Chelate 5-membered

Mechanism of Action A chelating agent that contains two sulfhydryl groups that form a stable, nontoxic chelate 5-membered heterocyclic ring with heavy metals. Therapeutic Effect Prevents the metal from combining with sulfhydryl groups on physiologic proteins and keeps them inactive until they can be excreted. 

Unfortunately, addition of copper(II)nitrate to a solution of 4.42 in water did not result in the formation of a significant amount of complex, judging from the unchanged UV-vis absorption spectrum. Also after addition of Yb(OTf)3 or Eu(N03)3 no indications for coordination were observed. Apparently, formation of a six-membered chelate ring containing an amine and a ketone functionality is not feasible for these metal ions. Note that 4.13 features a similar arrangement and in aqueous solutions, likewise, does not coordinate significantly to all the Lewis acids that have been... 

The carbopalladation of allylamine with malonate affords the chelating complex 510, which undergoes insertion of methyl vinyl ketone to form the amino enone 511[463]. The allylic sulfide 512 has the same chelating effect to give the five-membered complex 513 by carbopalladation[463.464]. 

Usually, iodides and bromides are used for the carbonylation, and chlorides are inert. I lowever, oxidative addition of aryl chlorides can be facilitated by use of bidcntatc phosphine, which forms a six-membered chelate structure and increa.scs (he electron density of Pd. For example, benzoate is prepared by the carbonylation of chlorobenzene using bis(diisopropylphosphino)propane (dippp) (456) as a ligand at 150 [308]. The use of tricyclohexylphosphine for the carbonylation of neat aryl chlorides in aqueous KOH under biphasic conditions is also recommended[309,310]. 

Particularly alkyl halides which have a perfluoroalkyl group at the /3-position undergo smooth carbonylation. Probably the coordination of fluorine to form a five-membered chelate ring accelerates the reaction. Double carbonylation to give the a-keto amide 915 is possible in Et NH with the fluorine-bearing alkyl iodide 914[769,770]. The ester 917 is obtained by the carbonylation of the /3-perfluoroalkyl iodide 916 in ethanol. 

EthylenediaminetetraaceticAcid. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTAH has six potential donor groups two nitrogen atoms and four carboxylate groups. If EDTA 4— acts as a hexadentate ligand to a metal, the resulting complex contains five five-membered chelate rings and has a charge that is four less than that of the metal ion. 

Sdanediols, eg, (CgH )2Si(OH)2 and H0Si(CgH )20Si(CgH )20H, yield four-and-six-membered rings with titanium alkoxides. Pinacols and 1,2-diols form chelates rather than polymers. The more branched the diol molecule, the more likely are its titanium derivatives to be soluble and even monomeric. 

Thermal stability is enhanced in chelates thus dimethyl-2-methy1pentane-2,4-dio1titanium [23916-35-0] (22) is much more stable than (CH2)3Ti(OCH(CH2)2)2 (68)- The stmcture of the former has been shown by x-ray diffraction to be dimeric and five-coordinate through oxygen bridges. The more highly substituted the six-membered ring, the mote thermally stable the compound. 

Chelated oxo structures were assigned to 5-hydroxy-4-acyl-l,3-oxazoles on the basis of their NMR spectra, the preference being given to the con-former 249a with a six-membered chelate ring (Scheme 86) (75BSB845). 

KPFfi differently, yielding 225 and 226, respectively. In turn, the same combination of the reactants but with the ligrmd 227 gives species 228 with the eight-membered chelate cycle. 

Ketone 13 possesses the requisite structural features for an a-chelation-controlled carbonyl addition reaction.9-11 Treatment of 13 with 3-methyl-3-butenylmagnesium bromide leads, through the intermediacy of a five-membered chelate, to the formation of intermediate 12 together with a small amount of the C-12 epimer. The degree of stereoselectivity (ca. 50 1 in favor of the desired compound 12) exhibited in this substrate-stereocontrolled addition reaction is exceptional. It is instructive to note that sequential treatment of lactone 14 with 3-methyl-3-butenylmagnesium bromide and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride, followed by exposure of the resultant ketone to methylmagnesium bromide, produces the C-12 epimer of intermediate 12 with the same 50 1 stereoselectivity. 

When, however, the ligand molecule or ion has two atoms, each of which has a lone pair of electrons, then the molecule has two donor atoms and it may be possible to form two coordinate bonds with the same metal ion such a ligand is said to be bidentate and may be exemplified by consideration of the tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) complex, [Co(en)3]3+. In this six-coordinate octahedral complex of cobalt(III), each of the bidentate ethylenediamine molecules is bound to the metal ion through the lone pair electrons of the two nitrogen atoms. This results in the formation of three five-membered rings, each including the metal ion the process of ring formation is called chelation. 

However, EDTA has the widest general application in analysis because of its powerful complexing action and commercial availability. The spatial structure of its anion, which has six donor atoms, enables it to satisfy the coordination number of six frequently encountered among the metal ions and to form strainless five-membered rings on chelation. The resulting complexes have similar structures but differ from one another in the charge they carry. 

Ring size. Five- or six-membered conjugated chelate rings are most stable since these have minimum straia The functional groups of the ligand must be so situated that they permit the formation of a stable ring. 

In contrast to the results obtained with the jS-alkoxy-a-alkyl-y-lactol 16 (vide supra), a chelation-directed, anti-Cram selective nucleophilic addition to the a-methyl-y-lactol 1 was not only observed with methyllithium and methylmagnesium bromide but also with (triisopropoxy)methyl-titanium72. In fact, the highest diastereoselectivity (> 98 % de) was observed with the titanium reagent in dichloromethane as reaction solvent. A seven-membered chelate 3 with the a-methyl substituent in a pscudoequatorial position has been postulated in order to explain the stereochemical outcome.
