Double-CO32− Centered [CoII5] Wheel and Modeling of Its Magnetic Properties

2010

A high-spin Co(II) cluster with a rare pentagonal molecular structure and formula [Co(5)(CO(3))(2)(bpp)(5)]ClO(4) (1; Hbpp is 2,6-bis(phenyliminomethyl)-4-methylphenolate) has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This topology arises from fusing five [Co(2)(bpp)] moieties in a cyclic manner around two CO(3)(2-) central ligands, resulting in propeller-like configuration. The irregular coordination of the carbonate ions to the metal centers results in a combination of coordination numbers (CNs) of the Co(II) ions of five and six. The bulk magnetization of this complicated magnetically exchanged system has been modeled successfully by employing a matrix diago…

Synthesis and pharmacology of 6-substituted benztropines: discovery of novel dopamine uptake inhibitors possessing low binding affinity to the dopami…

2005

A series of 6alpha- and 6beta-substituted benztropines were synthesized. A marked enantioselectivity was observed for the 6beta-methoxylated benztropines, the (1R)-isomers being more potent than the corresponding (1S) compounds. The racemic 6alpha-methoxy-3-(4',4' '-difluorodiphenylmethoxy)tropane (5 g) was the most potent compound. It has been found that modifications at the 6-position of benztropine might reduce the DAT binding affinity, maintaining otherwise a significant dopamine uptake inhibitory activity. A reinvestigation of the absolute configuration of 6beta-methoxytropinone proved the 6R configuration for the (+)-enantiomer.

Pig liver esterase (PLE)-mediated resolution of N-substituted 4-benzoyloxy-3-carbomethoxypiperidines: A convenient preparation of 4-hydroxy- and 4-be…

2000

Abstract Pig liver esterase (PLE) afforded smooth chemical resolution of racemic N -substituted 4-(benzoyloxy)-3-carbomethoxypiperidines. The enzyme showed good chemo- and enantioselective properties, thus allowing discrimination between the carbomethoxy and benzoate ester groups, the latter being more easily hydrolyzed. The proposed methodology also represents a practical means for the procurement of N -substituted 4-hydroxy-3-carbomethoxypiperidines in enantiomerically pure form.
