Synthesis, structure and N-N bonding character of 1,1-disubstituted indazolium hexafluorophosphate

N-N(+) Bond-Forming Intramolecular Cyclization of O-Tosyloxy β-Aminopropioamidoximes and Ion Exchange Reaction for the Synthesis of 2-Aminospiropyrazolilammonium Chlorides and Hexafluorophosphates

Our research area is related to the spiropyrazolinium-containingcompounds, which are insufficiently studied compared with pyrazoline-containing compounds. Nitrogen-containing azoniaspiromolecules have also been well studied. In drug design and other areas, they are a priori important structures, since rigid spirocyclic scaffolds with the reduced conformational entropy are able to organize a closely spaced area. Azoniaspirostructures are currently of wide practical interest as ionic liquids, current sources (membranes), structure-directing agents in organocatalysis, and in the synthesis of ordered ceramics. Our goal was the synthesis of 2-aminospiropyrazolilammonium chlorides and hexafluorophosphates. Our methodology is based on the tosylation of β-aminopropioamidoximes with six-membered N-heterocycles (piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine, and phenylpiperazine) at the β-position. 2-Aminospiropyrazolilammonium chlorides and hexafluorophosphates were obtained by the reaction of double ion substitution in the reaction of toluenesulfonates of 2-aminospiropyrazolinium compounds with an ethereal solution of HCl in ethanol and with ammonium hexafluorophosphate in ethanol in quantitative yields of 55-97%. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized compounds and their IR and NMR spectra are presented. The obtained salts were additionally characterized by the single-crystal XRD analysis. The presence of both axial and equatorial conformations of spirocations in solids was confirmed. 2-Aminospiropyrazolilammonium chlorides and hexafluorophosphates have weak in vitro antimicrobial activity on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial lines.

Reaction Products of β-Aminopropioamidoximes Nitrobenzenesulfochlorination: Linear and Rearranged to Spiropyrazolinium Salts with Antidiabetic Activity

Nitrobenzenesulfochlorination of β-aminopropioamidoximes leads to a set of products depending on the structure of the initial interacting substances and reaction conditions. Amidoximes, functionalized at the terminal C atom with six-membered N-heterocycles (piperidine, morpholine, thiomorpholine and phenylpiperazine), as a result of the spontaneous intramolecular heterocyclization of the intermediate reaction product of an SN2 substitution of a hydrogen atom in the oxime group of the amidoxime fragment by a nitrobenzenesulfonyl group, produce spiropyrazolinium ortho- or para-nitrobenzenesulfonates. An exception is ortho-nitrobenzenesulfochlorination of β-(thiomorpholin-1-yl)propioamidoxime, which is regioselective at room temperature, producing two spiropyrazolinium salts (ortho-nitrobezenesulfonate and chloride), and regiospecific at the boiling point of the solvent, when only chloride is formed. The para-Nitrobezenesulfochlorination of β-(benzimidazol-1-yl)propioamidoxime, due to the reduced nucleophilicity of the aromatic β-amine nitrogen atom, is regiospecific at both temperatures, and produces the O-para-nitrobenzenesulfochlorination product. The antidiabetic screening of the new nitrobezenesulfochlorination amidoximes found promising samples with in vitro α-glucosidase activity higher than the reference drug acarbose. 1H-NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis revealed the slow inversion of six-membered heterocycles, and experimentally confirmed the presence of an unfavorable stereoisomer with an axial N–N bond in the pyrazolinium heterocycle.

Energy transfer from Er to Nd ions by the thermal effect and promotion of the photocatalysis of the NaYF4:Yb,Er,Nd/W18O49 heterostructure

The NaYF4:Yb,Er/W18O49 heterostructure is an excellent photocatalyst that can promote H2 evolution by hydrolyzing BH3NH3 under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. At the same time, the photothermal effect can be produced in photocatalytic reactions, which will cause the luminescence efficiency and photocatalytic activity to decrease. Determining how to take advantage of that photothermal effect becomes a major problem. Moreover, the energy transfer (ET) process from Er ions to Nd ions in NaYF4 co-doped with Yb/Er/Nd ions (NaYF4:Yb,Er,Nd) occurred at high temperature. Herein, the NaYF4:Yb,Er,Nd/W18O49 quasi-core-shell heterostructure was designed to achieve better H2 production capacity; this heterostructure exhibits a 1.5-fold enhancement of photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution as compared with the NaYF4:Yb,Er/W18O49 heterostructure. This study provides a new way to explore the catalytic activities in the NIR field for application in the development of a sustainable energy source.
