, p. 1185 - 1191 (2018)
A pair of uranyl complexes incorporating tetrahydrosalen and N,N-dimethyltetrahydrosalen ligands are synthesized and studied. These new ligands, with saturated secondary and tertiary amines, exhibit higher chemostability than the prototype Schiff base (sa
Remarkable Stereocontrol in the Polymerization of Racemic Lactide Using Aluminum Initiators Supported by Tetradentate Aminophenoxide Ligands

A new family of aluminum complexes bearing tetradentate bis(aminophenoxide) ligands is reported and shown to initiate the living ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide. The microstructures of the polylactide products are found to be highly dependent upon the ancillary ligand substituents, ranging from highly isotactic (Pm = 0.79) to very highly heterotactic (Pr = 0.96).

The tetrahydrosalens N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-ethane-1,2-diamine (H2L1), N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-(-)-1,2- cyclohexane-(1R,2R)-diamine (H2L2), N,N′-bis(2- hydroxybenzyl)-N,N′-dimethyl-ethane-1,2-diamine (H2L 3), N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N,N′-dibenzyl-ethane-1,2- diamine (H2L4), and N,N′-bis(2-(4-tert-butyl) hydroxybenzyl)-ethane-1,2-diamine (H2L5), as well as their prodrug glycosylated forms, GL1-5, have been prepared and evaluated in vitro for their potential use as Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapeutics. Dysfunctional interactions of metal ions, especially those of Cu, Zn, and Fe, with the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide are hypothesised to play an important role in the aetiology of AD, and disruption of these aberrant metal-peptide interactions via chelation therapy holds considerable promise as a therapeutic strategy. Tetrahydrosalens such as H2L1-5 have a significant affinity for metal ions, and thus should be able to compete with the Aβ peptide for Cu, Zn, and Fe in the brain. This activity was assayed in vitrovia a turbidity assay; H2L1 and H2L 3 were found to attenuate Aβ1-40 aggregation after exposure to Cu2+ and Zn2+. In addition, H 2L1-5 were determined to be potent antioxidants on the basis of an in vitro antioxidant assay. GL1-5 were prepared as metal binding prodrugs; glycosylation is intended to prevent systemic metal binding, improve solubility, and enhance brain uptake. Enzymatic (β-glucosidase) deprotection of the carbohydrate moieties was facile, with the exception of GL4, demonstrating the general feasibility of this prodrug approach. Finally, a representative prodrug, GL3, was determined to be non-toxic over a large concentration range in a cell viability assay.

A series of molybdenum(vi) cis-dioxo complexes containing tetradentate salan ligands with different para-substitutions on the phenoxy group have been prepared. These complexes catalyse the oxygen atom transfer reaction between dimethylsulfoxide and triphe
