Crystal and molecular structure of benzophenone azine: evidence for an Fe(II) carbene intermediate

Benzophenone azine crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupA2/a (No. 15) witha=16.303(3) Å,b=5.4864(2) Å,c=21.973(5) Å, =85.52(2)°,V=1959.4(8) ų, andD _calc=1.22 g cm^–3 forZ=4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined againstF to a finalR value of 0.047. The unit cell contains four molecules of the title compound; the asymmetric unit consists of half a molecule. Despite the high crystallographic symmetry, the two halves of the molecule arenot related by a center of symmetry; instead, the molecule adopts C₂ symmetry; the molecular C₂ axis is coincident with the crystallographic twofold axis. The formation of benzophenone azine from the reaction of the iron-containing Lewis acid complex [(⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂(THF)]⁺ [BF₄]^– and diphenyldiazomethane provides strong evidence for an Fe(II) carbene intermediate.

Electrophilic substitutions and HOMOs in azines and purines

The low reactivity of pyridine, pyridazine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, and purine toward electrophilic substitution reactions can be explained assuming a frontier orbitals control of the reaction. DFT study of the molecular orbitals of these molecules shows that the HOMOs of these substrates are not π orbitals. Furthermore, the change in the reactivity observed in pyridine-N-oxide, in activated pyrimidines, and in activated purines can be explained considering that, in this case, the HOMOs are π orbitals.     

Chemoselectivity of 6-bromo-2-methyl-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one towards amines,Schiff bases,and azines

Summary 6-Bromo-2-methyl-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (1) undergoes an unusual cleavage at position 4 when it is allowed to react witho-phenylenediamine or anthranilic acid in dry benzene to give the corresponding compounds2–5, respectively. The reaction of1 withSchiffbases and azines results in the formation of the compounds6a–d and8a,b, respectively. The reaction involves a cleavage of theSchiff base or the azine into its amine and arylidene moieties which are smoothly incorporated into1 via nucleophilic attack of the amine at position 4 and condensation of the aldehyde with a reactive methyl group, at position 2 respectively. No displacement of the arylidene segment was observed.

Tautomerism of 2-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-azines

The tautomeric properties ofo-hydroxyphenylazines have been investigated by¹⁷O NMR and UV spectroscopy. 2-(o-Hydroxyphenyl)-pyridine and itsp-nitrophenole analog II exist in chloroform or ethanol as a phenol A. In the case of 2-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)-quinoline the NH-tautomer is realized, the content of which increases when going to the dinitro-analog IV.

New mononuclear ruthenium complexes of η-cyclichydrocarbon containing azine ligands: Syntheses, spectral and structural studies

A series of mononuclear indenyl and pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complexes of formulation [(η⁵-L₃)Ru(PPh₃)(L₂)]X, (where L₃ = indenyl, pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; X = PF₆ or BF₄ and L₂ = azine ligands) have been prepared by the reaction of [(η⁵-L₃)Ru(PPh₃)₂(CH₃CN)]X with the appropriate azine ligands in methanol or dichloromethane/benzene mixture. The reaction of nitro substituted azine ligands with the complexes [(η⁵-L₃)Ru(PPh₃)₂(CH₃CN)]X are solvent dependent. All these complexes were isolated as their PF₆ or BF₄ salts. The complexes were fully characterized with the help of microanalyses, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of representative complexes 5c and 6a were established by single X-ray crystallography.     

Anion dependent formation of Ag(I) complexes of multidentate azine ligands: Synthesis and structural study

The extended structures of Ag-complexes of the azine based ligands phenyl-2-pyridyl ketone azine (L₁) and di-2-pyridyl ketone azine (L₂) are reported, and focus is made on the investigation of the influence of the anion and supramolecular interactions on the self-assembly. Using AgNO₃, AgClO₄ and CF₃COOAg salts as starting materials for both ligands in acetonitrile, we observed the formation of the dinuclear complexes [Ag₂(L₁)₂](NO₃)₂ (1a), [Ag₂(L₁)₂](ClO₄)₂ (1b), from L₁, the tetranuclear complexes [Ag₄(L₂)₂ (NO₃)(CH₃CN)₂](NO₃)₃ (2a), [Ag₄(L₂)₂(CF₃COO)₃CH₃CN](CF₃COO) (2b) and the linear chain polynuclear complex {[Ag₃(L₂)₂] (ClO₄)₃}_n (3) from L₂. The X-ray structures show that the molecular geometry depends on the choice of anion. The silver centers have distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry in all the complexes. Weak hydrogen bonding and other interactions result in 2-D and 3-D networks in these complexes.
