Synthesis and photophysical properties of fluorescent 2-aryl-1,3-dialkylbenzimidazolium ions and a l-alkyl-2-arylbenzimidazole with excited state intramolecular proton-transfer

To improve the solubility, photostability and fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) of 2-arylbenzimidazolium ions the N-1 hydrogen was replaced by an alkyl group before N-3 was quatemized; this substitution did not reduce Φ, proving the absence of steric inhibition to attainment of coplanarity in the excited state. A related symmetrical 2,2′-arylenebis(1,3-dimethyldibenzimidazolium ion) had Φ = 0.86. The related 2,5-bis(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)phenol had Φ = 0.38 at 22° as well as a very large Stokes' shift due to proton-transfer. These findings supported a new insight into the electron distribution of the first excited singlet state of oligophenylenes. The compounds are of interest as laser dyes and scintillation fluors.     

A heterogeneous and reusable nanopolymer-supported palladium catalyst for the copper- and phosphine-free Sonogashira coupling reaction under aerobic conditions in water

We report here the synthesis of a nanopolymer-supported palladium(II) complex catalyst, [PS-tet-Pd(II)] using a simple protocol. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FT-IR, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). PS-tet-Pd(II) proves to be a useful heterogeneous catalyst in the copper- and phosphine-free Sonogashira coupling reaction in water. The catalyst can be recovered from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and reused several times without any significant loss of catalytic activity.     

Radiosynthesis and biological evaluation of 166Ho labeled methoxylated porphyrins as possible therapeutic agents

¹⁶⁶Ho labeled 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) porphyrin, and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) porphyrin ([¹⁶⁶Ho]–TDMPP and [¹⁶⁶Ho]–TTMPP respectively) were prepared with acceptable radiochemical purity and specific activities. Stability and partition coefficient of the complexes were determined in the final formulations and biodistribution studies in mouse demonstrated high accumulation of [¹⁶⁶Ho]–TDMPP in the lung and liver and less excretion through the kidney. while [¹⁶⁶Ho]–TTMPP was mostly excreted into intestines and kidneys while lungs were a minor accumulation site. In contrast to other reported radiolanthanide labeled porphyrins these two complexes showed less liver accumulation. Further investigation of their potential therapeutic properties is of interest.

A Short and Efficient Synthesis of Novel N-(2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-2-carboxamides

Summary.  Several novel N-(2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-yl)-2-carboxamides were prepared by acyl coupling of 2-aminobenzophenones with α-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N-acylglycines followed by displacement of the benzotriazole ring with ammonia and cyclization of the resulting monoacyl aminals. In addition to high yields and shorter reaction sequences due to avoiding deprotection and acylation of the protected 3-amino-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one intermediates, the present approach did not involve the use of toxic and odoriferous materials as is the case with other methods.
