Novel Complexes of 3-[3-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)propyl]-3,7-diaza-bispidines and β-Cyclodextrin as Coatings to Protect and Stimulate Sprouting Wheat Seeds

Abstract

We report the syntheses and characterization of novel 3,7-bicycl[3.3.1]bispidines possessing an imidazolpropyl group attached to N-3, and at N-7 a Boc group, as well as a benzoylated-oximated group at C-9. These compounds were complexed with β-cyclodextrin [β-CD] and evaluated as seed protectors of selected wheat seedlings. Using strong acid, condensations of N-substituted piperidones with the appropriate imidazolpropyl groups at N-3 and N-7 led to bispidinones 6 and 7. These intermediates were reduced to the corresponding 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane targets. The oxime at C-9 was benzoylated to yield 13. Heating these 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes in ethanol with β-CD generated the complexes required. We investigated the ability of such complexes as coatings on seedlings to protect and stimulate growth of three varieties of wheat, namely Kazakhstanskaya-10, Severyanka, and Miras. The complex of 3-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl]-7-(3-methoxypropyl)-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (2) promoted growth in the root systems of all three wheat varieties by more than 30% in Kazakhstanskaya-10, 30% in Severyanka and 8.5% in Miras. A complex of 3-Boc-7-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl]-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9) increased both shoot and root length in only the Severyanka variety. The complex of 3-(3-butoxypropyl)-7-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl]-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (11) stimulated both shoot growth (0.8%, 12.3%, 13.5%) and root growth (12.3%, 9.4%, 21.7%) in all three varieties of wheat, respectively. The nature of substituents on the bispidine affect the activity. Solid complexes (1:1) were generated as powders which melted above 240 °C (dec) and were characterized via elemental analyses as 1:1 complexes.
