Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of Two New Cyclic Tetraaza Ligands
by María Hechavarría Fonseca, Thomas Hjelmgaard and Burkhard König
Molecules 2003, 8(5), 453-458; https://doi.org/10.3390/80500453 - 31 May 2003

Abstract
Two new chiral cyclic tetraaza ligands were synthesized and characterized. Their catalytic activity was tested in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The expected secondary alcohol was obtained in moderate yields, but with very low enantioselectivity. Full article

Abstract
The synthesis of steroidal heterocycles containing the pyrazole and pyrimidine ring fused to the 16,17-position of the steroid nucleus is reported. Androstenolone acetate (1) reacted with carbon disulfide, iodomethane and sodium hydride to furnish 3β-acetoxy-16-[bis(methylthio)methylene]-5-androst-5-en-17-one (2). The reactions of 2 with hydrazine hydrate [...] Read more.
The synthesis of steroidal heterocycles containing the pyrazole and pyrimidine ring fused to the 16,17-position of the steroid nucleus is reported. Androstenolone acetate (1) reacted with carbon disulfide, iodomethane and sodium hydride to furnish 3β-acetoxy-16-[bis(methylthio)methylene]-5-androst-5-en-17-one (2). The reactions of 2 with hydrazine hydrate and methylhydrazine afforded the 5’-methylthio- pyrazolo[4’,3’:16,17]androst-5-en-3β-ols 3a and 3b, respectively. Treatment of 2 with amidinium, guanidinium, and isothiuronium salts in the presence of sodium methoxide yielded the 6’-methoxy-pyrimido[5’,4’:16,17]androst-5-en-3β-ols (4a-4e). Full article

Abstract
The results of a theoretical study on the interaction of o-tetrafluorophenylene mercury with ethylene and acetylene are reported.

The results of a theoretical study on the interaction of o-tetrafluorophenylene mercury with ethylene and acetylene are reported. The AM1 molecular orbital semiempirical method is applied through a complete optimization procedure without any restrictions to find the optimal equilibrium geometries. The comparative capabilities of ethylene and acetylene molecules to form stable complexes with o-tetrafluorophenylene mercury are analyzed and their corresponding bonding features are discussed. Ethylene seems to be capable of forming a molecular complex while acetylene is predicted to be incapable of doing so. Full article

Synthesis and Structure of bis(Dibutyldithiocarbamate)zinc(II): Zn2[(n-Bu)2NCSS]4

Abstract
The binuclear zinc (II) complex Zn2[(n-Bu)2NCSS]4 has been prepared, and its crystal and molecular structure have been determined by x-ray diffraction. The crystal is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a=23.329(3)Å, b=17.090(2)Å, c=16.115(2)Å, α =90°, β=127.560(10)°, γ=90°, z=4, V=5039.1(11)Å3, F(000)=2016, R=0.0450, and [...] Read more.
The binuclear zinc (II) complex Zn2[(n-Bu)2NCSS]4 has been prepared, and its crystal and molecular structure have been determined by x-ray diffraction. The crystal is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a=23.329(3)Å, b=17.090(2)Å, c=16.115(2)Å, α =90°, β=127.560(10)°, γ=90°, z=4, V=5039.1(11)Å3, F(000)=2016, R=0.0450, and Rw=0.1192. The crystal structure shows that two S-N-S atom chains, belonging to the different dibutyldithiocarbamate ligands, bridge two zinc (II) ions. Each zinc (II) ion coordinates to four S atoms. The coordination geometry around the zinc (II) is a tetrahedron, however, the coordination sphere of two zinc ions in the dimer is best described as a distorted octagon. The X-ray photoelectron spectra, IR and UV data have been used to study the structure and spectra properties of the complex. Full article

The novel 2-aryl-3a,4,12,12a-tetrahydropyrrolo[3',4':4,3]-pyridazino[6,1-b]-quinazoline-1,3,6-triones (6a–d), 2-aryl-10-oxopyridazino[6,1-b]-quinazoline-3-thio-carboxamides (10a–d) and 2-aryl-3-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyridazino[6,1-b]quinazolin-10-ones (12a–d) were synthesized via a new, facile one step route involving the reactions of the zwitterion 4, formed in situ, with a variety of N-arylmaleimides 5, 3-aryl-2-cyano-thioacrylamides 8 and ω-nitrostyrenes 11. Dehydrogenation of the tetrahydro derivatives 6a–d and 12a–d in nitrobenzene resulted in the formation of 2-arylpyrrolo[3',4':4,3]-pyridazino[6,1-b]quinazoline-1,3,6-triones (7a–d) and 2-aryl-3-nitropyridazino[6,1-b]quinazolin-10-ones (13a–d), respectively. The structures of the products were confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data. Full article
