Synthesis and Structure of an Octopus-like Octapropargyl Tetra-iso-butyl-resorcin[4]arene

1 INTRODUCTION Resorcin[4]arene is a cyclic tetramer and can be easily obtained by acid-catalyzed condensation of resorcinol with a variety of aldehydes. The all-cis isomer with crown C4v symmetry is mostly isolated by means of alkyl aldehydes[1]. They have been used as starting materials for the synthesis of cavitands, velc-rands, and even more complex compounds like carce-rands, hemicarceracnds, and holands[2～4]. Of the ob-vious places for the chemical modification of reso-rcin[4]arene…     

Vase‐Kite Equilibrium of Resorcin[4]arene Cavitands Investigated Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations with Ball‐and‐Stick Local Elevation Umbrella Sampling

A key feature of resorcin[4]arene cavitands is their ability to switch between a closed/contracted (Vase ) and an open/expanded (Kite ) conformation. The mechanism and dynamics of this interconversion remains, however, elusive. In the present study, the Vase ‐Kite transitions of a quinoxaline‐based and of a dinitrobenzene‐based resorcin[4]arene are investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in three environments (vacuum, chloroform, and toluene) and at three temperatures (198.15, 248.15, and 298.15 K). The challenge of sampling the Vase ‐Kite transition, which occurs experimentally on the millisecond time scale, is overcome by calculating relative free energies using ball‐and stick local elevation umbrella sampling (B&S‐LEUS) to enhance the statistics on the relevant states and to promote interconversion transitions. Associated unbiased MD simulations also evidence for the first time a complete Vase ‐to‐Kite transition, as well as transitions between degenerate Kite 1 and Kite 2 forms and solvent‐exchange events. The calculated Vase ‐to‐Kite free‐energy changes ΔG are in qualitative agreement with the experimental magnitudes and trends. The level of quantitative agreement is, however, limited by the force‐field accuracy and, in particular, by the approximate treatment of intramolecular interactions at the classical level. The results are in line with a less stable Vase state for the dinitrobenzene compared to the quinoxaline compound, and a negative entropy change ΔS for the Vase ‐to‐Kite transition of the latter compound. Relative free energies calculated for intermediates also suggest that the Vase ‐Kite transition does not follow a concerted mechanism, but an asynchronous one with sequential opening of the flaps. In particular, the conformation involving two adjacent flaps open in a parallel direction (cis‐p) represents a likely intermediate, which has not been observed experimentally to date.     

The role of the solvation shell decomposition of alkali metal ions in their selective complexation by resorcinarene and its cavitand

2-Methylresorcinarene and its methylene-bridged cavitand derivative as host compounds were investigated in selective complexation of alkali metal ions as guests in methanol media by photoluminescence measurements. These host molecules possess either flexible (2-methylresorcinarene) or rigid (cavitand) molecular skeleton. The Benesi–Hildebrand method and the van't Hoff theory have been applied to determine the stability constants and the thermodynamic parameters, respectively. Considerable interactions between 2-methylresorcinarene and Li⁺ or Na⁺ ions have been observed while the rigid cavitand derivative can interact only with K⁺ or Cs⁺ ions. Neither the complexes of 2-methylresorcinarene with K⁺ or Cs⁺ nor those of the cavitand derivative with Li⁺ or Na⁺ ions are stable at room temperature in methanol media. Quantum-chemical investigations justified that only solvated Li⁺ and Na⁺ ions can form stable complexes with 2-methylresorcinarene while unsolvated K⁺ and Cs⁺ ions form stable complexes with the methylene-bridged cavitand. These results highlight that the stability of the guest solvation shell and its size could play a key role in the selectivity behaviour of host molecules.     

Syntheses and Cation Complexation Studies of New Cavitand Derivatives

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of a Tripodal Triaminostibine

Reaction of the tripodal trilithium triamide [MeSi{SiMe₂N(Li)(p‐Tol)}₃(thf)₂] ( 1 ) with SbCl₃ in toluene gave the corresponding triaminostibine [MeSi{SiMe₂N(p‐Tol)}₃Sb] ( 2 ) in good yield. Its [2,2,2]bicyclooctane‐related cage structure, comprising the trisilylsilane unit and the triamidostibine fragment, was established by a single crystal X‐ray structure analysis: Space group P1, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 293 K: a = 8.645(4), b = 10.029(5), c = 19.678(9) Å, α = 98.50(3)°, β = 97.46(3)°, γ = 94.80(3)°, R = 0.0216.     

Thiophosphorylated cavitand: structure and affinity towards soft metal ions

The iiii stereoisomer of the tetrathiophosphonate-calix[4]resorcinarene host 1 exhibited excellent extraction properties towards soft metal ions, with a better affinity for Ag⁺ (91%), than for Tl⁺ (38%) and Hg²⁺ (16%). The extraction of other picrate salts (Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺) was not detected. The stoichiometry and the structure of the Hg²⁺, Tl⁺ and Ag⁺ complexes were studied by NMR in solution and gave respectively 1:1, 1:1 and 1:2 host-guest complexes. The formation of the self-assembled 1₂·(AgPic)₄ complex was independent on the anion and only observed with silver(I) ion.

Biscavitands II: Self-Inclusion in a Back-to-Back Connected Biscavitand

A foot-to-foot or `back-to-back' connected biscavitand is prepared directly from a hexadecol resorcinarene precursor. The axial orientation of the biphenyl linker and hence the crown conformation of the hexadecol was established by an X-ray crystal study of the biscavitand. Each cavitand bowl is filled in the crystal by an alkyl `foot' from the next molecule, a self-inclusion which results in polymeric host–guest chains. The new biscavitand differs from previously prepared Z and C isomers of a bowl-to-bowl or `front-to-front' connected host, which crystallize as chains of carcerand-like, solvent-filled cages or as distinct molecules of hemicarceplex, respectively.     

Synthesis of Calix[4]resorcinarene Amide Derivatives

Three different synthetic routes were developed to introduce carbamoyloxy functional groups at the upper periphery of two calix[4]resorcinarenes. By treating activated esters 2a-b with excess corresponding amine such as 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine 3, ct-phenethylamine 4 and triethylenetetramine 5, six amide derivatives 6a-8b were obtained in high yield (Route 1). The pyridine-linked amide derivatives 9a-b were prepared by using acid chloride intermediate (Route 2).The amide derivatives 10a-b were obtained in moderate yields by direct alkylation of phenolic hydroxyl groups of la-b with N,N-dipropylchloroacetoamide in the presence of K2CO3/KI in acetone (Route 3).
