The structure of ammonium pyrazolates in the solid state
The crystals obtained by mixing equimolar amounts of diethyl 1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate and the primary amines phenethylamine and homoveratrylamine are ammonium pyrazolate salts as determined by 13C and 15N CPMAS NMR. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A new macrocyclic dipyrazolate salt of diazatetraester structure able to efficiently and selectively interact with psychotropic phenethylammonium salts
Abstract The equilibrium stability constants (Ks) of a series of ammonium pyrazolate complexes [L22−]2RN(R′)H2+ (7, R′=H and 8, R′=Me) formed from a new macrocyclic disodium dipyrazolate salt of diazatetraester structure 6[L22−] 2Na+ and ammonium salts [RNH3+X− or RN(Me)H2+X−] of psychotropic drugs and neurotransmitter catecholamines has been evaluated by electrochemical methods in DMSO solution. The resulting Ks values demonstrate that in general, the diazatetraester crown-derived dipyrazolate salt 6 exerts a stronger complexing effect over phenethylammonium ions than that of the dioxatetraester crown-derived disodium dipyrazolate salt 2 previously reported. Interestingly, complexes formed…
Self-assembly of 3,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)pyrazolate anions and ammonium cations of β-phenylethylamine or homoveratrylamine into hetero-double-stranded helical structures
Hydrogen-bonded double-stranded hetero-helices are formed when reacting sodium 3,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)pyrazolate with beta-phenethylammonium or homoveratrylammonium chloride, in which one of the strands is defined by the ammonium cations and the other one by the pyrazolate anions.
Electrochemical determination of the stability of complexes formed by proton-ionizable ligands of 3,5-disubstituted 1H-pyrazole with phenethylamine
The application of two extreme models for diffusion in two-component systems to electrochemically determine equilibrium constants is discussed. The application of cyclic voltammetric, diferential pulse and rotating-disc electrode voltammetric data to elucidate the stoichiometry and formation constant of complex species by applying a generalization of the molar-ratio method is described. Molar-ratio experiments permit the distinction between the limiting diffusive regimes. The values of the equilibrium stability constants for complexation of phenethylamine and phenethylammonium ions by a 26-membered dioxotetraester crown of 3,5-disubstituted 1H-pyrazole as free ligand 1[L] and as dipyrazolat…
Simple dialkyl pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylates show in vitro and in vivo activity against disease-causing trypanosomatids.
SUMMARYThe synthesis and antiprotozoal activity of some simple dialkyl pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylates (compounds 2–6) and their sodium salts (pyrazolates) (compounds 7–9) against Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania infantum and Leishmania braziliensis are reported. In most cases the studied compounds showed, especially against the clinically significant amastigote forms, in vitro activities higher than those of the reference drugs (benznidazole for T. cruzi and glucantime for Leishmania spp.); furthermore, the low non-specific cytotoxicities against Vero cells and macrophages shown by these compounds led to good selectivity indexes, which are 8–72 times higher for T. cruzi amastigotes and 15–113 tim…
Effective complexation of psychotropic phenethylammonium salts from a disodium dipyrazolate salt of macrocyclic structure
The equilibrium stability constants (Ks) of ammonium pyrazolate complexes [L2−]2RN(R′)H2+ (3, R′ = H and 4, R′ = Me) formed from a macrocyclic disodium dipyrazolate salt 2[L2−] 2Na+ and ammonium salts (RNH3+X− or RN(Me)H2+X−) of psychotropic drugs and neurotransmitter catecholamines have been evaluated by electrochemical methods in DMSO solution. The resulting Ks values demonstrate that, except for (±)-amphetamine, the complexes formed by lipophilic primary [mescaline, (+)-amphetamine, (±)-p-methoxyamphetamine (PMA), (±)-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA)] and secondary [(±)-methamphetamine, (+)-methamphetamine and (±)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA ‘ecstasy’)] phenethylamines are…
Hydrogen-bond-mediated self-assembly of 26-membered diaza tetraester crowns of 3,5-disubstituted 1 h -pyrazole. Dimerization study in the solid state and in CDCl3 solution
By using an improved synthetic method reported earlier, the cyclic stannoxanes obtained from RN-diethanolamine (R = Me, Bu) and dibutyltin oxide have been reacted with 1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarbonyl dichloride to afford 26-membered diaza tetraester crowns (1, R = Me; 3, R = Bu) and 39-membered triaza hexaester crowns (2, R = Me; 4, R = Bu). The new structures were identified from their analytical and spectroscopic (1H and 13C NMR, FAB-MS, and/or ESI-MS) data. Both diaza tetraester crowns (1 and 3), containing two 1H-pyrazole units, self-assemble into dimeric species through the formation of four hydrogen bonds involving the two NH pyrazole groups and the two tertiary amine groups of both crowns…
