A new synthetic route to chiral 3-aryl-5-ethyl-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorines

© 2018 Diastereoselective synthesis of racemic and enantiopure 3-aryl-5-ethyl-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorines, including those bearing phenolic hydroxyl groups in the exocyclic aromatic fragment, was implemented by the reaction of imines derived from (±)-and (R)-(−)-2-aminobutan-1-ol and (hydroxy)benzaldehydes with triethyl phosphite and trifluoroacetic acid, followed by the one-pot dealkylation of the intermediate esters

Phosphorylation of Betti Base with Bis(diethylamino)phosphoryl Chloride

© 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. The reaction of bis(diethylamino)phosphoryl chloride with N-Boc-protected 1-(α-aminobenzyl)-2- naphthol (Betti base) proceeded via O-phosphorylation of the phenolic OH group to form the target product as trifluoroacetate salt. The latter reacted with O,O-diethyl thiophosphorylisothiocyanate to give thiourea bearing a chiral Betti base fragment

Synthesis and in vitro antitumor activity of novel alkenyl derivatives of pyridoxine, bioisosteric analogs of feruloyl methane

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Two series of novel pyridoxine-based azaheterocyclic analogs of feruloyl methane (Dehydrozingerone, DZG) were synthesized, and their biological activity against a panel of tumor and normal cell lines was evaluated in vitro. The most active compounds possessed expressed cytotoxic activity, which was comparable to cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin and significantly higher than that of DZG, and a remarkable selectivity for the studied cancer cell lines as compared to the normal cells. The leading compound and DZG initiated arrest of the cell cycle in the G2/M phase, preventing normal division and further transition of daughter cells to the G0/G1 phase. Similar to DZG, but with higher efficiency, the leading compound was able to inhibit migration activity and, therefore, invasiveness of tumor cells. It also increased concentration of reactive oxygen species in tumor cells, induced depolarization of mitochondrial membranes and initiated apoptosis accompanied by disruption of integrity of cytoplasmic cell membranes. By contrast to DZG, the leading compound did not possess antioxidant properties. The obtained data make the described chemotype a promising starting point for the development of new anticancer agents

Excellent supercapacitor and sensor performance of robust cobalt phosphinate ferrocenyl organic framework materials achieved by intrinsic redox and structure properties

© 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. A new redox active coordination polymer [Co(H2O)2(Fc(PHOO)2)·2H2O]n (Fc = ferrocene) was synthesized by the diffusion method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Phosphinate fragments formed infinite chains connected through ferrocene fragments to 2D PCP associated with cobalt atoms. Additional strong hydrogen bonding via the participation of coordinated and lattice water molecules resulted in the formation of a 3D network. The polymer exhibited water-induced crystal-to-amorphous transformation with chromotropism, as confirmed by spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis, TGA and XRPD. The explosion of the amorphous phase [Co(Fc(PHOO)2)]n to form water vapor readily led to its conversion into the initial crystalline [Co(H2O)2(Fc(PHOO)2)·2H2O]n with a reverse change of color. The dehydrated form of the polymer selectively sorbed water and could be used as a material with the function of an express dehydrator. Moreover, a modified electrode could qualitatively determine the water content in the solvent at a concentration of 0.05%. Both hydrated and dehydrated forms were evaluated as electrode materials for supercapacitors. The [Co(Fc(PHOO)2)]n (dehydrated form) electrode exhibited high specific capacitance and excellent cycling stability. Its maximum specific capacitance was 2517 F g-1 at a current density of 2 A g-1, and the specific capacitance retention was about 90.1% after 1000 cycles

Chirality control in crystalline Ni(II) complexes of thiophosphorylated thioureas

© 2019 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Chirality control over the formation of Ni(II) complexes with chiral thiophosphorylated thioureas was achieved via breaking the symmetry of nickel coordination geometry by the introduction of the pyridine ligand, while centrosymmetric meso-complexes are formed from racemic ligands in case of square-planar nickel coordination. Centrosymmetric heterochiral arrangement is observed in crystals of ligands themselves through N-H...S hydrogen bonds in intermolecular dimers. Molecular homochirality in tetragonal pyramidal complexes is further transferred to supramolecular homochiral arrangement via key-lock steric interactions

Electrochemical properties and structure of multi-ferrocenyl phosphorus thioesters

© 2020 by the authors. The reaction of triferrocenylthiophosphite with elemental sulfur leads to triferrocenyltetrathiophosphate. The molecule of tetrathiophosphate adopts propeller-like all synclinal-conformation of the ferrocenyl fragments respective to the P=S bond. All ferrocenyl groups have nearly ideal eclipsed conformation of the cyclopentadienyl fragments. The Fc3S3P (1), Fc3S3P=O, (2) and Fc3S3P=S (3) demonstrate three reversible and well-separated ferrocenyl-based redox events. The electronic structures of 1-3 have been studied quantum-chemically; the energies and composition of frontier orbitals have been calculated
