Title: Tritium hydrogen‐isotope exchange with electron‐poor tertiary benzenesulfonamide moiety; application in late‐stage labeling of T0901317
The multifunctional radioligand [3H]T0901317 ([3H]1) has been employed as a powerful autoradiographic tool to target several receptors, such as liver X, farnesoid X, and retinoic acid‐related orphan receptor alpha and gamma subtypes at nanomolar concentrations. Although [3H]1is commercially available and its synthesis via tritiodebromination has been reported, the market price of this radioligand and the laborious synthesis of corresponding bromo‐intermediate potentially preclude its widespread use in biochemical, pharmacological, and pathological studies in research lab settings. We exploit recent reports on hydrogen‐isotope exchange (HIE) reactions in tertiary benzenesulfonamides where the sulfonamide represents anortho‐directing group that facilitates CH activation in the presence of homogenous iridium(I) catalysts. Herein, we report a time‐ and cost‐efficient method for the tritium late‐stage labeling of compound1—a remarkably electron‐poor substrate owing to the tertiary trifluoroethylsulfonamide moiety. Under a straightforward HIE condition using a commercially available Kerr‐type NHC Ir(I) complex, [(cod)Ir (NHC)Cl], the reaction with1afforded a specific activity of 10.8 Ci/mmol. Additionally, alternative HIE conditions using the heterogeneous catalyst of Ir‐black provided sufficient 0.72 D‐enrichment of1but unexpectedly failed while repeating with tritium gas.  more » « less

  1. 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. Thetrans‐[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 band4 b, were obtained by treating3 aand4 a, respectively, with AgOTf in CH3CN. Furthermore, bis‐alkynyltrans‐[Co(TIM)(C2R)2]PF6complexes,3 cand4 c, were generated following a second dehydrohalogenation reaction between3 band4 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.

  2. Abstract The production of olefins via on‐purpose dehydrogenation of alkanes allows for a more efficient, selective and lower cost alternative to processes such as steam cracking. Silica‐supported pincer‐iridium complexes of the form [(≡SiO−R4POCOP)Ir(CO)] (R4POCOP=κ3‐C6H3‐2,6‐(OPR2)2) are effective for acceptorless alkane dehydrogenation, and have been shown stable up to 300 °C. However, while solution‐phase analogues of such species have demonstrated high regioselectivity for terminal olefin production under transfer dehydrogenation conditions at or below 240 °C, in open systems at 300 °C, regioselectivity under acceptorless dehydrogenation conditions is consistently low. In this work, complexes [(≡SiO−tBu4POCOP)Ir(CO)] (1) and [(≡SiO−iPr4PCP)Ir(CO)] (2) were synthesized via immobilization of molecular precursors. These complexes were used for gas‐phase butane transfer dehydrogenation using increasingly sterically demanding olefins, resulting in observed selectivities of up to 77 %. The results indicate that the active site is conserved upon immobilization.

  3. Abstract A series of new isoxazole‐substituted aryl iodides1 a–1 dhave been synthesized by DIB‐mediated [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of 2‐iodo‐1,3‐bis(prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy) benzene (4) with corresponding benzaldehyde oximes5 a–5 d. Structure of the synthesized aryl iodides1were characterized by IR,1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS. The structure of1 awas also confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. Further, catalytic activity of iodoarenes1 a–1 dwas screened for the oxidation of hydroquinones and sulfides. On oxidation using aryl iodides1withm‐CPBA as terminal oxidant, hydroquinones afforded benzoquinones while sulfides gave corresponding sulfoxides in good to excellent yields. Iodoarene1 bshowed the best catalytic activity for the oxidation of sulfides and hydroquinones. Moreover, iodoarene1 b, was also utilized for α‐oxytosylation of acetophenones.

    A series of five coordinated iron bis(dithiolene) complexes [Fe(NHC)(S 2 C 2 R 2 ) 2 ] (R = C 6 H 5 or C 6 H 4 - p -OCH 3 ) containing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) (NHC = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene or 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene) were isolated in high yield (84–92%). The iron complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The combination of cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemical analysis revealed that iron complexes undergo Fe–C NHC bond cleavage and release NHC upon subjection to electrochemical reduction. The electrochemically released NHC was trapped using 1-naphthylisothiocyanate and the adduct was isolated in nearly quantitative yield (∼99%). As a proof of concept, the electrochemically released NHC was subsequently used as a catalyst for synthesis of γ-butyrolactones from commercially available cinnamaldehydes.

  5. The reactions of triphenylsulfonium chloride ([TPS][Cl]) with various acids in methanol yield the corresponding salts triphenylsulfonium triiodide, C18H15S+·I3or [TPS][I3] (I), triphenylsulfonium perchlorate, C18H15S+·ClO4or [TPS][ClO4] (II), and triphenylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate, C18H15S+·PF6or [TPS][PF6] (III), as crystalline products. These crystals were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all three compounds, the sulfur atom in the triphenylsulfonium cation adopts a distorted trigonal–pyramidal geometry. [TPS][I3] (I) and [TPS][PF6](III) both crystallize in the space groupP21/n, while [TPS][ClO4] (II) crystallizes inP21. The S—C bond lengths are comparable across the three salts, and the S—C—S bond angles are consistently between 102 and 106°. Hirshfeld surface analyses reveal that each structure is dominated by hydrogen-based intermolecular contacts, supplemented by anion-specific interactions such as I...H in (I), O...H in (II), and F...H in (III). These contacts organize the ions into mono-periodic ribbon- or chain-like arrangements. No significant π–π stacking is observed.
