Phosphorus-nitrogen compounds. Part 23: syntheses, structural investigations, biological activities, and DNA interactions of new N/O spirocyclotriphosphazenes.

The Schiff base compounds (1 and 2) are synthesized by the condensation reactions of 2-furan-2-yl-methylamine with 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy- and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-benzaldehydes and reduced with NaBH(4) to give the new N/O-donor-type ligands (3 and 4). The monospirocyclotriphosphazenes containing 1,3,2-oxazaphosphorine rings (5 and 6) are prepared from the reactions of N(3)P(3)Cl(6) with 3 and 4, respectively. The reactions of 5 and 6 with excess pyrrolidine, morpholine, and 1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro [4,5] decane (DASD) produce tetrapyrrolidino (5a and 6a), morpholino (5b and 6b), and 1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro [4,5] deca (5c and 6c) spirocyclotriphosphazenes. The structural investigations of the compounds are examined by (1)H, (13)C, (31)P NMR, DEPT, HSQC, and HMBC techniques. The solid-state structures of 5, 5a, and 6 are determined using X-ray crystallography. The compounds 5a, 5b, 5c, 6a, 6b, and 6c are subjected to antimicrobial activity against six patojen bacteria and two yeast strains. In addition, interactions between these compounds and pBR322 plasmid DNA are presented by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Synthesis, spectroscopic studies and structures of square-planar nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes derived from 2-{(Z)-[furan-2-ylmethyl]imino]methyl}-6-methoxyphenol.

Two new nickel(II) [Ni(L)(2)] and copper(II) [Cu(L)(2)] complexes have been synthesized with bidentate NO donor Schiff base ligand (2-{(Z)-[furan-2-ylmethyl]imino]methyl}-6-methoxyphenol) (HL) and both complexes Ni(L)(2) and Cu(L)(2) have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-vis, (1)H, (13)C NMR, mass spectroscopy and room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement. The tautomeric equilibria (phenol-imine, O-H...N and keto-amine, O...H-N forms) have been systemetically studied by using UV-vis absorption spectra for the ligand HL. The UV-vis spectra of this ligand HL were recorded and commented in polar, non-polar, acidic and basic media. The crystal structures of these complexes have also been determined by using X-ray crystallographic techniques. The complexes Ni(L)(2) and Cu(L)(2) crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n and P2(1)/c with unit cell parameters: a=10.4552(3)A and 12.1667(4)A, b=8.0121(3)A and 10.4792(3)A, c=13.9625(4)A and 129.6616(3)A, V=1155.22(6)A(3) and 1155.22(6)A(3), D(x)=1.493 and 1.476 g cm(-3) and Z=2 and 2, respectively. The crystal structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares to a find R=0.0377 and 0.0336 of for 2340 and 2402 observed reflections, respectively.

Synthesis, Spectroscopic, Spectrophotometric and Crystallographic Investigations of 4-{[(1E)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylene]amino}-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one and 4-{[(1E)-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)methylene]amino}-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one.

Two new Schiff base ligands 4-[(1E)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylene]amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (1) and 4-[(1E)-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)methylene]amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (2) have been prepared and characterized using elemental analysis, UV-vis, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallographic technique. Tautomeric equilibria (phenol-imine, O-H...N and keto-amine, O...H-N forms) have been studied by using UV-vis absorption spectra for the compound 2 in some solutions. Crystal structure analyses showed that the title molecules 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c and P21 with the unit cell parameters: a = 12.5665(3) Å and 5.6666(2) Å; b = 10.4791(2) Å and 12.2444(5) Å; c = 14.6240(3) Å and 12.1556(4) Å; V =1820.65(7) Å3 and 826.84(5) Å3; Dx = 1.282 g.cm-3 and 1.355 g.cm-3; and Z = 4 and 2, respectively.

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new Schiff bases containing the benzo-15-crown-5 moiety.

New crown ether Schiff base derivatives were prepared by the condensation of 4'-formylbenzo-15-crown-5 or 4'-formyl-5'-hydroxybenzo-15-crown-5 with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane. The structures of these new compounds were confirmed on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, (1)H- and (13)C-NMR, UV-Vis and mass spectroscopic data.
