- Synthesis of new chiral Mn(iii)-salen complexes as recoverable and reusable homogeneous catalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of styrenes and chromenes
-
New chiral Mn(iii)-salen complexes 1a-e and 2a-e were synthesized from the reaction of C2-symmetric chiral salen ligands and Mn(CH3COO)2·4H2O under an inert atmosphere followed by aerobic oxidation. These complexes were obtained in 91-96% yields and characterized by HRMS, FT-IR, UV-visible spectroscopy, TGA, and elemental analysis. The chiral Mn(iii)-salen complexes 1a-e and 2a-e were evaluated in the asymmetric epoxidation of styrene using NaOCl as an oxidant in ethyl acetate as a green solvent. The chiral Mn(iii)-salen complexes 1b and 2b (2 mol%) catalyzed the asymmetric epoxidation of substituted styrenes and chromenes to afford the corresponding epoxides in 95-98% yields with 29-88% ee's. The catalysts 1b and 2b were recovered and reused for up to 2 and 3 runs, respectively, in the asymmetric epoxidation of styrene, and the yield of styrene oxide gradually decreased but the ee was consistent.

- A Novel Synthesis of 2-Ferrocenoyl-Substituted Iodobenzofurans
-
In the present investigation, the first construction of a series of structurally new 2-ferrocenoyl-substituted iodobenzofurans hybrids has been achieved through a simple and mild two-step procedure, involving the iodination of salicylaldehydes using N-iodosuccinimide reagent in eco-friendly PEG-400 medium at room temperature followed by one-pot Rap–Stoermer reaction with 1-chloroacetylferrocene in refluxing MeCN with the presence of K2CO3as base and PEG-400 as the activated additive. These newly synthesized compounds belong to a new class of ferrocene-benzofuran hybrids and could be good candidates for the development of compounds for use in medicinal chemistry.

- Di- and trinuclear iron/titanium and iron/zirconium complexes with heterocyclic ligands as catalysts for ethylene polymerization
-
The properties of polyolefin resins depend very much on their molecular weights, the amount of side chain branchings and molecular weight distributions. One way to obtain such tailored products in only one reaction step consists in the application of dissymmetric multi nuclear catalysts with different active sites. Since every active site is producing its own polymer, a “molecular blending” is the result. In order to reach this goal, a variety of mono, di- and trinuclear complexes of iron, titanium and zirconium, containing 2,6-bis(aryliminoethyl)pyridine and phenoxyimine building blocks have been synthesized and characterized. The reaction of iodo functionalized 2,6-bis(arylimino-ethyl)pyridine derivatives with alkyne functionalized phenoxyimine compounds via Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions results in ligand precursors that can provide coordination sites for two different metals. Trinuclear complexes with the combinations Ti/Fe and Zr/Fe, each molecule containing two iron atoms in two 2,6-bis(aryliminoethyl)pyridine units, gave the best ethylene polymerization results. Due to fast ligand exchange reactions, dinuclear iron/titanium complexes could not be isolated from reactions of mono(phenoxyimine) titanium complexes and the coupled bis(chelate) ligand precursor. Since the metal centers show their best performances at different polymerization temperatures, the compositions (and, therefore, the molecular weight distributions) of the desired polyethylenes may be adjusted by a simple change of the reaction temperature.

- Di- and trinuclear zirconium complexes as catalysts for ethylene polymerization
-
Bimodal and multimodal molecular weight distributions of polyethylenes can be achieved with di- or trinuclear zirconium catalysts in homogeneous solution. In order to prepare such complexes, bis(phenoxyimine) zirconium complexes and zirconocene complexes were coupled in Sonogashira reactions. Hydrosilylation reactions were applied for the combination of metallocene complexes with silane substituted N-heterocyclic compounds, such as 3,5-dimethylpyrazoles. The resulting di- and trinuclear complexes were activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) and applied as catalysts for ethylene polymerization. The catalytic performances of these complexes and their applications in olefin polymerization reactions are discussed.

- (R,R)-salen/salan-based polymer fluorescence sensors for Zn2+ detection
-
(R,R)-salen-based polymer fluorescence sensor P-1 could be synthesized by the polymerization of 5,5′-(isoquinoline-5,8-diylbis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))- bis(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) (M-1) with (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (M-2) via nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction, and (R,R)-salan-based polymer sensor P-2 could be obtained by the reduction reaction of P-1 with NaBH4. The fluorescence response behaviors of two chiral polymers P-1 and P-2 on Zn2+ were investigated by fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence intensities of P-1 and P-2 can exhibit gradual enhancement upon addition of Zn2+. Compared with other cations, such as Na +, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Cd 2+, Cr3+ and Pb2+, Zn2+ can lead to the pronounced fluorescence enhancement as high as 22.8-fold for P-1 and 3.75-fold for P-2, respectively. The results show that P-1 and P-2 incorporating (R,R)-salen/salan moieties as receptors in the polymer main chain backbone can exhibit high sensitivity and selectivity for Zn2+ detection.

- Chiral linear polymers bonded alternatively with salen and 1,4-dialkoxybenzene: Synthesis and application for Ti-catalyzed asymmetric TMSCN addition to aldehydes
-
The synthesis of chiral linear polymers 1a-b having salen and 1,4-dioctyloxybenzene as alternate segments has been accomplished. The GPC analysis showed the molecular weights corresponding to ca. 15 (Mw = 10,999, Mn = 9165 and PDI = 1.20) repeating units for 1a and ca. 8 (Mw = 8547, Mn = 7883 and PDI = 1.08) repeating units for 1b. Polymers 1a-b have been studied with Ti(OiPr)4 as a recyclable catalyst for the asymmetric addition of TMSCN to aldehydes while the selectivity of the polymer catalyst is identical to that of the monomer. The reactions are efficient affording the cyanohydrins with up to 88% ee. The selectivity of the polymer based catalyst 9a is found to be the same to that of the monomer 10a. The reaction provides the advantages of simplified product isolation and easy recovery and recyclability of polymer catalyst 9a without any loss of activity or selectivity.

- The combination of mononuclear metallocene and phenoxyimine complexes to give trinuclear catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene
-
Trinuclear complexes were synthesized by combination of metallocene and phenoxyimine zirconium complexes. After activation with methylalumoxane (MAO), these catalysts polymerize ethylene with moderate and good activities. Due to the presence of different catalytic centers, polyethylenes with broad or bimodal molecular weight distributions were obtained.

- Radioiodine-Labeled N,N-Dimethyl-N'-(2-hydroxy-3-alkyl-5-iodobenzyl)-1,3-propanediamines for Brain Perfusion Imaging
-
In developing new brain-imaging agents for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), we synthesized five radioiodinated N,N-dimethyl-N'-(2-hydroxy-3-alkyl-5-iodobenzyl)-1,3-propanediamines (12-16).The appropriate o-alkylphenol was formylated via a tin(IV) chloride catalyzed reaction.Iodination with iodine monochloride gave the required 3-alkyl-5-iodosalicylaldehyde, which was reductively aminated with 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine and sodium borohydride.The radioactive labeling (>95percent yield) can be achieved by a rapid aqueous exchange reaction in a serum vial at 100 deg C.Biodistribution in rats exhibited high initial brain uptake (0.9 to 1.8percent dose in brain at 2 min), and the brain activity remained about the same at 1 h for all the compounds.The best brain-imaging agent was N,N-dimethyl-N'-(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-iodobenzyl)-1,3-propanediamine (12), which showed the highest uptake of 1.80 and 2.02percent dose in brain at 2 min and 1 h, respectively.The brain uptake increases when the specific activity of 125I-labeled 12 decreases.An imaging study of 12 in a monkey showed high initial brain uptake as well as high uptake in lungs and liver.The brain uptake persists for at least 1 h.Autoradiography of rat brain sections showed a regional distribution that reflects the cerebral perfusion pattern (high activity in gray matter and low activity in white matter).It is apparent that 12 is readily prepared and is potentially useful for brain perfusion imaging in conjunction with SPECT devices.
