Quadruply BN-Fused Tetrathia[8]circulenes with Flexible Frameworks: Synthesis,Structures and Properties

Quadruply BN-fused tetrathia[8]circulenes were synthesized through four-fold electrophilic borylation. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the BN-fused tetrathia[8]circulene with peripheral phenyl groups exhibits crystal polymorphism, in which the circulene core adopts both planar and saddle conformations in the solid state. The experimental and theoretical studies revealed that the weaker aromaticity of azaborine compared with benzene renders the flexibility of the BN-fused tetrathia[8]circulenes.     

The Synthesis and Chemistry of 8-Substituted Bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene

8-Bromobicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-cne (7), an intermediate for the preparation of 8-substituted bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-enes, was synthesized by denomination of 1,8,8-tribromobicyclo[5.1.0]octane (6). Compound 7 underwent bromo-lithium exchange followed by nucleophilic substitution reactions to generate bicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (5), 8-methylbicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (10), and 8-trimethylsilylbicyclo[5.1.0]oct-1(8)-ene (11). The bicyclic cyclopropenes 7, 5, 10, and 11 reacted with cyclopentadiene to form adducts 12, 13, 14, and 15, respectively. All of these Diels-Alder adducts are endo-exo isomers (endo-addition from the view of the cyclopropene and exo-addition from the view of the cyclooctene).

Excitonically Coupled Cyclic BF2 Arrays of Calix[8]- and Calix[16]phyrin as Near-IR-Chromophores

Two giant calix[n]phyrin derivatives namely calix[8]- ( 4 ) and calix[16]phyrin ( 5 ), involving two and four BF₂ units, respectively, were prepared through the condensation of the bis-naphthobipyrrolylmethene-BF₂ complex ( 3 ) with pentafluorobenzaldehyde. Calix[n]phyrins 4 and 5 display extremely high extinction coefficients (3.67 and 4.82×10⁵ m ⁻¹ cm⁻¹, respectively) in the near-IR region, which was taken as initial evidence for strong excitonic coupling within these cyclic multi-chromophoric systems. Detailed insights into the effect of excitonic coupling dynamics on the electronic structure and photophysical properties of the macrocycles came from fluorescence, time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) and transient absorption (TA) measurements. Support for these experimental findings came from theoretical studies. Theory and experiment confirmed that the coupling between the excitons depends on the specifics of the calix[n]phyrin structure, not just its size.     

Voltammetric behavior of C60-p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene inclusion complex film

The C₆₀-p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene inclusion complex film has been directly formed on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, and its electrochemical behavior in acetonitrile containing tetra-n-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate as the supporting electrolyte studied.

The synthesis and crystal structure of a novel calix[8] arene ester are reported herein. The calix [8] arene ester derivative has been characterized by IR,NMR and X-ray crystal analysis. The X-ray structure analysis revealed that the 8 phenolic hydroxy groups of the calix [8] arene have been substituted by 4 diethyl dibromomalonate molecules with each two adjacent hydroxy oxygen atoms attached to a bridge diethyl malonate.     

Shaping calixarene frameworks. Synthesis and structure of a calix[8]arene containing three bridging phosphate units

The reaction of p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene with PCl₅, followed by hydrolysis and subsequent esterification with triethyl orthoformate afforded a triphosphate involving all phenolic oxygen atoms of the calixarene framework. As revealed by an X-ray diffraction study, the presence of two μ₃-(O,O,O) and one μ₂-(O,O) bridging phosphoryl groups results in an unusual lengthening of the calix[8]arene loop (longest OO separation: 13.9 Å)

Synthesis of a new colorimetric receptor based on calix[4]pyrrole binding oxime for selective recognition of fluoride ions

A colorimetric anion sensor α-meso-heptaethylcalix[4]pyrrole-meso-3-aminophenyl-p-nitrobenzaldoxime was synthesised and characterised by various spectroscopic techniques. Anion-binding studies were carried out using UV–vis, and ¹H NMR titrations, revealing that the receptor exhibits selective recognition towards F^?  over other anions. The selectivity for F^?  among the halides is attributed mainly to the hydrogen bond interaction of the receptor with F^? . Receptor showed colour change from colourless to yellow in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride with 1:2 stoichiometry. Cyclic voltammetry studies, carried out in CH₃CN, provided evidence of an anion-dependent electrochemical response with F^?  ion. This response was particularly dramatic in the case of receptor after the addition of ～1 equiv. of F^?  ion.     

The electrochemical behavior of (C70)2-p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene complex film

Synthesis of naphthyridone derivatives containing 8-alkoxyimino-1,6-dizaspiro[3.4]octane scaffolds

The synthesis of naphthyridone derivatives containing 8-alkoxyimino-1,6-dizaspiro[3.4]octane scaffolds, the position isomers of the side chain at the C-7 position of Zabofloxacin, has been achieved in eight steps from tert-butyl 3-cyano-4-oxopyrrolidine-1-carboxylate. The possible reaction mechanisms were also proposed. The key spirocyclic carbamate esters, which could be prepared using a modified Hofmann rearrangement strategy, were condensed with naphthyridone nuclei, and the resulting condensates were easily cleaved by TMSI and subsequently cyclized in the presence of K₂CO₃. Moreover, additional N-methylation derivatives were also obtained using the synthetic sequence.     

Excitonically Coupled Cyclic BF2 Arrays of Calix[8]‐ and Calix[16]phyrin as Near‐IR‐Chromophores

Two giant calix[n]phyrin derivatives namely calix[8]‐ ( 4 ) and calix[16]phyrin ( 5 ), involving two and four BF₂ units, respectively, were prepared through the condensation of the bis‐naphthobipyrrolylmethene‐BF₂ complex ( 3 ) with pentafluorobenzaldehyde.

Syntheses of the first bisthiacalix[4]arenes systems bridged by a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) framework have been carried out through triethyl phosphite-mediated dechalcogenation dimerization of the corresponding 1,3-dithiole-2-ones. The cyclic voltammograms of the resulting bisthiacalix[4]arenes tethered by an electroactive TTF unit are provided, and exhibit an electrochemical response in the case of introduction of Ag⁺.     

Synthesis and Solid-State Conformation of a Calix[8]arene 1,5-Diquinone Derivative

The first example of a calix[8]quinone derivative, hexamethoxy-p-tert-butylcalix[8]-1,5-diquinone 5, has been synthesized from p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene 1by exploiting a protection-deprotection procedure. The structure of the 5·toluene inclusion compound has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The calix[8]arene molecule possesses a crystallographic inversion centre and assumes a ‘pseudo-chair-like’ conformation, with two opposite 3/4-cone moieties, which resembles the previously reported chair-like conformation of p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene. The 4 toluene molecules per unit cell occupy interstitial voids and are released in the temperature range of 30–160 °C.This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected issue number.     

Synthesis of Substituted Indolo[1,2- a ]quinoxalines

Abstract

1-(2-Nitrophenyl)indole-2-carboxylates 5, obtained by the N-arylation of indole-2-carboxylates 4, on catalytic reductive cyclization afford indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalino-6(5H)-ones 6. These compounds on reduction with LAH in ether/THF yielded indolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines 7.
