A pure blue light emitting binaphthyl derivative：Synthesis and properties

A binaphthyl derivative with pyrene on 3 and 3＇ positions was synthesized and characterized via Suzuki coupling reaction. Emission maximum in solution was located at 390 nm with a quantum efficiency of 68% by taking 9,10-diphenyl anthracene as reference,while it is shifted to 450 nm with FWHM of 104 nm resulting from aggregation state in solid film.Glass transition temperature（Tg）and decomposition temperature were measured to be 184 and 447℃,respectively,by DSC and TGA.Unlike its photoluminescence spectrum,electroluminescent spectrum peaked at about 460 nm and shows a FWHM of 69 nm corresponding to a pure blue emission.The turn-on voltage,luminance and efficiency maximum were 5 V,2953 cd/m^2 and 1.37cd/A with CIE color coordinate of（0.16,0.15）,in the device structure of ITO/NPB（40nm）/PY-BN-PY（15nm）/BPhen（40nm）/Mg：Ag.     

Controlled Synthesis and Molecular Structures of Methoxy-, Amino-, and Chloro-Functionalized Disiloxane Building Blocks

Functionalized disiloxane units with defined structures are interesting molecular models for investigating the reactivity and chemoselectivity in transformations that are of interest in synthesis, surface chemistry, and materials science. (Mes)PhSi(OMe)₂ ( 1 ) (Mes = mesityl) and (Mes)PhSiCl₂ ( 5 ) were chosen as starting compounds for the controlled synthesis of methoxy-, amino-, and chloro-functionalized unsymmetric disiloxanes. Two synthesis routes towards (Mes)PhSi(OMe)(OSiPh₃) ( 3 ) were followed, one via the aminomethoxysilane (Mes)PhSi(OMe)(NC₄H₈) ( 2 ) and the other via the chlorodisiloxane (Mes)PhSiCl(OSiPh₃) ( 6 ). The amino-substituted disiloxane (Mes)PhSi(NC₄H₈)(OSiPh₃) ( 4 ) was obtained from the chloro derivative 6 with N-pyrrolidinyllithium, but the same reaction starting from compound 3 was not successful. All provided disiloxanes were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.     

Blue-light-emitting and hole-transporting molecular materials based on amorphous triphenylamine-functionalized twisted binaphthyl

Two stable blue-light-emitting molecular materials containing twisted binaphthyl and peripheral triphenylamine groups were synthesized by Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions. Both compounds exhibit excellent thermal and morphologic stabilities, high glass transition temperatures and good fluorescence quantum yield in films. They serve as both hole-transporting and blue emission materials in organic light-emitting diodes with good external quantum efficiencies.     

Separation of binaphthyl enantiomers by capillary zone electrophoresis and electrokinetic chromatography

The capillary electrophoretic (CE) separation of the enantiomers of three binaphthyl compounds is investigated. Several CE modes such as cyclodextrin (CD) modified capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) (CD-CZE), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), cyclodextrin electrokinetic chromatography (CD-EKC), etc. are employed for the simultaneous enantiomer separation of the three solutes. The successful separation was achieved by combining two modes, in other words by using more than two chiral selectors. A development of the CE enantiomer separation is demonstrated for the binaphthyl compounds. The enantioselectivity of binaphthyl compounds is alo briefly discussed.     

Synthesis and Properties of Backbone Silylated Imidazol-2-thiones

Imidazole-2-thiones have attracted considerable interest in the past as materials for potential applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Herein, the synthesis of a series of backbone silylated 1,3-dialkylimidazol-2-thiones is reported. The developed synthesis protocol involves the silylation of N,N-dimethylimidazol-2-thione 1 followed by the addition of organochlorosilanes R_nSiCl_4–n (R=Me, Ph; n=0–4) and enabled the synthesis of the C-silylated derivatives with monocyclic, silyl-bridged or fused tricyclic structures. Reactivity studies performed with N,N-dimethyl-4,5-bistrimethylsilylimidazole-2-thione as a model substance showed surprisingly stable silicon-vinyl bonds and reactivity patterns closely related to those observed for the unsilylated species 1 . Combined UV-spectroscopic and computational studies revealed only minor impact of the silyl substituents on the electronic structure of the imidazol-2-thione ring.     

Study on the electronic effects on stereoconservativity of Suzuki coupling in chiral groove of binaphthyl

Suzuki diarylation of enantiopure 2,2′-diiodo-1,1′-binaphthyl catalyzed by triphenylphosphane palladium complex is accompanied by almost complete racemization of binaphthyl moiety (7% e.e.). Based on formerly proposed mechanism, secondary oxidative addition of Pd(II) to Pd(IV)-complex, competitive to transmetallation, is expected to be responsible for racemization. In accordance with it, racemization pathway can be suppressed in the favour of stereoconservative route by electronic factors, which control the rate of oxidative addition. Among the electronic factors, decreasing donating ability of the tested phosphane ligands resulted in increase of e.e. of the diarylated product up to 65%, using triindol-1-ylphosphane. However, this factor slows down also the rate of the primary oxidative addition that lowers the yield of the diarylated product. Further decrease in donating ability of the ligand makes palladium complex almost inactive in this cross-coupling reaction. Effect of the leaving group of binaphthyl 2,2′-dielectrophile (as a matter of the reactivity of C-X bond towards oxidative addition) was found to be even more dramatic: almost stereoconservative route in case of 2,2′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl (95% e.e.), but no reaction in case of corresponding ditriflate.     

Preparation of "click" binaphthyl stationary phase and its application for separation of anthraquinones from Rheum palmatum L

An organosilane containing binaphthyl functional group was synthesized by clicking 2,2'-bis(prop-2-ynyloxy)-1,1'-binaphthyl with 3-azidopropyltriethoxysilane (AzPTES). The "click" binaphthyl stationary phase was then synthesized by covalently bonding the organosilane onto silica beads. In this synthetic method, the residue of copper iodide (CuI) catalyst can be controlled at a very low level. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were well retained on the "click" binaphthyl column, and showed different retention factors (k) and separation ratio (α) values from those on octadecylsilyl (ODS) column due to the π-π interaction between the analytes and the stationary phase. The anthraquinone compounds in Rheum palmatum L. were selectively separated and enriched into a fraction by the "click" binaphthyl column. By using this way, the complexity of the sample was largely reduced. Twelve of anthraquinones were recognized by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. This stationary phase will be very useful for separating and enriching similar compounds with planar aromatic structures from complex traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) samples.     

Synthesis of di- and trisilanes with potentially chelating substituents

Silylenes 2 or 4, generated by thermolysis of cyclotrisilanes 1 and 3, were inserted into the SiCl or SiH bonds of monosilanes to yield a variety of disilanes, which can be further functionalized subsequently. In a few cases, trisilanes are accessible by the reaction of 1 with disilanes. The reaction of a metalated silane with a chlorosilane is an alternative method for the formation of SiSi bonds, which turned out to be especially useful for the synthesis of bulkily substituted disilanes. Some of the new dichlorodi- and trisilanes themselves serve as thermal precursors of silylenes 2 or 4, the extrusion of which can be catalyzed by 1 or 3 in certain cases.     

Synthesis, structure, and catalytic activity of rhodium complexes with new chiral binaphthyl-based NHC-ligands

Three new chiral NHC-rhodium complexes have been prepared from the reactions between [Rh(COD)Cl]₂, NaOAc, KI, and dibenzimidazolium salts 3, 4 or 5, which are derived from (S)-2,2′-diamino-1,1′-binaphthyl. The steric and electronic effects of the ligand play an important role in the complex formation. For example, treatment of pyridine substituted dibenzimidazolium salts 3 or 4 with 0.5 equiv of [Rh(COD)Cl]₂ in the presence of NaOAc and KI in CH₃CN at 85 °C gives the chiral Rh(III) complexes 6 and 7, respectively. However, under similar reaction conditions, pyridine-N-oxide substituted dibenzimidazolium salt 5 affords a binuclear Rh(I) complex 8. All compounds have been characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, and elemental analyses. The solid-state structures of compounds 4-8 have been further confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses. Rhodium complexes 6-8 show good catalytic activity for the asymmetric hydrosilylation of acetophenone with moderate ee values.     

Retention behaviour of binaphthyl compounds in enantiomeric separation by microcolumn liquid chromatography with micellar bile-salt mobile phases

Summary Optical isomers of substituted binaphthyl, compounds such as 2,2-dihydroxy-1,1-dinaphthyl and 1,1-binaphthyl-2,2-diyl hydrogenphosphate are, separated by HPLC using micellar bile-salt mobile phases. Operating conditions which affect the optical resolution of these enantiomers are examined. The largest separation factor achieved for these enantiomers is 2.74. The elution order of the latter enantiomers changes with mobile phase composition.     

Direct Synthesis of Organohalogenosilanes

The direct synthesis of organohalogenosilanes, particularly methyl- and phenylchlorosilanes, is the main process for the production of the monomers required for silicone polymers. This complex heterogeneous catalytic reaction involves the interaction of a gaseous component (the organic halide) with two solid components (silicon and copper), the relative quantities of which change as the reaction proceeds. The mechanism of the direct synthesis has not yet been conclusively established. The free-radical mechanism originally proposed supposes the formation of organic free radicals. On the other hand, the chemisorption mechanism suggested later postulates the dissociative adsorption of the organic halide on the silicon-copper double center (the silicon and the copper being joined by a chemical bond). The results obtained so far indicate that the chemisorption mechanism is of decisive importance, but it is not impossible that both mechanisms operate simultaneously.     

Enantiomeric separations of binaphthyl derivatives by capillary electrophoresis using N-(2-hydroxydodecyl)-L-threonine as chiral selector: effect of organic additives

The chiral selectivity of a novel amphiphile, N-(2-hydroxydodecyl)-L-threonine (2-HDT), was evaluated for enantiomeric resolution of three binaphthyl derivatives (+/-)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol, (+/-)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine, and (+/-)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diylhdrogen phosphate (BNP) by micellar EKC. The effects of three organic modifiers, methanol, isopropanol, and acetonitrile, on the separations of enantiomers of these compounds were investigated. Separation of enantiomers could be achieved in relatively dilute solutions of the pure surfactant. However, best separations of enantiomers were obtained only in the presence of 10% v/v acetonitrile. Enantiomeric impurity in nonracemic mixtures of R- and S-forms of BNP was determined.     

Synthesis of binaphthyl bridged chiral bis-corrole

Chiral bis-corrole 1 and 2 were prepared by reaction of(s)-2,2′-bis(bromomethyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl and 10-(4-hydroxylphenyl)- 5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)corrole or 10-(3-hydroxylphenyl)-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)corrole in DMF at 60℃in the presence of anhydrous K_2CO_3 with an isolated yield～8%.Both 1 and 2 exhibit unsymmetrical induced circular dichroism(ICD)in the soret band with positive exciton chirality.     

Synthesis and structure of silyl acetonitriles

An efficient route for the preparation of Mes₂HSiCH₂CN (1) and (Mes₂HSi)₂CHCN (2) is reported (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl). Although the X-ray analyses for 1 and 2 reveal the CH_nCN functionality (n = 1, 2) to be shielded by the Mes₂HSi group, hydrolysis under basic conditions gave exclusively Mes₂HSiOH (3), as a result of hydroxide-induced Si-C bond cleavage. In the solid state 3 is a tetramer forming an eight membered ring by H-bond interactions.     

Establishment of a search library about benzylisoquinoline alkaloids based on selective separation on the binaphthyl column and standard analysis on C18 column

A search library about benzylisoquinoline alkaloids was established based on preparation of alkaloid fractions from Rhizoma coptidis, Cortex phellodendri, and Rhizoma corydalis. In this work, two alkaloid fractions from each herbal medicine were first prepared based on selective separation on the “click” binaphthyl column. And then these alkaloid fractions were analyzed on C18 column by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Many structure‐related compounds were included in these alkaloids fractions, which led to easy separation and good MS response in further work. Therefore, a search library of 52 benzylisoquinoline alkaloids was established, which included eight aporphine, 19 tetrahydroprotoberberine, two protopine, two benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline, and 21 protoberberine alkaloids. The information of the search library contained compound names, structures, retention times, accurate masses, fragmentation pathways of benzylisoquionline alkaloids, and their sources from three herbal medicines. Using such a library, the alkaloids, especially those trace and unknown components in some herbal medicine could be accurately and quickly identified. In addition, the distribution of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in the herbal medicines could be also summarized by searching the source samples in the library.     

Synthesis and evaluation of P-chirogenic monodentate binaphthyl phosphines

P-Chirogenic monodentate binaphthyl phosphines were prepared in five steps from enantiomerically pure BINOL. This approach supposes the utilization of two methods previously developed in our group, the formation of secondary phosphine oxide, and the reduction of tertiary phosphine oxide using the association of tetramethyldisiloxane and Ti(OⁱPr)₄. During the last reduction step, only the formation of the more stable diastereoisomer was observed. This product was employed as a ligand for the palladium catalyzed hydrosilylation of styrene to afford the corresponding alcohol with high yield and enantiomeric excess.     

Synthesis and characterisation of new ditopic receptors for guanosine

Novel ditopic receptors for guanosine have been prepared and characterised. Their association constants with a lipophilic guanosine derivative are somewhat smaller than the expected values for a guanosine-cytidine base pair, but remain in a useful range for building supramolecular structures.     

Synthesis and characterisation of some new chalcone liquid crystals

A series of new chalcones with four aromatic rings is synthesised and characterised. The chemical structures of chalcones are evaluated by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques. The compounds were investigated for liquid crystalline properties using differential scanning calorimetry and polarising optical microscopy with hot stage. The results indicate that the formation of mesophase type is dependent on the alkyl chain length at one end of the molecule. Compounds 9a–d with relatively shorter chains show SmA and nematic mesophases, whereas 9e–g exhibit SmC and SmA mesophases. Compound 9h having a cyano group at one end, exhibit SmA and nematic mesophases.
