title: Cu, Pt, and Pd complexes of the 3-deoxy-1,2-bis(thiosemicarbazone) derived from D-glucose.
abstract: 3-Deoxy-D-erythro-hexos-2-ulose bis(thiosemicarbazone) (1) acts as a tetradentate ligand of the N2S2 type which forms stable coordination complexes with metal(II) cations. The Cu(II), Pt(II), and Pd(II) chelates (2, 4, and 6, respectively) of 1 were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The NMR spectra of the Pt complex (4) showed the coupling of H-1 and C-1, C-2 of the bis(thiosemicarbazone) with 195Pt (33.7% naturally occurring), which supports the structure proposed for the chelate. The complexes 2, 4, and 6 were acetylated to give the corresponding tri-O-acetyl derivatives 3, 5, and 7. Elimination of Cu(II) from 3 with hydrogen sulfide afforded 8, the tri-O-acetyl derivative of 1. Preliminary studies have shown antiviral activity of chelates 2, 4, and 6 against poliovirus type 1.
