The synthesis of novel 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)chromenone-crown ethers and their cation binding,as determined using fluorescence spectra

o-Dihydroxy-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-chromenones (coumarins; 3a,b) were synthesised from 1,2,3-trihydroxy- or 1,2,4-triacetoxybenzenes through a reaction with ethyl 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropanoate in H₂SO₄ or CF₃COOH. The chromenone-crown ethers (4a–f) were prepared from the cyclic condensation of o-dihydroxy-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)chromenones (3a,b) with poly(ethylene glycol) ditosylates, in the presence of CH₃CN/alkali carbonates. The chromatographically purified original chromenone-crown ethers were identified by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The 1:1 binding constants of Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ with the chromenone-crown ethers were estimated in acetonitrile using fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The complexing-enhanced fluorescence spectra and complexing-enhanced quenching fluorescence spectra, along with the cationic recognition rules of the crown ethers allowed the ion binding powers to be determined.     

The cation binding of benzo crown ethers in acetonitrile using fluorescence spectroscopy

The effects of Na⁺, K⁺ and Li⁺ cations on the fluorescence spectra of benzo[15]crown-5, benzo[18]crown-6 and dibenzo[18]crown-6 were investigated in acetonitrile. The alkali cation role observed was usually the complexation-enhanced quenching fluorescence effect (CEQF) in acetonitrile due to the increased fluorescence quenching rate of the complexed fluoroionophore. The association constants for 1 :1 stoichiometry InK _a have been obtained using the relationship 1/K _a[L ₀] = (1 –P)²/P. It was shown that the preferential interaction rule of compatibility of cationic radii and macrocyclic ring size is in excellent agreement with the association constants obtained by fluorescence spectroscopy. The order of InK _a found for benzo[15]crown-5 complexation was Li⁺ > Na⁺ > K⁺ and K⁺ > Na⁺ > Li⁺ for benzo[18]crown-6 in acetonitrile.Presented at the Sixth International Seminar on Inclusion Compounds, Istanbul, Turkey, 27–31 August, 1995.

Domino synthesis of indenols and alkyl-indene ethers under modified Vilsmeier conditions

Indenols are produced in high yields through domino reactions, when electron-rich trans-stilbenes and other trans aryl-alkyl olefins were subjected to Vilsmeier formylation in the presence of excess POCl₃ in a one-pot procedure. The method is even suitable for converting aryl-alkyl carbinols (precursors for olefins) directly into indenols. The corresponding indene ethers could be prepared in high yields directly when less reactive α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were subjected to cyclization in alcoholic HCl.

Studies on the synthesis of 2,3-o-hydroxyalkyl ethers of cellulose

Novel 2,3-O-hydroxyethyl- and 2,3-O-hydroxypropyl cellulose products were synthesized by heterogeneous etherification of 6-O-(4-monomethoxytrityl) cellulose (MMTC). Due to the very hydrophobic character of MMTC, the reaction was successful in the presence of anionic and non-ionic detergent in the reaction mixture yielding the 2,3-O-cellulose ethers with a molar degree of substitution (MS) varying between 0.25 and 2.00 after detritylation. The products were characterized by means of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy including two-dimensional methods. The 2,3-O-hydroxypropyl cellulose samples are soluble in water at a MS as low as 0.8. The spectroscopic studies showed that the unusual solubility results from a preferred substitution of hydroxy groups of the anhydroglucose unit while the newly formed hydroxy moieties are included in the reaction to a minor extent only. In contrast, conventionally synthesized hydroxypropyl cellulose is soluble in water starting at a MS of about 4.0 because of the formation of oxyethylene side chains.

Azo and azoxythiacrown ethers: synthesis and properties

A series of 16- and 18-membered azo- and azoxythiacrown ethers have been synthesized by reductive macrocyclization of the respective bis(nitrophenoxy)oxaalkanes.

New methodology for the synthesis of benzoazacrown ethers by transformation of the macrocycle of benzocrown ethers

The review summarizes the results of studies aimed at constructing new promising macrocyclic ligands that bind metal and ammonium ions. A new approach to the synthesis of formyl and nitro derivatives of 1-aza-2,3-benzocrown ethers possessing considerable synthetic potential is described. The review presents a radically new methodology for the synthesis of such benzoazacrown ethers based on stepwise transformations of the macrocycle of readily accessible benzocrown ethers. The main structural factors and necessary conditions enabling stepwise transformations of the macrocycle of crown ethers into azacrown ethers were revealed. For the first time, the ability of N-methylbenzoazacrown ethers to form complexes was found, which is much superior to that of widely used N-phenylazacrown ethers and benzocrown ethers with the same size of the macrocycle.     

The Synthesis of Novel Crown Ethers. Part IV. Coumarin Derivatives of [18]crown-6 and Cation Binding from Fluorescence Spectra

4-H, 4-methyl and 4-phenyl-1-benzopyran-2-one derivatives of [18]crown-6 derivatives were synthesised from 6,7- and 7,8-dihydroxy-1-benzopyran-2-one reacting with pentaethylene glycol ditosylate in K₂CO₃/DMF/water. The products were identified by elemental analysis, EI-GC-mass spectra and ₁H-NMR spectroscopy. The Na⁺ association constants of some coumarin derivatives were determined with an ion selective electrode in water. The Na⁺ , K⁺, Ba²⁺ and Sr²⁺ binding role of such compounds were particularly observed as remarkable alterations in acetonitrile. The 1 : 1 associations constants of K⁺ and Na⁺ with some coumarin-[18]crown-6 derivatives estimated by this way in acetonitrile exhibited the utility of complexing enhanced quenching fluorescence spectra for the ion binding power of the such macrocycles.     

Design of novel substituted phthalocyanines; synthesis and fluorescence,DFT, photovoltaic properties

The 4-(2-[3,4-dimethoxyphenoxy] phenoxy) phthalonitrile was synthesized as the starting material of new syntheses. Zinc, copper, and cobalt phthalocyanines were achieved by reaction of starting compound with Zn(CH3COO)2, CuCl2, and CoCl2 metal salts. Basic spectroscopic methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance electronic absorption, mass and infrared spectrometry were used in the structural characterization of the compounds. Absorption, excitation, and emission measurements of the fluorescence zinc phthalocyanine compound were also investigated in THF. Then, structural, energy, and electronic properties for synthesized metallophthalocyanines were determined by quantum chemical calculations, including the DFT method. The bandgap of HOMO and LUMO was determined to be chemically active. Global reactivity (I, A, η, s, μ, χ, ω) and nonlinear properties were studied. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps were drawn to identify potential reactive regions of metallophthalocyanine (M-Pc) compounds. Photovoltaic performances of phthalocyanine compounds for dye sensitive solar cells were investigated. The solar conversion efficiency of DSSC based on copper, zinc, and cobalt phthalocyanine compounds was 1.69%, 1.35%, and 1.54%, respectively. The compounds have good solubility and show nonlinear optical properties. Zinc phthalocyanine gave fluorescence emission.
