Contribution of intramolecular NH...O hydrogen bonds to magnesium-carboxylate bonds
Okamura, Taka-Aki,Nakagawa, Junko
, p. 10812 - 10824 (2013)
A series of magnesium carboxylate complexes containing intramolecular NH...O hydrogen bonds were synthesized. Their molecular structures were determined by X-ray analysis. A direct NH...O hydrogen bond to the coordinated oxygen atom elongated the Mg-O bond, while a hydrogen bond to the carbonyl group shortened the Mg-O bond. Double NH...O hydrogen bonds significantly lowered the basicity of the carboxylate anion and prevented coordination to the Mg ion in a trans configuration; however, a cis-dicarboxylate complex was successfully obtained. Strong coordination of water to the Mg2+ ion stabilizes the weak Mg-carboxylate bond at the trans position. In contrast, a weak Mg-carboxylate bond strengthens the Mg-O(water) bond, probably increasing the acidity. Based on the experimental results and theoretical calculations, a new switching mechanism is proposed. In the proposed mechanism, the acidity of the coordinated water on magnesium is controlled during catalytic hydrolysis in endonuclease.

, (2008/06/13)
Compounds corresponding to the formula: SPC1 In which R1 and R2 are, independently, hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, pinonyl, ethylcycloalkyl, lower alkenyl, halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl, ethylphenyl, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-methylene, styryl, furyl, phenyl or substituted phenyl in which the substituents are nitro, halogen, methyl, or methoxy; R3 and R4 are, independently, hydrogen or lower alkyl; X and Y are independently oxygen or sulfur; and Z is halogen, nitro, amino, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or trifluoromethyl and n is an integer having a value from 0 to 4. The above compounds are effective herbicides, particularly for the control of grasses and broadleaf plants with both pre-emergence and post-emergence activity. Representative compounds are: m-propionamidobutyranilide, m-bis-2,2-dimethylvaleranilide, m-isobutyramido trichloroacetanilide, m-isobutyramido-2-ethylbutyranilide, m-t-butylacetamidopropionanilide, and 3'-N-ethyl propionamido-propionalide.
