Triazine-derived quaternary ammonium salts, e.g., 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMTMM(Cl)), emerged as promising dehydro-condensation agents for amide synthesis, although suffering of limited stability and high costs. In the present work, a simple protocol for the synthesis of amides mediated by 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (CDMT) and a tert-amine has been described and data are compared to DMTMM(Cl) and other CDMT-derived quaternary ammonium salts (DMT-Ams(X), X: − − Cl or ClO4 ). Different tert-amines (Ams) were tested for the synthesis of various DMT-Ams(Cl), but only DMTMM(Cl) could be isolated and employed for dehydro-condensation reactions, while all CDMT/tert-amine systems tested were efficient as dehydro-condensation agents. Interestingly, in best reaction conditions, CDMT and 1,4-dimethylpiperazine gave N-phenethyl benzamide in 93% yield in 15 min, with up to half the amount of tert-amine consumption.

  • Iron-Catalysed Transformation of Molecular Dinitrogen Into Silylamine Under Ambient Conditions
    ARTICLE Received 6 Sep 2012 | Accepted 6 Nov 2012 | Published 4 Dec 2012 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2264 Iron-catalysed transformation of molecular dinitrogen into silylamine under ambient conditions Masahiro Yuki1, Hiromasa Tanaka2, Kouitsu Sasaki1, Yoshihiro Miyake1, Kazunari Yoshizawa2 & Yoshiaki Nishibayashi1 Although stoichiometric transformations using transition metal–N2 complexes have been well investigated towards the goal of nitrogen fixation under mild reaction conditions, only a few examples of the catalytic transformations of N2 using transition metal–N2 complexes as catalysts have been reported. In almost all the catalytic systems, the use of Mo is essential to realize the catalytic transformation of N2, where Mo–N2 complexes are considered to work as effective catalysts. Here we show the first successful example of the Fe-catalysed transfor- mation of N2 into N(SiMe3)3 under ambient conditions, in which iron complexes such as iron pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO)5] and ferrocenes have been found to work as effective catalysts. A plausible reaction pathway is proposed, where Fe(II)–N2 complex bearing two Me3Si groups as ancillary ligands has an important role as a key reactive intermediate, with the aid of density-functional-theory calculations. 1 Institute of Engineering Innovation, School of Engineering, University of Tokyo, Yayoi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan. 2 Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering, International Research Center for Molecular Systems, Kyushu University, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan.

    MAGICAL POWER OF TRANSITION METALS: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2010 by EI-ICHI NEGISHI Herbert C. Brown Laboratories of Chemistry, Purdue University, 560 Oval Drive, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2084, U.S.A. Not long ago, the primary goal of the synthesis of complex natural products and related compounds of biological and medicinal interest was to be able to synthesize them, preferably before anyone else. While this still remains a very important goal, a number of today’s top-notch synthetic chemists must feel and even think that, given ample resources and time, they are capable of synthesizing virtually all natural products and many analogues thereof. Accepting this notion, what would then be the major goals of organic synthesis in the twenty-first century? One thing appears to be unmistakably certain. Namely, we will always need, perhaps increasingly so with time, the uniquely creative field of synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry to prepare both new and existing organic compounds for the benefit and well-being of mankind. It then seems reasonably clear that, in addition to the question of what compounds to synthesize, that of how best to synthesize them will become increasingly important. As some may have said, the primary goal would then shift from aiming to be the first to synthesize a given compound to seeking its ultimately satisfactory or “last synthesis”. If one carefully goes over various aspects of organic synthetic methodology, one would soon note how primitive and limited it had been until rather recently, or perhaps even today. For the sake of argument, we may propose here that the ultimate goal of organic synthesis is “to be able to synthesize any desired and fundamentally synthesizable organic compounds (a) in high yields, (b) efficiently (in as few steps as possible, for example), (c) selectively, preferably all in t98–99% selectivity, (d) economically, and (e) safely, abbreviated hereafter as the y(es)2 manner.” with or without catalyst R1M + R2X R1R2 + MX R1, R2: carbon groups.

  • Organometrallic Chemistry
    CHE 425: ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY SOURCE: OPEN ACCESS FROM INTERNET; Striver and Atkins Inorganic Chemistry Lecturer: Prof. O. G. Adeyemi ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY Definitions: Organometallic compounds are compounds that possess one or more metal-carbon bond. The bond must be “ionic or covalent, localized or delocalized between one or more carbon atoms of an organic group or molecule and a transition, lanthanide, actinide, or main group metal atom.” Organometallic chemistry is often described as a bridge between organic and inorganic chemistry. Organometallic compounds are very important in the chemical industry, as a number of them are used as industrial catalysts and as a route to synthesizing drugs that would not have been possible using purely organic synthetic routes. Coordinative unsaturation is a term used to describe a complex that has one or more open coordination sites where another ligand can be accommodated. Coordinative unsaturation is a very important concept in organotrasition metal chemistry. Hapticity of a ligand is the number of atoms that are directly bonded to the metal centre. Hapticity is denoted with a Greek letter η (eta) and the number of bonds a ligand has with a metal centre is indicated as a superscript, thus η1, η2, η3, ηn for hapticity 1, 2, 3, and n respectively. Bridging ligands are normally preceded by μ, with a subscript to indicate the number of metal centres it bridges, e.g. μ2–CO for a CO that bridges two metal centres. Ambidentate ligands are polydentate ligands that can coordinate to the metal centre through one or more atoms. – – – For example CN can coordinate via C or N; SCN via S or N; NO2 via N or N.

  • A Novel Series of Titanocene Dichloride Derivatives: Synthesis, Characterization and Assessment of Their
    A novel series of titanocene dichloride derivatives: synthesis, characterization and assessment of their cytotoxic properties by Gregory David Potter A thesis submitted to the Department of Chemistry in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May, 2008 Copyright © Gregory David Potter, 2008 Abstract Although cis-PtCl2(NH3)2 (cisplatin) has been widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent, its use can be accompanied by toxic side effects and the development of drug resistance. Consequently, much research has been focused on the discovery of novel transition metal compounds which elicit elevated cytotoxicities coupled with reduced toxic side effects and non-cross resistance. Recently, research in this lab has focused on preparing derivatives of titanocene dichloride (TDC), a highly active chemotherapeutic agent, with pendant alkylammonium groups on one or both rings. Earlier results have demonstrated that derivatives containing either cyclic or chiral alkylammonium groups had increased cytotoxic activities. This research therefore investigated a new series of TDC complexes focusing specifically on derivatives bearing cyclic and chiral alkylammonium groups. A library of ten cyclic derivatives and six chiral derivatives were synthesized and fully characterized. These derivatives have undergone in vitro testing as anti-tumour agents using human lung, ovarian, and cervical carcinoma cell lines (A549, H209, H69, H69/CP, A2780, A2780/CP and HeLa). These standard cell lines represent solid tumour types for which new drugs are urgently needed. The potencies of all of the Ti (IV) derivatives varied greatly (range from 10.8 μM - >1000 μM), although some trends were observed. In general, the dicationic analogues exhibited greater potency than the corresponding monocationic derivatives.
