    A PCP-Pincer RuII,Terpyridine Building Block as a Potential "Antenna Unit" for Intramolecular Sensitization

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 18 2007
    Marcella Gagliardo
    Abstract The redox- and photoactive mononuclear complex [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTANa4)]Cl {PCP = [C6H3(CH2PPh2)2 -2,6],; tpy,DTTA4, = 4,-(2,2,:6,,2,-terpyridine)-diethylenetriamine- N,N,N,,N, -tetraacetate} possesses an externally directed, vacant N3O4 polyaminocarboxylate-type binding site that coordinates to lanthanide(III) ions to give the neutral heterodinuclear RuII,LnIII complexes [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTA)Ln(H2O)2] (Ln = Gd3+, Eu3+). The photophysical properties of solutions of the mononuclear complex [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTANa4)]Cl were investigated in MeOH/EtOH (1:4) and compared to those of the solutions of heterodinuclear complexes [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTA)Ln(H2O)2] (Ln = Gd3+, Eu3+). Rigid matrix excitation at 77 K of the ,,* level of the ruthenium chromophore in the [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTA)Eu(H2O)2] complex results in a weak europium(III) emission pointing to a transfer of energy from Ru,Eu as a result of the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited state of the ruthenium component to the luminescent lanthanide ion. The excited state lifetime of the europium complex is 0.2 ms in methanol solution. In deuterated solvents, the lifetime increases to 0.4 ms, which indicates that the process is solvent-dependent as a result of the strongly coordinated molecules of water that are responsible for the quenching in nondeuterated solvents.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Supramolecular Chemistry Based on [W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]+ , A Versatile Building Block

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2004
    Maxim N. Sokolov
    Abstract The cluster [W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]+ (which is present in solutions of [W3S4(H2O)9]4+ in 1,4 M HCl) reacts with the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbituril (C36H36N24O12) to form supramolecular adducts of 2:1 cluster/cucurbituril stoichiometry, where two portals of cucurbituril (which contains a water molecule in its cavity) are closed by two cluster cations. These aggregates are bound together in the solid by complementary hydrogen bonds between coordinated Cl, and the cations H9O4+ to give chains. Thus, a supramolecular architecture is achieved from three different but complementary building blocks. The packing of the chains affords a honeycomb structure (hexagonal symmetry) with channels (about 5.2 Å in diameter). The overall stoichiometry is (H9O4){[W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]2(C36H36N24O12)}Cl3·16.15H2O (1). [W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]+ reacts with SbCl3 in 6 M HCl to give cuboidal [W3(SbCl3)S4(H2O)6Cl3]+, which forms with the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbituril a 2:1 cluster/cucurbituril adduct , a discrete supramolecule consisting of five independent molecular units. In the solid it crystallizes as a salt of very rare anion [SbCl6]3, with the stoichiometry {[W3(SbCl3)S4(H2O)6Cl3]2(C36H36N24O12)}(SbCl6)2/3·12H2O (2). (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Alkoxy-5-nitrosopyrimidines: Useful Building Block for the Generation of Biologically Active Compounds

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 20 2010
    Antonio Marchal
    Abstract Several alkoxy-5-nitrosopyrimidines were synthesised and high regioselective and sequential nucleophilic aromatic substitution of methoxy groups in 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxy-5-nitrosopyrimidine was observed. The approach was applied to the synthesis of valuable polyfunctionalised aminopyrimidines capable of mimicking fused heterobicyclic derivatives of biological interest. In addition, new compounds were evaluated as antivirals and their usefulness as synthetic intermediates was demonstrated. [source]


    Synthesis of an Enantiomerically Pure Building Block for the Synthesis of Hydroporphyrins,

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2007
    Genevieve Etornam Adukpo
    Abstract The enantiomerically pure pyrrolidine diester 4 is a useful building block for the synthesis of chiral hydroporphyrin compounds. Treatment of optically active aromatic amines with bislactone 5 gave pairs of N -alkylated lactam-lactone diastereomers 6 and 8. These diastereomers were separated by MPL chromatography and in the case of 8 they could be debenzylated to yield the enantiomerically pure lactam-lactone 7 and its enantiomer. The (,)-lactam-lactone enantiomer 7 was further transformed into building block 4.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007) [source]

    Chelating Dialkoxide Titanium Complex: A Versatile Building Block for the Construction of Heterometallic Derivatives

    CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 10 2007
    Rosa Fandos Dr.
    Abstract The heterometallic complex [TiCp*(O2Bz)2AlMe2] (2) has been synthesised by reaction of [TiCp*(O2Bz)(OBzOH)] (1) with AlMe3 (Cp*=,5 -C5Me5; Bz=benzyl). Complex 1 reacts with HOTf to yield the cationic derivative [TiCp*(OBzOH)2]OTf (3) (HOTf=HSO3CF3). Compound 3 reacts with [{M(,-OH)(cod)}2] (M=Rh, Ir; cod=cyclooctadiene) to render the early,late heterometallic complexes [TiCp*(O2Bz)2{M(cod)}2]OTf (M=Rh (4); Ir (5)). The molecular structure of complex 4 has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. [source]


    Rational Design of Solid Catalysts for the Selective Use of Glycerol as a Natural Organic Building Block

    CHEMSUSCHEM CHEMISTRY AND SUSTAINABILITY, ENERGY & MATERIALS, Issue 7 2008
    François Jérôme Dr.
    Abstract Glycerol is the main co-product of the vegetable oils industry (especially biodiesel). With the rapid development of oleochemistry, the production of glycerol is rapidly increasing and chemists are trying to find new applications of glycerol to encourage a better industrial development of vegetable oils. In this Review, attention is focused on the selective use of glycerol as a safe organic building block for organic chemistry. An overview is given of the different heterogeneous catalytic routes developed by chemists for the successful and environmentally friendly use of glycerol in sustainable organic chemistry. In particular, the effects of different catalyst structural parameters are discussed to clearly highlight how catalysis can help organic chemists to overcome the drawbacks stemming from the use of glycerol as a safe organic building block. It is shown that heterogeneous catalysis offers efficient routes for bypassing the traditional use of highly toxic and expensive epichlorohydrin, 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, or glycidol, which are usually used as a glyceryl donor in organic chemistry.

    Synthesis, Photophysics and Morphology of a Conjugated Polymer with Azobenzene Building Block in the Backbone

    CHINESE JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2010
    Dezhi Shen
    Abstract A conjugate polymer poly[p -(phenyleneethylene)-alt-(phenyleneazophenyleneethylene)] (PPEPAPE) containing azobenzene building block in the polymer backbone was synthesized via Sonogashira cross-coupling of 4,4,-diiodoazobenzene and 1,4-diethynyl-2,5-didodecyloxybenzene. All the monomers and the resulting polymer were well characterized. The polymer had a relatively high molecular weight and showed very good solubility (,10 mg/mL) in common organic solvents. The photophysics of this polymer in solution and in film was investigated. The surface morphology of the films was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the relationship between the morphology and absorbance was discussed. This polymer has good film-forming property, broad absorbance and no emission, which might make it a good candidate for the photovoltaic material in the solar cell. [source]


    Comparative Study of Cyanobacteria as Biocatalysts for the Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Building Blocks

    ENGINEERING IN LIFE SCIENCES (ELECTRONIC), Issue 2 2006
    J. Havel
    Abstract The three representative cyanobacteria, Synechococcus PCC7942, Anabaena variabilis, and Nostoc muscorum, were studied for their ability to asymmetrically reduce the prochiral ketones 2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-pentafluoroacetophenone, ethyl 4-chloroacetate, 4-chloroacetophenone, and ethylbenzoylacetate to the corresponding chiral alcohols. Photosynthesis as well as respiration was applied for intracellular regeneration of the NAD(P)H cofactor. It was shown for the first time that all cyanobacteria were able to reduce the prochiral ketones asymmetrically without light for cofactor regeneration. By comparison of the cell specific product formation capacities of cyanobacteria with typical heterotrophic whole cell biocatalysts in batch processes, it is shown that comparable or, in some cases, better performances at high enantiomeric excess (ee > 99.8,%) are obtained. As a consequence of a generally strong product inhibition, in situ product removal must be applied in order to restore process efficiency when using cyanobacteria as biocatalysts. [source]


    Rarely Decorated Rutile Frameworks Built from Triangular Organic Spacers and Distorted Octahedral Co3 Building Blocks

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 24 2007
    Feng Luo
    Abstract Under mild temperatures, the self-assembly of CoCl2 and H3BTC in a solution of dmso generates a guest-free metal,organic polymer, namely Co3(BTC)2(,1 -dmso)2(,2 -dmso)2(1: dmso = dimethylsulfoxide, H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid). In 1, the CoII ions show the six-coordinate octahedral geometry completed by the BTC3, ions and the dmso oxygen atoms; remarkably, the coordinated dmso ligands not only act as terminal ligands to complete the octahedral geometry of the CoII ions, but also play an important role in bridging CoII ions together to give the Co3 secondary building units (SBUs). From a topological viewpoint, this novel polymer is classified to be the decorated (3,6)-connected rutile net with the (4.62)2(42.610.83) topology, where BTC3, ligands and Co3 SBUs are viewed to be the 3- and 6-connected nodes, respectively. In addition, the magnetic properties of 1 are explored by using a linear trinuclear cobalt mode, thusleading to g = 2.41, J = ,34.92 cm,1, TIP = 340,×,10,6 cm3,mol,1,, = ,6 K (a , parameter was included to take into account intertrinuclear interactions).(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    1-Alkoxyamino-2-nitroalkanes as Key Building Blocks for a Chemo- and Diastereoselective Synthesis of a New Type of Polyfunctionalized N -Alkoxypiperidine

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 28 2010
    M. Ángeles López-García
    Abstract A highly efficient conversion of ,-nitrostyrenes into a new kind of functionalized N -alkoxy-2-hydroxypiperidine in two steps was developed, giving excellent yields and diastereoselectivity. The prepared compounds are the first examples of N -alkoxy-2-hydroxypiperidines. The synthetic approach involved the conjugate addition of alkoxyamines to ,-nitrostyrenes, followed by Michael addition of the isolated nitroalkoxyamines to ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, and intramolecular addition of the alkoxyamino group to the carbonyl functionality of the (non-isolated) adducts. Although three stereogenic centers are formed, only one diastereoisomer was detected. This unprecedented sequence of reactions can also be performed in a one-pot fashion. [source]


    Silylene/Oxazolidinone Double-Locked Sialic Acid Building Blocks for Efficient Sialylation Reactions in Dichloromethane

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 25 2009
    Shinya Hanashima
    Abstract We describe efficient sialylation reactions in CH2Cl2 with the use of silylene/oxazolidinone double-locked sialic acid building blocks. The building blocks were synthesized from 4,5-oxazolidinone-protected phenylthiosialoside. In sialylation reactions towards primary and relatively reactive secondary hydroxy groups on the galactosides, the double-locked building blocks provided desired coupling products in good yields with excellent ,-selectivities. In the sialylation reaction with the C3-OH of the galactoside, the double-locked building blocks expressed significantly better ,-selectivity in comparison with the results obtained by using the oxazolidinone-locked building block.

    Short and Efficient Synthesis of Alkyne-Modified Amino Glycoside Building Blocks

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 17 2009
    Claudine M. Klemm
    Abstract In the light of recent progress in RNA biology, the need for molecules that bind to RNA and thus may be suited to manipulating RNA-mediated processes is steadily increasing. We present a very short and efficient synthetic route to alkyne-modified neamine and 2-deoxystreptamine derivatives on a half-gram scale. These derivatives are suitable for constructing a library of potential divalent RNA binders by copper-catalysed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to diazides ("click chemistry"). The conjugate dimers thus formed inhibitedDicer-mediated micro-RNA maturation with IC50 values between 0.6 and 15 ,M.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009) [source]

    Tetrahydropyran-Amino Acids: Novel Building Blocks for Gramicidin-Hybrid Ion Channels

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 12 2006
    Sabine Schröder
    Abstract The stereoselective synthesis of a cis -2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran bearing a ,-amino acid has been achieved starting from N -Boc-leucinal. The THP amino acid was incorporated into peptide sequences and the structural consequences were studied by X-ray crystallography and NMR analysis. Single-channel current measurements showed that the THP amino acid is a suitable substitute for positions 11 and 12 of the gramicidin ion channel. The resulting hybrid ion channel revealed Eisenman I ion selectivity and an ion-dependence of the channel dwell time. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source]
