Structural and spectroscopic characterisation of 2-(2'-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole and its O-methyl derivative
2004
Abstract Density functional theory calculations on the tautomeric and conformational equilibria of 2-(2′-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole (HBP) and 2-(2′-methoxybenzoyl)pyrrole (MBP) were performed. Moreover, the experimental IR and UV spectra of the same compounds were recorded and compared with the theoretical data. The presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond in HBP can be related to the biological activities of some of its derivatives.
Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer in Ferrocenium–Phenolate Radicals
2013
Electron and proton transfer (ET, PT) can be intimately coupled, provided suitable redox and acid/base sites are available. The amide-linked ferrocene–phenol H-1 is deprotonated to the phenolate [1]– by phosphazene bases and oxidized to the ferrocenium ion [H-1]+ by silver hexafluoroantimonate. Concomitant oxidation and deprotonation yields the radical [1]•, featuring a characteristic near-IR absorption band. The ground state of [1]• is best described as the ferrocenium–phenolate zwitterion [1b]• with a dynamic dissymmetric N···H···O hydrogen bond (PT). The ferrocenium–iminolate N···H–O tautomer [1b]•-NHO′ can undergo a thermal structural rearrangement to the high-energy OH···O tautomer [1b…
Tautomerism in pyridazin-3(2H)-one: a theoretical study using implicit/explicit solvation models.
2013
Abstract The tautomeric conversion of pyridazin-3(2H)-one 1 into pyridazin-3-ol 2 has been theoretically studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level. Two mechanisms have been considered for this process: (i) one in which the hydrogen is directly transferred through TS12; and (ii) another one in which a double hydrogen transfer takes place via TS1122 upon formation of the corresponding dimer. The former requires a very high activation energy of 42.64 kcal/mol as a consequence of the strain associated with the formation of the four-membered TS12, while the latter requires a much lower activation energy, 14.66 kcal/mol. Implicit, explicit, and a combinat…
Straight Access to Indoles from Anilines and Ethylene Glycol by Heterogeneous Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Condensation.
2017
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.
ChemInform Abstract: Cross-Dehydrogenative Couplings Between Indoles and β-Keto Esters: Ligand-Assisted Ligand Tautomerization and Dehydrogenation vi…
2014
Cross-dehydrogenative coupling reactions between β-ketoesters and electron-rich arenes, such as indoles, proceed with high regiochemical fidelity with a range of β-ketoesters and indoles. The mechanism of the reaction between a prototypical β-ketoester, ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanonecarboxylate, and N-methylindole has been studied experimentally by monitoring the temporal course of the reaction by (1)H NMR, kinetic isotope effect studies, and control experiments. DFT calculations have been carried out using a dispersion-corrected range-separated hybrid functional (ωB97X-D) to explore the basic elementary steps of the catalytic cycle. The experimental results indicate that the reaction proceeds v…

N-Heterocyclic carbenes from ylides of indolyl-imidazolium, azaindolyl-imidazolium, and indolyl-triazolium salts, and their borane adducts
2014
Abstract Indol-2-yl-imidazolium salts were deprotonated at N1 of the indole ring to give ylides. Their tautomeric N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were trapped by sulfur to give imidazole-2-thiones. Treatment of the ylides with triethylborane resulted in the formation of zwitterionic borane adducts. An analogous sequence of reactions was performed with 8-azaindol-2-yl-imidazolium salts, which served as precursor to prepare first representatives of a new heterocyclic ring system on reaction of their NHC-tautomers with triethylborane. Similarly, an indol-2-yl-1,2,4-triazolium salt was examined with respect to ylide–NHC tautomerism and trapping reactions. A nucleophilic ring transformation of in…
6-Thiopurine complexes of organotin(IV) moieties. Synthesis and structural characterization by infrared and Mössbauer spectroscopy
1982
Abstract The novel complexes Me3Sn(6-TP−1) and Bun2Sn(6-TP−1)2, where 6-TP−1 is the mono-anion of 6-thiopurine, have been synthesized. The sites of stannylation of 6-TP have been inferred from the known directions of electrophilic substitution reactions of 6-TP itself. The compounds have been characterized by infrared and Mossbauer spectroscopy. A solid state polymeric structure has been proposed for Me3Sn(6-TP−1), where planar SnC3 skeletons are bridged by 6-TP−1 (thione tautomer) axially bound to Sn through N(3) and N(1) atoms. For Bun2Sn(6-TP−1)2, a molecular structure has been advanced, with the ‘aromatic’ ligand anions chelating Sn by S-N(7) atoms.
Molecular switching complexes with iron and tin as central atom
2009
Abstract The precursor [Fe III (L)Cl] (LH 2 = N , N ′-bis(2′-hydroxy-benzyliden)-1,6-diamino-3-N-hexane is a high-spin ( S = 5/2) complex. This precursor is combined with the bridging units [Sn IV (X) 4 ] (X = CN − , NCS − ) to yield star-shaped pentanuclear clusters, [(LFe III –X) 4 Sn]Cl 4 . For X = CN − the 57 Fe-Mossbauer data show a multiple spin transition between iron(III) in the high-spin and low-spin state, while the 119m Sn-Mossbauer data indicate a valence tautomerism between Sn(IV) and Sn(II). Changing the bridging unit from X = CN − to X = NCS − turns the switchability off.
