Cavity size effect on ICT-dual emission of p-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2-styrylquinoline: complexation with cyclodextrin derivatives

The effect of cyclodextrin inclusion complex formation on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) of the included 4-N,N-dimethylamino-2-strylquinoline (2-StQ-NMe₂) has been studied in detail. 2-StQ-NMe₂ in presence of α-, β-, γ- and HP-α- and Hp-β-CDs predominantly exhibits ICT fluorescence predominantly than the emission from locally excited state, whereas in presence of HP-γ-CD the later is observed. In presence of α-CD, 2:1 complexation of the 2-StQ-NMe₂ is observed in addition to 1:1 complexation. The observed results are explained by the CD cavity size and an active role for the secondary hydroxyl groups present in the wider rim of the CD cavity and also which finds support from absorption, emission, lifetime and molecular modeling studies.

Quantum chemical study of the transformation of 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and 2-(N-alkylamino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides by protic acids: Tandem hydride transfer/cyclization mechanism

The geometric parameters, the charge distribution, and the energetics of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides and their conjugated acids were studied by density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The mechanism of the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization sequence, which occurs after protonation of N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)-and N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimides, was analyzed. The investigation of the potential energy surface for the tandem hydride transfer/cyclization of the iminium cation that formed upon protonation revealed that the hydride transfer followed by intramolecular cyclization at position 7 of the indole fragment in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-1-yl)maleimide is the preferable process, unlike alternative intramolecular cyclization involving the cationic center at the C(2) atom of the indole fragment and the benzene ring of the N-ethylaniline fragment of the indoleninium cation in N-methyl-2-(N-ethylanilino)-3-(indol-3-yl)maleimide. A study of the key intermediates of the assumed reaction mechanism demonstrated that these intermediates are actually stationary points on the potential energy surface (minima and transition states).

3,3,3-Trifluoro-N′-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2-propanediamine (5) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-diazo-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-nitropropane or 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-nitropropene with 3-aminobenzotrifluoride followed by the reduction of the nitro group. The Michael 1,4-addition of diamine 5 to acrylic acid occurs only at the N(1) atom and affords N-mono-or N,N-dicarboxyethyl derivatives 6 and 7, depending on the reactant ratio. Protolytic equilibria 5–7 in aqueous solutions were studied by pH-potentiometry and UV spectroscopy. Only the aliphatic amino group can be protonated in an aqueous solution, while the aromatic amino group remains unprotonated even in 12 M HCl. The stability constants of transition metal (Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺) complexes with ligands 5–7 were determined by pH-potentiometric titration. The stability of the complexes and selectivity of the ligands toward Cu²⁺ ions increase with an increase in the number of N-carboxyethyl groups. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Syntheses based on anabasine. Preparation and transformations of N-oxides

The oxidation of N-acetyl-and N-benzoylanabasine with the tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)— MoCl₅ system or MCPBA proceeds selectively at the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring. The oxidation of N-methylanabasine under similar conditions gives a mixture of stereo-isomeric N-oxides at the piperidine nitrogen atom, their ratio depending on the reagent used. The oxidation of anabasine by TBHP— MoCl₅ or MCPBA is accompanied by dehydrogenation and results in anabaseine N-oxide. The reactions of anabasine and anabaseine pyridine N-oxides with acetic anhydride were investigated. The substituted 1H-3-pyridin-2-ones were prepared.
