Atom-economical isocyanide-based multicomponent synthesis of 2,5-dioxopyrrolidines,spirobenzothiazinechromans and 1,5-benzothiazepines

An efficient synthesis of new pharmaceutically relevant dioxopyrrolidines, spirobenzo thiazine-2,3′-chromans, and benzothiazepines via isocyanide-based multicomponent condensation reactions at room temperature is reported. This synthesis serves as a nice addition to group-assistant-purification (GAP) chemistry in which purification via chromatography and recrystallization can be avoided, and the pure products are obtained simply by washing the crude products with 95% ethanol.     

Synthesis and characterization of a newly designed di-copper(II)-based complex and study of its artificial enzyme catalytic activity

A di-copper(II) complex of the formula [(dien)Cu(μ-1,6-DAH)Cu(dien)(NO₃)₂](NO₃)₂, where μ-1,6-DAH = 1,6-diaminohexane, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, X-ray powder diffraction, thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analyses, cyclic voltammetry, infrared, ultraviolet visible spectroscopies and elemental analysis methods. It was crystallized in a monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n, with a = 8.0297(8) Å, b = 12.4937(14) Å, c = 15.3786(15) Å, β = 102.739(8) Å and z = 2. Each copper(II) has a square-based pyramidal coordination geometry with four N atoms building the basal plane (three from dien and one from μ-1,6-DAH). TGA study of the complex revealed the compound to be stable up to 245 °C. Electrochemical behavior of complex and enzyme-like catalytic activity of this complex, as a potential functional model for the active site of tyrosinase, was studied extensively. Kinetic studies show that the complex has the maximum enzymatic activity at pH 8, temperature of 40 °C and ionic strength of 50 mM.

Synthesis and electrochemistry of M(II) N2O2 schiff base complexes: X-Ray structure of {Ni[Bis(3-chloroacetylacetone)ethylenediimine]}

The synthesis and characterization of [Ni(BCE)] and [Cu(BCE)] (where BCE = bis(3-chloroacetylacetone)ethylenediimine) are described. The coordination geometry of [Ni(BCE)] was determined by X-ray crystallography. It was found to be planar and four coordinate in the solid state. The electrochemical properties of M(Chel), where M = Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), and Chel = BAE (bis(acetylacetone)ethylenediimine), BBE = bis(benzoylacetone)ethylenediimine, BFE (bis(1,1,1-triflouroacetylacetone) ethylenediimine and BCE ligands were investigated in DMF and DMSO as solvents. The oxidation potentials changed from left to right in the periodic table in the trend: Co < Ni < Cu, while the reduction potentials changed according to the trend: Ni > Co > Cu. The oxidation potentials of M(II) to M(III) (M = Ni and Cu) increased according to the Schiff base ligands in the trend: BAE < BBE < BCE < BFE, while the reduction potentials followed a reverse trend: BAE > BBE > BCE > BFE. The oxidation potentials of M(II) to M(III) increased according to the solvent in the trend: DMSO < DMF.
