Diastereospecific and Diastereoselective Syntheses of Ruthenium(II) Complexes Using N,N‘ Bidentate Ligands Aryl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amine ArNH-CH2-2-C5H4N and Their Oxidation to Imine Ligands
摘要:
Coordination of N,N' bidentate ligands aryl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amine ArNH-CH2-2-C5H4N 1 (Ar = 4-CH3-C6H4, 1a; 4-CH3O-C6H4, 1b; 2,6-(CH3)(2)-C6H3, 1c; 4-CF3-C6H4, 1d) to the moieties [Ru(bipy)(2)](2+), [Ru(eta(5)-C5H5)L](+) (L = CH3CN, CO), or [RU(eta(6)-arene)Cl](2+) (arene = benzene, p-cymene) occurs under diastereoselective or diastereospecific conditions. Detailed stereochemical analysis of the new complexes is included. The coordination of these secondary amine ligands activates their oxidation to imines by molecular oxygen in a base-catalyzed reaction and hydrogen peroxide was detected as byproduct. The amine-to-imine oxidation was also observed under the experimental conditions of cyclic voltammetry measurements. Deprotonation of the coordinated amine ligands afforded isolatable amido complexes only for the ligand (1-methyl-1-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-p-tolyl-amine, 1e, which doesn't contain hydrogen atoms in a beta position relative to the N-H bond. The structures of [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)(2)(1b)](PF6)(2), 2b; [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine)(2)(1c)](PF6)(2), 2c; trans-[RuCl2(COD)(1a)], 3; and [RuCl2(eta(6)-C6H6)(1a)]PF6, 4a, have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies.

Chemotherapy is limited by the poor selectivitytowardscancercells over normal cells. Herein, we designed half-sandwich ruthenium imino-pyridyl complexes [(η6-bz)Ru(N^N)Cl]PF6 to achieve selective cytotoxicity to cancercells. This kind of rutheniumcomplexes has unique characteristics and is worthy of further exploration in the design of new anticancer drugs.

A half-sandwich complex salt of ruthenium containing the Schiff base ligand, 2, 6-dimethyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)aniline has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The complex salt 1, [(eta(C6H6)-C-6)RuCl(C5H4NCH=N(2,6-(CH3)(2)C6H3)]PF6 was obtained from the reaction of the ruthenium arene precursor, [(eta(6)-C6H6)Ru(mu-Cl)Cl](2) with the Schiff base in a 1:2 ratio followed by treatment with NH4PF6. Its acetone solvate 2, [(eta(6)-C6H6)RuCl(C5H4NCH=N (2, 6- (CH3)(2)C6H3)]PF6, (CH3)(2)CO was obtained by recrystallization of 1 from a solution of hexane and acetone. 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic P2(1)/c and P2(1)/n space groups as blocks and as prisms respectively. The ruthenium centers in 1 and 2 are coordinated to the bidentate Schiff base, to a chloride atom, and to the arene ring to give a pseudo octahedral geometry around them. The whole arrangement is referred to as the familiar three-legged piano stool in which the Schiff base and the Cl atom serve as the base while the arene ring serve as the apex of the stool. Polymorph 2 has an acetone molecule in the asymmetric unit. Of interest is the similar behavior of the solvate on heating which shows the crystals shuttering at about 531.6 and 523.4 K for 1 and 2 respectively. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
