Photochemical C–N bond forming reactions for the synthesis of five-membered fused N-heterocycles

Abstract

Few conversions cannot take place with ground-state reactions even with the help of a catalyst, therefore they are made to occur under photochemical conditions. The transfer of electrons took place even with the photochemical excitement of one molecule where redox reaction cannot occur at the ground state. The ground-state reactions resulted in the formation of side products. The substrates did not require any sort of chemical activation for C–N bond construction in the course of photochemical reactions. The source of energy; light has always been the interest of researchers in order to induce chemical reactions ever since the starting of scientific chemistry. The present review encloses the chemistry of photochemical transformations with a focus on their synthetic uses. The organic photochemical reactions prevent the polluting or harmful reagents thus, provides a possibility for sustainable procedures as well as green chemistry. This review article displays the formation of numerous of five-membered fused nitrogen-heterocyclic compounds.     

Ag-mediated synthesis of six-membered N-heterocycles

Abstract

One of the highly emerging and an important aspect of organic chemistry is the metal catalyzed synthesis of heterocycles. The methods used earlier for the synthesis of heterocycles were significant in the organic synthesis and developing cost-effective, improved and facial methods were beneficial to construct the complex architectures. For the both stereoselective and regioselective synthesis of six-membered nitrogen containing heterocycles, cyclic reactions that are Ag-mediated have known to be very efficient. The present review covers the applications of Ag in the formation of six-membered nitrogen containing heterocycles.     

Amberlite IR-120 catalysed efficient synthesis of glycosyl enamines and their application

β-Keto esters and acetyl acetone on condensation with glycosylated amino esters in the presence of IR-120 resin resulted in high yields of glycosyl enamino esters or ketones. The latter on cyclisation with NaH in toluene at reflux gave 6-glycosyl-5,6-dihydro-1H-pyridin-4-ones in fair to good yields.     

Sensitive and selective methods for determination of antipsychotic drug olanzapine in pharmaceuticals

Two simple and sensitive spectrophotometric methods have been developed for analysis of the antipsychotic drug olanzapine in pharmaceuticals. Method A is based on liberation of iodine by reaction between the drug and potassium iodate, followed by reaction with leuco crystal violet (LCV), the color of oxidized LCV being measured at 598 nm. Method B is based on oxidation of olanzapine with chloramine-T (CAT) in acidic medium, the unconsumed CAT being determined with rhodamine B, measuring the absorbance at 550 nm. Calibration graphs were linear over the ranges of 0.05–2.0 and 0.1–1.6 μg mL^?1 olanzapine for method A and B, respectively. The molar absorptivity, Sandell’s sensitivity, detection limit, and quantitation limit were found to be 1.59 × 10⁵, 0.00132, 0.038, and 0.117, respectively, for method A and 0.953 × 10⁵, 0.00221, 0.064, and 0.192, respectively, for method B. The optimum conditions and other analytical parameters were evaluated. The proposed methods have been applied successfully for analysis of olanzapine in pure form and its dosage forms, and no interference was observed from common excipients present in pharmaceutical formulations.     

Synthesis of five-membered N-heterocycles using silver metal

The heterocyclic chemistry field has been revolutionized using transition metal catalyst in recent years. Various research groups have focused on the development of general protocols to achieve better functional group compatibilities and greater levels of molecular complexity under mild reaction conditions using easily available starting substrates. These methods afford many advantages as compared to alternative pathways involved in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. In this review article, we have concentrated on the synthesis of nitrogen-containing five-membered heterocylces in the presence of silver catalyst.     

Spectrophotometric analysis of trichloroethylene in various environmental and biological samples

A simple sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method for determination of trichloroethylene is proposed. Trichloroethylene is treated with pyridine to form glutaconic aldehyde by heterolytic cleavage of the pyridine ring. Glutaconic aldehyde is further coupled with 4-aminoacetanilide to form an orange–red dye which is extractable in 3-methyl-1-butanol. The extracted dye shows absorption maximum at 520 nm. The system obeys Beer’s law in the range of 0.05–0.8 μg mL^?1. Important analytical parameters such as time, temperature, reagent concentration, acidity etc. have been optimized for complete colour reaction. Sandell’s sensitivity and molar absorptivity for the system were found to be 0.001 μg cm^?2 and 1.2 × 10⁵ L mol^?1 cm^?1, respectively. The proposed method is satisfactorily applied to micro-level determination of trichloroethylene in various environmental and biological samples.

Cooperative Effect of Noncovalent Interactions on Tetrel Bonding in Halogenated Silanes

Tetrel bond, a weak noncovalent interaction between the σ-hole of a Group IV element (silicon in our case) and the cloud of an electronegative element (oxygen in our case) is the focus of this work. The percentage strengthening of tetrel bond has been investigated by optimizing 16 binary complexes of halogenated silane and water of general formula SiX_nH_4−n−H₂O and 16 ternary complexes, of general formula NaX−SiX_nH_4−n−H₂O, where X=F, Cl, Br and I and n=1, 2, 3 and 4 at various levels of theory defined within the formalism of density functional theory (DFT). With the addition of NaX, tetrel bond between Si and O in SiX_nH_4−n−H₂O gets strengthened up to 49 %, owing to cooperativity effect exerted by hydrogen bonding between X and H in the ternary complex NaX−SiX_nH_4−n−H₂O. In the series of complexes studied here, overall stabilization due to cooperativity lies between 10 kJ/mol to 170 kJ/mol. This large extent of reinforcement due to cooperativity has never been showcased before. The exceptional stabilization and reinforcement owe its genesis to the transformation of the ternary complex into a cluster orchestrated by the H-bonding in most of the cases and covalent bonding in few of the cases.     

Time resolved spectroscopy in laser grade organic dyes

Time resolved spectroscopy is discussed along with the theoretical and experimental methods used to measure the fluorescence lifetimes in various laser grade organic dyes. The role of solvents and their viscosities in the fluorescence life time is also discussed. Different photophysical parameters have been obtained in rigid and non-rigid dye molecules.     

A study of mercury(II)-catalysed substitution of cyanide in hexacyanoferrate(II) by 2-methylpyrazine: effects of inhibitor on the catalysed reaction

The kinetics and mechanism of the mercury(II)-catalysed ligand substitution reaction between potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) and 2-methylpyrazine (2-Mepz), in potassium hydrogen phthalate buffer of pH 3.50 ± 0.02 at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C and constant ionic strength of 0.1 M, were studied spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of the yellow-coloured product at 447 nm (λ_max). The reaction was studied under pseudo-first-order conditions using excess of 2-Mepz. The reaction was found to obey first-order dependence in concentration of both [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ and 2-Mepz. At higher concentrations of 2-Mepz, the effect of [2-Mepz] levels off. A complex behaviour is observed on varying [Hg²⁺]. The effect of pH on the reaction rate was also analysed. The effects of dielectric constant and water content of the reaction medium have been interpreted in terms of the formation of a polar activated complex and suggest an I_d mechanism. The inhibitory effect of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol on the reaction was also studied and explained in terms of binding of this species to the catalyst.
