Synthesis, Characterization, Reactivity, Catalytic Activity, and Antiamoebic Activity of Vanadium(V) Complexes of ICL670 (Deferasirox) and a Related Ligand

The reactions of [VIVO(acac)2] (acac = acetylacetonato) with two ONO tridentate ligands, 4-[3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]benzoic acid (H2L1, I) and 3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole

Biomimetic Oxidative Bromination by cis-Dioxidotungsten(VI) Complexes of Salan Type N,N’-Capped Linear Tetradentate Amino Bisphenol

Reaction of [WVIO2(acac)2] (Hacac=acetylacetone) with salan-type dibasic tetradentate ONNO donor Mannich bases derived from ethylenediamine, formaldehyde and 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (H2L1), 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (H2L2), 2,4-dimethylphenol (H2L3) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (H2L4) in a 1 : 1 ([WVIO2(acac)2] : H2L) molar ratio in refluxing MeOH gave the corresponding cis-dioxidotungsten(VI) complexes [WVIO2L1] (1), [WVIO2L2] (2), [WVIO2L3] (3) and [WVIO2L4] (4), respectively. Characterization by elemental analysis, various spectroscopic (FT-IR, UV-vis, 1H and 13C NMR) studies, DFT calculations and single-crystal X-ray analysis of 2 and 3 suggest six-coordinated octahedral α-cis (symmetric) isomeric form of the complexes where ligands coordinate through the two phenolate oxygen and two amine nitrogen atoms (in a cis-α type symmetric binding mode) with one of the N atoms of the ligand and one of the terminal O atoms of the cis-WO2 group in the axial position. These complexes are potential catalyst precursors for the oxidative bromination of thymol and styrene. Thymol upon bromination gave three products, namely, 2-bromothymol, 4-bromothymol, and 2,4-dibromothymol; later one being the major product. Oxidative bromination of styrene resulted in 2-bromo-1-phenylethanol and 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol; the later one is the result of nucleophilic attack of water on the α as well as β carbons both of the initially formed 1,2-dibromo-1-phenylethane.

Chemoenzymatic Halogenation of Phenols by using the Haloperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis

The vanadium-dependent chloroperoxidase from Curvularia inaequalis is an efficient biocatalyst for the in situ generation of hypohalous acids and subsequent electrophilic oxidation/halogenation reactions. Especially, its superb activity and stability unde

Thymol Bromination - A Comparison between Enzymatic and Chemical Catalysis

The catalytic activity of the vanadium-dependent bromoperoxidase isolated from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum is compared with the activity of a cheap, commercially available V-catalyst precursor in the bromination of thymol. Organic solvents have been avoided to make the system appealing from a sustainable chemistry point of view. It is noteworthy that, notwithstanding the low solubility of the substrate, the thymol bromination reactions were performed in water, with a safe brominating source, under mild conditions, and with relatively inexpensive reagents. In this regard, the greenness of the systems was evaluated by the estimation of the E-factor value; the result is that the chemical reaction has a lower environmental impact than the enzymatic process, with an E-factor in the range of eco-friendly processes. Catalysis of thymol bromination by vanadium derivatives is directly compared to catalysis by a V-dependent bromoperoxidase. All reactions were performed under mild and sustainable conditions with relatively inexpensive reagents. Appealing results were obtained in terms of selectivity and sustainability.

Selective Mono- and Dibromination of Thymol by Electrolysis in Acetonitrile and Methanol

For anodic bromination of thymol, MeCN and MeOH were suitable solvents for mono- and dibromination respectively.In MeCN, no dibrominated product was observed even when four Faradays per mole of thymol were passed.

Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) and dioxidouranium(VI) complexes as functional mimic of haloperoxidases catalytic activity in presence of H2O2–KBr–HClO4

The stable dibasic tetradentate ligand 1,4-bis-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)piperazine (H2pip-2,4-dmp, I) prepared by reacting 2,4-dimethylphenol with piperazine in the presence of formaldehyde reacts with [MoVIO2(acac)s

In vitro cytotoxicity and catalytic evaluation of dioxidovanadium(v) complexes in an azohydrazone ligand environment

Three new anionic dioxidovanadium(v) complexes (HNEt3)[VO2(L)1-3] (1-3) of tridentate binegative aroylhydrazone ligands containing the azobenzene moiety were synthesized and structurally characterized. The aroylhydrazone ligands (H2L1-3) were derived from the condensation of 5-(arylazo) salicylaldehyde derivatives with the corresponding aroyl hydrazides. All the synthesized ligands and metal complexes were successfully characterized by several physicochemical techniques, namely, elemental analysis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, spectroscopic methods (IR, UV-vis and NMR), and cyclic voltammetry. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction crystallography of 1-3 revealed five-coordinate geometry, where the ligand coordinates to the metal centre in a binegative tridentate O, N, O coordinating anion and two oxido-O atoms, resulting in distortion towards the square pyramidal structure. The complexes were further evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against HeLa and HT-29 cancer cell lines. All the complexes manifested a cytotoxic potential that was found to be comparable with that of clinically referred drugs, while complex 3 proved to be the most cytotoxic among the three complexes for both cell lines, which may be due to the synergistic effect of the naphthyl substituent in the azohydrazone ligand environment coordinated to the vanadium metal. The synthesized complexes 1-3 were probed as catalysts for the oxidative bromination of thymol and styrene as a functional mimic of vanadium haloperoxidases (VHPOs). All the reactions provided high percentages of conversion (>90%) with a high turnover frequency (TOF) in the presence of the catalysts 1-3. In particular, for the oxidative bromination of thymol, the percentage of conversion and TOF were in the ranges of 98-99% and 5380-7173 (h-1), respectively. Besides, 3 bearing the naphthyl substituent showed the highest TOF among all the complexes for the oxidative bromination of both thymol and styrene.

Oxidoperoxidotungsten(VI) and dioxidotungsten(VI) complexes catalyzed oxidative bromination of thymol in presence of H2O2-KBr-HClO4

Vanadium(v) complexes of a tripodal ligand, their characterisation and biological implications

The reaction of the tripodal tetradentate dibasic ligand 6,6′-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylazanediyl)bis(methylene)bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol), H2L1I, with [VIVO(acac)2] in CH3CN gives the VVO-complex, [VVO(acac)(L1)] 1. Crystallisation of 1 in CH3CN at ～0 °C gives dark blue crystals of 1, while at room temperature it affords dark green crystals of [{VVO(L1)}2μ-O] 3. Upon prolonged treatment of 1 in MeOH, [VVO(OMe)(MeOH)(L1)] 2 is obtained. All three complexes were analysed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, depicting a distorted octahedral geometry around vanadium. In the reaction of H2L1 with VIVOSO4 partial hydrolysis of the tripodal ligand results in the elimination of the pyridyl fragment of L1 and the formation of H[VVO2(L2)] 4 containing the ONO tridentate ligand 6,6′-azanediylbis(methylene)bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenol), H2L2II. Compound 4, which was not fully characterised, undergoes dimerization in acetone yielding the hydroxido-bridged [{VVO(L2)}2μ-(OH)2] 5 having a distorted octahedral geometry around each vanadium. In contrast, from a solution of 4 in acetonitrile, the dinuclear compound [{VVO(L2)}2μ-O] 6 is obtained, with a trigonal bipyramidal geometry around each vanadium. The methoxido complex 2 is successfully employed as a functional catechol-oxidase mimic in the oxidation of catechol to o-quinone under air. The process was confirmed to follow a Michaelis-Menten type kinetics with respect to catechol, the Vmax and KM values obtained being 7.66 × 10-6 M min-1 and 0.0557 M, respectively, and the turnover frequency is 0.0541 min-1. A similar reaction with the bulkier 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol proceeded at a much slower rate. Complex 2 was also used as a catalyst precursor for the oxidative bromination of thymol in aqueous medium. The selectivity shows quite interesting trends, namely when not using excess of the primary oxidizing agent, H2O2, the para mono-brominated product corresponds to ～93% of the products and no dibromo derivative is formed.
