d ][1,3]dioxin-4-yl)methanol derivatives are reported, namely, 4-[(methylsulfonyloxy)methyl]-2,4,4a,6,8,8a-hexahydro-[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d ][1,3]dioxine, C8H14O7S,1 , 4-[(benzyloxy)methyl]-2,4,4a,6,8,8a-hexahydro-[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d ][1,3]dioxine, C14H18O5,2 , and 4-[(anilinocarbonyl)methyl]-2,4,4a,6,8,8a-hexahydro-[1,3]dioxino[5,4-d ][1,3]dioxine, C14H17NO6,3 . Mesylate ester1 at 173 K has triclinicP \overline{1} symmetry and both benzyl ether2 at 173 K and phenyl urethane3 have monoclinicP 21/c symmetry. These structures are of interest because of the conformation of thecis -fused tetraoxadecalin ring system. Thiscis -bicyclo[4.4.0]decane ring system,i.e. cis -decalin, can undergo conformational equilibration. In the two most stable conformers, both six-membered rings adopt a chair conformation. However, there are significant consequences in these two stable conformers, with heteroatom substitution at the 1,3,5,7-ring positions as described. Only one conformation, denoted as `concave' or `inside', is found in these crystal structures. This is consistent with previously reported structures of the 1,1-geminal dihydroxy aldehyde and tosylate analogs. -

Abstract Reduction of the cobalt(II) chloride complex, Ph2B(tBuIm)2Co(THF)Cl (
1 ) in the presence oftBuN≡C affords the diamagnetic, square planar cobalt(I) complex Ph2B(tBuIm)2Co(C≡NtBu)2(2 ). This is a rare example of a 16‐electron cobalt(I) complex that is structurally related to square planar noble metal complexes. Accordingly, the electronic structure of2 , as calculated by DFT, reveals that the HOMO is largely dz 2in character. Complex2 is readily oxidized to its cobalt(II) congener [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Co(C=NtBu)2]BPh4(3 ‐BPh4), whose EPR spectral parameters are characteristic of low‐spin d7with an unpaired electron in an orbital of dz 2parentage. This is also consistent with the results of DFT calculations. Despite its 16‐electron configuration and the dz2parentage of the HOMO, the only tractable reactions of2 involve one electron oxidation to afford3 . -

Abstract A new series of mono‐ and bis‐alkynyl CoIII(TIM) complexes (TIM=2,3,9,10‐tetramethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradeca‐1,3,8,10‐tetraene) is reported herein. The
trans ‐[Co(TIM)(C2R)Cl]+complexes were prepared from the reaction betweentrans ‐[Co(TIM)Cl2]PF6and HC2R (R=tri(isopropyl)silyl or TIPS (1 ), ‐C6H4‐4‐tBu (2 ), ‐C6H4‐4‐NO2(3 a ), andN ‐mesityl‐1,8‐naphthalimide or NAPMes(4 a )) in the presence of Et3N. The intermediate complexes of the typetrans ‐[Co(TIM)(C2R)(NCMe)](PF6)(OTf),3 b and4 b , were obtained by treating3 a and4 a , respectively, with AgOTf in CH3CN. Furthermore, bis‐alkynyltrans ‐[Co(TIM)(C2R)2]PF6complexes,3 c and4 c , were generated following a second dehydrohalogenation reaction between3 b and4 b , respectively, and the appropriate HC2R in the presence of Et3N. These new complexes have been characterized using X‐ray diffraction (2 ,3 a ,4 a , and4 c ), IR,1H NMR, UV/Vis spectroscopy, fluorescent spectroscopy (4 c ), and cyclic voltammetry. -

Abstract We report investigations of the use of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) macrocycles as an antidote to counteract the in vivo biological effects of phencyclidine. We investigate the binding of CB[8] and its derivative Me4CB[8] toward ten drugs of abuse (
3 –9 ,12 –14 ) by a combination of1H NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry in phosphate buffered water. We find that the cavity of CB[8] and Me4CB[8] are able to encapsulate the 1‐amino‐1‐aryl‐cyclohexane ring system of phencyclidine (PCP) and ketamine as well as the morphinan skeleton of morphine and hydromorphone withK dvalues ≤50 nm . In vitro cytotoxicity (MTS metabolic and adenylate kinase cell death assays in HEK293 and HEPG2 cells) and in vivo maximum tolerated dose studies (Swiss Webster mice) which were performed for Me4CB[8] indicated good tolerability. The tightest host⋅guest pair (Me4CB[8]⋅PCP;K d=2 nm ) was advanced to in vivo efficacy studies. The results of open field tests demonstrate that pretreatment of mice with Me4CB[8] prevents subsequent hyperlocomotion induction by PCP and also that treatment of animals previously dosed with PCP with Me4CB[8] significantly reduces the locomotion levels. -

Abstract The dialkyl malonate derived 1,3‐diphosphines R2C(CH2PPh2)2(R=
a , Me;b , Et;c ,n ‐Bu;d ,n ‐Dec;e , Bn;f ,p ‐tolCH2) are combined with (p ‐tol3P)2PtCl2ortrans ‐(p‐ tol3P)2Pt((C≡C)2H)2to give the chelatescis ‐(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)PtCl2(2 a –f , 94–69 %) orcis ‐(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt((C≡C)2H)2(3 a –f , 97–54 %). Complexes3 a –d are also available from2 a –d and excess 1,3‐butadiyne in the presence of CuI (cat.) and excess HNEt2(87–65 %). Under similar conditions,2 and3 react to give the title compounds [(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)[Pt(C≡C)2]4(4 a –f ; 89–14 % (64 % avg)), from which ammonium salts such as the co‐product [H2NEt2]+Cl−are challenging to remove. Crystal structures of4 a ,b show skew rhombus as opposed to square Pt4geometries. The NMR and IR properties of4 a –f are similar to those of mono‐ or diplatinum model compounds. However, cyclic voltammetry gives only irreversible oxidations. As compared to mono‐platinum or Pt(C≡C)2Pt species, the UV‐visible spectra show much more intense and red‐shifted bands. Time dependent DFT calculations define the transitions and principal orbitals involved. Electrostatic potential surface maps reveal strongly negative Pt4C16cores that likely facilitate ammonium cation binding. Analogous electronic properties of Pt3C12and Pt5C20homologs and selected equilibria are explored computationally.
