Novel Ring Contraction Reaction for the Synthesis of Functionalized Tetrathiamacrocyclic Ligand Molecules

Chlorination of [14]aneS(4)-ol (1,4,8,11-tetrathiatetradecan-6-ol) and cis/trans-[14]aneS(4)-diol (cis/trans-1,4,8,11-tetrathiatetradecane-6,13-diol) yields the corresponding dichloro-substituted macrocycles [14]aneS(4)-Cl (1,4,8,11-tetrathiatetradecane 6-chloride) and cis/trans-[14]aneS(4)-Cl(2) (cis/trans-1,4,8,11-tetrathiatetradecane 6,13-dichloride) in good yield. Thiomethylation of the chlorides produces the ring-contracted pendent thioether macrocycles [13]aneS(4)-CH(2)SCH(3) (1,4,7,10-tetrathiatridecane-5-(methylthio)methane) and cis/trans-anti-[12]aneS(4)-(CH(2)SCH(3))(2) (1,4,7,10-tetrathiadodecane-5,11-bis((methylthio)methane)). The mechanism of the ring contraction reaction is discussed in terms of the reactivity of the monochlorinated macrocycle toward ring contraction and the stereochemistry of the chlorinated intermediates and the thiomethylated products, which are based on the X-ray crystal structure analyses of trans-[14]aneS(4)-Cl(2) and trans-anti-[12]aneS(4)-(CH(2)SCH(3))(2).     

Novel Rearrangements of 2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol Derivatives: Formation of Dialkyl Sulfide, Dialkyl Disulfide, and 1,2,3-Tris(alkylthio)propane

The base alkylation of 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol with alkyl halides leads in good yield to 2,3-bis(alkylthio)-1-propanol and dialkyl sulfide. The reaction of 2,3-bis(alkylthio)-1-propanol with catalytic concentrated sulfuric acid proceeds with rearrangement to give 1,2,3-tris(alkylthio)propane and dialkyl disulfide. The rearrangement reaction takes place through a common intermediate thiaranium intermediate 8.     

Preparation of 6,13-bis(trimethylsilyl)pentacene and formation of second-ring Diels-Alder adduct of pentacene

6,13-Bis(trimethylsilyl)pentacene was synthesized by a coupling reaction of bicyclic dilithiobutadiene with diiodonaphthalene followed by aromatization. Diels-Alder reaction of 6,13-bis(trimethylsilyl)pentacene with dienophiles afforded the corresponding second-ring adducts. Elimination of two silyl groups gave the second-ring Diels-Alder adducts of parent pentacene.

Photochromic Dihetarylethylenes. 22. Synthesis and Photochromic Properties of Unsymmetrical Alkylthio-substituted 1,2-Bis(dithienyl)perfluorocyclopentenes

Certain unsymmetrical 1,2-bis(dithienyl)perfluorocyclopentenes have been synthesized containing alkylthio, bromo, carboxy, and benzothiazolyl substituents in the thiophene rings. It was shown that on irradiation with UV light they all display photochromic properties, with the exception of the derivative containing an alkylthio group in the reaction center of one of the thiophene rings.For the anniversary of Academician N.

Synthesis of tetrachloro-azapentacene as an ambipolar organic semiconductor with high and balanced carrier mobilities

Two new azapentacene derivatives 9,10-dibromo-6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-1-azapentacene (a) and 8,9,10,11-tetrachloro-6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-1-azapentacene (b) were synthesized, and their FET properties were investigated. Compound b exhibits high and balanced ambipolar transport properties, with the hole and electron mobilities reaching up to 0.12 and 0.14 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), respectively. This work suggests that chlorination to the N-heteropentacene framework is an efficient way for producing high performance ambipolar organic semiconductors.     

Synthesis of 6,13-Dihydroxyimino-5,12-Dimethyl- 7,14-Dioxo-1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-Diene

6,13-Dihydroxyimino-5,12-dimethyl-7,14-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene 2 was prepared by condensation of ethyl α-oximinoacetoacetate with ethylenediamine in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. Reduction of 2 gave the corresponding 6,13-dihydroxyimino-5,12-dimethyl-7,14-dioxo-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane 3 . Acylation of 2 afforded 6,13-bis(O-acetoxyimino)-5,12-dimethyl-7,14-dioxo-1,4,8,1 l-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene 4 . The structures of 2 , 3 and 4 were determined by IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy.     

1-(alkylthio)-polyfluoroalkynes. Reactions with mercaptans and thermal transformations

1-(Alkylthio)difluoropropynes regioselectively add dialkylamines and mercaptans with formation of 1-(alkylthio)-2-dialkylamino(alkylthio)ethenes, which exist only in the form of one (presumably the trans isomer) geometrical isomer. Thermal transformation of 1-(alkylthio)difluoropropynes occurs at a temperature of under 100°C and leads to the formation of 2,4-bis(polyfluoroalkyl)-3-(alkylthio)thiophenes. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.Heteroatom Chem 9:151–154, 1998     

Template synthesis of a tetraazamacrocyclic ligand with two pendant pyridinyl groups: properties of the isomers of the metal-free ligand and of their first-row transition metal compounds

The one-step reaction of [Cu(en)(2)](2+) (en = 1,2-diaminoethane) with formaldehyde, ethyl 2-pyridyl acetate, and base produces a mixture of [Cu(s-pypymac)](2+) and [Cu(a-pypymac)](2+) (s-pypymac = syn-6,13-bis(2-pyridinyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, a-pypymac = anti-6,13-bis(2-pyridinyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; syn-to-anti ratio approximately 1:9) in low yield (6%). Ion exchange chromatography is used for isomer separation, and the two isomers of the metal-free ligand are obtained by reduction of the copper(II) complexes and subsequent ion exchange chromatography. Crystal structure analyses of the metal-free a-pypymac ligand, of two isomeric copper(II) compounds of a-pypymac and one of s-pypymac, and of the cobalt(III) complexes of a- and s-pypymac and nickel(II), as well as zinc(II) complexes of a-pypymac, are reported and discussed on the basis of the expectations from force field calculations and from published experimental data of the transition metal compounds of the bis-pendant amine derivative diammac.

Preparation and Reactivity of 1,3-Bis(alkylthio)allenes and Tetrathiacyclic Bisallenes

Reactions of Ph(2)C(3) dianion, prepared from 1,3-diphenylpropyne and n-butyllithium, with alkyl thiocyanates or alkane dithiocyanates gave 1,3-bis(alkylthio)allenes 1 or tetrathiacyclic bisallenes 2, respectively. Thermal reactions of 1 gave thiophenes 4 and 7, benzothiepin 5, 1,2-bis(benzylidene)cyclobutane 6, thiete 8, and alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone 9, and the reactions of tetrathiacyclic bisallenes 2a gave a cyclic dimer, 1,2-bis(benzylidene)cyclobutane derivative 10, quantitatively. Irradiation of 1,3-bis(alkylthio)allenes 1 and tetrathiacyclic bisallenes 2a caused rearrangement to give alkynes 18, 20, and 21. In the irradiation of the cyclic bisallenes 2a, isomerizations from dl to meso and meso to dl isomers were also found. In the reactions of allenes 1 and cyclic bisallenes 2a with diphenyl diazomethane, the diazomethane reacted selectively with the double bond rather than with the sulfur atom.     

Reactions of β-heteroatom substituted α,β-unsaturated ketones with dimethylsulfonium methylide

Utilization of CS2 as a source of C1 synthetic units for the preparation of bis(alkylthio)methanes and alkyl dithioformates

Double insertion of CS2 into two Ru-H bonds of [(dppm)2Ru(H)2] (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) affords the methanedithiolate complex [(dppm)2Ru(eta2-S2CH2)]. The methanedithiolate moiety has been functionalized using 2 equiv of RX resulting in bis(alkylthio)methane derivatives [(dppm)2Ru(RSCH2SR)][X]2. The bis(alkylthio)methane complex loses the bis(alkylthio)methane moiety under very mild conditions and in turn affords the [(dppm)2RuX2] complex from which the starting dihydride [(dppm)2Ru(H)2] has been regenerated via reaction with KOH/EtOH. On the other hand, insertion of CS2 into one Ru-H bond of [(dppe)2Ru(H)2] (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) followed by functionalization using RX results in alkyl dithioformate complex trans-[(dppe)2Ru(H)(SC(SR)H)][X]. In this case also, the alkyl dithioformate moiety gets eliminated under very mild conditions to afford the [(dppe)2Ru(H)(X)] derivative from which the starting dihydride has been regenerated via reaction with NaBH4. The reactions presented here constitute utilization of CS2 as a C1 synthetic source for the generation of useful organic compounds.     

3-Monosubstituted and 3,6-Unsymmetrically disubstituted 1,2,4,5-Tetrazines. A general method of synthesis

A stepwise procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 3,6-unsymmetrically disubstituted- or 3-monosubstituted-1,2,4,5-tetrazines, based upon the facile substitution either of an alkylthio group in 3,6-bis(alkylthio)-1,2,4,5-tetrazines ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) by nitrogen nucleophiles, particularly by hydrazine, or of a bromo group, obtained by oxidation of a hydrazino group or by an independent synthesis, by carbon nucleophiles. The ultraviolet-visible spectra and some nuclear magnetic resonance properties are discussed.

High and balanced hole and electron mobilities from ambipolar thin-film transistors based on nitrogen-containing oligoacences

We demonstrate a strategy for designing high-performance, ambipolar, acene-based field-effect transistor (FET) materials, which is based on the replacement of C-H moieties by nitrogen atoms in oligoacenes. By using this strategy, two organic semiconductors, 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)anthradipyridine (1) and 8,9,10,11-tetrafluoro-6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-1-azapentacene (3), were synthesized and their FET characteristics studied. Both materials exhibit high and balanced hole and electron mobilities, 1 having μ(h) and μ(e) of 0.11 and 0.15 cm(2)/V·s and 3 having μ(h) and μ(e) of 0.08 and 0.09 cm(2)/V·s, respectively. The successful demonstration of high and balanced ambipolar FET properties from nitrogen-containing oligoacenes opens up new opportunities for designing high-performance ambipolar organic semiconductors.
