Zusammenfassung In dieser Arbeit wurde das Konzept der Nucleophil-selektiven Kreuzkupplung entwickelt und auf Thiophen, welches ein klassischer Baustein für halbleitende Polymere ist, angewendet. Zwei Metallfunktionalitäten unterschiedlicher Reaktivität wurden an den Heteroaromaten angebracht - eine Zinn-Gruppe und ein Borester. Diese neue Verbindung ermöglichte Nucleophil-selektive Kreuzkupplungsreaktionen in hohen Ausbeuten: Im ersten Schritt läuft die Stille-Reaktion ab, während im zweiten Schritt nach der Zugabe eines weiteren Elektrophils, Wasser und einer Base die Suzuki-Kreuzkupplung stattfindet. Die Vielseitigkeit der Reaktion wurde an Hand von elektronenneutralen, elektronenreichen und elektronenarmen Elektrophilen gezeigt. Polymerisation Eine Syntheseroute zu Stannolmonomeren des AA-Typs wurde entwickelt und das erste stannolhaltige halbleitende Polymer wurde hergestellt. Für die Polymerisation wurde die Stille- Kreuzkupplung verwendet, wobei das Problem, dass der Stannolring unter diesen Reaktionsbedingungen reagieren könnte, durch sterische Abschirmung des Stannolrings verhindert wurde. Dies führte zu einer Nucleophil-selektiven Kreuzkupplung, die zwischen zwei Zinnfunktionalitäten unterscheiden kann. Der Erfolg der Polymerisation wurde durch NMR- Spektroskopie, MALDI Massenspektrometrie, GPC und UV/Vis Messungen bestätigt. Die Stannole haben sich als Heterocyclen mit einem hohen Potential für halbleitende Polymere herausgestellt, da sie starke bathochrome Verschiebungen in den Absorptionsspektren zeigen. Ein Stannolmonomer vom AB-Typ wurde für eine Kettenwachstumspolymerisation hergestellt und polymerisiert. Das erhaltene Polymer war schwerlöslich und eine Untersuchung der Kinetik war nicht möglich. Wichtige Schritte auf dem Weg zum ersten Polymer mit einem antiaromatischen Borol wurden unternommen. Hierfür wurde ein stark abgeschirmtes Zirconacyclopentadien regioselektiv hergestellt. Abstract The concept of nucleophile selective cross-coupling reactions was developed for thiophene, a motif that is typically used in semiconducting polymers. Two metal functional groups of different reactivity were attached to the heteroaromatic compound, a stannyl group and a boronic ester. This new compound allowed high yielding, fully nucleophile selective cross-coupling reactions, where the Stille reaction occurs first, and in a second step, after adding another electrophile, water and a base, the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction takes place. The versatility of the reaction was shown with electron rich, electron neutral and electron poor electrophiles. Polymerization A synthetic route to AA-type stannole monomers was developed, and the first stannole containing semiconducting polymer was synthesized. The Stille cross-coupling reaction was used for the polymerization, and the problem that the stannole ring could react under these conditions was eliminated by steric shielding of the stannole ring. This led to nucleophile selective cross-coupling reactions that distinguish between two stannyl functionalities. The success of the polymerization was proved by NMR spectroscopy, MALDI spectrometry, GPC and UV/Vis measurements. The stannoles have a high potential as heterocycles for semiconducting polymers, as they caused strong bathochromic shifts in the absorption spectra. An AB-type stannole monomer for a polymerization that may proceed via a chain-growth mechanism was developed and polymerized. The obtained polymer was poorly soluble and an investigation of the kinetics was impossible. Major steps on the way to the first polymer containing an antiaromatic borole were undertaken. For this purpose, the regioselective formation of a highly shielded zirconacyclopentadiene was achieved.

  • Sulfur Bonded Unsymmetrical Borole Complexes: Synthetic, Spectroscopic and Biocidal Aspects
    SULFUR BONDED UNSYMMETRICAL BOROLE COMPLEXES: SYNTHETIC, SPECTROSCOPIC AND BIOCIDAL ASPECTS Taruna Pandey1, V. P. Singh2 and R. V. Singh1* 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur-302004, India 2 DSME, S.C.E.R.T., Varun Marg, Defence Colony, New Delhi-110024, India ABSTRACT Synthesis, characterization and biological activities of some of the unsymmetrical borole complexes containing B-S and B<-N bonds are described. The sulfur containing conjugated bases were prepared by the condensation of caibonyl compounds with thiosemicarbazide. The resulting complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determinations and spectral studies including IR, Ή NMR, "Β NMR and ,3C NMR. The spectroscopic results showed that the conjugated bases behave in a bidentate fashion, whereas, the complexes display a tetracoordinated environment around the boron atom as steriochemically active lone pair is also included in the coordinated sphere. The conjugated bases and their respective boron complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial properties. INTRODUCTION Recently, few references on bidentate ligands coordinated to boron through the azomethine nitrogen and the thiolo sulfur have been published in the literature1·2. These compounds are interesting in many respects. Some have got a number of applications in industry, biology and agriculture. Industrial applications of coordination compounds of boron have remained fairly limited. Boron analogues of carboxylic acids and peptides have been shown to possess interesting biological activities in particular as serine protease inhibitors3. Use of boron-nitrogen compound in neutron capture therapy of brain tumors have also been investigated4. Several organoboranes find promising applications in the synthesis of insect pheromones5.

Singh* Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur 302004, India. ABSTRACT Biochemical aspects, synthesis and characterization of some boron complexes of 2-hydroxy-N- phenylbenzamide (HOPhBenz) and its semicarbazone (HOPhBenz.SCZH) and thiosemicarbazone (HOPhBenz.TSCZH) are described. These derivatives were prepared by the reactions of 2-isopropoxy-4- methyl- 1,3,2-dioxaborolane, and 2-isopropoxy-4-methyl- 1,3,2-dioxaborinane with 2-hydroxy-N-phenyl- benzamide, 1-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)-l-N-phenylamino]hydrazinecarboxamide (HOPhBenz.SCZH), and 1-[(2- hydroxyphenyl)-l-N-phenylamino]hydrazinecarbothioamide(HOPhBenz.YSCZH) in a 1:1 molar ratio. In order to assess the increase of the inhibitor potency, (HOPhBenz), (HOPhBenz.SCZH), (HOPhBenz. TSCZH) and their boron complexes have been tested in vitro against a number of pathogenic fungi and bacteria at different concentrations and were found to possess remarkable fungicidal and bactericidal properties. The testicular sperm density, testicular sperm morphology, sperm motility, density of cauda epididymal spermatozoa and fertility in mating trials and biochemical parameters of reproductive organs are discussed. INTRODUCTION Boron chemistry has continued to provide the most novel developments in the field of coordination chemistry. Inorganic chemistry of boron is much more diverse and complex than that of any other element in the Periodic Table and this is due to the elucidation of tremendous range of bondin intractions. Several organoboranes find promising applications in the synthesis of insect pheromones'. Boron azomethine complexes of various ligands have been found to possess conspicuous biocidal activity2.

These remarkable applications commonly benefit from the electron-deficient nature of tricoordinate boron, i.e., its empty p- orbital can accommodate a lone pair of electrons or participate in conjugation of extended π-systems. Therefore, approaches to enhance the Lewis acidity of the boron center are desirable, and different strategies have been introduced with this aim, including (1) installation of electron withdrawing pendant groups such as pentafluorophenyl groups; (2) generation of cationic borenium species and (3) incorporation of tricoordinate boron into anti-aromatic systems such as borole derivatives. Recently, much effort has been directed to the preparation of the so- called “Frustrated Lewis Pair” (FLP) and the application of their unquenched relativity for catalytic transformations. However, chiral versions of highly Lewis acidic organoboranes remain scarce. On the other hand, planar chiral ferrocenes have proven to provide rigid frameworks for transition metal ligands such as ii phosphines and amines, which have been successfully applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes, ketones and other processes.

  • Unsymmetrical Borole Complexes of Monobasic Bidentate Benzothiazolines
    UNSYMMETRICAL BOROLE COMPLEXES OF MONOBASIC BIDENTATE BENZOTHIAZOLINES Taruna Pandey and R. V. Singh* Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur - 302004, India ABSTRACT The synthetic spectroscopic and biological studies of some unsymmetrical borole complexes derived from heterocyclic ketones and 2-mercaptoaniline have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis molecular weight determinations and spectral studies including IR, !H NMR, 13C NMR and nB NMR. The equimolar reaction between unsymmetrical borole and these benzothiazolines have produced [B(C3H<;02) (N^S)] and [B^HgO^ (N°S)] type of boron complexes. The spectroscopic results show that the benzothiazolines behave in a monobasic bidentate fashion rendering the non-metal tetracoordinated. The benzothiazolines and their respective non-metal complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial properties. INTRODUCTION Boron and its compounds have attracted the attention of a large number of chemists mainly because of the tremendous range of structural peculiarities and subtle types of bonding. Boron shows an astonishing number of structural polymorphs. Further, the synthetic flexibility of boron, which has a wide range of 'applications in various disciplines, has attracted a number of investigators in the field. Arene boronic acids show antiserotonin activity1. The toxicity to mice of a number of triarylboranes and their amine complexes has been investigated2. Recently, interest has also been sustained in the structural aspects of compounds containing boron - nitrogen bonds3"7. Benzothiazolines, which are biologically very active, constitute an important class of nitrogen and sulphur donor ligands8"9. The inherent biological potential of sulphur donor ligands prompted us to prepare unsymmetrical borole complexes of benzothiazolines.
