The electrochemical oxidation of a sacrificial metal anode (M = Zn, Cd, Cu) in an acetonitrile solution of 2-hydroxy-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone, lapachol, C15H14O3 (=HL) gives ML2. The results are in keeping with earlier work on direct electrochemical synthesis in related systems. Adducts with 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine (tmen) have also been prepared. The structure of the 2,2′-bipyridine adduct of Cu(lapacholate)2 has been established by X-ray crystallography. The parameters are triclinic, space group [Formula: see text], a = 12.748(59) Å, b = 13.859(49) Å, c = 11.770(59) Å, α = 108.30(4)°, β = 108.08(3)°, γ = 68.94(3)°, Z = 2, R = 0.059 for 2256 unique reflections. The copper atom is in a distorted CuN2O2O2′ environment. The mechanism of the formation of this Cu(lapacholate)2 is discussed. Keywords: electrochemical synthesis, lapachol, X-ray crystallography, copper(II) complex.

The electrochemical oxidation of a metallic sacrificial anode (M = Zn, Cd, Sn, In, Cu) in a non-aqueous solution of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (= HL) yields the MLn complexes (M = Zn, Cd, Sn, Cu, n = 2; M = In, n = 3). Adducts of the type ML2•B (M = Zn, Cd, B = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen); M = Cu, B = triphenylphosphine) were obtained by the reaction between the appropriate ligand (B) and the previously synthesized complexes (M = Zn, Cd), or by arranging for the initial electrolytic phase to include the base (M = Cu). The tin(II) compound shows the typical reactions of such low oxidation state species by reacting with iodine and ortho-quinones by oxidative addition. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and by IR, 1H and 13C nmr spectroscopy. The structure of CdL2•tmen was determined by X-ray crystallography, which identified the CdO4N2 kernel, and partial electron delocalization within the pyronate ring. Keywords: electrochemical synthesis, cadmium complexes, zinc complexes, tin(II) oxidation, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone.

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) thiolates, M(SR)2, can be prepared in high yield by the electrochemical oxidation of a metal anode in an acetonitrile or acetone solution of RSH (R = C6H5, o-CH3C6H4, 2-C10H7, 2,3,4,5-C6F4H; not all combinations). When 2,2-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline (=L) is added to the electrolyte phase, the products are the adducts M(SR)2L2. In the case of Co(SC6H5)2(phen)2, aerial oxidation leads to the formation of the cobalt(III) cation [Co(SC6H5)2(phen)2]+, isolated as the perchlorate salt. X-ray crystallographic analysis showed that this cation has a cis-CoS2(N2)2 kernel.

In a systematic search for supramolecular complexes involving all combinations of the cyclic polyethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C 5), 18-crown-6 (18C 6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB -18C6), and the geminal di- or trisulfones H2C(SO 2Me)2, H2C (SO2Et)2 and HC (SO2Me)3-n (SO2Et)n (n = 0 -3 ) , only the following four complexes could be isolated and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy: [(12C4){H2C (SO2Et)2}2] (3), [(18C6){H2C (S O2Me)2}] (4), [(DB -18C 6){H2C (SO2Et)2}] (5) and [(D B -18C 6)2{HC (SO2Me )(SO2Et)2}3] (6). The structure of 3 (triclinic, space group P1̄) consists of crystallographically centrosymmetric formula units, in which the disulfone molecules are bonded on each side of the ring by two C -H ··· O(crown) interactions originating from the central methylene group (H···O 213 pm) and from the methylene group of one EtSO2 moiety ( H ··· O 237 pm). Formula units related by translation are connected into parallel strands by a third type of reciprocal C -H ···O bond (H ···O 232 pm) between the second H atom of the central methylene group and a sulfonyl oxygen atom of the adjacent unit. The structure of 4 (monoclinic, space group C2/c) showed severe disorder of the crown ether and could not be refined satisfactorily. Compounds 5 and 6 crystallized as long and extremely thin fibres, indicative of linear-polymeric supramolecular structures; single crystals for X-ray crystallography were not available.

Reaction of a series of diazonium salts with a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane affords the 3-({5,5-dimethyl-3-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-imidazolidinyl}methyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]imidazolidines (1a–1f) in excellent yield. The products have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopic analysis, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray crystal structure of the p-methoxycarbonyl derivative (1c) establishes without question the connectivity of these novel molecules, which can be described as linear bicyclic oligomers with two imidazolidinyl groups linked together by a one-carbon spacer. This is indeed a rare molecular building block. The molecular structure is corroborated by 1H and 13C NMR data, which correlates with the previously published data of compounds of types 5 and 6 derived from 1,3-propanediamine. The triazene moieties in the crystal of 1c display significant π conjugation, which gives the N—N bond a significant degree of double-bond character. This in turn causes restricted rotation around the N—N bond, which leads to considerable broadening of signals in both the 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The molecular ion of the p-cyanophenyl derivative (1b) was observed using electrospray mass spectrometry (ES + Na). The mechanism of formation of molecules of type 1 is proposed to involve diazonium ion trapping of the previously unreported bisimidazolidinyl methane (13).Key words: triazene, bistriazene, imidazolidine, synthesis, X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy.

The tropical tree Calophyllum brasiliense (Clusiaceae) grows in the rain forests from Brazil to Mexico. Its leaves, as well as those of other Calophyllum species, are rich sources of chromanone acids, such as apetalic acid, isoapetalic acid, and their derivatives. Apetalic acid has shown significant antimycobacterial activity. The biological activity of apetalic acid has been related to the configuration of three asymmetric centers and the stereochemistry of the molecule; however, the C-19 configuration in the acidic side chain has not been fully resolved. For this reason, the unequivocal determination of the absolute configuration by means of X-ray crystallography in a sample of unique homogeneous apetalic acid stereoisomer was the most important point to start this study. We prepared some chiral amides using the carboxyl group. We determined the C-19 stereochemistry of apetalic acid, and its specific chiral derivatives, using NMR, X-ray diffraction methods, and molecular mechanics. Finally, we observed that steric hindrance in the side chain of apetalic acid leads to restriction of rotation around the pivotal link C-10 and C-19 establishing chiral centers at C2(R), C3(S), and C19(R). We were able to separate derivatives of these two high-rotatory-barrier conformers of apetalic acid by forming diastereoisomeric amides with phenylglycine methyl ester having a chiral center at C-2’. Our results allowed the conclusion of the existence of atropisomerism in the apetalic acid molecule.

The complexes Re(CO)5ClO4, Re(CO)5PO2F2, L2(CO)3Re(OClO3) and L2(CO)3Re(PO2F2), where L2 = 2,2?-bipyridyl (bpy), have been synthesized by bromide abstraction reactions from the respective rhenium carbonyl bromide precursors. The complexes were characterized by infrared and mass spectroscopy. The crystal structure of (bpy)(CO)3Re(PO2F2) has been determined from X-ray diffraction data by the heavy-atom technique. The crystals are triclinic, space group Pī with a 8.620(3), b 15.912(5), c 6.466(3) Ǻ, α 102.08(8), β 83.29(8), γ 95.08(4) and Z 2. The structure has been refined by full-matrix least-squares from 2829 reflections to R = 0.084, Rw = 0.088. The coordination geometry about rhenium is that of a distorted octahedron. Difluorophosphate coordinates to the metal centre by one of its oxygen atoms. Formation of the difluorophosphate by hydrolysis of hexafluorophosphate was shown by 31P n.m.r. spectra.

The use of 1H NMR spectroscopy, in tandem with X-ray crystallography, has cast light on the conformation of the 1,6-disulfide-bridged derivatives of d-gluco-, d-manno-, d-allo-, d-galacto-, and d-talo-pyranose. A similar investigation was performed on the thiosulfinate derived from the d-gluco disulfide. Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for (1S,5S,6S,7S,8R)-6,7,8-tribenzoyloxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, (1S,5S,6S,7R,8R)-6,7,8-tribenzoyloxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, and (1S,2S,5S,6S,7S,8R)-6,7,8-triacetoxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane 2-oxide.

Eight ester and ether derivatives of propargyl alcohol with varying electron demand were structurally characterised using low temperature X-ray crystallography, these were combined with seven derivatives obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database. Variable oxygen probe analysis of these derivatives provided evidence that the ethynyl substituent is a relatively weak π-electron donor, and is a slightly less effective donor than the C–C bond of an ethyl substituent.
