Synthesis, Characterization and Reactions of (Azidoethynyl)trimethylsilane.

ABSTRACT: Synthesis of azido(trimethylsilyl)acetylene (6) was performed by treating the iodonium salt 5 with highly soluble hexadecyltributylphosphonium azide (QN?) at -40 °C. Although this product is very unstable, it can nevertheless be trapped by the click reaction with cyclooctyne to give the corresponding 1,2,3-triazole, and also directly characterized by ¹H- and (13)C-NMR data as well as IR-spectra, which were measured in solution at low temperature and in the gas phase. The thermal or photochemical decay of azide 6 leads to cyano(trimethylsilyl)carbene. This is demonstrated not only by quantum chemical calculations, but also by the trapping reactions with the help of isobutene.

Synthesis of azido(trimethylsilyl)acetylene (6) was performed by treating the iodonium salt 5 with highly soluble hexadecyltributylphosphonium azide (QN₃) at -40 °C. Although this product is very unstable, it can nevertheless be trapped by the click reaction with cyclooctyne to give the corresponding 1,2,3-triazole, and also directly characterized by ¹H- and (13)C-NMR data as well as IR-spectra, which were measured in solution at low temperature and in the gas phase.

Project description:We have investigated both the chemical reduction of (BDI)Nb(V) imido complexes (BDI = HC[C(Me)NAr](2); Ar = 2,6-(i)Pr(2)-C(6)H(3)) to the formal Nb(III) oxidation state and the ability of these Nb(III) complexes to behave as two-electron reductants. The reduction of the Nb(V) species was found to depend heavily on the nature of available supporting ligands, but the chemistry of the reduced compounds proceeded cleanly with a number of unsaturated organic reagents. Accordingly, the novel Nb(V) bis(imido) complexes supported by the monoazabutadiene (mad) ligand (mad)Nb(N(t)Bu)(NAr)(L') (L' = py, thf) were formed by either KC(8) reduction of (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)Cl(2)(py) in the absence of strong π-acids or by H(2) reduction of the Nb(V) dimethyl complex (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)Me(2) in THF. These products are likely formed though an intramolecular, 2 e(-) reductive C-N bond cleavage, as has been observed previously for related Group 4 systems, suggesting that transient Nb(III) intermediates were present in both cases. In the presence of 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane (dmpe), KC(8) reduction of (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)Cl(2)(py) was arrested at the Nb(IV) oxidation state to give (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)Cl(dmpe), which was characterized by solution-state EPR spectroscopy as a Nb-centered paramagnet with strong coupling to the two equivalent phosphorus nuclei (A(iso){(93)Nb} = 120.5×10(-4) cm(-1), A(iso){(31)P} = 31.0×10(-4) cm(-1), g(iso) = 1.9815). When strong π-acids were used to intercept the thermally unstable Nb(III) complex (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(py) prior to reductive cleavage of the ligand C-N bond, the thermally stable Nb(III) species (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(CX)(2)(L″) (X = O, L″ = py; X = NXyl, L″ = CNXyl; Xyl = 2,6-Me(2)-C(6)H(3)) were obtained in good yields. The Nb(III) complexes (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)py, (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(CO)(2)(py) and (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(CO)(2) were subsequently investigated for their ability to serve as two-electron reducing reagents for both metal-ligand multiple bond formation and for the reduction of organic π-systems. The reduction of mesityl azide by (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(py) and diphenylsulfoxide by (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(CO)(2) led to the monomeric bis(imido) and dimeric oxo complexes (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(NMes)(py) and [(BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)](2)(μ2-O)(2), respectively. MeLi addition to (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(CO)(2)(py) resulted in the formation of a Nb-acylate via methide addition to one of the carbonyl carbons. The acylate product was revealed to have a short Nb-C(acylate) bond distance (2.059(4) Å), consistent with multiple Nb-C bond character resulting from Nb(III) back-bonding into the acylate carbon. The interaction of (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(CO)(2) with two equivalents of 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone resulted in the clean, quantitative formation of the corresponding pinacol coupling product, but introduction of the ketone in 1: 1 molar ratios resulted in mixtures of the pinacol product and the starting material, suggesting that ketone coordination to the Nb(III) complex may be reversible. Relatedly, addition of 1-phenyl-1-propyne to (BDI)Nb(N(t)Bu)(CO)(2) formed a thermally unstable 1: 1 Nb/alkyne complex, as characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopies; reaction of this species with HCl/MeOH yielded a 2: 1 mixture of 1-phenyl-1-propene and the free alkyne, suggesting a high degree of covalency in the Nb-C bonds.

Project description:A series of ruthenium(ii) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands were successfully synthesized by transmetalation reactions between silver(i) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes and [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 in dichloromethane under Ar conditions. All new compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. These ruthenium(ii)-NHC complexes were found to be efficient precatalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones by using 2-propanol as the hydrogen source in the presence of KOH as a co-catalyst. The antibacterial activity of ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes 3a-f was measured by disc diffusion method against Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Compounds 3d exhibited potential antibacterial activity against five bacterial species among the six used as indicator cells. The product 3e inhibits the growth of all the six tested microorganisms. Moreover, the antioxidant activity determination of these complexes 3a-f, using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) as reagent, showed that compounds 3b and 3d possess DPPH and ABTS antiradical activities. From a concentration of 1 mg ml-1, these two complexes presented a similar scavenging activity to that of the two used controls gallic acid (GA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). From a concentration of 10 mg ml-1, the percentage inhibition of complexes 3b and 3d was respectively 70% and 90%. In addition, these two Ru-NHC complexes exhibited antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Investigation of the anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of the studied complexes showed that compounds 3a, 3b, 3d and 3e exhibited good activity at 100 μg ml-1 and product 3d is the most active. In a cytotoxicity study the complexes 3 were evaluated against two human cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. Both 3d and 3e complexes were found to be active against the tested cell lines showing comparable activity with examples in the literature.
