Abstract
: This study aimed to describe the preparation of novel PEPPSI type Pd(II)-NHC complexes bearing N-benzyladamantyl substituted imidazolidin-2-ylidene group. All synthesized compounds were characterized by using 1 H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopies, FTIR, and elemental analysis techniques. One of the objectives of this study was the synthesis of Pd-NHC complexes with AChE/BChE inhibition activities. Among all the tested compounds, complexes 4b and 4c were found to have the most high potential AChE and BChE inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 21.57 ± 0.23 Mm and 15.78 ± 0.39 Mm, respectively. Conducting molecular docking studies helped us in gathering crucial information about the main binding interactions of inhibitors and enzymes, and the results were in agreement with the biological evaluation. The synthesized Pd-NHC complexes were employed for catalyzing the direct C2- and C5-arylation reaction between aryl (hetero) halide and a variety of heterocyclic systems. In both cases (C2 and C5-arylation), Pd-NHC complexes catalysts provided access to the arylated heterocycles in good to high yields in the presence of 1 mol% catalyst loading at 150 °C. The DFT theoretical investigation showed that the Pd-NHC complexes were of ML2X2 type, where the the Pd(II) cation had a square planar geometry. The interaction energies obtained by energy decomposition analysis (EDA) demonstrated that the 4d and 4e complexes were more stable in the presence of more methyl substituents. The chemical indicators demonstrated that the less stable 4c complex was more reactive in regard to the chemical hardness, chemical potential, and electrophilicity values.
期刊介绍:
Current Organic Chemistry aims to provide in-depth/mini reviews on the current progress in various fields related to organic chemistry including bioorganic chemistry, organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry, catalytic and green chemistry, suitable aspects of medicinal chemistry and polymer chemistry, as well as analytical methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by chosen experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The Journal also accepts high quality research papers focusing on hot topics, highlights and letters besides thematic issues in these fields. Current Organic Chemistry should prove to be of great interest to organic chemists in academia and industry, who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic chemistry.
