Isopropyl Substituent (isopropyl + substituent)
Selected AbstractsSynthesis and calcium channel modulating effects of modified Hantzsch nitrooxyalkyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(pyridinyl or 2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-pyridinecarboxylatesDRUG DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH, Issue 4 2000Ramin Miri Abstract A group of racemic nitrooxyalkyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(pyridinyl or 2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-pyridinecarboxylates 8a,o were synthesized using modified Hantzsch reactions. In vitro calcium channel antagonist activities, determined using a guinea pig ileum longitudinal smooth muscle (GPILSM) assay, showed that compounds 8a,o exhibited weaker calcium antagonist activity (10,5 to 10,7 M range) than the reference drug nifedipine (IC50 = 1.43 × 10,8 M). Compounds 8 possessing a C-4 R1 = 2-pyridyl substituent were always more potent than the approximately equiactive analogs having an R1 = 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl or 2-CF3 -C6H4 -substituent, within each subgroup of nitrooxyalkyl compounds [R2 = , (CH2)nONO2 (n = 2, 3, 4) or ,CH(CH2ONO2)2]. Although the length of the R2 = ,(CH2)nONO2 substituent (n = 2,4) was not a determinant of smooth muscle calcium antagonist activity when the C-4 R1 -substituent was 2-pyridyl, when R1 was a 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, or 2-CF3 -C6H4 -substituent, the relative potency order with respect to the R2 = ,(CH2)nONO2 substituent was n = 3 and 4 > n = 2. Replacement of the isopropyl substituent of the ester moiety of the calcium antagonist (±)-2-pyridyl 3a by a ,(CH2)nONO2 (n = 2,4) moiety increased calcium antagonist activity on GPILSM by 8-fold. In contrast, replacement of the isopropyl substituent of the ester moiety of the calcium agonists (±)-3-pyridyl 3b, (±)-4-pyridyl 3c or the methyl substituent of the ester moiety of Bay K8644 by a R2 nitrooxyalkyl substituent resulted in abolition of their calcium agonist effects on GPILSM that is replaced by a smooth muscle calcium antagonist effect. These calcium antagonist data support the concept that incorporation of a nitrooxyalkyl ester substituent constitutes a valuable drug design strategy to enhance Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonist and/or abolish calcium agonist effects on smooth muscle. Replacement of the isopropyl (8b,c), or the methyl (8d) group by a ,CH2CH2ONO2 moiety resulted in retention of the cardiac positive inotropic effect where the relative potency order with respect to the C-4 substituent was 2-CF3 -C6H6 - (8d) > 3-pyridyl (8b) , 4-pyridyl (8c). Model hybrid (calcium channel modulation, ·NO release) compounds, that exhibit dual cardioselective agonist / smooth muscle selective antagonist activities, represent a novel type of 1,4-dihydropyridine CC modulator that offers a potential approach to drug discovery targeted toward the treatment of congestive heart failure and for use as probes to study the structure,function relationship of calcium channels.

[source] Enantioselective Copper-Catalysed Allylic Alkylation of Cinnamyl Chlorides by Grignard Reagents using Chiral Phosphine-Phosphite LigandsADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2010Wibke Lölsberg Abstract The copper(I)-catalysed SN2,-type allylic substitution of E -3-aryl-allyl chlorides (cinnamyl chlorides) using Grignard reagents represents a powerful method for the synthesis of compounds carrying a benzylic stereocentre. By screening a small library of modular chiral phosphine-phosphite ligands a new copper(I)-based catalyst system was identified which allows the performance of such reactions with exceptional high degrees of regio- and enantioselectivity. Best results were obtained using TADDOL-derived ligands (3,mol%), copper(I) bromide,dimethyl sulfide (CuBr,SMe2) (2.5,mol%) and methyl tert -butyl ether (MTBE) as a solvent. Various (1-alkyl-allyl)benzene derivatives were prepared with up to 99% ee (GC) in isolated yields of up to 99%. In most cases the product contained less than 3% of the linear regioisomer (except for ortho -substituted substrates). Both electron-rich and electron-deficient cinnamyl chlorides were successfully employed. The absolute configuration of the products was assigned by comparison of experimental and calculated CD spectra. The substrates were prepared from the corresponding alcohols by reaction with thionyl chloride. Initially formed mixtures of regioisomeric allylic chlorides were homogenised by treatment with CuBr,SMe2 (2.5,mol%) in the presence of triphenyl phosphine (PPh3) (3,mol%) in MTBE at low temperature to give the pure linear isomers. In reactions with methylmagnesium bromide (MeMgBr) an ortho -diphenylphosphanyl-arylphosphite ligand with an additional phenyl substituent in ortho, -position at the aryl backbone proved to be superior. In contrast, best results were obtained in the case of higher alkyl Grignard reagents (such as ethyl-, n -butyl-, isopropyl-, and 3-butenylmagnesium bromides) with a related ligand carrying an isopropyl substituent in ortho, -position. The method was tested on a multi-mmol scale and is suited for application in natural product synthesis. [source] Pyrazolate-Based Dinucleating Ligands in L2M2 Scaffolds: Effects of Bulky Substituents and Coligands on Structures and M···H,C InteractionsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2004Jens C. Röder Abstract A series of nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes [L2M2]2+ have been prepared and structurally characterized, where L is a pyrazolate ligand with bulky 2,6-dimethyl- or 2,6-di(isopropyl)anilinomethyl side arms. Coordinating counter anions such as chloride can bind to axial sites of the dinickel species in a solvent-dependent process, giving rise to five-coordinate high-spin metal ions. In the case of weakly coordinating anions, the metal ions are found in roughly square-planar environments, and the structures are governed by the tendency of the bulky aryl groups to avoid each other, which forces the methyl or isopropyl substituents in the aryl 2- and 6-positions to approach the metal ions from the axial directions. This leads to drastic low-field shifts of the respective 1H NMR signals, e.g. , = 7.86 ppm for the isopropyl ,CH which comes in close proximity to the low-spin nickel(II) center. The relevance of such low-field NMR resonances of protons close to the axial sites of d8 metal ions for possible three-center four-electron M···H,C hydrogen bonds involving the filled d orbital of the metal ion is discussed. In the present case, attractive M···H interactions are assumed to be of no major significance. This was corroborated by the structure of a further [L2Ni2]2+ type complex where the anilinomethyl side arms bear only a single 2-isopropyl group, which was found rotated away from the metal. Additional spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the various complexes are reported. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Ho The complex trans -bis(hinokitiolato)copper(II) [systematic name: trans -bis(3-isopropyl-7-oxocyclohepta-1,3,5-trienolato)copper(II); abbreviated name: trans -Cu(hino)2], [Cu(C10H11O2)2], is a biologically active compound. Three polymorphs of this square-planar monomer, all with (+sp,,sp) isopropyl substituents, have been reported previously. A fourth polymorph containing (+ac,,ac) isopropyl groups and its chloroform disolvate, [Cu(C10H11O2)2]·2CHCl3, both exhibiting nonmerohedral twinning and with all Cu atoms on centers of crystallographic inversion symmetry, are reported here. One of the differences between all of these polymorphs is the relative conformation of the isopropyl groups with respect to the plane of the molecule. Stacking and Cu...olefin , distances ranging from 3.214,(4) to 3.311,(2),Å are observed, and the chloroform solvent molecules participate in bifurcated C,H...O hydrogen bonds [H...O = 2.26,2.40,Å, C...O = 3.123,(5),3.214,(5),Å, C,H...O = 127,151° and O...H...O = 74°].
