GOLD COMPLEXES
-
Paragraph 0112, (2013/03/26)
Gold (I) hydroxide complexes of the form Z-Au-OH and digold complexes of the form Z—Au-(μOH)—Au—Z where groups Z are two electron donors are provided. The groups Z may be carbenes, for example nitrogen containing heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), phosphines or phosphites. The complexes can be used as catalysts, for example in reactions such as hydration of nitriles, skeletal arrangement of enynes, alkoxycyclisation of enynes, alkyne hydration, the Meyer-Shuster reaction, 3,3′ rearrangement of allylic acetates, cyclisation of propargylic acetates, Beckman rearrangements and hydroamination. The complexes can be used in medicine, for example in the treatment of cancer.

The synthesis of a series of dinuclear gold hydroxide complexes has been achieved. These complexes of type [{Au(IPr)}2(Iμ-OH)]X (X=BF 4, NTf2, OTf, FABA, SbF6; IPr=2,6- bis(disopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; NTf2= bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidate; OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate; FABA=tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate) are easily formed in the presence of water and prove highly efficient in the catalytic hydration of nitriles. Their facile formation in aqueous media suggests they are of relevance in gold-catalyzed reactions involving water. Additionally, a series of [Au(IPr)(NCR)][BF4] (R=alkyl, aryl) complexes was synthesized as they possibly occur as intermediates in the catalytic reaction mechanism. 1H and 13C NMR data as well as key bond lengths obtained by X-ray diffraction studies are compared and reveal an interesting structure-activity relationship. The collected data indicate a negligible effect of the nature of the nitrile on the reactivity of [Au(L)(NCR)][X] complexes in catalysis.

Six amino acid derivatives of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-2-aminopropanes and their parent amines were synthezised and tested for their potency and selectivity in inhibiting monoamine oxidase (MAO) in vitro and in vivo. The amino acid derivatives were 300-1000 times less potent than the parent amines in inhibiting the MAO-A activity in a rat brain mitochondrial preparation in vitro. All compounds, except the (R)-valinamide derivative (22), were potent inhibitors of MAO in the rat brain in vivo and were, like the parent amines markedly more potent within the monoaminergic neurons than in other neurons. The glycinamide derivative 7 showed the largest difference between intra- and extra-neuronal inhibition in serotonergic neurons. The time course of the inhibitory effect of 7 in vivo showed that it is a reversible inhibitor with a long duration.
