Aromatic Nucleophilic Substitution (SNAr) of meso-Nitroporphyrin with Azide and Amines as an Alternative Metal Catalyst Free Synthetic Approach To Obtain meso-N-Substituted Porphyrins

International audience; Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction of the nitro group of meso-nitroporphyrins with azide and various amines was achieved and represents an alternative procedure to C-N coupling reactions usually needed to obtain such meso-N-substituted porphyrins in good yields.

Reinvestigation of the Pd-catalysed bis(silylation) of alkynes with 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-bis(phenylthiomethyl)disilane: Unexpected formation of the eight-membered siloxane-chelate complex cis-[PdCl2{(PhSCH2SiMe2)2O}].

International audience; The bis(silylated) alkenes Z-(PhSCH2)Me2SiC(H)=C(Fc)SiMe2(CH2SPh) (2) and Z-(PhSCH2)Me2SiC(H)=C(bipheny)SiMe2(CH2SPh) (3) have been prepared by Pd-catalysed double silylation of ethynylferrocene and 4-ethynyl-1,1'-biphenyl in the presence of 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-1,2-bis(phenylthiomethyl)disilane (1). A reinvestigation on the interaction of 1 with [PdCl2(PhCN)2] in technical-grade CH2Cl2 as solvent revealed competition between reduction to elemental palladium (due to oxidative addition of the Si-Si bond across Pd(II) and subsequent reductive elimination) and formation of an unusual eight-membered chelate complex cis-[PdCl2{(PhSCH2SiMe2)2O}] (4), which is fluxional in s…

Synthesis, crystallographic and electrochemical study of ethynyl[2.2]paracyclophane derived cobalt metallatetrahedranes

Abstract A series of alkynyl cobalt complexes [Co2(μ-η2-HCC–PCP)(CO)6−nLn] [n = 0 (2); n = 2, L2 = dppa (3), dppm (4), dcpm (6), 2 P(OPh)3 (7)] and [Co2(CO)4L2]2(μ-η2:μ-η2-HCC–PCP–CCH)] (L2 = dppm (8), dcpm (9); (PCP = [2.2]paracyclophane) has been prepared and characterized. The molecular structures of 3 and 4, as well as that of [Co2(CO)4(μ-CO)2(μ2-dcpm)] (5), have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical studies (Cyclic Voltammetry, Rotating Disk Electrode) and luminescence spectroscopy have been used to evaluate the extent of the electronic communication through the PCP motif using the “Co2C2” centres as a probe. No electronic coupling between the Co2(CO)n centres via the b…

Expression of P, S, and F1C adhesins by cytotoxic necrotizing factor1-producing Escherichia coli from septicemic and diarrheic pigs

Nineteen papC-positive cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 (CNF1)-producing Escherichia coli isolates from pigs with septicemia or diarrhea were tested for the presence of pap-, sfa-, and afa-related sequences encoding P/Prs, S/F1C, and Dr/AFA adhesins respectively. Production of adhesins by isolates was tested by mannose-resistant hemagglutination (MRHA), sialidase treatment of erythrocytes and particle agglutination tests. Production of P, S, and F1C fimbriae by isolates was also examined by immunofluorescence. All isolates were pap+ by PCR. Eighteen isolates (95%) were MRHA for ovine and human A erythrocytes and exhibited GalNac-GalNac receptor specificity associated with class III P(Prs) adh…

(2,2‐Dibromovinyl)ferrocene as a Building Block for the Assembly of Heterodinuclear Complexes – Preparation of an σ‐Alkenylpalladium Complex and Dimetallic Dithioether Complexes

The oxidative addition of (2,2-dibromovinyl)ferrocene [Br2C=C(H)–Fc] (1) to [Pd(PPh3)4] yields the heterodinuclear σ-alkenyl complex trans-[{Pd(Br)(PPh3)2}–C(Br)=C(H)–Fc] (2). Nucleophilic attack of sodium thiolates on 1 unexpectedly affords the vinyl thioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(H)–Fc] (4a: R = Ph; 4b: R = tBu; 4c: R = Et). Complexes 4a and 4c can also be prepared by addition of NaSR across the triple bond of Fc–C≡C–H (3). Addition of an excess of NaSR to 1 affords the dithioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(SR)–Fc] (5a: R = Ph; 5b: R = p-tolyl; 5c: R = Et). An addition/elimination sequence is suggested to account for this surprising result. The yield of 5c is very low due to a co…
