In this note, we report the discovery of a novel pyridinium chlorochroamte-catalyzed process in which an α-bromomethyl-tetrahydrofuran bond was oxidatively cleaved to give a γ-lactone functionality. The title compound was synthesized from a C15 polybrominated acetogenin compound, isolated from the marine sponge Mycale rotalis, by benzoylation followed by pyridinium chlorochromate-catalyzed oxidation. This new degraded derivative was fully characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), EIMS (Electron impact mass spectrometry) and HRESIMS (High-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry).

Functional adamantane derivatives are interesting as active pharmaceutical ingredients, building blocks for supramolecular ensembles, and ligands in light of the coordination chemistry of functional materials. In this communication, synthesis of two isomeric 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazolyl)adamantanes by the reaction of 1,3-dibromoadamantane with 1,2,4-triazole in the absence of solvent is reported. The products, namely 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)adamantane and 1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-3-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)adamantane were separated by column chromatography and identified by NMR and mass-spectrometry.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and structural characterization of a complex with extended aromaticity based on a naphthalene-bridged Schiff base complex with two metal binding pockets.

Herein, we report the synthesis and structural characterization of a complex with extended aromaticity based on a naphthalene-bridged Schiff base complex with two metal binding pockets. In a first step, the Zn(II) complex (ZnL), {6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[naphthalene-2,3-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}a-pyridylzinc(II) was isolated followed by refluxing with lanthanum(III) nitrate to produce the heterobimetallic complex {ZnL[La(NO3)3·H2O]}. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown by vapor diffusion of THF into a pyridine solution of the complex. The monoclinic unit cell (P21/n) is commensurately modulated along the c-axis direction and contains four crystallographically independent molecules with pseudo-translational symmetry being broken by slightly differing orientations of included pyridine and THF solvate molecules. The zinc atom adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry and sits slightly above the ligand plane, whereas the lanthanum atom adopts an all-face capped trigonal prismatic geometry and sits below the ligand plane. Structural characterization of this diamagnetic complex lays the groundwork for applying these synthetic techniques to the near-infrared emitting lanthanides for practical application. Full article

A cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)-based macrocycle bearing two benzyl and two 2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl pendent arms was synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The macrocycle crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with the asymmetric unit containing one-half of the molecule. The structure is stabilized by hydrogen-bonding which exists between the phenolic protons and the nitrogen atoms of the macrocyclic ring. The presence of this hydrogen bonding is observed in the 1H-NMR due to the deshielded nature of the phenolic OH peak (δ 9.99). Cyclic voltammetry of the ligand revealed a single quasi-reversible peak at −0.58 V (Epc = −0.48 V and Epa = −0.68 V), which is due to the electrochemical oxidation of the phenol to the phenoxyl radical.

This redox product was crystallized and was characterized by 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis (EA), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopic data are in agreement with the crystal structure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed as a means for comparison to experimental data and the computational results are in agreement with those obtained experimentally.
