Thus, basic hydrolysis of OCOPh or Pd-catalyzed debenzylation of OCH2Ph gave phenol functionality, which was acylated and alkylated. Pd-catalyzed Suzuki, Negishi, Sonogashira, and Heck C−C cross-coupling reactions of iodo derivatives 1c, 1d, and 2d ffi were also successful and e cient. Reduction of NO2 in 1e led to aniline derivative 1t, which was reductively alkylated with hexanal and coupled to L-proline. Selected benzo[1,2,4]triazinyl radicals were characterized by EPR and electronic absorption spectroscopy, and the results were analyzed in tandem with DFT computational methods. Lastly, the mechanism for formation of the 1,4- dihydrobenzo[1,2,4]triazine ring was investigated using the B3LYP/6-31G(2d,p) method. ■ INTRODUCTION little attention, and only a handful of derivatives have been Stable π-delocalized radicals are becoming important structural reported in the literature.

Since then, Koutentis optimized ration into more complex molecular architectures and tuning of the classic synthetic routes to the benzo[1,2,4]triazinyl skeleton,19 demonstrated Pd-catalyzed C−C cross-coupling properties can be accomplished through functional group − reactions of the 7-iodo derivatives,20 23 fused 5-membered transformations. In this context, we recently demonstrated a 17,24 number of chemical transformations on derivatives of the 1,3,5- heterocyclic rings at the 6,7 positions, and applied 11 benzo[1,2,4]triazinyls toward the synthesis of other hetero- triphenyl-6-oxoverdazyl radical (I, Figure 1). However, the 25 benzo[1,2,4]triazinyl radical appears even more interesting in cycles. More recently, he has developed another synthetic the context of developing new materials.12,13 pathway to the benzo[1,2,4]triazinyl, potentially widening the scope of substitution patterns on the heterocycle.18 While the structural variety of benzo[1,2,4]triazinyl derivatives has increased dramatically, there still remains a need for broader investigation of functionalized derivatives of the radical and functional group transformations in the presence of the unpaired electron. Such functionalized derivatives are required for the development of advanced materials and are of interest in our research program aimed at investigation of organic semiconductors. Figure 1. Structure and numbering scheme for 1,3,5-triphenyl-6- Herein, we report the investigation of functionalized oxoverdazyl (I) and 1,3-diphenyl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[1,2,4]triazinyl derivatives of Blatter’s radical II containing OCOPh (OBz), (Blatter’s radical, II).

  • Empowering Alcohols As Carbonyl Surrogates for Grignard-Type Reactions
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19857-9 OPEN Empowering alcohols as carbonyl surrogates for Grignard-type reactions Chen-Chen Li 1, Haining Wang1, Malcolm M. Sim1, Zihang Qiu 1, Zhang-Pei Chen1, Rustam Z. Khaliullin1 & ✉ Chao-Jun Li 1 The Grignard reaction is a fundamental tool for constructing C-C bonds. Although it is widely used in synthetic chemistry, it is normally applied in early stage functionalizations owing to 1234567890():,; poor functional group tolerance and less availability of carbonyls at late stages of molecular modifications. Herein, we report a Grignard-type reaction with alcohols as carbonyl surro- gates by using a ruthenium(II) PNP-pincer complex as catalyst. This transformation proceeds via a carbonyl intermediate generated in situ from the dehydrogenation of alcohols, which is followed by a Grignard-type reaction with a hydrazone carbanion to form a C-C bond. The reaction conditions are mild and can tolerate a broad range of substrates. Moreover, no oxidant is involved during the entire transformation, with only H2 and N2 being generated as byproducts. This reaction opens up a new avenue for Grignard-type reactions by enabling the use of naturally abundant alcohols as starting materials without the need for pre-synthesizing carbonyls. 1 Department of Chemistry and FQRNT Centre for Green Chemistry and Catalysis, McGill University, 801 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, QC H3A 0B8, ✉ Canada. email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2020) 11:6022 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19857-9 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19857-9 n tandem with the significant advancements of biological and even be successfully applied in synergistic relay reactions29.

  • Basic Principles and Analytical Application of Derivative Spectrophotometry
    13 Basic Principles and Analytical Application of Derivative Spectrophotometry Joanna Karpinska Institute of Chemistry, University of Bialystok, Bialystok Poland 1. Introduction Analytical methods based on measurements of UV or visible light absorption belong to the most popular and most often used in laboratory practice. Commercially available apparatuses are cheap and easy for operation. Spectrophotometric procedures usually are not time- and labour-consuming. The economical aspects of UV-Vis techniques is worth of emphasize too. It is one of the cheapest technique, so spectrophotometers are basic equipment of every laboratory. The main disadvantage and limitation of the spectrophotometry is its low selectivity. The measurement of absorbance is burden by interferences derived from others components of sample. A recorded UV-Vis spectrum is the sum of absorbances of analyte and matrix. Usually, recorded bands are well-defined but more or less distorted by a background. As the background is called absorbance exhibited by matrix (reagents or accompanied compounds). The problem with specific or nonspecific background can be omitted by measurements versus blank. Such procedure can be successfully applied only in the case of simple samples, which composition is stable and well known or when highly selective reagents are used. An isolation of an analyte from matrix is another solution for increasing the selectivity of assay. But every additional operation introduced into sample preparation procedure extents time and costs of single analysis and increases risk of loss or contamination of the analyte. One of the simplest method for an increasing a selectivity is derivatisation of spectra. This operation allows to remove spectral interferences and as a consequence leads to increase selectivity of assay.

  • Dihydrazides - the Versatile Curing Agent for Solid Dispersion Systems
    Dihydrazides - The Versatile Curing Agent for Solid Dispersion Systems Abe Goldstein A&C Catalysts, Inc Abstract This paper will introduce dihydrazides, a relatively obscure class of curing agents useful in virtually all thermoset resin systems. First described in 1958, by Wear, et al.(1) dihydrazides are useful curing agents for epoxy resins, chain extenders for polyurethanes, and excellent crosslinking agents for acrylics. In one-part epoxy systems, depending on the backbone chain of the chosen dihydrazide, Tg's over 150°C and pot life over 6 months as cure time of less than a minute can be seen. In acrylic emulsions, dihydrazides can be dissolved into the water phase and serve as an additional crosslinker, as the emulsion coalesces and cures. As a chain extender for poylurethanes, dihydrazides can be used to increase toughness and reduce yellowing. Introduction O O | | | | Dihydrazides are represented by the active group: H2NHNC(R) CNHNH2, where R is can be any polyvalent organic radical preferably derived from a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acid esters are reacted with hydrazine hydrate in an alcohol solution using a catalyst and a water extraction step. The most common dihydrazides include adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH), derived from adipic acid, sebacic acid dihydrazide (SDH), valine dihydrazide (VDH), derived from the amino acid valine, and isophthalic dihydrazide (IDH). The aliphatic R group can be of any length. For example, when R group is just carbon, the resulting compound is carbodihydrazide (CDH), the fastest dihydrazide. Or R as long as C-18 has been reported as in icosanedioic acid dihydrazide (LDH). Some of the more common dihydrazides are represented in Figure 1.

  • 93-Cysteine Thiol Group in Human Hemoglobin Estimated from in Vitro Oxidant Challenge Experiments
    molecules Article The Redox Potential of the β-93-Cysteine Thiol Group in Human Hemoglobin Estimated from In Vitro Oxidant Challenge Experiments Federico Maria Rubino LaTMA Laboratory for Analytical Toxicology and Metabonomics, Department of Health Sciences, Università degli Studi di Milano at “Ospedale San Paolo” v. A. di Rudinì 8, I-20142 Milano, Italy; [email protected] Abstract: Glutathionyl hemoglobin is a minor form of hemoglobin with intriguing properties. The measurement of the redox potential of its reactive β-93-Cysteine is useful to improve understanding of the response of erythrocytes to transient and chronic conditions of oxidative stress, where the level of glutathionyl hemoglobin is increased. An independent literature experiment describes the recovery of human erythrocytes exposed to an oxidant burst by measuring glutathione, glutathione disulfide and glutathionyl hemoglobin in a two-hour period. This article calculates a value for the 93 redox potential E0 of the β- -Cysteine, considering the erythrocyte as a closed system at equilibrium described by the Nernst equation and using the measurements of the literature experiment. The obtained value of E0 of −121 mV at pH 7.4 places hemoglobin as the most oxidizing thiol of the erythrocyte. By using as synthetic indicators of the concentrations the electrochemical potentials of the two main redox pairs in the erythrocytes, those of glutathione–glutathione disulfide and of glutathionyl–hemoglobin, the mechanism of the recovery phase can be hypothesized. Hemoglobin Citation: Rubino, F.M. The Redox acts as the redox buffer that scavenges oxidized glutathione in the oxidative phase and releases it in Potential of the β-93-Cysteine Thiol the recovery phase, by acting as the substrate of the NAD(P)H-cofactored enzymes.

Van der Maelen[b] Keywords: Ruthenium / Thiolate ligands / Dithiolate ligands / Substitution reactions / Electrophilic additions The known dithiolate-bridged ruthenium(I) complex [Ru2(µ- bdt)(CO)4}(µ-dppm)]n, which consists of binuclear {Ru2(µ- bdt)(CO)6](1) (bdt = benzene-1,2-dithiolate) has been bdt)(CO)4} units linked to each other by bridging dppm prepared in fair yield (55%) by the sequential treatment of ligands. The use of two equivalents of dppm leads to [Ru2(µ- 1 RuCl3·nH2O with carbon monoxide, benzene-1,2-dithiol and bdt)(CO)4(η -dppm)2] in quantitative yield. The X-ray zinc in a one-pot reaction. Complex 1 reacts readily with diffraction structure of [Ru2(µ-bdt)(CO)4(PiPr3)2](3c) confirms monodentate phosphanes to give, stepwise, the penta- and that the phosphane ligands are located in axial positions, cis tetracarbonyl derivatives [Ru2(µ-bdt)(CO)6–n(PR3)n](n= 1, 2; to both sulfur atoms, and that the Ru–Ru distance is short R = Ph, Cy, iPr). However, the reaction of 1 with one [2.6753(7) A˚ ]. A comparative study of the reactivity of + + equivalent of bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane (dppm) complexes 1 and 3c with the electrophiles H , [Au(PPh3)] , affords a mixture of complex 1 and the disubstituted and HgCl2 has allowed the isolation of the derivatives [Ru2(µ- 1 derivative [Ru2(µ-bdt)(CO)4(η -dppm)2], in which the dppm H)(µ-bdt)(CO)6–n(PiPr3)n][BF4](n= 0, 2), [Ru2Au(µ-bdt)(CO)6–n- ligands are monodentate.
