Phosphorus containing pyrydoxal azomethines and alkoxyfuropyridines of salt structure

The reaction of azomethines of pyridoxal or alkoxyfuropyridines with phosphorus acids produces new salt derivatives.     

Phosphorylation of pyridoxal azomethines. Synthesis of phosphorus containing azomethines and furopyridines

New O-phosphorylated pyridoxal derivatives have been synthesized through the reaction of azomethines with Р^V acid chlorides. 2-Chloro-2-thioxo-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinanes and diethylchlorothiophosphate have been employed as phosphorylating agents. Regardless of the nature of the phosphorylating agent, the reaction is regioselective at phenolic hydroxyl group. The structure of final products is determined by the nature of the substituent at the nitrogen atom. If R is alkyl or cycloalkyl group, the products of the reaction represent phosphorylated pyridoxal imines, whereas phosphorylated furopyridines are formed in the case R is aryl substituent.     

IR Studies of Iron Complexes with Pyridoxal Isonicotinoyl Hydrazone and Three Other Similar Chelating Agents

Infrared studies of pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone and of three similar chelating agents in solid state brings out, after complexation with iron (III), the deprotonation of phenol for all the compounds; for those which possess the pyridoxal group, a deprotonation of hydrazine leads to a transformation of the linkage between the rings and for the others, the drastic shift of the carbonyl band proves its engagement in the association with iron.     

Engineered Biocatalytic Synthesis of β-N-Substituted-α-Amino Acids

Non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) are useful synthons for the development of new medicines, materials, and probes for bioactivity. Recently, enzyme engineering has been leveraged to produce a suite of highly active enzymes for the synthesis of β-substituted amino acids. However, there are few examples of biocatalytic N-substitution reactions to make α,β-diamino acids. In this study, we used directed evolution to engineer the β-subunit of tryptophan synthase, TrpB, for improved activity with diverse amine nucleophiles. Mechanistic analysis shows that high yields are hindered by product re-entry into the catalytic cycle and subsequent decomposition. Additional equivalents of l -serine can inhibit product reentry through kinetic competition, facilitating preparative scale synthesis. We show β-substitution with a dozen aryl amine nucleophiles, including demonstration on a gram scale. These transformations yield an underexplored class of amino acids that can serve as unique building blocks for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and electrochemical characterizations of two octahedral iron(III) complexes with Schiff base of pyridoxal and aminoguanidine

This article presents the synthesis, physico-chemical, in particular voltammetric, characteristics of two iron(III) complexes with pyridoxal aminoguanidine (PLAG), [Fe(PLAG)Cl₂(H₂O)]Cl (1) and [Fe(PLAG)₂](NO₃)₃ (2). As expected, the zwitterion of the chelate ligand is coordinated tridentate through oxygen of phenol and nitrogen atoms of azomethine and imino groups of the aminoguanidine fragment. In both complexes, Fe(III) is distorted octahedral. [Fe(PLAG)₂](NO₃)₃ (2) is the first bis(ligand) complex with this ligand. Cyclic voltammetric characteristics of the ligand and complexes were studied in DMF in the presence of TBAP or LiCl as supporting electrolytes. The complexes are unstable in this solvent, especially in the presence of an excess of chloride, thus forming several reducible species whose stabilities and behaviors were characterized.     

Fluorescence of the Schiff bases of pyridoxal and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate withl-isoleucine in aqueous solutions

The present study reports on the absorption and emission properties of the Schiff bases formed by pyridoxal and pyridoxal 5-phosphate withl-isoleucine in aqueous solutions. Species protonated at the imine and ring nitrogen are the most fluorescent in both Schiff bases with a quantum yield of 0.02, i.e., 20-fold the value found for species in alkaline solutions. In agreement with other studies, species protonated at the imine nitrogen shows an emission around 500 nm upon excitation at 415 nm. In contrast to previous observations on other PLP Schiff bases, emissions at 560 nm (PL-Ile) and 540 nm (PLP-Ile) are observed upon excitation at 365 and 415 nm, respectively. The emission at 470 nm found in PLP-Ile Schiff base upon excitation at 355 nm is ascribed to a multipolar monoprotonated species. An estimation for the pK _a of the imine in the excited state ( 8.5) for both Schiff bases is also reached. Our results suggest that fast protonation reactions on the excited state are responsible for the observed fluorescence. These effects, in which the hydrogen bond and the phosphate group seem to play a role, could be extended to understanding coenzyme environments in proteins.

Reaction of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate with TRIS

Kinetic and equilibrium studies are presented on the reaction of pyridoxal 5-phosphate withTris. Upon raising thepH from 7.3 to 9.3 at 25°C, the second-order rate constant increases from 1.05 M^–1 s^–1 to 3.79 M^–1 s^–1, whereas the apparent dissociation constant varies from 2 to 8 mM. These results demonstrate the significance of this reaction whenTris buffer is used in studies of pyridoxal 5-phosphate-dependent enzymes.

Transition metal complexes with thiosemicarbazide-based ligand – Part LV: Synthesis and X-ray structural study of novel Ni(II) complexes with pyridoxal semicarbazone and pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone

Reaction of aqueous solutions of Ni(NO₃)₂ and pyridoxal semicarbazone (PLSC) in the presence of NaN₃ afforded two complexes, viz. green, paramagnetic binuclear octahedral [Ni₂(PLSC)₂(μ_1,1-N₃)₂(N₃)₂] · 2H₂O (1) and, as admixture, red, octahedral [Ni(PLSC–H)₂] · 2H₂O (2) complex. Under the same reaction conditions, pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone (PLTSC) gave only one diamagnetic square-planar, red complex [Ni(PLTSC–H)N₃] · H₂O (3). In the absence of NaN₃, the reaction of PLTSC and Ni(NO₃)₂ yielded brown paramagnetic octahedral complex [Ni(PLTSC)₂](NO₃)₂ · H₂O (4).     

Transition metal complexes with thiosemicarbazide-based ligands. Part LIV. Nickel(II) complexes with pyridoxal semi- (PLSC) and thiosemicarbazone (PLTSC). Crystal and molecular structure of [Ni(PLSC)(H2O)3](NO3)2 and [Ni(PLTSC-H)py]NO3

This paper describes the synthesis of the first Ni(II) complexes with pyridoxal semicarbazone (PLSC), viz. Ni(PLSC)Cl₂ · 3.5H₂O (1), [Ni(PLSC)(H₂O)₃](NO₃)₂ (2), Ni(PLSC)(NCS)₂ · 4H₂O (3), [Ni(PLSC-2H)NH₃] · 1.5H₂O (4), as well as two new complexes with pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone (PLTSC), [Ni(PLTSC-H)py]NO₃ (5) and [Ni(PLTSC-H)NCS] (6). Complexes 1–3 are paramagnetic and have most probably an octahedral structure, for complex 2 this was proved by X-ray diffraction analysis. In contrast, complexes 4–6 are diamagnetic and have a square-planar structure, and in the case of complex 5 this was also confirmed by X-ray structural analysis. In all cases the Schiff bases are coordinated as tridentate ligands with an ONX (X = O, PLSC; X = S, PLTSC) set of donor atoms. With the complexes involving the neutral form of PLSC and the monoanionic form of PLTSC, the PL moiety is in the form of a zwitterion. In addition to the above-mentioned techniques, all the complexes were characterized by measuring their molar conductivities, UV–Vis and partial IR spectra.
