A number of metal trifluoroacetates were reacted with the olefin 3beta-acetoxyandrost-5-en-17-one (6). Palladium(II) trifluoroacetate afforded bis[micro-trifluoroacetato(alpha-5,7-eta-3beta-acetoxyandrostenyl-17-one)palladium(II)] (20), a new ring B pi-allyl steroid-palladium complex, in quantitative yield. Thallium(III) trifluoroacetate gave 3beta-acetoxy-5alpha-hydroxy-6beta-trifluoroacetoxyandrostan-17-one (16), 3beta-acetoxy-6beta-trifluoroacetoxyandrost-4-en-17-one (9), 3beta-acetoxy-4beta-trifluoroacetoxyandrost-5-en-17-one (10), and 3beta-acetoxy-5alpha,6beta-dihydroxyandrostan-17-one (17). Lead(IV) trifluoroacetate yielded 9, 10 and 16. 3beta-Acetoxy-5alpha,6beta-bis(trifluoroacetoxy)androstan-17-one (15), a new compound, was also formed in this reaction. During the course of the lead(IV) studies the dichlorosteroid 21 and the rearranged allylic oxidation product 24 were formed. Their formation was attributed to the generation of lead(IV) chloride in the reaction. Silver(I) and copper(II) trifluoroacetates proved to be unreactive towards 6.

Acid catalyzed condensation of -alkyltripyrranes with trialdehydes derived from 1,3-cyclopentadiene or methyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene, followed by oxidation with aqueous ferric chloride solutions, gave 23-alkyl-21-carbaporphyrin-2-carbaldehydes in 22-27% yield together with weakly aromatic oxycarbaporphyrins. The carbaporphyrins reacted with palladium(II) acetate or nickel(II) acetate to give organometallic complexes but in both cases alkyl group migration took place to generate 21-alkyl derivatives. Although this type of reactivity had been observed previously for palladium complexes, this is the first time the phenomenon has been seen in nickel(II) carbaporphyrins.

Efficient catalytic systems for various organic transformations in green solvents, especially water, are in great demand. Catalytically active bis-NHC complexes of palladium(II) based on imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid with different lipophilicities were obtained. The synthesis of imidazolium salts was complicated by the formation of side products of nucleophilic substitution by iodide ions in the Menshutkin reaction involving alkyl iodides, which was successfully resolved by using alkyl tosylates.

Two novel SNS-donor palladium(II) complexes of benzoxazole and benzothiazole derivatives as potential anticancer agents.

Dalton Trans

Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Chemical Materials and Devices of Ministry of Education, School of Optoelectronic Materials and Technologies, Jianghan University, Wuhan 430056, P. R. China.

Two novel mononuclear palladium(II) complexes, [PdL1Cl]Cl (1) and [PdL2Cl]Cl (2) with SNS-donor ligands [where L1 = -(4-(benzo[]oxazol-2-yl)phenyl)-2-(bis(2-ethylthioethyl)amino)acetamide, L2 = -(4-(benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl)-2-(bis(2-ethylthioethyl)amino)acetamide], were synthesized and characterized. antiproliferative activity tests showed that the two palladium(II) complexes displayed excellent antiproliferative activity against all tested cancer cell lines, especially human colon cancer HCT-116, human liver cancer HepG-2, and human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Spectacularly, complexes 1 and 2 exhibited approximately 8.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on creating environmentally friendly mesoporous silica supports for palladium catalysts using bio-based surfactants, specifically a combination of cashew nut shell liquid and castor oil.
  • It involved the co-condensation of specific silane compounds to form porous materials, with varying ratios of the surfactants influencing pore structure and surface area.
  • Characterization techniques confirmed successful synthesis and effective palladium loading, with the most efficient ratios yielding notable improvements in catalyst properties.

Article Synopsis
  • - A new type of redox-active arylazoformamide (AAF) ligands has been developed and used in palladium(II) precatalysts to enhance the efficiency of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.
  • - The study found that using a 1.0 mol % (AAF)PdCl precatalyst with cesium carbonate in 1,4-dioxane at 90 °C for 24 hours resulted in excellent conversions to biphenyl products across numerous examples.
  • - In comparisons with other palladium and nickel complexes, the (AAF)PdCl complexes consistently outperformed others, suggesting they provide a novel and effective approach for redox-active palladium cross-coupling
