- Thiazolyl-phosphine hydrochloride salts: Effective auxiliary ligands for ruthenium-catalyzed nitrile hydration reactions and related amide bond forming processes in water
-
A series of water-soluble N-protonated thiazolyl-phosphine hydrochloride salts have been synthesized and coordinated to the ruthenium(ii) fragment [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)]. The resulting complexes were evaluated as potential catalysts for the selective hydration of nitriles to primary amides in environmentally friendly aqueous medium. The best results in terms of activity were achieved when tris(5-(2-aminothiazolyl))phosphine trihydrochloride was used as ligand. Using the Ru(ii) complex 9 derived from this salt (3 mol%), the catalytic reactions proceeded cleanly in pure water at 100 °C without the assistance of any additive, affording the desired amides in high yields (>78%) after short reaction periods (0.5-7 h). The process was operative with both aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated and aliphatic nitriles, and tolerated several functional groups. The utility of 9 in promoting the formation of primary amides in water by catalytic rearrangement of aldoximes and direct coupling of aldehydes with NH2OH·HCl has also been demonstrated.

- Bis(allyl)ruthenium(rV) complexes containing water-soluble phosphane ligands: Synthesis, structure, and application as catalysts in the Selective hydration of organonitriles into amides
-
The novel mononuclear ruthenium(IV) complexes [RuCl2(η 3: η3-C10H16)(L)] [L = (meta-sulfonatophenyl)diphenylphosphane sodium salt (TPPMS) (2a), 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane (PTA) (2b), 1-benzyl-3,5-diaza-1-azonia-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane chloride (PTABn) (2c), 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (DAPTA) (2d), and 2,4,10-trimethyl-1,2,4,5,7,10-hexaaza-3-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1. 13,7]decane (THPA) (2e)] have been synthesized by treatment of the dimeric precursor [{RuCl(μ-Cl)((η3: η3-C 10H16)}2] (C10H16 = 2,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene-1,8-diyl) (1) with two equivalents of the corresponding water-soluble phosphane. Reaction of 1 with one equivalent of the cage-type diphosphane ligand 2,3,5,6,7,8-hexamethyl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexaaza-1,4- diphosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (THDP) allowed also the high-yield preparation of the dinuclear derivative [[RuCl2(η3: η3-C10H16)}2(μ-THDP)] (2f). All these new complexes have been analytically and spectroscopically (IR and multinuclear NMR) characterized. In addition, the structure of 2b, 2c, 2d, and 2 f was unequivocally confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. Complexes 2a-f are active catalysts for the selective hydration of nitriles to amides in pure aqueous medium under neutral conditions. The wide scope of this catalytic transformation has been evaluated by using the most active catalysts [RuCl 2(η3: η3-C10H 16)(THPA)] (2e) and [{RuCl2(η3: η3-C10H16)}2(μ-THDP)] (2f). Advantages of using MW versus conventional thermal heating are also discussed.

- Selective ruthenium-catalyzed hydration of nitriles to amides in pure aqueous medium under neutral conditions
-
A study was conducted to demonstrate that water-soluble ruthenium(II) complexes can be used as catalysts for the hydration of nitriles in pure aqueous media and under neutral conditions. The hydration of benzonitrile was investigated as a model reaction and the ruthenium precursor was added to a 0.33M aqueous solution of benzonitrile at 100°C, while the reaction was monitored by gas chromatography. All the complexes checked, were found to be active and selective catalysts in the hydration process, providing benzamide as a specific reaction product. The most relevant results were obtained by using ruthenium complexes, bearing a nitrogen-containing ligand, which led to appropriate production of benzamide. The most effective ruthenium complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the selective hydration of a large number of other nitriles.

- 5-Deazafolate analogues with a rotationally restricted glutamate or ornithine side chain: Synthesis and binding interaction with folylpolyglutamate synthetase
-
Rotationally restricted analogues of 5-deazapteroyl-L-glutamate and (6R,6S)-5-deaza-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroyl-L-glutamate with a one-carbon bridge between the amide nitrogen and the 6'-position of the p-aminobenzoyl moiety were synthesized and tested as substrates for folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS), a key enzyme in folate metabolism and an important determinant of the therapeutic potency and selectivity of classical antifolates. The corresponding bridged analogues of 5-deazapteroyl-L- ornithine and (6R,6S)-5-deaza-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroyl-L-ornithine were also synthesized as potential inhibitors. Condensation of diethyl L-glutamate with methyl 2-bromomethyl-4-nitrobenzoate followed by catalytic reduction of the nitro group, reductive coupling with 2-acetamido-6-formylpyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one in the presence of dimethylaminoborane, and acidolysis with HBr/AcOH yielded 2-L-[5-[N-(2-acetamido-4(3H)-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin- 6-yl)methylamino]-2,3-dihydro-1-oxo-2(1H)-isoindolyl]glutaric acid (1). When acidolysis was preceded by catalytic hydrogenation, the final product was the corresponding (6R,6S)-tetrahydro derivative 2. A similar sequence starting from methyl N(δ)benzyloxycarbonyl-L-ornithine led to 2-L-[5-[N-(2-amino- 4(3H)-oxopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)methylamino]-2,3-dihydro-1-oxo-2(1H)- isoindolyl]-5-aminopentanoic acid (3) and the (6R,6S)tetrahydro derivative 4. Compounds 3 and 4 were powerful inhibitors of recombinant human FPGS, whereas 1 and 2 were exceptionally efficient FPGS substrates, with the reduced compound 2 giving a Km (0.018 μM) lower than that of any other substrate identified to date. (6R,6S)-5-Deazatetrahydrofolate, in which the side chain is free to rotate, was rapidly converted to long-chain polyglutamates. In contrast, the reaction of 1 and 2 was limited to the addition of a single molecule of glutamic a cid. Hence rotational restriction of the side chain did not interfere with the initial FPGS-catalyzed reaction and indeed seemed to facilitate it, but the ensuing γ-glutamyl adduct was no longer an efficient substrate for the enzyme.
