β-Amino alcohols from anilines and ethylene glycol through heterogeneous Borrowing Hydrogen reaction

Abstract Borrowing Hydrogen (BH), also called Hydrogen Autotransfer (HA), reaction with neat ethylene glycol represents a key step in the preparation of β-amino alcohols. However, due to the stability of ethylene glycol, mono-activation has rarely been achieved. Herein, a combination of Pd/C and ZnO is reported as heterogeneous catalyst for this BH/HA reaction. This system results in an extremely air and moisture stable, and economic catalyst able to mono-functionalize ethylene glycol in water, without further activation of the diol. In this work, different diols and aromatic amines have been explored affording a new approach towards amino alcohols. This study reveals how the combination of…

Approaches for the introduction of fluorinated substituents into [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines

Abstract [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines functionalization with a trifluoromethyl group has been achieved for the first time using different synthetic strategies. Furthermore, these scaffolds have been employed as starting material in the synthesis of new 2,6-disubstituted pyridines containing the trifluoromethyl group, compounds that are not available using other methodologies. A fluorine-mediated triazolopyridine dimerisation is described, improving the previously known synthetic method. Preliminary studies focused on exploring triazolopyridines reactivity with electrophilic fluorine have revealed a new approach for the obtainment of imidazopyridines.

Coordinating behaviour of a new pyridylhydrazone; tris-complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with 2-pyridylcarbaldehyde-N,N-dimethylhydrazone

The preparation and characterization oftris-complexes of MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII and ZnII with a new pyridylhydrazone, 2-pyridylcarbaldehyde-N,N-dimethylhydrazone (pch), are described. In all the complexes pch behaves as a bidentate ligand binding through the pyridine and azomethyne nitrogen atoms. The complexes appear to be monomeric, high spin six-coordinate, and a distorted octahedral stereochemistry around the metal is suggested. The e.p.r. results for both CuII compounds indicate a mainly dx2−y2 ground state with a static Jahn-Teller distortion, whilst for the MnII complex the e.p.r. data indicates a very low symmetry for the MnN6 polyhedron.

New structural motifs in Mn cluster chemistry from the ketone/gem-diol and bis(gem-diol) forms of 2,6-di-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine: {MnII4MnIII2} and {MnII4MnIII6} complexes

The employment of the tripyridyl/diketone ligand 2,6-di-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine [(py)CO(py)CO(py)], in conjunction with azides (N3−), in Mn cluster chemistry has afforded the mixed-valence (II/III) complexes [MnII4MnIII2(N3)6Cl4(L1)2(DMF)4] (1) and [MnII4MnIII6O2(N3)12(L1)2(L2H)2(DMF)6] (2) in good yields. The resulting ligands L12− and L2H3− are the dianion and trianion of the ketone/gem-diol (L1H2) and bis(gem-diol) (L2H4) forms of (py)CO(py)CO(py), respectively, as derived from the metal-assisted hydrolysis of the parent dicarbonyl organic compound. Under the same synthetic conditions (i.e., reaction solvents, temperature and stirring time), the chemical identity of the two complexes…

[(Pyridylcarbonyl)pyridyl]triazolopyridines, Useful Ligands for the Construction of Polynuclear Coordination Compounds – Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of a Novel Tetranuclear Copper(II) Cubane

A new tetranuclear cubane Cu4O4 complex has been synthesised from assembly of CuII ions and the polydentate ligand (pyridin-2-yl){6-([1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)pyridin-2-yl}methanone. Crystallographic analysis indicates that the Cu4O4 unit has an S4 symmetry. The magnetic properties have been analysed using the H = –2Σi,jJijSiSj spin Hamiltonian. Two distinct coupling constants, 2J1,3 = –37.4 cm–1 and 2J1,2 = –2.6 cm–1, obtained from the fitting of the experimental data have been rationalised on the basis of a density functional study of magnetostructural correlations in cubane complexes containing the Cu4O4 core.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation inhibited by aporphine and phenanthrene alkaloids semi-synthesized from natural boldine.

Four phenanthrene and one aporphine alkaloids semi-synthesized from boldine were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. ROS generation by neutrophils stimulated with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine was inhibited in a concentration dependent manner. Alkaloids exerted similar inhibitory effect in the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system than in stimulated neutrophils, which could be attributed to a direct ROS scavenging activity. None of the alkaloids assayed had any effect on xanthine oxidase activity. Therefore the synthesized alkaloids might constitute an alternative therapy in inflammation disorders in which ROS generation is involved.

Synthesis, Optical Properties, and DNA Interaction of New Diquats Based on Triazolopyridines and Triazoloquinolines

New diquat derivatives based on [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline have been synthesized in excellent yields. To evaluate the effect of the alkyl bridge length, ethane and propane dibromo alkane substrates were used for their synthesis. Theoretical calculations predicted a very small energetic barrier between the two possible enantiomers P (Ra ) and M (Sa ), which makes them very difficult to resolve. Thermal denaturation studies, UV/Visible spectroscopy, and fluorescence titrations with ct-DNA evidenced the intercalation of the quinoline derivatives in DNA.

Spectroscopic studies of the interaction of 3-(2-thienyl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine with 2,6-dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin and ctDNA

The inclusion complexation behavior of 3-(2-thienyl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a] pyridine (TTP) with native β-cyclodextrin and derivatized cyclodextrins was investigated. Stability constants for complexes with 1 : 1 molar ratios were calculated from phase solubility diagrams. The solubilizing efficiency of the TTP inclusion complex is enhanced in the order of DMβCD > HPβCD > βCD. The TTP-DMβCD inclusion complex was further characterized in solution by means of absorption, fluorescence, 2D NMR and molecular modeling methods. The thermodynamic studies indicate that the inclusion of TTP into the cyclodextrin cavity is mainly an enthalpy-driven process. The 2D NMR studies revealed that the thienyl m…

ESR, electrochemical and cyclodextrin-inclusion studies of triazolopyridyl pyridyl ketones and dipyridyl ketones derivatives.

Abstract The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of free radicals obtained by electrolytic reduction of triazolopyridyl pyridyl ketones and dipyridyl ketones derivatives were measured in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).

Co(II) chemistry of 2,6-bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine: an icosanuclear Co cluster exhibiting superparamagnetic relaxation.

High-nuclearity transition-metal complexes (clusters) are of special interest in chemistry and physics because, both in terms of size and physical properties, they bridge the gap between the microscopic and macroscopic world, and between quantum and classical systems. In terms of size, the smallest classical nanoparticles fabricated today are the same size as the largest metal clusters that are synthesized by bottom-up methods. In terms of physical properties, certain transition-metal clusters exhibit single-molecule magnetism at low temperatures, that is, they retain their magnetization in zero field in a manner analogous to that of classical macroscopic magnets, but at the same time they …

The first member of a second generation family of ligands derived from metal-ion assisted reactivity of di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine: Synthesis and characterization of a MnII/III4 rhombus

Abstract Nucleophilic attack by the carbanion −CH2COCH3 at the carbonyl carbon atoms of 2,6-di-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine, pyCOpyCOpy, in the presence of Mnn+ ions under basic conditions has yielded the cationic cluster [Mn4(OH)2(L)2(H2O)2](ClO4)4 (1), where L2− is the (py)C(CH2COCH3)(O−)(py)C(CH2COCH3)(O−)(py) dianion. The cluster cation possesses a planar {MnII2MnIII2(μ3-OH)2(μ-OR)4}4+ rhombus core, resulting from two μ3-OH− ions and two η1:η2:η1:η1:η1:η2:η1:μ3 bridging L2− groups from the in situ formed ligand. Complex 1 is antiferromagnetically coupled with an unusual S = 2 ground state resulting from spin frustration effects within the triangular Mn3 subunits of the cluster.

Abstract 3-Fluoropyridine was deprotonated on treatment with 1/3 equiv of Bu 3 MgLi in THF at −10 °C. The lithium arylmagnesate formed was either trapped with electrophiles or involved in a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with 2-bromopyridine. The use of a less nucleophilic lithium-magnesium-dialkylamide, (TMP) 3 MgLi, allowed the reaction of 3-fluoroquinoline, giving the 2,2′-dimeric derivative. 2-Fluoropyridine and 2,6-difluoropyridine were deprotonated using 1/3 equiv of the highly coordinated magnesate Bu 4 MgLi 2 in THF at −10 °C in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine. 1,3-Difluorobenzene reacted similarly when treated with Bu 3 MgLi;…

Synthesis of Novel Polyazinyl-Substituted Triazolopyridines from [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines

A series of 7-azinyl-substituted triazolopyridines and 3-(6-azi­nyl-substituted 2-pyridyl)triazolopyridines were synthesized by addition of the corresponding 3-substituted 7-lithiotriazolopyridine to pyrimidine, pyrazine, pyridazine, and 1,3,5-triazine respectively, followed by hydrolysis and oxidation.

Spin‐Crossover 2D Metal–Organic Frameworks with a Redox‐Active Ligand: [Fe(ttf‐adpy) 2 M(CN) 4 ]· n H 2 O (ttf‐adpy = 4‐Tetrathiafulvalenylcarboxamidopyridine; M II = Ni, Pd, Pt)

A new ttf (tetrathiofulvalene) ligand containing an amidopyridine moiety was synthesized and characterized. The electrochemical study of the 4-tetrathiofulvalenylcarboxamidopyridine (ttf–adpy) ligand showed two reversible oxidation processes at EI′1/2 = 0.08 V/Fc+–Fc and EII′1/2 = 0.26 V/Fc+–Fc. The crystal structure of [(ttf–adpyH)2Pt(CN)4] (1) was solved at 293 K, where 1 displays the triclinic space group P. The ttf–adpyH+ molecule is planar, and the bond lengths within the ttf core are in the usual range for neutral ttf moieties. The ttf–adpyH+ molecules and the [Pt(CN)4]2– anions organize in a three-dimensional network by means of hydrogen bonds and short S···S contacts. In the network…

Isomorphous replacement of MII ions in MII–GdIII dimers (MII = CuII, MnII, NiII, CoII, ZnII): magnetic studies of the products

Complexes [M(II)Gd(III){pyCO(OEt)pyC(OH)(OEt)py}₃](ClO₄)₂·EtOH [M(II) = Cu(II) (1), Mn(II) (2), Ni(II) (3), Co(II) (4) and Zn(II) (5)] crystallize in the monoclinic Cc space group and contain one hexacoordinate M(II) ion and one enneacoordinate Gd(III) ion, bridged by three {pyCO(OEt)pyC(OH)(OEt)py}⁻ ligands. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a ferromagnetic interaction for 1 and antiferromagnetic interactions for 2-4. Using the Ĥ = -JŜ(Gd(III))Ŝ(M(II)) spin Hamiltonian formalism, fits to the magnetic susceptibility data yielded J values of +0.32 cm⁻¹ for 1, -1.7 cm⁻¹ for 2, and -0.22 cm⁻¹ for 3. In complex 4, the orbital contributions of Co(II) precluded the determination of th…

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterisation ofbis-Complexes of Cobalt(II), Nickel(II) and Copper(II) with N,N,N′N′-Tetraethylpyridinecarboxamide

Abstract Bis-complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with tedpa (N,N,N′N′-tetraethyl-pyridinedicarboxamide) having the general formula [M(tedpa)2]X2 (X = ClO4, PF6) have been synthesized and characterised by i.r., electronic and e.p.r. spectra. The spectroscopic results suggest that the tedpa acts in these compounds as tridentate ligand through two oxygen atoms and a nitrogen (from the pyridine ring) atom. A distorted octahedral environment (MN2O4 chromophores) for the metal atoms is inferred from the spectroscopic data.

Abstract Cycloaddition reactions between 3-vinylthiophen and the dienophiles maleic anhydride, methyl acrylate, dimethyl acetylene - dicarboxylate, and methyl propiolate give products including methyl benzo[b]thiophen-7-carboxylate (11) and its dihydroderivative (10), the 6,7-dicarboxylic acid (3), its dimethyl ester (7) and dihydroester (6); the naphtho[a,b]dithiophen (14), and the novel ethano bridged benzo[b]thiophen (15).

Straight Access to Indoles from Anilines and Ethylene Glycol by Heterogeneous Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Condensation.

The development of original strategies for the preparation of indole derivatives is a major goal in drug design. Herein, we report the first straight access to indoles from anilines and ethylene glycol by heterogeneous catalysis, based on an acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation, under noninert conditions. In order to achieve high selectivity, a combination of Pt/Al2O3 and ZnO have been found to slowly dehydrogenate ethylene glycol generating, after condensation with the amine and tautomeric equilibrium, the corresponding pyrrole-ring unsubstituted indoles.

Triazolopyridyl ketones as a novel class of antileishmanial agents. DNA binding and BSA interaction

A new series of triazolopyridyl pyridyl ketones has been synthetized by regioselective lithiation of the corresponding [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine at 7 position followed by reaction with different electrophiles. The in vitro antileishmanial activity of these compounds was evaluated against Leishmaniainfantum, Leishmaniabraziliensis, Leishmaniaguyanensis and Leishmaniaamazonensis. Compounds 6 and 7 were found to be the most active leishmanicidal agents. Both of them showed activities at micromolar concentration against cultured promastigotes of Leishmania spp. (IC₅₀=99.8-26.8 μM), without cytotoxicity on J774 macrophage cells. These two compounds were also tested in vivo in a murine model…

Abstract The synthesis of some 5-, 6-, and 7-halogenotriazolopyridines is described, and their reactions with nucleophiles. The formation of 7,7′-bitriazolopyridines provides a new synthesis of 2,2′-bipyridines.

Properties of a triazolopyridine system as a molecular chemosensor for metal ions, anions, and amino acids.

The characteristics as a chemosensor of the compound 3-methyl-6,8-di(2-pyridyl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[5',1':6,1]pyrido[2,3-]pyrimidine (1) have been analyzed. Interaction with Cu(2+) produces a quenching of the fluorescence, while interaction with Zn(2+) leads to a quenching of the fluorescence followed by a bathochromic shift. The crystal structure of the Zn(1)(H(2)O)(3)(ClO(4))(2) x H(2)O complex shows the coordination of Zn(2+) through the terpyridine moiety. The octahedral site is completed by three water molecules. Interactions of the Zn(2+) complex with the anions sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, and dihydrogenphosphate in ethanol produce hypsochromic shifts and restoration of the fluorescence wh…

N-(5-Amino-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamide

The title compound, C8H8N6O, was obtained by the reaction of 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole with ethyl 2-picolinate in a glass oven. The dihedral angles formed between the plane of the amide group and the pyridine and triazole rings are 11.8 (3) and 5.8 (3)°, respectively. In the crystal, an extensive system of classical N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds generate an infinite three-dimensional network.

Abstract Hydrogenation reactions of some [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines and their benzo derivatives, [1,2,3]-triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline and [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline are studied. In general, the pyridine ring is more easily hydrogenated than the triazole or benzene rings.

Evaluation and synthesis of 7-arylhydroxymethyltriazolopyridines as potential cardiovascular agents

7-Arylhydroxymethyltriazolopyridines 3a-c and 4a-d were synthesized by regioselective lithiation of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines 1 and 2 and subsequent trapping of the 7-lithioderivatives formed using aryl aldehydes as electrophiles. The structural relationship between compounds 3a-c and 4a-d and arylethanolamines suggested their consideration as potential cardiovascular agents. A preliminary evaluation as vascular smooth muscle relaxants was carried out. These compounds did not act as α1-adrenoceptor antagonists and were unable to block calcium entry through voltage-dependent calcium channels.

3-(2-Pyridyl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines. An experimental and theoretical (DFT) study of the ring-chain isomerization

An experimental (1H NMR) and theoretical (DFT) study of the ring-chain-ring isomerization of 3-(2-pyridyl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrid-7-yl derivatives (A) into 6-{[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrid-3-yl}-2-pyridyl derivatives (B) has been carried out. Based on the calculations, a mechanism of several steps will be proposed. The experimental results as well as the calculations lead to the conclusion that the A-B ratio depends on the electronic properties of the substituents. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.

Reactivity of [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines as 1,3-dipoles

Abstract We have studied the reactions between [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5- a ]pyridines 1a,b,c and electron-deficient ethylenes in different conditions. Compounds 1a and 1b react with ethyl propiolate, and dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate giving a new class of biaryl compounds pyridyl pyrazoles, and with ethyl acrylate giving pyridyl cyclopropanes. Compound 1c did not give any product in the studied conditions. A proposal of mechanism of these reactions is done in which the triazolopyridines act as 1,3-dipoles giving 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions.

Expanding the 3d-4f heterometallic chemistry of the (py)2CO and pyCOpyCOpy ligands: structural, magnetic and Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of two Fe(II)-Gd(III) complexes.

Complex [Fe(II)Gd(III){pyCO(OEt)pyCOH(OEt)py}(3)](ClO(4))(2) (1) crystallizes in the Cc space group and contains one hexacoordinate ferrous ion and one enneacoordinate Gd(III) ion. Complex [Fe(2)(II)Gd(III){pyCO(OEt)py}(4)(NO(3))(H(2)O)][Gd(NO(3))(5)](0.5)(ClO(4)) (2) crystallizes in the C2/c space group and contains two hexacoordinate ferrous ions and one octacoordinate Gd(III) ion. Both complexes have been prepared by the metal-assisted ethanolysis of ligands di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine (pyCOpyCOpy, dpcp) and di-2-pyridyl ketone ((py)(2)CO, dpk), which exhibit similar structures. Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of 2 revealed the presence of two quadrupole-split doublets of equal in…

An "S"-shaped pentanuclear CuII cluster derived from the metal-assisted hydrolysis of pyCOpyCOpy: structural, magnetic and spectroscopic studies.

Reaction of [Cu2(O2CMe)4(H2O)2] with 2,6-di-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)-pyridine (pyCOpyCOpy or dpcp) in MeCN–H2O 10 : 1, led to the pentanuclear copper(II) complex [Cu5(O2CMe)6{pyC(O)(OH)pyC(O)(OH)py}2] (1) which crystallizes in the triclinic P space group. The copper(II) atoms are arranged in an “S”-shaped configuration, and are bridged by the doubly deprotonated bis(gem-diol) form of the ligand, pyC(O)(OH)pyC(O)(OH)py2−. Magnetic susceptibility data indicate the interplay of both ferro- and antiferromagnetic intramolecular interactions stabilizing an S = 3/2 ground state. Fitting of the data according to a next-nearest-neighbour model {Ĥ = −[J1(Ŝ1Ŝ2 + Ŝ1′Ŝ2′) + J2(Ŝ2Ŝ3 + Ŝ3′Ŝ2′) + J3(Ŝ1Ŝ3 + Ŝ3′Ŝ…

Triazolopyridines 22.1 Description of new 7,9-di(2-pyridyl)[1,2,3]triazolo[5',1':6,1]pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines

The new heteroaromatic compounds, 7,9-di(2-pyridyl)(1,2,3)triazolo(5',1':6,1)pyrido(3,2-d) pyrimidines 11a-c, were synthesized in two steps from readily available triazolopyridines 1a-c. Regioselective lithiation of 1a-c followed by treatment with 2-cyanopyridine gave a mixture of compounds 5a-c, and 11a-c in moderate to low yields, together with gums. Similar reactions with the triazolopyridine 1d gave as the only identified compound the triazolopyridine derivative 5d.

Triazolopyridines 23. Synthesis of 5,5'-bi[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline

5,5'-Bi[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline 6 has been synthesised from [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a] isoquinoline 5 by four procedures, dimerisation by LDA, Stille and Suzuki self-coupling reactions, and Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The last is the best. Compound 6 gives 1,1'bi(acetoxymethyl)-3,3'-biisoquinoline 10 by triazolo ring opening by acetic acid.

From six-coordinate to eight-coordinate iron(ii) complexes with pyridyltriazolo-pyridine frameworks

A new octacoordinated Fe(II) compound, [FeII(LN4)2](BPh4)2·3CH2Cl2, as an example of the scarce FeN8 systems, has been isolated with a tetradentate triazolopyridine-based ligand from a solution containing the related hexacoordinated [FeII(LN3)2]2+ complex, with LN3 = pyridyltriazolo-pyridyl-bromopyrimidine and LN4 = bis(pyridyltriazolo-pyridine).

Combining Amines and 3-(2-Pyridyl)-[1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine: An Easy Access to New Functional Polynitrogenated Ligands

Triazolopyridine-pyridine amine ligands are easily obtained by means of either thermal- or copper(II)-mediated reactions. Starting from a readily accessible iodo derivative of triazolopyridine-pyridine and different amines, this new family of compounds combines aromatic and aliphatic nitrogen atoms with promising coordinating properties. Furthermore, chemical derivatization of a new triazolopyridine-pyridine diamine compound, N1-[6-([1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)pyridin-2-yl]ethan-1,2-diamine, allows the preparation of several remote-pyridine-containing ligands.

Opposite vascular activity of (R)-apomorphine and its oxidised derivatives. Endothelium-dependent vasoconstriction induced by the auto-oxidation metabolite

We have synthetised a series of oxidised apomorphine derivatives (orto and para quinones 2-5), in order to analyse their vascular activity. We have performed radioligand binding assays on rat cortical membranes and functional studies on rat aortic rings. Instead the relaxant activity exhibited by (R)-apomorphine, o-quinones 2, 4, show contractile activity dependent on endothelium in rat aortic rings. Compound 2, the main metabolite of (R)-apomorphine auto-oxidation, was the product which showed enhanced contractile activity by a complex mechanism related to activation of Ca(2+) channels through release and/or inhibition of endothelial factors. Moreover, this compound disrupts the endothelia…

Tris(2-thienyl)methyl cation; An unprecedent 13C NMR behavior

Abstract An unexpected response of the chemical shift value to the substitution of phenyl by thienyl groups is found in the series 1–8 . On this basis the planar cation 7 appears to show an homoaromatic-like peripheral ring current.

About the relevance of anion-π interactions in water.

Anion-π interactions are emerging as exotic features with potential applications in chemistry. In the last years, their relevance in living systems has been outlined, and so far there is no concluding significant evidence recognized about the participation of anion-π interactions in water because anion-π sensors contain large aromatic hydrophobic surfaces with limited solubility. By transforming a neutral heterocycle (for example quinoline) into its corresponding salt (quinolinium), we have been able to overcome these solubility issues, and new cationic water-soluble fluorophores have been prepared. Herein, we used N-alkylated heterocycles as π-acidic surfaces to shed light on the nature of…

Bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid: towards transparent metal–organic frameworks

The preparation of transparent porous materials can offer a different access towards the study of molecules under solid confined space. Metal-organic frameworks represent a unique opportunity due to their tunable pore size, however aromatic linkers present strong absorption and reduce the transparency. Herein, we report the first example of a MOF with bicyclic organic dicarboxylic linkers and its use as a solid solvent.

Synthesis and in vitro leishmanicidal activity of novel [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine salts

Leishmaniasis remains a significant worldwide problem; it is of great interest to develop new drugs to fight this disease. Recently we described some [1,2,3] triazolo[1,5-a] pyridine compounds with significant leishmanicidal activity. The importance of water solubility in drug action made us realise that we could transform non charged triazolopyridines into charged analogues that could increase the degree of water solubility. With this objective we report here the synthesis of novel [1,2,3] triazolo[1,5-a] pyridinium salts 2-7 from triazolopyridines 1, and the study of their in vitro leishmanicidal activity. The activity was tested on Leishmania infantum, Leishmania braziliensis and Leishma…

A C(π-hole)⋯Cl-Zn tetrel interaction driving a metal-organic supramolecular assembly

A brominated pyrimidinyl triazolopyridine ligand (bptpy) forms a C(π-hole)⋯Cl-Zn tetrel interaction that plays a determining role in the formation of supramolecular layers through chain assembly in 18 membered metallacycle [(ZnCl2)2(μ-bptpy)2] crystals. Supramolecular chains are formed through C-H⋯X interactions. The observed interactions are supported by DFT calculations using model dimers. This journal is

Results: Compound 16 inhibits 14α-demethylase producing an imbalance in the cholesterol/ergosterol synthesis pathway, as suggested by a metabolic control and theoretical docking analysis. Consequently, it prevented cell proliferation, stopping the cellular cy…

Hydrogen bonding versus π-stacking in ferromagnetic interactions. Studies on a copper triazolopyridine complex

Magnetic susceptibility measurements show weak ferromagnetic exchange between the copper(II) ions of a novel triazolopyridine derivative [Cu(TPT)(H2O)2(BF4)](BF4)·2H2O (TPT = 3-{6-([1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrid-3-yl)-2-pyridyl}-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine). Mononuclear [Cu(TPT)(H2O)2(BF4)]+ entities are connected through O–H⋯F, C–H⋯F and π⋯π interactions to give a 3D framework. Ferromagnetic properties are discussed on the basis of the interactions network.

An efficient one pot transfer hydrogenation and N-alkylation of quinolines with alcohols mediated by Pd/C/Zn

A Pd/C/Zn mixture with alcohols has been revealed to be an efficient transfer hydrogenation system to quinolines.

Cycloaddition reactions. A new type of cycloadduct from a substituted 2-vinylthiophen and dmad

Abstract Cycloaddition reactions between 2-(1-cyanoallyl)thiophen and the dienophiles diethyl azodicarboxylate, N-phenylmaleimide , methyl propiolate, and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate are reported. Products include simple benzo[b] thiophen carboxylates (13,19) and reduced derivatives (8,9,10,12,18), as a mixture of diastereoisomers, except in the adduct with diethyl azodicarboxylate. With dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate a new type of tricyclic compound was also found (20).

The deprotonative metalation of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]quinoline. Synthesis of 8-haloquinolin-2-carboxaldehydes

New highly functionalized triazoloquinolines were synthesized by applying polar organometallic methods. Double metalation and functionalization provided 3,9-dihalogenated triazoloquinolines. Ring opening of the triazole with loss of nitrogen has been performed for the first time with 3,9-dihalogenated triazoloquinolines allowing the access toward 8-haloquinolin-2-carboxaldehydes under oxidant-free conditions. This approach demonstrates that the triazole ring can be used as protecting group of 2-quinolinecarboxaldehydes, activating the C9-position for lithiation and functionalization by triazole ring opening. 8-Haloquinoline-2-carbaldehydes become in this way readily available.

[1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives as molecular chemosensors for zinc(ii), nitrite and cyanide anions

Three recently prepared tridentate ligands TPF, TPS and TPT, based on the triazolopyridine–pyridine nucleus possessing fluorescent properties, have been tested as chemosensors for metal ions. A particular response is obtained in the case of ZnTPT+2. The Zn2+ TPT 1 : 1 complex has proved to be an efficient chemosensor for anions especially nitrite and cyanide.

The chemistry of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5- c ]pyrimidine

Abstract Reactions of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine 2 with some electrophiles and nucleophiles are reported. Triazole ring opening and loss of nitrogen is the principal reaction with electrophiles. With strong acids protonation on N6 competes successfully. Derivatives in which the pyrimidine ring has been opened are obtained in reactions with nucleophiles. No stable simple substitution compounds were found.

A remarkable rearrangement during reaction between triazolopyridinium ylides and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate

Abstract The ylides from 2-acylmethyltriazolopyridinium salts ( 1 ) react with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in toluene solution to give the 7-pyrroleninylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines ( 5 ).

A theoretical and experimental study of the racemization process of hexaaza[5]helicenes

A dynamic 1H NMR study, together with DFT calculations, of bis-([1,2,3]triazolo)[1,5-a:5′,1′-k][1,10]phenanthroline 2 has allowed to identify the ring and open forms of a new example of ring/chain tautomerism, as well as their interconversion barriers (ring/ring and ring/open). The barrier of the exchange process between the chain forms and the ring form was found higher than the 'racemization' process in the closed form, so the ring opening does not contribute to the 'racemization'. The di-1,10-methyl and di-1,10-iodo derivatives have been prepared and their properties calculated.

Triazolopyridines. Part 24: New polynitrogenated potential helicating ligands

The synthesis of novel 7-{[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl}-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines 7, 2-pyridyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrid-7-ylmethanols 11, 3-(6-substituted-2-pyridyl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines 12, and 7,7′-disubstituted-3,3′-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine 20, interesting polynitrogenated ligands as potential helicating compounds or luminescent sensors, from [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines is described.

Determination of Molecular Crystal Structures from X-Ray Powder Diffraction Data

Synthesis and structural properties of hexaaza[5]helicene containing two [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine moieties

Abstract We have synthesized a novel hexaaza[5]helicene in a straightforward way from neocuproine. The crystal structure has been elucidated with direct-space strategy TALP which demonstrates the power of the powder X-ray diffraction technique. In this crystal structure it is possible to see an interplanar angle of 33(1)° between the two triazolopyridine rings. The centrosymmetric crystal structure is a racemic mixture, but the resolution was not possible due to a ring-chain isomerization in a solution that produces a dynamic racemization.

Triazolopyridines. Part 30. Hydrogen transfer reactions; pyridylcarbene formation

The transfer hydrogenation reaction of (1,2,3)triaz olo(1,5-a)pyridines with Pd/C/Zn or Pd(OH) 2/C/Zn in water, ethanol or water/ethanol mixture ha s been explored. 4,5,6,7-Tetrahydro- triazolopyridines were obtained in good to medium yields. In addition, under the same conditions 2-substituted pyridines were also formed as a resul t of intermediate pyridylcarbene formation, by triazole ring opening and loss of nitrogen.

Coordinating behaviour of 3-methyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (tzpy): crystal and molecular structure and electronic properties of [Cu(tzpy)2(ONO2)2(OH2)]

Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(tzpy) 2 (ONO 2 ) 2 (OH 2 )] (tzpy=3-methyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5- a ]pyridine) has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structure is built up of discrete [Cu(tzpy) 2 (ONO 2 ) 2 (OH 2 )] entities linked through hydrogen bonds. The coordination geometry around the copper atom can be described as an elongated and strongly distorted octahedron displaying a 4+1+1* coordination mode (CuN 2 O 2 O′O″ chromophore), with one of the nitrato groups acting as bidentate and involved in a weak off-the- z -axis coordination. Spectroscopic properties are interpreted on the basis of the above stereochemistry.
