Synthesis and Structure of an o-Carboranyl-Substituted Three-Coordinate Borane Radical Anion.

ABSTRACT: Bis(1-(4-tolyl)-carboran-2-yl)-(4-tolyl)-borane [(1-(4-MeC₆ H₄ )-closo-1,2-C₂ B₁₀ H₁₀ -2-)₂ (4-MeC₆ H₄ )B] (1), a new bis(o-carboranyl)-(R)-borane was synthesised by lithiation of the o-carboranyl precursor and subsequent salt metathesis reaction with (4-tolyl)BBr₂ . Cyclic voltammetry experiments on 1 show multiple distinct reduction events with a one-electron first reduction. In a selective reduction experiment the corresponding paramagnetic radical anion 1^.- was isolated and characterized. Single-crystal structure analyses allow an in-depth comparison of 1, 1^.- , their calculated geometries, and the S₁ excited state of 1. Photophysical studies of 1 show a charge transfer (CT) emission with low quantum yield in solution but a strong increase in the solid state. TD-DFT calculations were used to identify transition-relevant orbitals.

A Persistent Phosphanyl-Substituted Thioketyl Radical Anion.

Project description:Alkali metal salts, M+ [Ter(iPr)P-C(=S)-P(iPr)2 S].- (M=Na, K; 2_M; Ter=2,6-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phenyl) containing a room-temperature-stable thioketyl radical anion were obtained by reduction of the thioketone precursor, Ter(iPr)P-C(=S)-P(iPr)2 S (1), with alkali metals (Na, K). Single-crystal X-ray studies as well as EPR spectroscopy revealed the unequivocal existence of a thioketyl radical anion in the solid state and in solution, respectively. The computed Mulliken spin density within 2_M is mainly located at the sulfur (49 %) and the carbonyl carbon (33 %) atoms. Upon adding [2.2.2]-cryptand to the radical species 2_K to minimize the interionic interaction, an activation reaction was observed, yielding a potassium salt with a phosphanyl thioether based anion, [K(crypt)]+ [Ter(iPr)P-C(-S-iPr)-P(iPr)2 S]- (3) as the product of an intermolecular shift of an iPr group from a second anion. The products were fully characterized and application of the radical anion as a reducing agent was demonstrated.

Synthesis: Molecular Structure, Thermal-Calorimetric and Computational Analyses, of Three New Amine Borane Adducts.

Project description:Cyclopropylamine borane C3H5NH2BH3 (C3AB), 2-ethyl-1-hexylamine borane CH3(CH2)3CH(C2H5)CH2NH2BH3 (C2C6AB) and didodecylamine borane (C12H25)2NHBH3 ((C12)2AB) are three new amine borane adducts (ABAs). They are synthesized by reaction of the corresponding amines with a borane complex, the reaction being exothermic as shown by Calvet calorimetry. The successful synthesis of each has been demonstrated by FTIR, Raman and NMR. For instance, the 11B NMR spectra show the presence of signals typical of the NBH3 environment, thereby implying the formation of B-N bonds. The occurrence of dihydrogen bonds (DHBs) for each of the ABAs has been highlighted by DSC and FTIR, and supported by DFT calculations (via the Mulliken charges for example). When heated, the three ABAs behave differently: C3AB and C2C6AB decompose from 68 to 100 °C whereas (C12)2AB is relatively stable up to 173 °C. That means that these ABAs are not appropriate as hydrogen carriers, but the 'most' stable (C12)2AB could open perspectives for the synthesis of advanced materials.

Three-coordinate copper(I) amido and aminyl radical complexes.

Project description:A three-coordinate Cu-NR(2) system (R = p-tolyl) supported by the anionic bis(phosphino)borate ligand [Ph(2)B(CH(2)P(t)Bu(2))(2)](-) has been isolated and structurally characterized in both its anionic Cu(I) and neutral (formally) Cu(II) oxidation states. A large rate constant for the self-exchange electron-transfer reaction (k(S) >or= 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)) makes this system a functional model for the type-1 active sites in blue copper proteins. Multiedge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance, and density functional theory analyses collectively indicate that the oxidized form is best regarded as a Cu(I)-aminyl radical complex rather than a Cu(II)-amido species, with about 70% localization of the unpaired electron on the NR(2) unit. Hydrogen-atom transfer and C-C coupling reactions are presented as examples of chemical reactivity manifested by this unusual electronic structure.

Anion-Controlled Synthesis of Novel Guanidine-Substituted Oxanorbornanes.

Project description:The cycloaddition of simple alkyl-substituted guanidine derivatives is an interesting approach toward polycyclic superbases and guanidine-based organocatalysts. Due to the high nucleophilicity of guanidines, an aza-Michael reaction with dienophiles is more common and presents a huge obstacle in achieving the desired synthetic goal. Our preliminary investigations indicated that the proton could act as a suitable protecting group to regulate the directionality of the reaction. To investigate the role of the protonation state and type of anion, the reactivity of furfuryl guanidines with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate was explored. Furfuryl guanidines showed a strong reaction dependence on the nucleophilicity of the counterion and the structure of guanidine. While the reaction of DMAD with the guanidinium halides provided products of an aza-Michael addition, Diels-Alder cycloaddition occurred if non-nucleophilic hexafluorophosphate salts were used. Depending on the structure and the reaction conditions, oxanorbornadiene products underwent subsequent intramolecular cyclization. A tendency toward intramolecular cyclization was interpreted in terms of the pKa of different positions of the guanidine functionality in oxanorbornadienes. New polycyclic guanidines had a slightly decreased pKa in acetonitrile and well-defined geometry suitable for the buildup of selective sensors.

Synthesis and Structure of Nido-Carboranyl Azide and Its "Click" Reactions.

Project description:Novel zwitter-ionic nido-carboranyl azide 9-N3(CH2)3Me2N-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 was prepared by the reaction of 9-Cl(CH2)3Me2N-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 with NaN3. The solid-state molecular structure of nido-carboranyl azide was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 9-N3(CH2)3Me2N-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 was used for the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition with phenylacetylene, alkynyl-3β-cholesterol and cobalt/iron bis(dicarbollide) terminal alkynes to form the target 1,2,3-triazoles. The nido-carborane-cholesterol conjugate 9-3β-Chol-O(CH2)C-CH-N3(CH2)3Me2N-nido-7,8-C2B9H11 with charge-compensated group in a linker can be used as a precursor for preparation of liposomes for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). A series of novel zwitter-ionic boron-enriched cluster compounds bearing a 1,2,3-triazol-metallacarborane-carborane conjugated system was synthesized. Prepared conjugates contain a large amount of boron atom in the biomolecule and potentially can be used for BNCT.

Synthesis of N3-substituted carboranyl thymidine bioconjugates and their evaluation as substrates of recombinant human thymidine kinase 1.

Project description:Four different libraries of overall twenty three N3-substituted thymidine (dThd) analogues, including eleven 3-carboranyl thymidine analogues (3CTAs), were synthesized. The latter are potential agents for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) of cancer. Linker between the dThd scaffold and the m-carborane cluster at the N3-position of the 3CTAs contained amidinyl-(3e and 3f), guanidyl-(7e-7g), tetrazolylmethyl-(9b1/2-9d1/2), or tetrazolyl groups (11b1/2-11d1/2) to improve human thymidine kinase 1 (hTK1) substrate characteristics and water solubilities compared with 1st generation 3CTAs, such as N5 and N5-2OH. The amidinyl- and guanidyl-type N3-substitued dThd analogues (3a-3f and 7a-7g) had hTK1 phosphorylation rates of <30% relative to that of dThd, the endogenous hTK1 substrate, whereas the tetrazolyl-type N3-substitued dThd analogues (9a, 9b1/2-9d1/2 and 11a, 11b1/2-11d1/2) had relative phosphorylation rates (rPRs) of >40%. Compounds 9a, 9b1/2-9d1/2 and 11a, 11b1/2-11d1/2 were subjected to in-depth enzyme kinetics studies and the obtained rk(cat)/K(m) (k(cat)/K(m) relative to that of dThd) ranged from 2.5 to 26%. The tetrazolyl-type N3-substitued dThd analogues 9b1/2 and 11d1/2 were the best substrates of hTK1 with rPRs of 52.4% and 42.5% and rk(cat)/K(m) values of 14.9% and 19.7% respectively. In comparison, the rPR and rk(cat)/K(m) values of N5-2OH in this specific study were 41.5% and 10.8%, respectively. Compounds 3e and 3f were >1900 and >1500 times, respectively, better soluble in PBS (pH 7.4) than N5-2OH whereas solubilities for 9b1/2-9d1/2 and 11b1/2-11d1/2 were only 1.3-13 times better.

A visible-light mediated three-component radical process using dithiocarbamate anion catalysis.

Project description:We report a photoinduced three-component radical process, which couples readily available alkyl chlorides, maleimides, and heteroaromatic fragments to rapidly generate complex chiral products with high diastereocontrol. This method generates radicals via an SN2-based photochemical catalytic mechanism, which is not reliant on the redox properties of the precursors. It therefore grants access to open-shell intermediates from substrates that would be incompatible with or inert to classical radical-generating strategies. The redox-neutral conditions of this process make it tolerant of redox-sensitive substrates and allow the installation of multiple biologically relevant heterocycles within the cascade products.

"Carboranyl-cysteine"-Synthesis, Structure and Self-Assembly Behavior of a Novel ?-Amino Acid.

Project description:Substitution of the thiol proton in cysteine with m-carborane furnished 2-amino-3-(1,7-dicarba-closo-dodecacarboranyl-1-thio)propanoic acid (3), a boron cluster amino acid that exhibits self-assembly to form micron-sized constructs. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed that ethanol solutions of 3 form floret-shaped constructs, while fibrillar architectures are formed in water. Furthermore, slow evaporation of methanol solutions of 3 produced crystals whose structure was revealed by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure shows that the hydrogen bonding interactions between pairs of 3 result in the formation of bilayers of 174?Å in length. The orientation of the clusters is not random in the crystal structure, such that the side-by-side aligned polyhedra are offset by 158 degrees. The material was characterized by FT-IR, NMR, high resolution mass spectrometry and dynamic light scattering. Circular dichroism studies indicated that self-assembly occurs at concentrations as low as 0.01 ?M. This represents the first demonstration of self-assembly of a carborane-based molecule in the absence of metals. The amino acid motif provides opportunities for the controlled synthesis of extended multimeric units with tunable properties and the potential for applications in biology, medicine and materials chemistry.

Stabilization of a high-spin three-coordinate Fe(iii) imidyl complex by radical delocalization.

Project description:High-spin, late transition metal imido complexes have attracted significant interest due to their group transfer reactivity and catalytic C-H activation of organic substrates. Reaction of a new two-coordinate iron complex, Fe{N( t Bu)Dipp}2 (1, Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), with mesitylazide (MesN3) afforded a three-coordinate Fe-imidyl complex, Fe{N( t Bu)Dipp}2([double bond, length as m-dash]NMes) (2). X-ray crystallographic characterization of single crystals of 2 showed a long Fe-N distance of 1.761(1) Å. Combined magnetic and spectroscopic (Mössbauer and X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy, XANES) characterization of 2 suggests that it has an S = 2 ground state comprising an S = 5/2 Fe(iii) center antiferromagnetically coupled to an S = 1/2 imidyl ligand. Reaction of 1 and 1-azidoadamantane (AdN3) generated a putative, transient Fe{N( t Bu)Dipp}2([double bond, length as m-dash]NAd) (3') complex that yielded an intramolecular C-H amination product, Fe{N( t Bu)Dipp}{κ2-N,N'-_N(CMe2CH2̲NHAd)Dipp} (3). Quantum mechanical calculations further confirmed the spectroscopic assignment of 2 and 3', as well as the differences in their stability and reactivity. Importantly, imidyl radical delocalization onto the mesityl ring significantly increased the stability of 2 and reduced its reactivity toward potential hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reagents. In contrast, quantum mechanical calculations of 3' revealed that the radical was solely localized on the imidyl N, leading to a high reactivity toward the proximal C-H bond of the N( t Bu)Dipp- ligand.
