The protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania spp. are responsible for the severely debilitating neglected Tropical diseases of African sleeping sickness, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, respectively. As part of our ongoing programme exploring the potential of simplified analogues of the acetogenin chamuvarinin we identified the T. brucei FoF1-ATP synthase as a target of our earlier triazole analogue series. Using computational docking studies, we hypothesised that the central triazole heterocyclic spacer could be substituted for a central 2,5-substituted furan moiety, thus diversifying the chemical framework for the generation of compounds with greater potency and/or selectivity. Here we report the design, docking, synthesis and biological evaluation of new series of trypanocidal compounds and demonstrate their on-target inhibitory effects. Furthermore, the synthesis of furans by the modular coupling of alkyne- and aldehyde-THPs to bis-THP 1,4-alkyne diols followed by ruthenium/xantphos-catalysed heterocyclisation described here represents the most complex use of this method of heterocyclisation to date.

The six-membered N-heterocyclic carbene l,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-3,4, 5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin2-ylidene (6-Mes) reacts with Ru(PPh3) 3(CO)HF to afford Ru(6-Mes)(PPh3)(CO)HF (1), which is converted to the five-coordinate C-H activated carbene complex Ru(6-Mes)'(PPh3)(CO)H (2) upon treatment with Et3SiH. The hydride chloride precursor Ru(PPh3)3(CO)HCl affords a mixture of products with 6-Mes, but reacts cleanly with 1,3-bis(isopropyl)-3,4, 5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene (6-1Pr) to give the six-coordinate activated complex Ru(6-1Pr)'(PPh3)2(CO)H (3a), in which the hydride is trans to the methylene arm of the activated NHC. This complex isomerizes in solution with ΔH# and Delta;S# values of 98.2 ± 4.6 kJ mol-1 and 15.5 ± 14.5Jmol -1 K-1.The major product from the isomerization, 3b, in which the hydride ligand is trans to carbene, can be made directly by reaction of 6-1Pr with Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2.

In the reaction of [RuHClP3] (P = PPh3) with NaOMe in methanol, the product is [RuH2(CO)P3]. Short reaction times show that the final product is formed through [RuH4P3] as the major interme

A new method has been developed to prepare [(Ph3P) 3Ru(CO)(H)2] (1), an important homogeneous catalyst, directly from RuCl3·xH2O. Unlike previously reported procedures to make 1, the new method does not utilize toxic and hazardous materials such as formaldehyde and benzene and requires only a small excess of PPh3, while furnishing analytically and spectroscopically pure 1 in unprecedented >95% yield. The solvent (EtOH) is used in small quantities, thereby enabling scalability, as has been demonstrated by preparing >17 g of pure 1 in one batch.

Summary: An unprecedented oxidative insertion of the activated ruthenium complex Quot;Ru(CO)(PPh3)2" into aryl halide bonds enables a novel preparation of stable five-coordinate 16-electron d(6) o-aryl-Ru(II) complex Ru(CO)(p-C6

The catalytic hydrodefluorination (HDF) of hexafluorobenzene, pentafluorobenzene, and pen- tafluoropyridine with alkylsilanes is catalyzed by the ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes Ru(NHC)(PPh 3)2(CO)H2 (NHC = SIMes (1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) imidazolin-2-ylidene) 13, SIPr (1,3- bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2- ylidene) 14, IPr (1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) 15, IMes (1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) 16). Catalytic activity follows the order 15 > 13 > 16 > 14, with 15 able to catalyze the HDF of C6F5H with Et3SiH with a turnover number of up to 200 and a turnover frequency of up to 0.86 h-1. The catalytic reactions reveal (i) a novel selectivity for substitution at the 2-position in C6F5H and C5F5N, (ii) formation of deuterated fluoroarene products when reactions are performed in C 6D6, or C6D5CD3, and (iii) a first-order dependence on [fluoroarene] and zero-order relationship with respect to [R3SiH]. Mechanisms are proposed for HDF of C 6F6 and C6F5H, the principal difference being that the latter occurs by initial C-H rather than C-F activation.

C-N bond activation of the N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene occurs with Ru(PPh3)3(CO)HCl to give the C-2 bound 1-isopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene complex Ru(C-IiPrHMe2/sub

Reaction of RuCl2(PPh3)3 (1) or RuHCl(PPh3)3 (2) with KOAr (Ar=4-tBuC6H4) in non-alcohol solvents affords π-aryloxide derivatives Ru(η5-ArO)(o-C6H4PPh2) (PPh3) (3a) or RuH(η5-ArO)(PPh3) 2 (6a), respectively. The phenoxide analogues 3b and 6b are obtained on use of KOPh or TlOPh. Treatment of 1 with 1 equiv. KOAr in the presence of isopropanol liberates the phenol and acetone, affording clean 2 in quantitative yields. In 3:1 methanol-CH2Cl2, RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 (4) is also formed in small amounts. Reaction of 1 with 2 KOAr in 20% MeOH-CH2Cl2 affords a mixture of 6a and RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 (5). In the corresponding reaction of 2 with 1 KOAr, σ-π isomerization of the σ-aryloxide ligand dominates, affording 6a·MeOH as the principal product. Treatment of 6a with ethereal HCl gives [RuH(η6-ArOH)(PPh3)2]Cl (7a); the corresponding reaction of 6b yields RuCl(η5-PhO)(PPh3)2 (8b). The crystal structures of 3a, 3b, 4, 5, 7a, and 8b are reported.
Multifunctional ruthenium catalysts: A novel borohydride-stabilized polyhydride complex containing the basic, chelating diphosphine 1,4-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)butane and its application to hydrogenation and Murai catalysis

[RuCl2(dcypb)(CO)]2 2 (dcypb = 1,4-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)butane) was prepared in high yield via phosphine exchange between dcypb and RuCl2(CO)PPh3)2(DMF) (1). Reaction of 2 with 8 equiv of KBHsBu3 affords [fac-RuH3(CO)(dcypb)]- (3), stabilized by interactions with a K+ counterion and an intact KBHsBu3 molecule in the third coordination sphere. Substantial ion pairing accounts for the stability and high hydrocarbon solubility of 3. Complex 3 effects reduction of benzophenone under unprecedentedly mild conditions, at 1 atm of H2 in refluxing 2-propanol. It is also active for ortho functionalization of benzophenone under 20 atm of ethylene. Stoichiometric experiments reveal facile formation of orthometalated RuH(CO)[OC(C6H4)(Ph)](dcypb) (5), an intermediate proposed in both types of catalysis. The catalytic activity of isolated 5 supports this hypothesis in the case of hydrogenation but not of Murai catalysis. The X-ray crystal structures of 3 and 5 are reported.

The catalytic addition reactions of ferrocenyl ketones with terminal olefins in the presence of Ru(H)2(CO)(PPh3)3 as catalyst have been studied. Benzoylferrocene reacts with triethoxyvinylsilane, styrene and vinylferrocene, respectively, to give 1:1 coupling products I-III in high yields. C-H bond cleavage takes place at the carbon atom of the benzene ring at the ortho position of the carbonyl group and C-C bond formation takes place at the terminal carbon atom of the olefins. 2-Furoylferrocene reacts with vinylferrocene to give a 1:1 coupling product IV and the C-H bond cleavage takes place at the carbon atom of the furan ring at the ortho position of the carbonyl group and the C-C bond formation takes place at the terminal carbon atom of vinylferrocene. The new products I-IV have been characterized by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR and MS. The X-ray crystal structure of IV has been determined.
