contrasting chemical reactivity with organic halogen derivatives

We have synthesized a new series of chromium-group 15 dihydride and hydride complexes [H(2)As(Cr(CO)(5))(2)](-) (1) and [HE(Cr(CO)(5))(3)](2)(-) (E = As, 2a; E = Sb, 2b), which represent the first examples of group 6 complexes containing E-H fragments. The contrasting chemical reactivity of 2a and 2b with organic halogen derivatives is demonstrated. The reaction of 2a with RBr (R = PhCH(2), HC triple bond CCH(2)) produces the RX addition products [(R)(Br)As(Cr(CO)(5))(2)](-) (R = PhCH(2), 3; R = C(3)H(3), 4), while the treatment of 2b with RX (RX = PhCH(2)Br or HC triple bond CCH(2)Br, CH(3)(CH(2))(5)C(O)Cl) forms the halo-substituted complexes [XSb(Cr(CO)(5))(3)](2-) (X = Br, 5; X = Cl, 6). Moreover, the dihaloantimony complexes [XX'Sb(Cr(CO)(5))(2)](-) can be obtained from the reaction of 2b with the appropriate organic halides. In this study, a series of organoarsenic and antimony chromium carbonyl complexes have been synthesized and structurally characterized and the role of the main group on the formation of the resultant complexes is also discussed.
