X射线单晶衍射研究系列功能七元杂环桥联联苯构象

含有七元杂环桥联联苯的π-共轭聚合物是重要的宽禁带光电材料, 其发光性质决定于两苯环间扭曲角. 利用X射线单晶衍射仪确定了系列功能的七元杂环桥联联苯化合物的晶体结构, 比较了桥联原子, 6,6位取代基及分子间弱氢键对这类桥联联苯扭曲构象的影响. 桥联键是—CH2—O—CH2—和—CH2—S—CH2—的七元杂环桥联联苯两苯环间的扭曲角分别为39°和51°, 在6,6位上含有不同取代基的双氧桥联七元杂环桥联联苯的扭曲角存在5°的差异. 在双氧桥联的七元杂环桥联联苯的二聚物中, 桥联的氧原子与非桥联的苯亚基-苯亚基2,2’位置上的两个氢原子之间形成的氢键网络结构导致中心联苯呈现平面构象, 但氢键并没有改变桥联联苯的构象. 七元杂环桥联联苯的构象主要由桥联原子决定, 同时分子间相互作用亦能轻微调控这类桥联联苯的扭曲角.

Phenyl-bridging in the 2-phenylethyl radical. A molecular orbital study

Density functional theory at the UB3PW91/6-31G(d.p) level on the open and bridged forms of the 2-phenylethyl radical are reported here together with activation energies and calculated rate constants for rearrangement of the bridged to the open radical. In addition, the effect of substituents on the aryl ring upon the relative energies, activation energies, and rate constants for rearrangement from the bridged to open forms are presented. Para-substituents include CH3, CF3.CN, CHO.OH, SH, O-, S-, and NO. The parent bridged radical is found to be 10.1 kcal/mol higher in enthalpy than the open form. The activation energy for conversion of the bridged to open radical is 3.96 kcal/mol. Para-substitution by CN or CHO significantly lowers the difference in energy between the species, while substitution by NO renders the bridged form more stable. Para-substitution by CN or CHO coupled with substitution with CN in the ortho-positions makes the open and bridged radical approximately equivalent in energy.

Unprecedented Halogenation of Biginelli Compounds of Salicyldehyde

Unprecedented results are obtained from bromination of the normal/non-bridged and abnormal/bridged Biginelli compound of salicyldehyde. Bromination with 2,4,4,6-tetrabromocyclohexa-2,5-dienone yields a bridged monobromo-derivative and a bridged dibromo-derivative, respectively, whereas bromination with bromine and acetic acid gives a mixture of those two products in each case. Bromination with N-bromosuccinimide gives a third product, namely a tribromo-derivative, in addition to those two products. Iodination of both the substrates using iodine monochloride (Wijs solution) furnishes a bridged monoiodo-derivative only.     

Molecular orbitals studies on two limiting structures of conjugated vinyl cation,C4H4F+

Nonempirical LCAO-MO-SCF calculations employing STO-3G minimal basis set have been carried out to examine the two limiting, open and bridged, structures of a conjugative fluorovinyl cation system and the interconversion of these two structures. The bridged ion is found to be 37.6 kcal/mole higher in energy than the open ion. Three pathways of converting the open ion to bridged ion were investigated. The pathway in which conjugation is preserved along the reaction profile gives the lowest energy barrier and depicts the bridged ion as a transition state.

Synthesis of covalently linked boron-dipyrromethene-chromophore conjugates using 3-bromo boron-dipyrromethene as a key precursor

3-Bromo boron dipyrromethene (3-bromo BODIPY) has been used as key synthon to prepare one ethynyl bridged and six ethynylphenyl bridged BODIPY-chromophore conjugates using mild Pd(0) coupling conditions. The chromophores possessing very distinct features, such as anthracene, BODIPY, terpyridine, porphyrin, Zn(II)porphyrin, 21,23-dithiaporphyrin and thiasapphyrin were connected at 3-position of boronboron-dipyrromethene dye by coupling of 3-bromo BODIPY with ethynyl or ethynylphenyl chromophore in toluene/triethylamine in the presence of catalytic amount of AsPh₃/Pd₂(dba)₃ at 40 °C followed by column chromatographic purification. The spectral studies indicated that the interaction is stronger in ethynyl bridged BODIPY-chromophore conjugate compared to ethynylphenyl bridged BODIPY-chromophore conjugates. The steady-state fluorescence indicated that in ethynyl bridged BODIPY-anthracene conjugate, the BODIPY unit act as energy acceptor and showed a possibility of energy transfer from donor anthracene unit to acceptor BODIPY unit on selective excitation of anthracene unit. However, in ethynylphenyl bridged BODIPY-porphyrin conjugates, the BODIPY unit act as energy donor and exhibited a possibility of singlet-singlet energy transfer from BODIPY unit to porphyrin unit.     

Synthesis of bridged molecular gyroscopes with closed topologies: triple one-pot macrocyclization

We describe the synthesis and characterization of six bridged molecular gyroscopes with m-alkoxy-substituted trityl stators and dialkynylphenylene rotators. All of the bridged molecular gyroscopes were synthesized convergently to form the phenolic stator-rotator framework, while the alkyl and benzophenone bridges were installed in one step by relatively efficient one-pot reactions to form macrocyclic diether or diester linkages. The isolated yield per bond-forming reaction varied from ca. 42% to 80%, with one exception where macrocyclization failed to produce the desired product. The molecular structure and crystal packing of each of the bridged molecular gyroscopes were determined via single crystal X-ray diffraction. Like most molecular gyroscopes with open topologies previously studied, the singly bridged structures pack by interdigitating one trityl stator in one molecule next to the rotator of an adjacent molecule in the lattice. In contrast, the triply bridged molecular gyroscopes were found to pack in lamellar sheets that prevent the rotator-stator interdigitation of adjacent molecules. However, solvent molecules and conformationally flexible bridges tend to fill in the packing volume by collapsing next to the rotator or by extending one of their bridges into the cavity of a neighboring molecule.     

A Doubly Bridged Bis(phenylethynyl)benzene: Different from a Twisted Tolan

The synthesis of a doubly bridged 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene is reported. The target displays photophysical properties, distinctly different from that of its congeners, the singly bridged tolans. Quantum-chemical calculations suggest a lack of planarization of the bridged bis(phenylethynyl)benzene in the first excited state.     

Organorhodium‐Functionalized Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica: High Hydrophobicity Promotes Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation in Aqueous Medium

Three organosilica‐bridged periodic mesoporous organosilicas were prepared by the immobilization of a chiral N‐sulfonylated diamine‐based organorhodium complex within their silicate network. Structural analysis and characterization confirmed their well‐defined single‐site active rhodium centers, whilst electron microscopy revealed their highly ordered hexagonal mesostructures. Among these three different organosilica‐bridged periodic mesoporous organosilicas, the ethylene‐bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica catalyst exhibited excellent heterogeneous catalytic activity and high enantioselectivity in the aqueous asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones. This superior catalytic performance was attributed to its salient hydrophobicity, whilst its comparable enantioselectivity relative to the homogeneous catalyst was derived from the confined nature of the chiral organorhodium catalytic sites. Furthermore, this ethylene‐bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica could be conveniently recovered and reused at least 12 times without the loss of its catalytic activity. This feature makes this catalyst attractive for practical organic synthesis in an environmentally friendly manner. This study offers a general way of optimizing the bridged organosilica moiety in periodic mesoporous organosilicas, thereby enhancing its catalytic activity in heterogeneous catalysis.     

Heterolysis of Dihydrogen by Silver Alkoxides and Fluorides

Alkoxide‐bridged disilver cations react with dihydrogen to form hydride‐bridged cations, releasing free alcohol. Hydrogenolysis of neutral silver fluorides affords hydride‐bridged disilver cations as their bifluoride salts. These reactions proceed most efficiently when the supporting ligands are expanded N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) derived from 6‐ and 7‐membered cyclic amidinium salts. Kinetics studies show that silver fluoride hydrogenolysis is first‐order in both silver and dihydrogen.     

A practical synthesis of bridged diarylacetylenes

An efficient and practical synthesis of bridged diarylacetylenes in multigram quantities has been successfully carried out using high-yielding (classical) synthetic methods and readily available starting materials. The structural analysis of the representative bridged diarylacetylenes by X-ray crystallography strongly suggests that conformations, bending of the linear triple bond, and the angle between the mean planes of aromatic rings in various bridged diarylacetylenes are governed by the p-pi conjugation among the aromatic rings and the ethereal groups. Furthermore, the synthetic scheme also allows the preparation of (appropriately) bromo-substituted bridged diarylacetylenes which hold potential for their future usage for the preparation of polymeric analogues as well as the hexaarylbenzene derivatives for potential applications in the emerging area of molecular electronics and nanotechnology.     

Spectral and electrochemical investigations on some condensation products of copper(II)-amino acid complexes

Summary Condensation products of several copper(II) amino acid complexes with formaldehyde or acetaldehyde have been prepared together with ethene-bridged copper(II) amino acid complexes. Structures were deduced from analytical and spectral data. Electronic spectral, e.s.r. and electrochemical behaviour at neutral and various low pH conditions were examined. Spectra of the unbridged complexes indicate the formation of [CuL]⁺ type species at pHca. 5, whereas the bridged complexes are stable at pH 3. The electrochemical behaviour of each complex is identical except for the doubly bridged complex. These results are explained in terms of a three-step electrode mechanism. The data show that the planarity of the complexes increases from unbridged, to bridged, to doubly bridged structures.     

Atroposelective Access to 1,3-Oxazepine-Containing Bridged Biaryls via Carbene-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of Imines

We disclose herein an atroposelective synthesis of novel bridged biaryls containing medium-sized rings via N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis. The reaction starts with addition of the carbene catalyst to the aminophenol-derived aldimine substrate. Subsequent oxidation and intramolecular desymmetrization lead to the formation of 1,3-oxazepine-containing bridged biaryls in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities. These novel bridged biaryl products can be readily transformed into chiral phosphite ligands. Preliminary density function theory calculations suggest that the origin of enantioselectivity arises from the more favorable frontier molecular orbital interactions in the transition state leading to the major product.

Construction of Bridged Benzazepines via Photo-Induced Dearomatization

Bridged benzazepine scaffolds, possessing unique structural and physicochemical activities, are widespread in various natural products and drugs. The construction of these skeletons often requires elaborate synthetic effort with low efficiency. Herein, we develop a simple and divergent approach for constructing various bridged benzazepines by a photocatalytic intermolecular dearomatization of naphthalene derivatives with readily available α-amino acids. The bridged motif is created via a cascade sequence involving photocatalytic 1,4-hydroaminoalkylation, alkene isomerization and cyclization. Interestingly, the diastereoselectivity can be regulated through different reaction modes in the cyclization step. Moreover, aminohydroxylation and its further bromination have also been demonstrated to access highly functionalized bridged benzazepines. Preliminary mechanistic studies have been performed to get insights into the mechanism. This method provides a divergent synthetic approach for construction of highly functionalized bridged benzazepines, which have been otherwise difficult to access.
