Prediction of perception using structure–activity models
2016
IntroductionThe possible link between the molecular structure and a biological activity was pointed out by Linus Pauling (1946) just before the middle of the 20th century. Nevertheless, this concept has been already suggested a century before by Emil Fisher and “lock-and-key” theory: “To use a metaphor, I would say that enzyme and glucoside are such lock and key that fit together in order to exert a reciprocal chemical effect on each other”a (Fischer, 1894). The notion that the biological properties of a compound would be a function of its chemical characteristics is now well admitted, and is closely linked to that of pharmacophore. The pharmacophore concept is related to the interaction of…
Synthesis of new cationic donor-stabilized phosphenium adducts and their unexpected P-substituent exchange reactions
2008
The reaction between two 1,3-dialkylimidazolium-2-carboxylates 1a and 1b and two different dichlorophosphines (RPCl(2), with R = Ph and NEt(2)) led to new donor-stabilized phosphenium adducts. When the reaction was performed with the 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate 1a and PhPCl(2) in a 2:1 ratio, the phosphine 4a, bearing two imidazolium moieties, was obtained and led to 5a, after an anion exchange reaction with KPF(6), the latter being fully characterized by an X-ray structure analysis. In similar conditions, the bis-imidazolium phosphine or phosphene-di-ium, 4b, which is analogous to 4a, has been obtained by the addition of PhPCl(2) to the 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium-2-carboxylate…
Acid- and Base-Catalysis in the Mononuclear Rearrangement of Some (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in Toluene: Effect of Subs…
2011
The reaction rates for the rearrangement of eleven (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 3a-k into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1, 2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas 4a-k in the presence of trichloroacetic acid or of piperidine have been determined in toluene at 313.1 K. The results have been related to the effect of the aryl substituent by using Hammett and/or Ingold-Yukawa-Tsuno correlations and have been compared with those previously collected in a protic polar solvent (dioxane/water) as well as with those on the analogous rearrangement of the corresponding (Z)-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 1a-k in benzene. Some light can thus be shed on the general di…
A new mechanism for internal nucleophilic substitution reactions
2018
A new mechanism for the classic internal nucleophilic substitution reactions SNi by means of computational studies in the gas-phase, DCM and acetonitrile is reported. Despite the importance of the SNi mechanism, since the mid-1990s this mechanism has remained unexplored. This study focused mainly on the comparison between the mechanisms postulated to date for the SNi reactions and a new mechanism suggested by us that fits better the experimental observations. This comparative study has been applied to the conversion of ethyl, neopentyl, isopropyl and tert-butyl chlorosulfites into the corresponding alkyl chlorides. This new mechanism occurs through two transition structures. For primary and…
Cu(I) complexes with diethoxyphosphoryl-1,10-phenanthrolines in catalysis of C–C and C–heteroatom bonds formation
2015
Abstract Diethoxyphosphoryl substituted 1,10-phenanthroline copper(I) complexes were tested as catalysts in the Sonogashira-type reaction, α-arylation of phosphoryl-stabilized C–H acids, C–N, C–P bond forming reactions (substitution reactions) and in the reaction of phenylacetylene and bis(pinacolato)diboron (addition reaction). The complexes demonstrate fairly high catalytic activity and in some cases their efficiency is superior to that of the parent Cu(phen)(PPh 3 )Br (phen = phenanthroline).
Use of a bulky phosphine of weak σ-donicity with palladium as a versatile and highly-active catalytic system: allylation and arylation coupling react…
2005
Abstract Carbon–carbon(sp2–sp2 and sp1–sp2) and carbon–nitrogen (nucleophilic allylation) coupling processes are promoted by a catalytic system containing [PdCl(η3–C3H5)]2 with the new ferrocenyl bis(difurylphosphine) 1,1′-bis[di(5-methyl-2-furyl)phosphino]ferrocene, Fc[P(FuMe)2]2. Starting from aryl bromides or allylic acetates this versatile catalyst system may be used at low palladium loadings (10−1–10−4 mol%) in some Heck, Suzuki, Sonogashira and allylic amination reactions to give cross-coupled products in excellent yield. Remarkably high activity is obtained in allylic substitution reactions, providing a significant impetus for the development of bulky phosphines possessing weak σ-don…
N1-Functionalized Indole-Phosphane Oxazoline (IndPHOX) Ligands in Asymmetric Allylic Substitution Reactions
2012
N-Functionalized IndPHOX ligands bearing various groups have been synthesized and the effects of the N1-substituent on the reaction rate, yield, and asymmetric induction in a palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution reaction are reported. The presence of an oxygen atom in the ligands, namely an N-MOM or N-THP group, led to enhancement of the enantioselectivity in the allylic amination reaction. In addition, a ligand with a chiral oxazoline ring at C-1 and a phosphane substituent at C-2 provided high enantioselectivity in good yield in an asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction.
INSERTION OF ISOCYANIDES INTO THE PALLADIUM CARBON BOND OF C-2-PALLADATED HETEROCYCLES - SYNTHESIS OF TRANS-[PDCL(C(RN)=NR) (PPH3)2] COMPLEXES (RN = …
1985
The titles complexes trans-[PdCl{C(RN)NR}(PPh3)2] (RN = 2-pyridyl (2-py), R = p-C6H4OMe, Me; RN = 2-pyrazyl (2-pyz), R = p-C6H4OMe) can be prepared by reaction of the N-protonated compounds, cis-[PdCl2(RNH)(PPh3] (RNH = 2-pyridylium (2-pyH) or 2-pyrazylium (2-pyzH) group), with PPh3, followed by addition of the isocyanide CNR and deprotonation with triethylamine, in a molar ratio Pd/PPh3/CNR/NEt3 of 1/1/1/1.1. The reaction sequence involves the successive formation of the cationic intermediates trans-[PdCl(RNH)(PPh3)2]+, trans-[Pd(RNH)(CNR)(PPh3)2]2+ and trans-[Pd(RN)(CNR)(PPh3)2]+, which were isolated and characterized as perchlorate salts for RN = 2-pyridyl. In the final step the coordin…
Ligand substitution reactions of the [ReX6]2− (X=Cl, Br) anions. Synthesis and crystal structure of novel oxalato complexes of rhenium(IV)
2006
Abstract The reaction of K2[ReX6] (X = Cl, Br) with oxalic acid and triethylamine in dimethylformamide solution yields the substituted complexes [ReX4(ox)]2− and cis-[ReX2(ox)2]2−, which can be obtained separately depending on the amount of added amine. The crystal structures of (PPh4)2[ReBr4(ox)], cis-(PPh4)2[ReBr2(ox)2] and cis-(AsPh4)2[ReCl2(ox)2] have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The anionic complexes are octahedral with only slight distortions. The direct isolation of the pure complexes as well as the formation of only the cis isomers – without the presence of trans isomers and/or [Re(ox)3]2− – is probably due to the kinetic inertness of Re(IV)–X bonds, which in…
Solution behaviour and relative stability of the complexes [MCl2(RNCHCHNR)] and [MCl2(py-2-CHNR)] (M=Pd, Pt;R=C6H4OMe-p)
1988
Abstract Even though the α-diimino complexes [MCl 2 (RNCHCHNR)] and [MCl 2 (py-2-CHNR)] (M=Pd, Pt;R=C 6 H 4 OMe- p ) are poorly soluble in chlorinated solvents, such as chloroform and 1,2-dichloroethane, or in acetonitrile, the electronic and 1 H NMR spectra indicate that these compounds are generally present as undissociate monomers with σ, σ′- N,N′ chelate N-ligands in dilute solutions. Only for [PdCl 2 (RNCHCHNR)], some dissociation of the α-diimine occurs in acetonitrile. In dimethylsulfoxide, where the solubility is much higher, no dissociation is observed for the pyridine-2-carbaldimine complexes [MCl 2 (py-2-CHNR)], whereas the 1,2-bis(imino) ethane derivatives [MCl 2 (RNCH…
