Catalyst-free reductive cyclization of bis(2-aminophenyl) disulfide with CO₂ in the presence of BH₃NH₃ to synthesize 2-unsubstituted benzothiazole derivatives.

ABSTRACT: An efficient and catalyst-free methodology for the reductive cyclization of various disulfides using BH₃NH₃ as a reductant and CO₂ as a C1 resource was developed. The desired 2-unsubstituted benzothiazole derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields. Moreover, mechanism investigation demonstrated that BH₃NH₃ played an important role in the formation of benzothiazole. As a reducing agent, BH₃NH₃ reduced CO₂ and cleaved the S-S bond of the disulfide efficiently. In addition, the N-H bond of the amino group was also activated by BH₃NH₃. To the best of our knowledge, this is an unprecedented catalyst-free protocol for the synthesis of 2-unsubstituted benzothiazole from bis(2-aminophenyl) disulfide and CO₂.

Nitroalkene reduction in deep eutectic solvents promoted by BH3NH3.

Project description:Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have gained attention as green and safe as well as economically and environmentally sustainable alternative to the traditional organic solvents. Here, we report the combination of an atom-economic, very convenient and inexpensive reagent, such as BH3NH3, with bio-based eutectic mixtures as biorenewable solvents in the synthesis of nitroalkanes, valuable precursors of amines. A variety of nitrostyrenes and alkyl-substituted nitroalkenes, including α- and β-substituted nitroolefins, were chemoselectively reduced to the nitroalkanes, with an atom economy-oriented, simple and convenient experimental procedure. A reliable and easily reproducible protocol to isolate the product without the use of any organic solvent was established, and the recyclability of the DES mixture was successfully investigated.

Ammonia Borane, NH3 BH3 : A Threshold Photoelectron-Photoion Coincidence Study of a Potential Hydrogen-Storage Material.

Project description:We have investigated the photoionization of ammonia borane (AB) and determined adiabatic ionization energy to be 9.26±0.03 eV for the X+ 2 E←X 1 A1 transition. Although the threshold photoelectron spectrum appears at first glance to be similar to the one of the isosteric ethane, the electronic situation differs markedly, due to different orbital energies. In addition, an appearance energy AE0K (NH3 BH3 , NH3 BH2 + )= 10.00±0.03 eV has been determined, corresponding to the loss of a hydrogen atom at the BH3 -site. From the data, a 0 K bond dissociation energy for the B-H bond in the cation of 71.5±3 kJ mol-1 was derived, whereas the one in the neutral compound has been estimated to be 419±10 kJ mol-1 .

2-(4'-Aminophenyl)benzothiazole Labeled with 99mTc-Cyclopentadienyl for Imaging β-Amyloid Plaques.

Project description:The development of a 99mTc-radiotracer for imaging of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is strongly anticipated to provide a low cost and broadly accessible diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Within this framework, 2-(4'-aminophenyl)benzothiazole, known to display affinity and specificity for Aβ plaques, has been joined to the tricarbonyl fac-[M(CO)3]+ (M = Re(I), 99mTc(I)) core through the cyclopentadienyl moiety to yield stable, neutral, and lipophilic complexes (Re-1 and 99mTc-1, respectively). The Re-1 complex was completely characterized with spectroscopic methods and was shown to selectively stain Aβ plaques on sections of human AD brain tissue. The 99mTc-1 complex displayed satisfactory initial brain uptake (0.53% ID/g at 2 min) and in vivo stability in healthy mice, while in transgenic 5xFAD mice, models for AD, a notable retention in the brain was noted (1.94% ID/g at 90 min). The results are encouraging and contribute to the effort of developing a SPECT amyloid imaging agent.

Mechanochemical approach to synthesize citric acid-soluble fertilizer of dittmarite (NH4MgPO4·H2O) from talc/NH4H2PO4 mixture.

Project description:In this study, a citric acid-soluble fertilizer of dittmarite (NH4MgPO4·H2O) was synthesized by balling talc with NH4H2PO4. The effects of ball milling speed and milling time on the dissolution rates of N, P and Mg in deionized water and 2% citric acid were explored. Characterization technologies such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to test the prepared samples. In water, the prepared dittmarite was changed into struvite (NH4MgPO4·6H2O) with almost no N, P or Mg release, while the dissolution rates of nutrient elements reached almost 100% in 2% citric acid. The proposed work presented a facile and environmentally friendly method to produce CASF with high agricultural and ecological value.

Reductive cyanation of organic chlorides using CO2 and NH3 via Triphos-Ni(I) species.

Project description:Cyano-containing compounds constitute important pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and organic materials. Traditional cyanation methods often rely on the use of toxic metal cyanides which have serious disposal, storage and transportation issues. Therefore, there is an increasing need to develop general and efficient catalytic methods for cyanide-free production of nitriles. Here we report the reductive cyanation of organic chlorides using CO2/NH3 as the electrophilic CN source. The use of tridentate phosphine ligand Triphos allows for the nickel-catalyzed cyanation of a broad array of aryl and aliphatic chlorides to produce the desired nitrile products in good yields, and with excellent functional group tolerance. Cheap and bench-stable urea was also shown as suitable CN source, suggesting promising application potential. Mechanistic studies imply that Triphos-Ni(I) species are responsible for the reductive C-C coupling approach involving isocyanate intermediates. This method expands the application potential of reductive cyanation in the synthesis of functionalized nitrile compounds under cyanide-free conditions, which is valuable for safe synthesis of (isotope-labeled) drugs.

Iridium-catalyzed reductive nitro-Mannich cyclization.

Project description:A new chemoselective reductive nitro-Mannich cyclization reaction sequence of nitroalkyl-tethered lactams has been developed. Relying on the rapid and chemoselective iridium(I)-catalyzed reduction of lactams to the corresponding enamine, subsequent nitro-Mannich cyclization of tethered nitroalkyl functionality provides direct access to important alkaloid natural-product-like structures in yields up to 81 % and in diastereoselectivities that are typically good to excellent. An in-depth understanding of the reaction mechanism has been gained through NMR studies and characterization of reaction intermediates. The new methodology has been applied to the total synthesis of (±)-epi-epiquinamide in four steps.

Reduction of the Diazo Functionality of α-Diazocarbonyl Compounds into a Methylene Group by NH3BH3 or NaBH4 Catalyzed by Au Nanoparticles.

Project description:Supported Au nanoparticles on TiO2 (1 mol%) are capable of catalyzing the reduction of the carbene-like diazo functionality of α-diazocarbonyl compounds into a methylene group [C=(N2) → CH2] by NH3BH3 or NaBH4 in methanol as solvent. The Au-catalyzed reduction that occurs within a few minutes at room temperature formally requires one hydride equivalent (B-H) and one proton that originates from the protic solvent. This pathway is in contrast to the Pt/CeO2-catalyzed reaction of α-diazocarbonyl compounds with NH3BH3 in methanol, which leads to the corresponding hydrazones instead. Under our stoichiometric Au-catalyzed reaction conditions, the ketone-type carbonyls remain intact, which is in contrast to the uncatalyzed conditions where they are selectively reduced by the boron hydride reagent. It is proposed that the transformation occurs via the formation of chemisorbed carbenes on Au nanoparticles, having proximally activated the boron hydride reagent. This protocol is the first general example of catalytic transfer hydrogenation of the carbene-like α -ketodiazo functionality.

Wet Mechanical Route To Synthesize Morphology-Controlled NH4MnPO4·H2O and Its Conversion Reaction into LiMnPO4.

Project description:A mechanical route using a grinding apparatus such as a planetary ball mill is a simple and scalable method to produce powder materials. However, the control of the particle shapes is difficult. In this paper, we report a wet mechanical process in water to synthesize NH4MnPO4·H2O (AmMnP) with various shapes (plates, flakes, rods, and nanoparticles). This process involves planetary ball milling of inexpensive raw materials (NH4H2PO4 and MnCO3) at room temperature. Morphology-controlled AmMnP particles can be obtained by only adjusting the milling conditions such as milling time, ball size, and centrifugal acceleration. Furthermore, the conversion of AmMnP into LiMnPO4 with two different approaches (solid-state and hydrothermal reactions) has been investigated to evaluate its future applicability as a cathode for lithium-ion batteries. As a particle synthesis with a unique morphology can be attained based on a dissolution-precipitation mechanism in a solution via a suitable combination of raw materials, the study results will promote wet mechanical processes to be widely used as classic but advanced particle synthesis method.

Reductive α-borylation of α,β-unsaturated esters using NHC-BH3 activated by I2 as a metal-free route to α-boryl esters.

Project description:Useful α-boryl esters can be synthesized in one step from α,β-unsaturated esters using just a simple to access NHC-BH3 (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) and catalytic I2. The scope of this reductive α-borylation methodology is excellent and includes a range of alkyl, aryl substituted and cyclic and acyclic α,β-unsaturated esters. Mechanistic studies involving reductive borylation of a cyclic α,β-unsaturated ester with NHC-BD3/I2 indicated that concerted hydroboration of the alkene moiety in the α,β-unsaturated ester proceeds instead of a stepwise process involving initial 1,4-hydroboration; this is in contrast to the recently reported reductive α-silylation. The BH2(NHC) unit can be transformed into electrophilic BX2(NHC) moieties (X = halide) and the ester moiety can be reduced to the alcohol with the borane unit remaining intact to form β-boryl alcohols. The use of a chiral auxiliary, 8-phenylmenthyl ester, also enables effective stereo-control of the newly formed C-B bond. Combined two step ester reduction/borane oxidation forms diols, including excellent e.e. (97%) for the formation of S-3-phenylpropane-1,2-diol. This work represents a simple transition metal free route to form bench stable α-boryl esters from inexpensive starting materials.

Oxidative and reductive cyclization in stiff dithienylethenes.

Project description:The electrochemical behavior of stiff dithienylethenes, undergoing double bond isomerization in addition to ring-closure, has been investigated. Electrochromism was observed in almost all cases, with the major pathway being the oxidatively induced cyclization of the open isomers. The influence of the ring size (to lock the reactive antiparallel conformation) as well as substituents (to modulate the redox potential) on the electrocyclization was examined. In the series of derivatives with 6-membered rings, both the E- and the Z-isomer convert to the closed isomer, whereas for the 7-membered rings no cyclization from the E-isomer was observed. For both stiff and normal dithienylethenes bearing benzonitrile substituents an additional and rare reductive electrocyclization was observed. The mechanism underlying both observed electrocyclization pathways has been elucidated.
