Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

β,β‐(1,4‐Dithiino)subporphyrin Dimers Capturing Fullerenes with Large Association Constants

β,β‐(1,4‐Dithiino)subporphyrin dimers 7‐syn and 7‐anti were synthesized by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 2‐bromo‐3‐(4‐methoxyphenylsulfonyl)subporphyrin 4 with 2,3‐dimercaptosubporphyrin 5 under basic conditions followed by axial arylation. Additions of C₆₀ or C₇₀ to a dilute solution of 7‐anti (ca. 10^?6 m ) in toluene did not cause appreciable UV/Vis spectral changes, while similar additions to a concentrated solution (ca. 10^?3 m ) resulted in precipitation of complexes. In contrast, dimer 7‐syn captured C₆₀ and C₇₀ in different complexation stoichiometries in toluene; a 1:1 manner and a 2:1 manner, respectively, with large association constants; K_a=(1.9±0.2)×10⁶ m ^?1 for C₆₀@ 7‐syn , and K₁=(1.6±0.5)×10⁶ and K₂=(1.8±0.9)×10⁵ m ^?1 for C₇₀@( 7‐syn )₂. These association constants are the largest for fullerenes‐capture by bowl‐shaped molecules reported so far. The structures of C₆₀@ 7‐anti , C₇₀@ 7‐anti , C₆₀@ 7‐syn , and C₇₀@ 7‐syn have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Tribenzotriquinacene Receptors for C60 Fullerene Rotors: Towards C3 Symmetrical Chiral Stators for Unidirectionally Operating Nanoratchets

The synthesis of a stereochemically pure concave tribenzotriquinacene receptor ( 7 ) for C₆₀ fullerene, possessing C₃ point group symmetry, by threefold condensation of C₂‐symmetric 1,2‐diketone synthons ( 5 ) and a hexaaminotribenzotriquinacene core ( 6 ) is described. The chiral diketone was synthesized in a five‐step reaction sequence starting from C_2h‐symmetric 2,6‐di‐tert‐butylanthracene. The highly diastereo‐discriminating Diels–Alder reaction of 2,6‐di‐tert‐butylanthracene with fumaric acid di(?)menthyl ester, catalyzed by aluminium chloride, is the relevant stereochemistry introducing step. The structure of the fullerene receptor was verified by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. VCD and ECD spectra were recorded, which were corroborated by ab initio DFT calculations, establishing the chiral nature of 7 with about 99.7 % ee, based on the ee (99.9 %) of the chiral synthon ( 1 ). The absolute configuration of 7 could thus be established as all‐S [(2S,7S,16S,21S,30S,35S)‐( 7 )]. Spectroscopic titration experiments reveal that the host forms 1:1 complexes with either pure fullerene (C₆₀) or fullerene derivatives, such as rotor 1′‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐3′‐(4‐N,N‐dimethylaminophenyl)‐pyrazolino[4′,5′:1,2][60]fullerene ( R ). The complex stability constants of the complexes dissolved in CHCl₃/CS₂ (1:1 vol. %) are K([ C₆₀ ? 7 ])=319(±156) M ^?1 and K([ R ? 7 ])=110(±50) M ^?1. With molecular dynamics simulations using a first‐principles parameterized force field the asymmetry of the rotational potential for [ R ? 7 ] was shown, demonstrating the potential suitability of receptor 7 to act as a stator in a unidirectionally operating nanoratchet.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties of Phthalocyanine–[60]Fullerene Conjugates Connected Directly by Means of a Four‐Membered Ring

New covalently C₆₀‐conjugated phthalocyanine (Pc) analogues in which the Pc and C₆₀ components are connected by means of a four‐membered ring have been synthesized by taking advantage of a [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of C₆₀ with benzyne units generated from either a phthalocyanine derivative ( 8 ) or its precursor ( 1 ). The reaction of 1 with PhI(OAc)₂ and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) followed by the [2+2] cycloaddition of C₆₀ in the presence of tetra‐n‐butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) yielded the C₆₀‐substituted Pc precursor ( 3 ). Mixed condensation of 3 and 4,5‐dibutylsulfonylphthalonitrile ( 4 ) in a thermally promoted template reaction using a nickel salt successfully gave the Pc–C₆₀ conjugate ( 5 ). Results of mass spectrometry and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy clearly indicate the formation of the anticipated Pc–C₆₀ conjugate. Direct coupling of C₆₀ with the Pc analogue that contained eight peripheral trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups ( 8 ) also proceeded successfully, such that mono and bis C₆₀‐adducts were detected by their mass, although the isolation of each derivative was difficult. The absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of 5 and the reference compound ( 7 ) differ from each other in the Q‐band region, thereby suggesting that the presence of the C₆₀ moiety affects the electronic structure of the conjugate. The reduction and oxidation potentials of 5 and 7 obtained by cyclic voltammetry are comparative, except for the C₆₀‐centered reduction couple at ?1.53 V versus Fc⁺/Fc in o‐dichlorobenzene (o‐DCB). A one‐electron reduction of 5 and 7 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) by using the sodium mirror technique results in the loss of band intensity in the Q‐band region, whereas the characteristic marker bands for Pc‐ring‐centered reduction appear at around 430, 600, and 900 nm for both compounds. The final spectral shapes of 5 and 7 upon the reduction resemble each other, thus indicating that no significant molecular orbital (MO) interactions between the C₆₀ and Pc units are present for the reduced species of 5 . In contrast, the oxidized species of 5 and 7 generated by the addition of NOBF₄ in CH₂Cl₂ show significantly different absorption spectra from each other. Whereas the broad bands at approximately 400–550 nm of 7 ⁺ are indicative of the cationic π‐radical species of metallo‐Pcs and can be assigned to a transition from a low‐lying MO to the half‐filled MO, no corresponding bands were observed for 5 ⁺. These spectral characteristics have been tentatively assigned to the delocalized occupied frontier MOs for 5 ⁺. The experimental results are broadly supported by DFT calculations.     

Supramacromolecular chemistry: Self‐assembly of polystyrene‐based multi‐armed pseudorotaxane star polymers from multi‐topic C60 derivatives

Multitopic dibenzylammonium derivatives ( 4 ) of C₆₀ were prepared by Bingel reactions of C₆₀ with a malonate diester ( 2 ) containing two t‐BOC protected dibenzylamine moieties, followed by deprotection and protonation. Self‐assembly of model pseudorotaxanes 5 from the multidibenzylammonium C₆₀ derivatives with dibenzo‐24‐crown‐8 was studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Self‐assembly of linear and star‐shaped pseudorotaxanes 8 with up to 12 arms based on polystyrenes bearing terminal DB24C8 host units ( 7 ) and the guest functionalized C₆₀ salts was demonstrated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and solution phase viscometry. These studies provide further evidence of the potential of supramacromolecular chemistry in construction of complex polymeric architectures. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reaction of the Pincer‐type Ligand {2, 6‐[P(O)(OEt)2]2‐4‐tert‐Bu‐C6H2}— with [Ph3C]+[PF6]—. Unprecedented Rearrangement and Carbon‐Carbon Bond Formation

The reaction of the organolithium derivative {2, 6‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂‐4‐tert‐Bu‐C₆H₂}Li ( 1 ‐Li) with [Ph₃C]⁺[PF₆]^— gave the substituted biphenyl derivative 4‐[(C₆H₅)₂CH]‐4′‐[tert‐Bu]‐2′, 6′‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂‐1, 1′‐biphenyl ( 5 ) which was characterized by ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X‐ray analysis. Ab initio MO‐calculations reveal the intramolecular O···C distances in 5 of 2.952(4) and 2.988(5)Å being shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of oxygen and carbon to be the result of crystal packing effects. Also reported are the synthesis and structure of the bromine‐substituted derivative {2, 6‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂‐4‐tert‐Bu]C₆H₂}Br ( 9 ) and the structure of the protonated ligand 5‐tert‐Bu‐1, 3‐[P(O)(OEt)₂]₂C₆H₃ ( 1 ‐H). The structures of 1 ‐H, 5 , and 9 are compared with those of related metal‐substituted derivatives.

Using the relative kinetic method, rate coefficients have been determined for the gas‐phase reactions of chlorine atoms with propane, n‐butane, and isobutane at total pressure of 100 Torr and the temperature range of 295–469 K. The Cl₂ photolysis (λ = 420 nm) was used to generate Cl atoms in the presence of ethane as the reference compound. The experiments have been carried out using GC product analysis and the following rate constant expressions (in cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1) have been derived: (7.4 ± 0.2) × 10^?11 exp [‐(70 ± 11)/ T], Cl + C₃H₈ → HCl + CH₃CH₂CH₂; (5.1 ± 0.5) × 10^?11 exp [(104 ± 32)/ T], Cl + C₃H₈ → HCl + CH₃CHCH₃; (7.3 ± 0.2) × 10^?11 exp[?(68 ± 10)/ T], Cl + n‐C₄H₁₀ → HCl + CH₃ CH₂CH₂CH₂; (9.9 ± 2.2) × 10^?11 exp[(106 ± 75)/ T], Cl + n‐C₄H₁₀ → HCl + CH₃CH₂CHCH₃; (13.0 ± 1.8) × 10^?11 exp[?(104 ± 50)/ T], Cl + i‐C₄H₁₀ → HCl + CH₃CHCH₃CH₂; (2.9 ± 0.5) × 10^?11 exp[(155 ± 58)/ T], Cl + i‐C₄H₁₀ → HCl + CH₃CCH₃CH₃ (all error bars are ± 2σ precision). These studies provide a set of reaction rate constants allowing to determine the contribution of competing hydrogen abstractions from primary, secondary, or tertiary carbon atom in alkane molecule. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tri‐ and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug sulindac: Characterization,electronic structures (DFT), DNA binding and plasmid cleavage studies

Tri‐ and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug sulindac ( Sul ), coordinated with carboxylate oxygen, namely C₂₃H₂₅FO₃SSn ( 1 ), C₃₈H₃₁FO₃SSn ( 2 ), C₃₂H₄₃FO₃SSn ( 3 ), C₅₂H₄₂F₂O₆S₂Sn ( 4 ), C₄₄H₄₄S₂Cl₂O₆F₂Sn₂ ( 5 ), C₄₈H₅₀F₂O₆S₂Sn ( 6 ) and C₅₆H₆₆F₂O₆S₂Sn ( 7 ), have been synthesized and characterized using analytical and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and ESI‐MS) techniques. Optimized geometry and electronic structures of the complexes obtained from density functional theory calculations indicate that complexes 1 , 2 , 3 and 7 are tetra‐coordinated with monodentate carboxylates, 4 and 6 are hexa‐coordinated with highly distorted octahedral geometry, whereas 5 is penta‐coordinated with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Probable mode of DNA binding with ligand ( Sul ) and complexes 1 – 7 has been revealed via various biophysical techniques (UV–visible spectroscopy, fluorometry and circular dichroism). Intrinsic binding constants (K _b) obtained from UV–visible spectroscopy for Sul and complexes 1 – 7 are 3.69 × 10⁴, and 7.3 × 10³, 1.14 × 10⁴, 1.47 × 10⁴, 1.55 × 10⁴, 1.49 × 10⁴, 2.02 × 10⁴, 1.17 × 10⁴ M⁻¹, respectively. The quenching constants (K _sv) using fluorometric titrations, calculated from competitive binding of ethidium bromide versus Sul /complexes with calf thymus DNA, also correspond to the above results. Circular dichroism spectral patterns of calf thymus DNA with Sul and complexes 1 – 7 have also been investigated. All the results reveal that the complexes bind with DNA through partial intercalative mode. pBr322 plasmid fragmentation has also been studied using gel electrophoresis, which shows the fragmentation of circular DNA by an increase in nicked form and also by the appearance of linear form with increasing concentration of drug or complexes.

Experimental and quantum chemical calculational studies on N‐[4‐(3‐Methyl‐3‐phenyl‐cyclobutyl)‐thiazol‐2‐yl]‐N′‐pyridin‐3ylmethylene‐hydrazine

The title molecule, N‐[4‐(3‐Methyl‐3‐phenyl‐cyclobutyl)‐thiazol‐2‐yl]‐N′‐pyridin‐3ylmethylene‐ hydrazine (C₂₀ H₂₀ N₄ S₁), was characterized by ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, IR, UV‐visible, and X‐ray determination. In addition to the molecular geometry from X‐ray experiment, the molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and gauge including atomic orbital ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR chemical shift values of the title compound in the ground state have been calculated using the Hartree‐Fock and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6‐31G(d, p) basis set. The calculated results show that optimized geometries can well reproduce the crystal structural parameters. By using time‐dependent density functional theory method, electronic absorption spectrum of the title compound has been predicted. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
