    Synthesis, Cytotoxicity and Antibacterial Studies of p -Methoxybenzyl-Substituted and Benzyl-Substituted N-Heterocyclic Carbene,Silver Complexes

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2010
    Siddappa Patil
    Abstract p -Methoxybenzyl-substituted and benzyl-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) [(3a,c) and (6a,c)] precursors were synthesised from the reaction of 1H -imidazole (1a), 4,5-dichloro-1H -imidazole (1b), and 1H -benzimidazole (1c) with p -methoxybenzyl bromide (2) and benzyl bromide (5). These NHC precursors were then treated with silver(I) acetate to yield the NHC,silver complexes [1,3-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)imidazol-2-ylidene]silver(I) acetate (4a), [4,5-dichloro-1,3-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)imidazol-2-ylidene]silver(I) acetate (4b), [1,3-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)benzimidazol-2-ylidene]silver(I) acetate (4c), (1,3-dibenzylimidazol-2-ylidene)silver(I) acetate (7a), (1,3-dibenzyl-4,5-dichloroimidazol-2-ylidene)silver(I) acetate (7b), and (1,3-dibenzylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene)silver(I) acetate (7c), respectively. The NHC precursor 3c, four NHC,silver complexes 4c and 7a,c were characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The preliminary antibacterial activity of all the compounds was studied against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus using the Kirby,Bauer disk-diffusion method. Almost all the NHC,silver complexes have shown high antibacterial activity compared to the NHC precursors. In addition, the NHC,silver complexes had their cytotoxicity investigated through MTT-based preliminary in vitro testing on the Caki-1 cell lines in order to determine their IC50 values. NHC,silver complexes 4a,c and 7a,c were found to have IC50 values of 7.3 (+/,6), 12.7(+/,3), 25.2 (+/,5), 2.5 (+/,3), 10.8 (+/,4) and 12.5 (+/,4) ,M respectively on the Caki-1 cell line. [source]


    Reprogramming of a Malonic N-Heterocyclic Carbene: A Simple Backbone Modification with Dramatic Consequences on the Ligand's Donor Properties

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2010
    Vincent César
    Abstract Reaction of N,N, -dimesitylformamidine with dimethylmalonyl dichloride in dichloromethane in the presence of an excess of triethylamine gives the 2-chloro-4,5-dioxohexahydropyrimidine 1. The corresponding diamidocarbene 3 is generated in situ by further deprotonation with KHMDS at ,40 °C and identified by trapping with S8 to give the fully characterized (including X-ray structure) sulfur adduct 4. It also reacts with [RhCl(cod)]2 to yield the NHC complex [RhCl(3)(cod)] (5) (characterized also by X-ray structure). The donor properties of 3 were evaluated against the established IR [,(CO)] scale from [RhCl(3)(CO)2] (6). The average value of ,(CO) = 2045 cm,1 indicates that the diamidocarbene 3 is much less nucleophilic than structurally relevant six-membered NHCs including the anionic diaminocarbenes previously reported in our group.

    Adducts of Aluminum and Gallium Trichloride with a N -Heterocyclic Carbene and an Adduct of Aluminum Trichloride with a Thione

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 20 2004
    Andreas Stasch
    Abstract The reactions of AlCl3 and GaCl3 with 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazole-2-ylidene in toluene at room temperature affords the 1:1 adducts 5 and 6, respectively. The use of a bulky N -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in toluene/THF and AlCl3 results in the formation of an imidazolium salt 7 with the tetrachloroaluminate anion. A 1:1 adduct 8 of 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazole-2(3H)-thione with AlCl3 is obtained in toluene. The crystal structures of 5·0.5C7H8, 7·THF and 8 were determined. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Towards Long-Living Metathesis Catalysts by Tuning the N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) Ligand on Trifluoroacetamide-Activated Boomerang Ru Complexes

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 25 2009
    Hervé Clavier
    Abstract The synthesis and characterization of three novel trifluoromethylamido-containing "boomerang" precatalysts bearing various N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are reported. Comparative kinetic and stability studies show the significant effect of the NHC on the catalyst reaction profile. An investigation of the reaction scope for diverse metathesis transformations has allowed us to establish the influence of the NHC on catalyst activity, especially as a function of substrate steric bulk. The excellent stability of one of the novel precatalysts is disclosed, and allowed for its recovery at the end of catalytic reactions. Large-scale ring-closing metathesis, enyne-metathesis and cross-metathesis experiments have revealed the recoverability of the catalyst. ICP-MS analyses of the synthesized products reveal Ru contamination levels of less than 2.5 ppm.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009) [source]


    Synthesis and Characterization of Pyrazolyl-Functionalized Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids and Hemilabile (Carbene)palladium(II) Complex Catalyzed Heck Reaction

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2007
    Ruihu Wang
    Abstract Neat reactions of 1-(pyrazolylmethyl)imidazole with an excess of alkyl or polyfluoroalkyl halides at 100 °C followed by subsequent metathetical reactions with LiN(SO2CF3)2 or KPF6 at 25 °C gave rise to a series of monoquaternary salts 3a,3k. These salts can be also prepared through treatment of 1-alkylimidazole with 1-(chloromethyl)pyrazole hydrochloride in the presence of base, followed by anion exchange with LiN(SO2CF3)2 or KPF6. Their phase-transition temperature, thermal stability, density and solubility in common solvents have been investigated. Most of the bis(trifluoromethanesulfon)amide salts are room-temperature ionic liquids. The effect of anions and of alkyl substituents bonded to the imidazolium cation on the physicochemical properties was examined. Using 3-butyl-1-(pyrazolylmethyl)imidazolium chloride (2d), the precursor of 3-butyl-1-(pyrazolylmethyl)imidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfon)amide (3d), as a reactant, a hemilabile (N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complex 4 was synthesized through a (carbene)silver(I) transfer reagent. It was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The catalytic activity and recyclability of 4 in 3d were preliminarily evaluated by consecutive Heck reactions using different substrates. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Synthesis, Structural Diversity, and Ligand-Transfer Potential of (Carbene)copper(I) Complexes

    HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 6 2009
    Galmari Venkatachalam
    Abstract Copper(I) complexes comprising different N-heterocyclic carbene ligands were prepared via in situ deprotonation and metallation. Depending on the wingtip groups on the carbene ligand (alkyl vs. aryl, chelating or monodentate), a variety of different structural motifs were identified, such as a trigonal planar geometry (alkyl wingtips) and an unprecedented see-saw-type structure (pyridinyl wingtip groups). While aryl wingtip groups increase the stability of the complexes, alkyl substituents induce rapid demetallation in the presence of moisture. The reactivity of these complexes was used to establish a carbene-transfer protocol, which is illustrated by the formation of new cyclic thiourea compounds (transfer to sulfur) and new (carbene)ruthenium(II) complexes (transfer to ruthenium). This suggests that (carbene)copper(I) complexes could become valuable alternatives to (carbene)silver(I) complexes for synthesizing (carbene)metal systems via transmetallation. [source]


    Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of N-Heterocyclic Carbene- Palladium(II) Complexes

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 1 2010

    Abstract The microwave-assisted synthesis of two different types of N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium(II) complexes, (NHC)Pd(acac)Cl (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene; acac=acetylacetonate) and (NHC)PdCl2(3-chloropyridine), has been carried out. A drastic reduction in reaction times (20 to 88 times faster, depending on the complex) was observed when compared to the previously described, conventionally-heated synthesis of these complexes. The protocol also allowed for the synthesis of (IPr)Pd(acac)Cl [IPr=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene] on a 5-mmol scale in 30,min, with the reactants loaded in air. [source]


    Ferrocene Redox Controlled Reversible Immobilization of Ruthenium Carbene in Ionic Liquid: A Versatile Catalyst for Ring-Closing Metathesis

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 10 2009
    Guiyan Liu
    Abstract A ferrocene-tagged ruthenium carbene 15 that can be reversibly immobilized in an ionic liquid (IL) via the controlled oxidation and reduction of a ferrocene tag was prepared. This offers a new strategy which uses redox chemistry to control immobilization and to recycle both the catalyst and the IL. In this experiment, 11 recycles were performed for the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of a substrate using 16 as the catalyst in an ionic liquid (IL). More importantly, after the reaction was completed, the ruthenium catalyst was easily separated from the supporting IL by just adding decamethylferrocene (DMFc) to reduce the cationic ferrocene and then extracting it with benzene. Thus, this recycle system offers an easy way to recycle both the ruthenium catalyst and the IL. [source]

    Dipl.-Chem.
    Abstract Die Quantifizierung und Variation der charakteristischen Eigenschaften von Ligandenklassen ist ein spannendes und lohnenswertes Forschungsgebiet. N-heterocyclische Carbene (NHCs) sind dabei wegen ihres Elektronenreichtums und ihrer Struktur von besonderem Interesse. Deshalb haben NHCs weite Verbreitung als Liganden in der Übergangsmetallkatalyse und der Organometallchemie sowie auch direkt in der Organokatalyse gefunden. Hier wird ein Überblick über die physikochemischen Daten (Elektronik, Sterik, Bindung) von NHCs gegeben, die für das Design, die Anwendung und das mechanistische Verständnis dieser Verbindungen in der Katalyse nützlich sind.
