Regioselective nitration of N(alpha),N(1)-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-L-tryptophan methyl ester: efficient synthesis of 2-nitro and 6-nitro-N-trifluoroacetyl-L-tryptophan methyl ester.

ABSTRACT: Nitration of N(alpha),N(1)-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-l-tryptophan methyl ester with HNO(3) in acetic anhydride at 0 degrees C provides N(alpha)-trifluoroacetyl-2-nitro-l-tryptophan methyl ester in 67% yield, whereas nitration in trifluoroacetic acid at 0 degrees C gives N(alpha)-trifluoroacetyl-6-nitro-l-tryptophan methyl ester in 69% yield.

1,5-Bis(2-methyl-phen-yl)-3-nitro-formazan.

Project description:In the title compound, C(15)H(15)N(5)O(2), the nitro O atoms are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.75?(4):0.25?(4). Amine-imine tautomerism is observed in the formazan group. This was evident from the similar C-N bond distances in the formazan [1.319?(2) and 1.332?(3)?Å], as well as the distribution of the imine proton in the Fourier difference map which refined to a 0.53?(3):0.47?(3) ratio. C-H?O and ?-? inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.4813?(1) and 3.3976?(1)?Å] are observed in the crystal packing.

Bis(2-methyl-4-nitro-anilinium) tetra-chloridomercurate(II).

Project description:The title compound, (C(7)H(9)N(2)O(2))(2)[HgCl(4)], self-assembles into cationic organic bilayers containing the 2-methyl-4-nitro-anilinium cations, sandwiched between anionic inorganic layers built up by the distorted tetra-hedral [HgCl(4)](2-) groups. The organic sheets are inter-linked through weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while they inter-act with the anionic part via strong charge-assisted N(+)-H⋯Cl-Hg hydrogen bonds. The [HgCl(4)](2-) anions are bis-ected by a mirror plane passing through the metal and two of the chloride ions.

Regioselective Nitration of Halogenated Benzo[c]cinnolines and Benzenoids.

Project description:Electrophilic nitration of halo-substituted benzo[c]cinnolines and benzenoids has been achieved regioselectively. The nitro group entry was always ortho to the halo group or/and the aromatic ring. This regioselective electrophilic ortho-nitration was accomplished in mixed acid/mild temperature conditions. Regioselectivity ortho to the halo/ring group(s) was observed with or without proximal steric hindrance. Chlorides and bromides worked equally well in directing these high-yielding ortho-selective reactions.

Crystal structure of 5,15-bis-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-10,20-bis-(4-nitro-phen-yl)porphyrin nitro-benzene disolvate.

Project description:The whole mol-ecule of the title porphyrin, C46H32N6O4·2C6H5NO2, which crystallized as a nitro-benzene disolvate, is generated by inversion symmetry. The porphyrin macrocycle is almost planar, the maximum deviation from the mean plane of the non-hydrogen atoms is 0.097?(2)?Å. The aryl rings at the meso positions are inclined to this mean plane by 74.84?(6)° for the nitro-phenyl rings and 73.37?(7)° for the tolyl rings. In the crystal, the porphyrin mol-ecules are linked by C-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. The solvent mol-ecules are also linked by C-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. Inter-digitation of the p-tolyl groups along the c axis creates rectangular channels in which the solvent mol-ecules are located.

1,3-Bis(chloro-meth-yl)-2-methyl-5-nitro-benzene.

Project description:The title compound, C(9)H(9)Cl(2)NO(2), is a natural product isolated from the endophytic fungus No. B77 of the mangrove tree from the South China Sea coast. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules lie on twofold axes and form offset stacks through face-to-face π-π inter-actions. Adjacent mol-ecules in each stack are related by a centre of inversion and have an inter-planar separation of 3.53 (1) Å, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.76 (1) Å. Between stacks, there are C-H⋯O inter-actions to the nitro groups and Cl⋯Cl contacts of 3.462 (1) Å.

Bis[?-methyl-enebis(diphenyl-phosphine)]bis-[(5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline)silver(I)] bis-(hexa-fluoridoanti-monate).

Project description:In the title compound, [Ag(2)(C(12)H(7)N(3)O(2))(2)(C(25)H(22)P(2))(2)](SbF(6))(2), the two Ag(I) atoms are bridged by the two methyl-enebis(diphenyl-phosphine) ligands and an eight-membered centrosymmetric metallacyclic ring is formed. The metal atom exhibits a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry, coordinated by two P atoms of the bridging ligands and two N atoms of the chelating 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The latter ligand shows minor disorder, adopting two orientations with site occupancy factors of 0.84 and 0.16.

Project description:The title salt, 2C7H11N2 (+)·2C7H4NO4 (-)·3H2O, crystallized with two anions and two cations in the asymmetric unit, together with three water mol-ecules. Both 4-di-methyl-amino-pyridinium cations are protonated at their pyridine N atoms with the plane of the N(CH3)2 hetero atoms inclined to the pyridine ring by 4.5 (2) and 1.4 (2)°. In the 2-nitro-benzoate anions, the carboxyl and nitro groups are inclined to their respective benzene rings by 77.1 (3) and 20.0 (3)°, and 75.8 (2) and 20.9 (3)°. In the crystal, the anions are linked via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol-ecules, forming chains along [100]. The cations are linked to these chains by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Project description:Nitration of tetraphenylporphyrin cage compound 1, at -40 °C, leads to the regioselective formation of the chiral mononitro compound 2 (75% isolated yield) and, at -30 °C, to the achiral syn-dinitro-derivative 3 and the chiral anti-dinitro derivative 4 in a diastereomeric ratio of 5:2, which were separated by chromatography (46 and 20% yields, respectively). The structures of the compounds were confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Bioinspired Bronsted Acid-Promoted Regioselective Tryptophan Isoprenylations.

Project description:Tryptophan-containing isoprenoid indole alkaloid natural products are well known for their intricate structural architectures and significant biological activities. Nature employs dimethylallyl tryptophan synthases (DMATSs) or aromatic indole prenyltransferases (iPTs) to catalyze regio- and stereoselective prenylation of l-Trp. Regioselective synthetic routes that isoprenylate cyclo-Trp-Trp in a 2,5-diketopiperazine (DKP) core, in a desymmetrizing manner, are nonexistent and are highly desirable. Herein, we present an elaborate report on Brønsted acid-promoted regioselective tryptophan isoprenylation strategy, applicable to both the monomeric amino acid and its dimeric l-Trp DKP. This report outlines a method that regio- and stereoselectively increases sp3 centers of a privileged bioactive core. We report on conditions involving screening of Brønsted acids, their conjugate base as salt, solvent, temperature, and various substrates with diverse side chains. Furthermore, we extensively delineate effects on regio- and stereoselection of isoprenylation and their stereochemical confirmation via NMR experiments. Regioselectively, the C3-position undergoes normal-isoprenylation or benzylation and forms exo-ring-fused pyrroloindolines selectively. Through appropriate prenyl group migrations, we report access to the bioactive tryprostatin alkaloids, and by C3-normal-farnesylation, we access anticancer drimentines as direct targets of this method. The optimized strategy affords iso-tryprostatin B-type products and predrimentine C with 58 and 55% yields, respectively. The current work has several similarities to biosynthesis, such as-reactions can be performed on unprotected substrates, conditions that enable Brønsted acid promotion, and they are easy to perform under ambient conditions, without the need for stoichiometric levels of any transition metal or expensive ligands.

Project description:[reaction: see text] A facile route to the alpha-methyl ester of 2-methyleneglutarate via a three-step sequence from 3-hydroxymethylcyclopentene is described. Regioselective formation of the monoacid from a diester precursor proceeds via a novel fluoride-mediated, tandem deprotection/rearrangement of O-silyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)dimethylglutarate.
