Dialkyl(butadiene)cyclopentadienylmolybdenum(III) Complexes. Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity
2000
International audience; Treatment of CpMo(η4-diene)Cl2 (diene = 1,3-butadiene, C4H6, 1‘; isoprene, C5H8, 1‘ ‘; 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, C6H10, 1‘ ‘) in diethyl ether at low temperature with 2 equiv of alkylmagnesium RMgX reagents affords the corresponding dialkyl complexes CpMo(η4-1,3-diene)R2 (2, 2‘, 2‘ ‘, R = CH3, a; CH2Ph, b; CH2SiMe3, c). These species are isolable in moderate yields and have been fully characterized by EPR, elemental analyses, and cyclic voltammetry. They all show a reversible reduction process at relatively low potentials and an irreversible oxidation. The structure of 2‘ ‘a was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mixed complex CpMo(η4-C4H6)Cl(CH3), …
Secoiridoids and Iridoids from Morinda asteroscepa
2020
The new 2,3-secoiridoids morisecoiridoic acids A (1) and B (2), the new iridoid 8-acetoxyepishanzilactone (3), and four additional known iridoids (4–7) were isolated from the leaf and stem bark methanol extracts of Morinda asteroscepa using chromatographic methods. The structure of shanzilactone (4) was revised. The purified metabolites were identified using NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric techniques, with the absolute configuration of 1 having been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crude leaf extract (10 μg/mL) and compounds 1–3 and 5 (10 μM) showed mild antiplasmodial activities against the chloroquine-sensitive malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (…
Crotofolane Diterpenoids and Other Constituents Isolated from Croton kilwae
2023
Six new crotofolane diterpenoids (1-6) and 13 known compounds (7-19) were isolated from the MeOH- CH2Cl2 (1:1, v/v) extracts of the leaves and stem bark of Croton kilwae. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive analysis of spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data. The structure of crotokilwaepoxide A (1) was confirmed by single -crystal X-ray diffraction, allowing for the determination of its absolute configuration. The crude extracts and the isolated compounds were investigated for antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human rhinovirus type-2 (HRV-2) in HEp-2 and HeLa cells, respectively, for antibacterial activity against the Gram-posit…
Halloysite nanotubes as nanoreactors for heterogeneous micellar catalysis
2021
Abstract Hypothesis Electrostatic attractions between the anionic head group of sodium alkylsulphates and the positively charged inner surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) drive to the formation of tubular inorganic micelles, which might be employed as nanoreactors for the confinement of non polar compounds in aqueous media. On this basis, sodium alkylsulphates/halloysite hybrids could be efficient nanocatalysts for organic reactions occurring in water. Experiments Sodium decylsulphate (NaDeS) and sodium dodecylsulphate (NaDS) were selected for the functionalization of the halloysite cavity. The composition, the structure and the surface charge properties of the hybrid nanotubes were dete…
Theoretical Studies of the Reactivity of Cyclopentadienyl Nitrosyl Alkyl Species of Molybdenum and Tungsten
2000
International audience; The reactivity differences observed experimentally for Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)2 and CpMo(NO)(CH2CMe3)2 have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) techniques. The reactions of the CpW(NO)(CH2) model complex with NH3 and CH4 are more exothermic and have lower activation barriers than the corresponding processes for CpMo(NO)(CH2). The η2(C,H) methane complex CpM(NO)(CH2)(CH4) (M = Mo, W) can undergo two competitive processes: C−H activation to afford CpM(NO)(CH3)2 or loss of methane. The relative barrier heights are almost identical for M = W, whereas the formation of CpM(NO)(CH3)2 is significantly disfavored for M = Mo. The activation of C−H and N−H bonds …
Sulfonamide moiety as "molecular chimera" in the design of new drugs.
2021
Background: The -SO2NH- group is of great significance in modern pharmaceutical use since, in sulfa-drugs, it is possible to introduce easily chemical modifications, and even small changes may lead to an improved version of an already existing drug. Objective: This paper aims to describe updated information in the sulfonamide field with a particular focus on new mechanisms of action, especially if discovered by employing computational approaches. Methods: Research articles that focused on the use of the sulfonamide moiety for the design, synthesis, and in vitro/in vivo tests of various diseases were collected from various search engines like PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Scop…
