利用N-乙基咔唑和2-甲基蒽醌合成了一种A-π-D-π-A分子内电荷转移型化合物3,6-二(蒽醌-2-乙烯基)-N-乙基咔唑,并对该化合物的光化学和光物理行为进行了研究。荧光光谱表明,该化合物的发光行为对溶剂的极性非常敏感,随着溶剂极性的增大,其荧光最大发射峰有明显红移,并在强极性溶剂乙腈中出现了双荧光现象。该化合物的激发态和基态的偶极矩差值△μ为3.014D,发生了从给体(咔唑基)的N原子到分子两端受体(蒽醌)的羰基的分子内电荷转移。     

溶剂极性效应和pH效应对萘二酰亚胺型荧光探针荧光光谱影响的研究

萘二酰亚胺类化合物是新的抗病毒前体之一,在生物化学和医学领域的应用近来引起广泛注意[1].这类化合物具有独特的荧光特性[2],可用于核酸损害机理的研究,是典型的外源型核酸荧光探针之一.因此,研究这类探针的荧光光谱特性对核酸化学的研究将提供重要信息.本文研究了三种新型荧光探针N-(羟乙基)-1,8-萘二酰亚胺(NI1),2-(1,8-萘二酰亚胺基)乙酸(NI2)和6-(1,8-萘二酰亚胺基)正己酸(NI3)在不同极性溶剂中的荧光光谱性质.实验表明,随着溶剂极性的增大,NI型荧光探针的荧光发射峰值发生了明显的红移,荧光强度变化的总体是增大的(表1),其Stock位移(荧光的最大发射峰波长值与最大吸收峰波长值之差)符合Lippert线性方程,如图1所示.     

三苯胺衍生物光物理性质的研究

研究了4-醛基-三苯胺(kTA)和4,4′-二醛基-三苯胺(BTA)的光谱性质。由于这两种化合物的共轭体系中既有电子给体(胺基)又有电子受体(醛基),它们在激发态发生分子内扭曲的电荷转移(TICT)。通过对FTA和BTA的荧光发射的溶剂效应、温度效应、粘度效应以及低温77K荧光的研究,发现FTA和BTA在极性溶剂中的荧光发射谱带中包含了光诱导电荷转移(ICT)和TICT(A带)2个组分,而在非极性溶剂中只有ICT带(B带),并讨论环境对TICT态的影响。另外,荧光猝灭方法也证实了这一点。     

溶剂极性对D-A-D型延迟荧光分子电荷转移激发态的调控

■二唑基四极分子(2,5-bis(4-(10H-phenoxazin-10-yl)phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole,2PXZ-OXD)具有典型的电子给体(donor)-受体(acceptor)-给体(donor)(D-A-D)的结构特点,表现出优良的延迟荧光特性.我们利用稳态、瞬态光谱方法研究了该分子在不同极性溶剂中的光物理特性,发现随着溶剂极性的增加,Stokes位移明显增加,证明了光激发下2PXZ-OXD分子产生了强偶极性的电荷转移态.进一步的量化计算结果发现,单重激发态的偶极矩显著大于三重激发态的偶极矩,溶剂极性对单重激发态的影响更大.溶剂极性的增加,打破了四极分子的对称性,促进了单重态能级的下降,从而调控单-三重态间能级差,导致延迟荧光特性的改变.溶剂极性在对单重态与三重态的能级差调控的同时,也会对2PXZ-OXD分子的发射振子强度有影响,强极性造成的显著非辐射弛豫过程会明显降低发光性能.     

1,5-二苯基-3-联苯基-2-吡唑啉的荧光光谱行为研究

吡唑啉衍生物具有优异的空穴传输性能和光致发光性能。本文采用荧光光谱法研究了化合物1,5-二苯基-3-联苯基-2-吡唑啉(DBP)的荧光光谱行为。DBP有较强的荧光发射,其光谱行为受溶剂极性和酸度影响显著。随着溶剂极性增加,DBP的荧光发射峰明显红移,其激发态与基态的偶极矩差值增大,发生了分子内电荷转移。在强酸性条件下,DBP的荧光被显著猝灭,量子产率降低。另外,受体分子芴酮或三硝基芴酮能有效猝灭DBP的荧光,其猝灭机理为动态猝灭,两者发生了较强的分子间光诱导电荷转移。DBP与三硝基芴酮间的电荷转移作用明显大于芴酮。     

溶剂效应和取代基效应对2-(2-氨基苯基)苯并噻唑光谱性质及激发态分子内质子转移的影响

合成了多种2-(2-氨基苯基)苯并噻唑(APBT)氨基氢原子被供电子及吸电子基团取代的衍生物, 并用紫外光谱﹑荧光光谱等方法和密度泛函理论(DFT)计算研究了溶剂效应和取代基效应对衍生物的光谱性质及激发态分子内质子转移(ESIPT)的影响规律. 结果表明, 相比于非极性溶剂环己烷, 随溶剂极性的增加及APBT-溶剂分子间氢键的形成, APBT的紫外-可见最大吸收峰和荧光最大发射峰均发生了一定程度的红移, 并对APBT的ESIPT产生了影响. 在APBT分子的氨基氮原子上引入不同的吸电子或斥电子取代基, 对氮原子的电荷性质有较大的影响. 在环己烷溶剂中, 甲基取代后的APBT仅有单重荧光发射峰, 体系未发生ESIPT过程; 而COCH₂Cl等吸电子基团能促进APBT的ESIPT, 其荧光发射光谱出现了明显的双重峰, 表明体系发生了激发态分子内质子转移反应. 量子化学的理论计算较好地验证了光谱实验结果.

以双氰基二苯代乙烯为双光子荧光母体,借助电子供体-π-电子受体(D-π-A)构-效关系,以二苯氨基作电子供体,氰基作电子受体,开发了一个新型的双光子荧光溶剂生色探针(SP1),并对其结构进行了表征.性能测试结果表明,SP1在环己烷和二甲亚砜(DMSO)中的最大发射波长分别为452和604 nm,显示出很宽的溶剂生色范围(152 nm),可用于溶剂极性与黏度的检测,亦能根据最大发射波长识别溶剂种类.SP1拥有较大的双光子吸收截面,在环己烷和DMSO中的最大双光子吸收截面分别为6670和2040 GM,并具有较大的斯托克斯位移(194 nm),其光稳定性、水溶性和细胞渗透性均比较优良.该探针可用于细胞中黏度的检测与成像.     

基于香豆素荧光团的新型极性检测荧光探针的开发及其成像应用

极性是生物微环境的重要参数之一, 在很大程度上, 生物体内许多生命活动都受到极性变化的影响, 本工作通过改变香豆素母体上的推-拉电子基团, 设计并合成了一种具有较大斯托克斯位移的新型极性荧光探针COM-PO, 该探针的荧光强度和波长会随着测试体系的极性变化而发生改变. 当极性增加时, COM-PO的激发态能量会通过偶极-偶极的相互作用散失在溶剂中, 荧光发射强度降低, 而在低极性溶剂中荧光发射强度增强, 利用这种特性实现了对极性的检测. 本工作通过荧光光谱、荧光成像实验表明COM-PO能够在样品中实现极性检测, 该探针有望实现与极性相关的疾病的早期诊断.

An efficient approach to the synthesis of highly congested di, penta and hexacyclic pyrazoles as well as imidazole fragment containing novel heterocyclic molecule has been developed through a carbanion induced transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones, benzo[h]chromene and thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrans. Due to the presence of fluorescence, we report their prime application metal sensor as off/on switching in ferric ions.     

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

Introduction of electron releasing alkyl groups in substrates 4a–b was found to be instrumental for the success of the reaction.     

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.     

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.     

Facile synthesis of bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones

In this Letter, we described a facile method for constructing fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-one ring system. We employed various methylene-containing carboxylic acids as the substrates and proved that the pyrazolone ring closure requires activated methylene group in intermediate II. Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.     

Synthesis of substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles by intramolecular nitrilimine cycloaddition

Both substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles have been synthesized by the 3+2 intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines to alkynes. This cyclization has been extended to more versatile 3-bromo derivatives by the use of alkynylbromides as dipolarophiles.
