Formation of 7,7′-Bi-indolyls by oxidative dimerization of 4,6-dimethoxy-2,3-diphenylindole

4,6-Dimethoxy-2,3-diphenylindole undergoes quinone oxidation to give the corresponding 7,7′-bi-indolyl derivative in high yield.

Organoamidometallics—III. 2,6-Dimethylpyridine and 1,4-dioxan as weakly coordinating polar solvents for decarboxylation syntheses of N,N-dimethyl-N′-(polyfluorophenyl)ethane-1,2-diaminato(1—)platinum(II) complexes

Abstract The complexes, Pt[N( p -HC 6 F 4 )CH 2 CH 2 N Me2]X(L)(X = Cl, L = Ph3P; X = I, L = pyrazine) have been prepared by reaction of PtX2(dmen) (dmen = N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine) with TlO2CC6F4H-p, C6F5H and L in hot 2,6-dimethylpyridine (dmpy), and are considered to have L trans to —NMe2. The pyrazine complex was also obtained in very low yield from an analogous synthesis in 1,4-dioxan. Reaction of PtBr2 (dmen) with TlO2CC6F4H-p and C6F5H in 2,6-dimethylpyridine without an added ligand gave a low yield of Pt[N( p -HC 6 F 4 )CH 2 CH 2 N Me2](O2CC6F4H-p)(dmpy).

Template synthesis of metal complexes of corrin analogues

Nickel(II), copper(II), and cobalt(III) complexes of the corrin analogue 3,12-dihydro-1,4,8,12-tetra-aza-2(H)-dibenzo[f,m]cyclopentadecine (IIa) have been prepared by a ready metal template process, together with similar complexes of related macrocyclic ligands.
