Effects of coumarin substituents on the photophysical properties of newly synthesised phthalocyanine derivatives

In this study, synthesis of new ligands, 8-hydroxy-3-[p-(3′,4′-dicyanophenoxy)-phenyl]coumarin and 8-hexyloxy-3-[p-(3′,4′-dicyanophenoxy)-phenyl]coumarin, and their phthalocyanines, 2,9,16,23-tetrakis[8-hexyloxy-3-(4-oxyphenyl)coumarin]-metal-free and metallophthalocyanines {M[Pc(OBzCou)₄] (M = 2H, Zn(II), Co(II); Bz: benzene; Cou: coumarin)} were synthesised. The novel chromogenic compounds were characterised by elemental analysis: ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MALDI-TOF, IR and UV–vis spectral data. The effect of coumarin substituents on the photophysical properties of metal-free (H₂Pc) and zinc phthalocyanines (ZnPc) derivatives has been examined. Spectrophotometric measurements revealed that coumarin-substituted ZnPc derivatives were in the unaggregated form, whereas those of H₂Pc species were in aggregated form. It means that substitution of coumarin derivative prevents the cluster formation in the presence of zinc ion in the centre of Pc.     

SYNTHESIS AND PHOTOCYTOTOXICITY OF SOME NEW SUBSTITUTED PHTHALOCYANINES

Some new, ring-substituted phthalocyanines have been synthesized and underwent preliminary testing for photodynamic activity using the colony forming ability of Chinese hamster cells in culture as an endpoint. Using 4-(3-N,N-diethylaminopropyl)phthalonitrile as a precursor, the previously unknown metal-free 2,9,16,23-tetra-(3-N,N-diethylaminopropyl)phthalocyanine was prepared and converted to its zinc (II) and its cationic water-soluble 2,9,16,23-tetramethylammonium zinc (II) iodide derivatives. Other new phthalocyanine derivatives tested, include a 2,9,16,23-tetra(2-hydroxymethyl-2-methylbutoxy)phthalocyaninato zinc (II) and 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octahydroxyphthalocyaninato zinc (II) derivatives. Boron tribromide cleavage of the newly prepared and fully characterized 2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octamethoxyphthalocyanine gave the unstable metal-free octahydroxyphthalocyanine, which could only be characterized by ultraviolet-visible, NMR and IR spectroscopy.

Acid-Catalyzed Rearrangements of 5,6-exo-Epoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl Derivatives. Migratory Aptitudes of Acyl vs. Alkyl Groups in Wagner-Meerwein Transpositions

In the presence of HSO₃F/Ac₂O in CH₂CL₂, 2-exo- and 2-endo-cyano-5,6-exo-epoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl acetates ( 6a , b ) gave products derived from the epoxide-ring opening and a 1,2-shift of the unsubstituted alkyl group (σ bond C(3)–C(4)). In contrast, under similar conditions, the 5,6-exo-epoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one ( 6c ) gave 5-oxo-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-3,7-diyl diacetates 20 and 21 arising from the 1,2-shift of the acyl group. Acid treatment of 5,6-exo-epoxy-2,2-dimethoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ( 6d ) and of 5,6-exo-epoxy-2,2-bis(benzyloxy)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ( 6e ) gave minor products arising from epoxide-ring opening and the 1,2-shift of σ bond C(3)–C(4) and major products ( 25 , 29 ) arising from the 1,3-shift of a methoxy and benzyloxy group, respectively. Under similar conditions, 5,6-exo-epoxy-2,2-ethylenedioxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane ( 6f ) gave 1,1-(ethylenedioxy)-2-(2-furyl)ethyl acetate ( 32 , major) and a minor product 33 , arising from the 1,2-shift of σ bond C(3)–C(4). The following order of migratory aptitudes for 1,2-shifts toward electron-deficient centers has been established: acyl > alkyl > alkyl α-substituted with inductive electron-withdrawing groups. This order is valid for competitive Wagner-Meerwein rearrangements involving equilibria between carbocation intermediates with similar exothermicities.     

Synthesis of substituted disulfonyl-containing polycyclic azines with the bridgehead nitrogen atom. Effects of the structure of 3-substituted pyridinium ylides on the regioselectivity of their reactions with <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>-1,2-di(alkylsulfonyl)-1,2-dichloroethenes

Heating the substituted pyridinium and isoquinolinium salts with E-1,2-di(alkylsulfonyl)-1,2-dichloroethenes in either chloroform or acetone in the presence of three-fold excess of Et₃N gave high yields of substituted 1,2-di(alkylsulfonyl)indolizines and 1,2-di(alkylsulfonyl) pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines, respectively. Effects of the structure of 3-substituted pyridinium ylides on the regioselectivity of their reaction with E-1,2-di(alkylsulfonyl)-1,2-dichloroethenes were revealed. It was shown that the presence of electron-releasing and electron-withdrawing substituents in the pyridinium ylide favors the formation of 8-substituted and 6-substituted 1,2-(dialkylsulfonyl)indolizines, respectively.

Soluble phthalocyanines, including tetrakis(2,9,16,23-cumylphenoxy) copper phthalocyanines (CuPc(β-CP)₄), tetrakis(1,8,15,22-cumylphenoxy) copper phthalocyanines (CuPc(α-CP)₄) as well as tetrakis(2,9,16,23-tert-butyl) copper phthalocyanines (CuPc(β-t-butyl)₄), and porphyrins (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrins; M(TBP), M=H₂, Zn, Cu, Mg, InCl, AlCl) have been quickly synthesized by microwave irradiation. Furthermore, their reverse saturable absorption have also been investigated by dissolving them in solvent or incorporating them in polymer-silica hybrid material with a sol-gel process with polyvinyl butyral and tetraethyl orthosilicate as precursors. A new method for the preparation process of phthalocyanines and porphyrins in the solids has been successfully used.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of 2,3-dihydro-2-[(o- and p-substituted)anilinylidene]-1H-4-(p-methylphenyl)-7-[(o- and p-methyl)phenoxy]-1,5-benzodiazepines

Synthesis of 8-substituted naphtho[2,1-b]thiophenes with cationic side chains at position 4

A series of five 8-substituted α-[bis(2-hydroxyethyi)aminoethyl]naphtho[2,1-b]thiophenes 7 and a series of seven N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-8-substituted naphtho[2,1-b]thiophene-4-carboxamides 8 have been synthesized. The naphtho[2,1-b]thiophene-4-carboxylic acids 4 were prepared by photooxidative cyclization of α-(2-thienyi)-β-arylacrylic acids 3. The carboxylic acids 4 were converted by a conventional five step route involving α-bromoketone intermediates to the a-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethyl]-8-substituted naphtho-[2,1-6]thiophene-4-methanols 7 and by a standard two-step amide preparation to the N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-8-substituted naphtho[2,1-6]thiophene-4-carboxamides 8 .     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of substituted benzaldehydes by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium chlorochromate

Kinetics of oxidation of substituted benzaldehydes by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium chlorochromate (DMAPCC) in protic solvent system has been studied at 303 K. The product of oxidation has been identified as benzoic acid. A unit order dependence of the reaction with respect [DMAPCC] and [benzaldehyde] has been observed. The reaction has been found to be catalysed by H⁺ ions. Decrease in the dielectric constant of the medium decreases the rate. To study the effect of structure reactivity relationships some para-substituted benzaldehydes were subjected to oxidation kinetics by DMAPCC at four different temperatures and thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The isokinetic plot and Exner plot shows that all the para-substituted benzaldehydes are oxidised by the same mechanism. The Hammett plot is linear with positive ρ value. From the observed kinetic results a suitable mechanism was proposed.

Novel pyridinium salts as cationic thermal and photoinitiators and their photosensitization properties

Novel pyridinium salts [N‐(α‐phenylbenzyl)‐, N‐(1‐naphthylmethyl)‐, or N‐cinnamyl p‐ or o‐cyanopyridinium hexafluoroantimonates] were synthesized by the reaction of p‐ or o‐cyanopyridine and the corresponding bromides followed by anion exchange with KSbF₆. These pyridinium salts polymerized epoxy monomers at lower temperatures than previously reported for N‐benzyl‐2‐cyanopyridinium hexafluoroantimonate. The o‐substituted pyridinium salts showed higher activity than the p‐substituted ones, and the crosslinked epoxy polymers cured with these initiators showed higher glass‐transition temperatures. These pyridinium salts photoinitiated radical polymerization as well as cationic polymerization. The photopolymerization was accelerated by the addition of aromatic ketones as photosensitizers. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 1037–1046, 2002     

Synthesis and Enantiodifferentiating Properties of Chiral Aza Crown Ethers

Alkylation of 2-substituted (4S,5S)-4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolanes with 9-benzyl-1,17-diiodo-3,6,12,15-tetraoxa-9-azaheptadecane afforded new chiral aza and diaza crown ethers as a result of [1+1] and [2+2] additions. Their catalytic debenzylation gave the corresponding derivatives with a secondary amino group. The reaction of diethyl (+)-tartrate and diethyl (4S,5S)-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-diacetates with 1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane led to formation of chiral macrocyclic lactams which were reduced with lithium aluminum hydride. The resulting diaza crown ethers were tested for enantioselectivity in complex formation with L- and D-valine methyl ester by the potentiometric method. In most cases, the aza crown ethers showed better enantioselectivity than their oxygen analogs.
