Brønsted acid-mediated opening of nitroso cycloadducts under anhydrous conditions

An unusual bicyclic hydroxamate resulted from C-O bond cleavage of acylnitroso hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadducts when treated with catalytic Brønsted acids under anhydrous conditions. Similarly, the formation of a nitrone was observed using one equivalent of triflic acid.     

Diorganotin(IV) derivatives of arylhydroxamic acids: synthesis, properties and antitumor activity

Series of diorganotin(IV) complexes of 4-X-benzohydroxamic acid [X = NH₂ (HL₁), NO₂ (HL₂) or F (HL₃)] formulated as [R₂SnL₂] and [R₂Sn(L)]₂O (R = Me, Et, nBu or Ph) have been prepared and characterized by FT-IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopies, elemental analyses, FAB⁺-MS and melting point determination. They are stable in air, soluble in alcohols and in hydroalcoholic solution and, in some cases, in water. Their in vitro antitumor activity against a series of human tumor cell lines was tested and, in a few of them, is identical to, or even higher than, that of cisplatin. For the mononuclear dialkyltin compounds, the activity generally increases with the length of the carbon chain of the alkyl ligand, being higher for the complexes with benzohydroxamato ligands bearing an electron-acceptor substituent (X = NO₂ or F). No structure-activity relationship based on the Hammett’s σ_p constant, or related ones, has been recognized.     

The effect of nitro substitution on the photochemistry of benzyl benozhydroxamate: Photoinduced release of benzohydroxamic acid

The redox congener of the important signaling agent nitric oxide (NO), nitroxyl or nitrosyl hydride (HNO) has also been demonstrated to induce distinct physiological effects. The aim of this study was to determine if benzohydroxamic acid, which was selected as a stable model compound of HNO donors, could be released by the o-nitrobenzyl photolabile protecting group (PPG) in a wavelength-dependent manner. It was expected that selective irradiation of the o-nitrobenzyl chromophore would favor the release of benzohydroxamic acid over undesired products associated with N-O bond cleavage. Quantum yields for the release of benzohydroxamic acid protected by the o-nitrobenzyl PPG increased at longer wavelengths, with a concomitant decrease in the yield of minor products. Through the use of triplet photosensitizers, triplet quenchers, computational methods, and the position of the nitro substituent, insights into the nature of the mechanism were suggested.     

Effect of cationic gemini surfactants on the hydrolysis of carboxylate and phosphate esters using hydroxamate ions

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA) and p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate (PNPDPP) by hydroxamate ions mediated by gemini surfactants with quaternary ammonium bromide (16-n-16,2Br⁻, n = 3, 4, 6, 12) and pyridinium chloride (12py-n-py12,2Cl⁻, n = 3, 4) head group have been investigated at 27 °C. The gemini surfactant with the pyridinium head group, 12-py-4-py12,2Cl⁻ (tetramethylene-1,4 bis dodecylpyridinium chloride) shows a large rate acceleration effect than that with an ammonium head group, 16-12-16,2Br⁻, relative to those in water. The apparent pK _a of the hydroxamic acids have been determined in the presence of gemini surfactants. Catalytic system N-phenylbenzohydroxamate/12py-4-py12,2Cl⁻ demonstrated over ~1,590-fold and ~255-fold rate enhancement in the hydrolysis of PNPA and PNPDPP, respectively, for the identical reaction performed in buffer aqueous media at 27 °C. The second order rate constant and binding constants for reactions were determined employing pseudophase model for micellar catalysis.     

Synthesis of arginine-containing hydroxamate dipeptidomimetics

The syntheses of arginine-containing hydroxamates using various peptide coupling methods are described. Fmoc-Arg(NO₂)-Cl prepared at low temperature did not undergo intramolecular δ-lactam formation and effectively provided desired hydroxamates (8 and 10) in good yields. Fmoc and N-nitro protecting groups can be easily removed. Therefore, this report provides a facile synthesis of arginine-containing peptidomimetic compounds.     

Optical Properties of Dye Based on Hydroxamate Improved with Designed Tridentate Ligands for Dye Sensitized Solar Cell: a Theoretical Study

A density function theory(DFT) study was made on three dyes based on hydroxamate with different ligands[terpyridine, isothiocyanate(NCS) and 2,2'-bis(thienyl)-tripyrrinate(2-BTTP)] to investigtate their device performance optimization in dye sensitized solar cell(DSSC). Based on the adsorbed dye on TiO₂ (101) surface, the ground state geometry structures, electronic structures, absorption spectra and correspongding charge transfer properties were analysed in detail. The results indicate that the ligand replacement of terpyridine by NCS and 2-BTTP improves the low-energy region absorption of hydroxamate based dyes significantly. The electron injection and light harvesting capability of hydroxamate based dyes are enhanced by NCS and 2-BTTP ligands as well. In the visible region, hydroxamate based dyes have the potentials to become panchromatic light absorbers according to our research.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Properties of Complex VO（C10H9NO3） （C13H10NO2）

Complex VO(C10H9NO3)(C13H10NO2)(C10H9NO2-3=N-salicylidene-L-alaninate, C13H10NO-2=N-phenylbenzohydroxamate) was synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR, UV, 1H NMR spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallized in a monoclinic system with space group P21 and crystal cell parameters a=0.9720(1) nm, b=1.8274(2) nm, c=1.2542(1) nm, β=104.868(9)°, V=2.1532(4) nm3, Mr=470.34, Z=2. The two oxygen atoms and the one nitrogen atom of the tridentate Schiff base ligand and the one oxime oxygen atom of the hydroxamate ligand coordinate to the vanadium atom, forming an equatorial plane, the two axial positions are respectively occupied by the oxygen atom of the oxovanadium and the carbonyl oxygen atom of the hydroxamate and the vanadium atom exhibits a distorted octahedral VO(ONO)(OO) coordination sphere. The 1H NMR spectrum suggests that the two isomers, endo and exo in a molar ratio of 1/1.7, coexist in the solution of the title complex in CDCl3. There exists a quasi-reversible one-electron redox reaction corresponding to VⅤ/VⅥ couple in the three non-aqueous solvents, and the redox potential E1/2 of the title complex substantially shifts in the direction of the positive voltage increase in the order: CH2Cl2＜CH3CN＜DMF.

Dephosphorylation of paraoxon by hydroxamate ions in micellar media

The rate-surfactant concentration profiles for the reaction of the insecticide paraoxon with hydroxamate ions (R(CO)·NHO⁻, R = CH₃, R = C₆H₅, R = 2-HOC₆H₄) in aqueous solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium salts, CTAX (X⁻ = Br⁻, Cl⁻, SO₃H⁻) have been measured at pH 11.0 at 30 °C. All these profiles are typical of micelle-assisted bimolecular reactions involving interfacial ion exchanges. The salicylhydroxymic acid-CTACl combination is most reactive.
