Synthesis and Reactivity of Aza-Dipyrrin Alkali Metal Salts
Synthesis and Reactivity of Aza-Dipyrrin Alkali Metal Salts. Diaz-Rodriguez, R.M.; Robertson, K.N.; Thompson, A. Chem. Commun. 2018, accepted, CC-COM-09-2018-007101.R1 (NSERC) DOI: 10.1039/C8CC07101BWe report the lithium, sodium and potassium salts of aza-dipyrrins and detail their use as anionic aza-dipyrrinato ligand sources in complexation. Of the three types of alkali salts studied, those of lithium are found to ... -
Synthesis of Prodigiosene-Estrogen Conjugates: optimization of protecting group strategies and anticancer properties
Marchal, E., Uddin, M. I., Hawco, C. L., & Thompson, A. (2015). Synthesis of prodigiosene–estrogen conjugates: optimization of protecting group strategies and anticancer properties. Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 93(5), 526-535. https://doi.org/10.1139/cjc-2014-0516The tripyrrolic prodigiosene skeleton was conjugated to several estrogen ligands. The conjugation was achieved via an ester linker that proved to be unusually sensitive to hydrolysis during synthesis. This work describes ... -
Synthesis of sulfenyl dipyrroles via reaction of a-free pyrroles with thionyl chloride
Beh, Michael H. R.; Smith, Craig D.; Robertson, Katherine N.; and Thompson, Alison. (2020). Synthesis of sulfenyl dipyrroles via reaction of a-free pyrroles with thionyl chloride. Canadian Journal of Chemistry, -
Synthesis of symmetric meso-H dipyrrin hydrobromides from 2-formyl pyrroles
Lund, K. L. A., & Thompson, A. (2014). Synthesis of Symmetric meso-H-Dipyrrin Hydrobromides from 2-Formylpyrroles. Synlett, 25(08), 1142-1144. DOI: 10.1055/s-0033-1341066The reaction of 2-formyl pyrroles in acidic methanol gives the corresponding symmetric, meso-H 4,6-dipyrrin hydrobromides. This convenient strategy involves initial deformylation under the acidic conditions, followed by ... -
Synthesis, properties and reactivity of BCl2 aza-BODIPY complexes and salts of the aza-dipyrrinato scaffold
Diaz-Rodriguez, R. M., Burke, L., Robertson, K. N., & Thompson, A. (2020). Synthesis, properties and reactivity of BCl 2 aza-BODIPY complexes and salts of the aza-dipyrrinato scaffold. Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 18(11), 2139-2147.The synthesis and characterisation of the BCl2-chelated complexes of both archetypal aza-dipyrrin sub- types are presented. A stepwise halogen exchange, leading to a mixed-halide Cl–B–F intermediate, is implicated in the ... -
Use of F-BODIPYs as a protection strategy for dipyrrins: optimization of BF2 removal.
Smithen, D. A., Baker, A. E., Offman, M., Crawford, S. M., Cameron, T. S., & Thompson, A. (2012). Use of F-BODIPYs as a protection strategy for dipyrrins: optimization of BF2 removal. The Journal of organic chemistry, 77(7), 3439-3453. DOI: 10.1021/jo3002003We recently reported the first general method for the deprotection of 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes (F-BODIPYs) involving a microwave-assisted procedure for the removal of the BF2 moiety, and liberation of ... -
The Use of Tin (IV) Chloride to Selectively Cleave Benzyl Esters over Benzyl Ethers and Benzyl Amines
Baker, A. E., Marchal, E., Lund, K. L. A., & Thompson, A. (2014). The use of tin (IV) chloride to selectively cleave benzyl esters over benzyl ethers and benzyl amines. Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 92(12), 1175-1185. https://doi.org/10.1139/cjc-2014-0364Benzyl esters are cleaved upon reaction with SnCl4, resulting in isolation of the corresponding carboxylic acid. Importantly, benzyl ethers, amines and amides do not undergo debenzylation under these conditions, nor do a ...
