The benzofuran (4), a ring-fused analogue of the potent antimitotic agent combretastatin A4 (1), has been prepared by a convergent route involving 5-endo-dig iodocyclization of o-hydroxytolan (5) as the key step. Compound (4), which has been characterized crystallographically as well as spectroscopically, is inactive as a tubulin-binding agent.

Fourteen analogues [compounds (8), (9) and (11)-(22)] of the powerful antimitotic agent allocolchicine (5) have been prepared and evaluated for their ability to prevent tubulin polymerization. The X-ray structure of one of the more active compounds, tricycle (20), is reported.

The crystal structures of two molecular clips derived from diethoxycarbonyl glycoluril were reported. Their unique binding behavior towards hydroquinone, which is different from Nolte's clips (high affinity for resorcinol), has been characterized through 1H NMR and IR. Job-plot analyses provide good evidence of a 1:1 stoichiometry for the complexes.Key words: crystal structure, molecular clips, binding properties

Commercially available (–)-colchicine (1) has been converted, via deacetylcolchiceine (4), into a mixture of 7-oxodeacetamidocolchicine (2) and 7-oxodeacetamidoisocolchicine (3). The X-ray structures and tubulin-binding properties of these title ketones are described.

The bromotropolones (4), (5) and (10) undergo palladium-mediated cross coupling with a wide range of organostannanes to produce alkenyl -, alkyl- and aryl-substituted tropolones . The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of the monoterpenes β- dolabrin (11),β- thujaplicin (12), 4-isopropyl-7-methoxytropolone (13) and β- thujaplicinol (14). Cross coupling of bromotropolones (4), (5) and (10) with various aryltrimethylstannanes or arylboronic acids has permitted the preparation of the bicyclic colchicine analogues (30)-(43) which have been tested for tubulin -binding activity. The X-ray crystal structure of the most active of these systems, compound (38), is reported.

The X-ray crystal structure determinations of four new oligomeric cyclophane esters are reported. They are: (3a) monomeric 1,4-xylylene (1,4-phenylene)diacetate, P21/n (No. 14), a 5·959(5), b 15·795(5), c 8·094(5) Å, β 108·060(5)°, V 724·3(8) Å3 , Z 2, R1(2σ) 0·0522, wR2 0·125; (3b) monomeric 1,4-xylylene (1,4-phenylene)dipropionate, P21/c (No. 14), a 5·878(1), b 14·642(2), c 18·909(2) Å, β 96·00(10)°, V 1618·5(4) Å3 , Z 4, R1(2σ) 0·053, wR2 0·165; (3c) dimeric 1,4-xylylene (1,4-phenylene)diacetate, P-1 (No. 2), a 14·633(2), b 17·529(2), c 5·736(1) Å, α 98·30(10), β 90·60(10), γ 95·40(10)°, V 1449·0(4) Å3, Z 2, R1(2σ) 0·057, wR2 0·158; (3d) dimeric 1,4-xylylene (1,4-phenylene)dipropionate, P21/a (No. 14), a 8·145(1), b 11·379(2), c 17·401(2) Å, β 101·40(10)°, V 1580·9(4) Å3, Z 4, R1(2σ) 0·034, wR2 0·095. Monomeric cyclophanes (3a,b) exhibit a well defined cleft, while dimeric (3c,d) adopt a flat conformation devoid of cavities. Binding properties were determined by 1H n.m.r. titrations in CDCl3 at T = 296 K. Complexation experiments with quaternary ammonium salts revealed that host (3c) possesses appreciable binding ability toward N-methylpyridinium (–ΔG° = 5·9 kJ mol-1), tetramethylammonium (–ΔG° = 8·8 kJ mol-1) and acetylcholine (–ΔG° = 7·5 kJ mol-1) cations, despite its lack of a preorganized cavity.

A novel complex of nickel(II) picrate (pic) with the V-shaped ligand 2, 6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl) pyridine (bbp) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductivity, and IR and UV/Vis spectral measurements. The crystal structure of the nickel(II) complex ([Ni(bbp)2](pic)2·2DMF) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ni(II) cation is bonded to two bbp ligands through six nitrogen atoms, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry. The DNA-binding properties of the nickel(II) complex were investigated by electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra and by viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that the nickel(II) complex binds to DNA in an intercalation mode.
