Chemistry 2025; 31:e202403736. [PMID: 39482248 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202403736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2024] [Revised: 10/29/2024] [Accepted: 10/30/2024] [Indexed: 11/03/2024]
Abstract
The activation of various homopropargylic pyridines by cis-[RuII/OsII(dppm)2Cl2] (dppm=1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) has previously been shown to generate a diverse array of metallacycles and metalated heterocyclic complexes. However, a minor structural modification of introducing a halide onto the pyridyl group of the alkyne substrate resulted in the formation of unprecedented Ru(II)/Os(II)-haloquinolizine complexes. These complexes display (1) κ2(X,C)-haloquinolizine chelates arising from the cycloisomerization of HC≡CC(OH)(CH2(6-X-2-py))(Ph) on [RuII/OsII(dppm)2]2+ moieties via a vinylidene pathway, (2) five-membered Ru/Os-X-C-N-C rings (X=F, Cl, Br) ortho- and peri-fused to quinolizinium skeletons, and (3) uncommon M-X-R bonding interactions that are atypical in coordination complexes. Despite being divalent and integrated into a five-membered Ru-X-C-N-C ring system, the X atoms in the Ru(II) complexes are susceptible to substitution by O in the presence of -OH, resulting in the formation of quinolizinium-fused ruthenaoxazole complexes. Overall, this work highlights the importance of considering metal-halocarbon bonding interactions in catalytic or coordination designs.

Abstract
The cyclization of heteroatom-functionalized alkynes induced by d6-transition-metal centers has traditionally been associated with the vinylidene pathway. However, recent evidence suggests that d6-transition-metal centers can also activate alkynes through non-vinylidene pathways. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation into the reactions between the Ru(II) complex [Ru([9]aneS3)(bpy)(OH2)]2+ and 2-alkynylanilines. Our study revealed that the selectivity between the vinylidene and non-vinylidene pathways can be tuned by reaction temperature, substrate, and solvent polarity. This strategic control allows for the preferential formation of either C2- or C3-metalated indole zwitterion complexes. Additionally, we identified a rare decyclization mechanism that enables the conversion of C2-metalated indoles to C3-metalated indoles, underscoring the significance of product stability in these pathways. Overall, this work demonstrates practical approaches to control the preference between vinylidene and non-vinylidene pathways, which is crucial for the design of new catalysts and metalated heterocyclic complexes.

Abstract
Cationic aza-heterocycle-fused compounds have gained wide applications in materials science, biological applications, and synthetic organic chemistry. In this report, synthesis of benzothiazolochromenopyridinium tetrafluoroborates, a novel molecular scaffold, bearing 6-6-6-5-6 pentacyclic core is described that proceeds via (i) piperidine-catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation between 2-propargyloxyarylaldehydes bearing internal alkynes and 2-benzothiazoleacetonitrile, (ii) intramolecular formal [4 + 2]-cycloaddition, and (iii) crucial molecular oxygen-mediated oxidative aromatization reaction sequence in one pot. These quaternary pyridinium salts are obtained at ambient temperature in good to high yields.

Abstract
Mononuclear and dinuclear Ru(II) complexes cis-[Ru(κ2-dppm)(bpy)Cl2] (1), cis-[Ru(κ2-dppe)(bpy)Cl2] (2) and [Ru2(bpy)2(μ-dpam)2(μ-Cl)2](Cl)2 ([3](Cl)2) were prepared from the reactions between cis(Cl), cis(S)-[Ru(bpy)(dmso-S)2Cl2] and diphosphine/diarsine ligands (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; dppm = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane; dpam = 1,1-bis(diphenylarsino)methane). While methoxy-substituted ruthenafuran [Ru(bpy)(κ2-dppe)(C^O)]+ ([7]+; C^O = anionic bidentate [C(OMe)CHC(Ph)O]− chelate) was obtained as the only product in the reaction between 2 and phenyl ynone HC≡C(C=O)Ph in MeOH, replacing 2 with 1 led to the formation of both methoxy-substituted ruthenafuran [Ru(bpy)(κ2-dppm)(C^O)]+ ([4]+) and phosphonium-ring-fused bicyclic ruthenafuran [Ru(bpy)(P^C^O)Cl]+ ([5]+; P^C^O = neutral tridentate [(Ph)2PCH2P(Ph)2CCHC(Ph)O] chelate). All of these aforementioned metallafuran complexes were derived from Ru(II)–vinylidene intermediates. The potential applications of these metallafuran complexes as anticancer agents were evaluated by in vitro cytotoxicity studies against cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cancer cell line. All the ruthenafuran complexes were found to be one order of magnitude more cytotoxic than cisplatin, which is one of the metal-based anticancer agents being widely used currently.

Abstract
Reactions between pyridine-functionalized alkynes and an Fe(ii) precursor supported by 2,5,8-trithia[9](2,9)-1,10-phenanthrolinophane afforded the first Fe(ii)-indolizine and -indolizinone complexes. Structural analysis and theoretical calculations revealed the existence of unconventional "non-vinylidene" pathways and challenged the generality of vinylidene intermediacy in Fe(ii)-induced alkyne transformations.
