Self-assembly of N2-modified guanosine derivatives: formation of discrete G-octamers

In the presence of Na(+) ions, two N(2)-modified guanosine derivatives, N(2)-(4-n-butylphenyl)-2',3',5'-O-triacetylguanosine (G1) and N(2)-(4-pyrenylphenyl)-2',3',5'-O-triacetylguanosine (G2), are found to self-associate into discrete octamers that contain two G-quartets and a central ion. In each octamer, all eight guanosine molecules are in a syn conformation and the two G-quartets are stacked in a tail-to-tail fashion. On the basis of NMR spectroscopic evidence, we hypothesize that the pi-pi-stacking interaction between the N(2)-side arms (phenyl in G1 and pyrenyl in G2) can considerably stabilize the octamer structure. For G1, we have used NMR spectroscopic saturation-transfer experiments to monitor the kinetic ligand exchange process between monomers and octamers in CD(3)CN. The results show that the activation energy (E(a)) of the ligand exchange process is 31 +/-5 kJ mol(-1). An Eyring analysis of the saturation transfer data yields the enthalpy and entropy of activation for the transition state: DeltaH(not =)=29 +/-5 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS(not =)=-151 +/-10 J mol(-1) K(-1). These results are consistent with an associative mechanism for ligand exchange.

Synthesis and NMR spectroscopic studies of allylsulfanyl-N1-alkyl-N4-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamines and their cyclization products, 2,3-dihydro-1-benzothiophenes and thiochromans

Regioselective addition of allylthiol at the C-3 position adjacent to the nitrogen carrying the phenyl group of the 1,4-phenylenediamine moiety of compounds 1-4 was rigorously confirmed by 1D NOE difference in combination with gHMBC experiments.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 10 and 11, which contain two chiral centers, exhibit duplication for several signals, indicating the existence of two diastereomeric forms. The full structures of 5 and 9 were unambiguously confirmed by x-ray crystallography. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of all compounds were assigned using one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques (APT, DEPT, 1D NOE difference, COSY, NOESY, HETCOR, gHMQC and gHMBC).

Elucidation of the structures of 3-alkylthio-, 3-benzylthio-, 2-arylthio- and 2-heteroarylthio-N1-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N4-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamines by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy

Nucleophilic addition of alkyl- and benzylthiols to benzoquinone diimine (1) gave the corresponding 3-alkylthio- or 3-benzylthio-1,4-phenylenediamines (2-5). However, addition of aryl- or heteroarylthiols to 1 formed 2-arylthio- or 2-heteroarylthio-1,4-phenylenediamines (6-14). The structures of 2-14, obtained in 55-91% yields, were confirmed in CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 solution using 1D (NOE difference, coupled 13C NMR spectra, APT and DEPT) and 2D NMR techniques [DQCOSY, NOESY, HETCOR and heteronuclear multiple bond coherence (HMBC)] that resulted in unambiguous proton and carbon NMR resonance assignments. The substituent-induced 13C NMR chemical shift differences were calculated in 2-14 relative to carbon atoms in the model compound N1-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N4-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (DMBPPD) (15) (a reduced form of benzoquinone diimine).
