Nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of RF-containing 4-quinolones, 8-aza- and 1-thiochromones with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane

Reactions of N-substituted 2-polyfluoroalkyl-4-quinolones and 8-aza-5,7-dimethyl-2-polyfluoroalkylchromones with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane proceed mainly as a 1,4-nucleophilic trifluoromethylation to give N-substituted 2,2-bis(polyfluoroalkyl)-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones and 5,7-dimethyl-2,2-bis(polyfluoroalkyl)-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-b]pyridin-4-ones after acid hydrolysis. Similar reaction with 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiochromen-4-one proceeds as a 1,2-addition to give 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-yl trimethylsilyl ether.     

Palladium-catalysed reactions of 8-hydroxy- and 8-benzyloxy-5,7-diiodoquinoline under aminocarbonylation conditions

Various 5-carboxamido-7-iodo-8-benzyloxyquinolines were synthesised via selective aminocarbonylation of 5,7-diiodo-8-benzyloxyquinoline in the presence of ‘in situ’ generated palladium(0) catalysts. Under similar conditions (50 °C, 80 bar CO), 5,7-bis(N-tert-butyl-glyoxylamido)-8-hydroxyquinoline was obtained using tert-butylamine as N-nucleophile. The unprotected 5,7-diiodo-8-hydroxyquinoline underwent dehydroiodination resulting in 8-hydroxyquinoline as the major product.

A Theoretical Study on the Stereoisomerism in the Complex of Cucurbit[8]uril with 2,6-Bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)naphthalene

Cucurbit[n]urils (CB [n]),macropolycyclic compounds self-assembled from an acid-catalyzed condensation of glycoluril and formaldehyde1, can form inclusion complexes with a number of organic substrates in water2. Usually, CB [6] is used in the studies because of its easy synthesis, and the driving forces for its binding are considered to be the hydrophobic effect and dipole-dipole interactions. CB[n] 1Very recently, Kim et al reported the synthesis of CB [5], CB [7], and CB [8]3. They fou…     

Dynamics of energy transfer of a dioxolane-substituted pentacene dispersed in 4,4-bis[N-1-naphthyl-N-phenylamino]biphenyl

We examine the steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence of guest-host films featuring a dioxolane-substituted pentacene derivative (2,2,10,10-tetraethyl-6,14-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-1,3,9,11-tetraoxadicyclopenta[b,m]pentacene, EtTP-5) dispersed in the hole transporting material (4,4-bis[N-1-naphthyl-N-phenylamino]biphenyl, alpha-NPD). The films show bright red emission (lambda(max) = 640 nm) as a result of efficient F?rster energy transfer from alpha-NPD host molecules to EtTP-5 guest molecules. High absolute photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (phi(PL) = 76% +/- 4%) and fluorescence lifetime (tau = 18.6 +/- 0.8 ns) were measured at low concentration (0.28 mol % EtTP-5), with moderate PL quenching observed upon increasing the EtTP-5 concentration. The concentrated films (> or = 1.50 mol % EtTP-5) show less evidence of aggregation than previously seen when EtTP-5 was dispersed in tris(quinolin-8-olato)aluminum(III), making alpha-NPD a superior host for the red-emitting EtTP-5.     

Effects of various donor: acceptor blend ratios on photophysical properties in non-fullerene organic bulk heterojunctions

In this work, the donor:acceptor ratio effected photophysical properties of non-fullerene organic solar cells are comparatively investigated. Effective transportation of the photo-generated charge carriers can be obtained with the PDBD-T:ITIC ratio variation. There is no significant energy loss variation exists in the process of changing the D:A ratio.     

New Hyperforin Derivatives from Hypericum revolutum VAHL with Growth-Inhibitory Activity against a Human Colon Carcinoma Cell Line

The crude petroleum-ether extract of the root bark of Hypericum revolutum VAHL (Guttiferae) exhibited in vitro growth-inhibitory activity against the Co-115 human colon carcinoma cell line. Activity-guided fractionation of this extract resulted in the isolation of two new hyperforin derivatives 1 and 2 . The structure of 1 (hyperevolutin A) was established by X-ray analysis as the 4-hydroxy-8-exo-methyl-5,7-exo-bis(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-1-(2-methyl-1-oxopropyl)-8-endo-(4-methylpent-3-enyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene-2,9-dione. The structure of the homologue 2 was deduced by comparison of its UV and ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectra with those of 1 .     

Synthesis, structure, and antibacterial activity of aminobenzofuroxan and aminobenzofurazan

The amination of 4,6-dichloro-5,7-dinitrobenzofuroxan and 4,6-dichloro-5,7-dinitrobenzofurazan with dibenzylamine followed the aromatic nucleophilic substitution pattern (S_NAr) and gave products of replacement of both chlorine atoms in the six-membered ring with elimination of hydrogen chloride. Regardless of the reactant ratio, 4,6-dichloro-5,7-dinitrobenzofuroxan was converted into 4,6-bis(dibenzylamino)-5,7-dinitrobenzofuroxan, whereas 4,6-dichloro-5,7-dinitrobenzofurazan under analogous conditions gave rise to unusual bisammonium derivative which lost proton from the amino group on C⁴ and benzyl group from the amino group on C⁶; as a result, the corresponding diamine with secondary and tertiary nitrogen atoms was obtained. The structure of the isolated compounds was determined by IR and NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray analysis; their thermal stability was studied by simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry.     

Cavitands bearing four fluorophores

The synthesis of novel cavitands containing four fluorophores [tert-butoxycarbonyl protected 2,2′-bis(furyl)benzidine (t-BOC FurylBz) or 5,5′-bis(4-aminophenyl)-2,2′-bifuryl (t-BOC PFDA)] and ionophoric functional groups on the upper rim is reported. The cavitands bearing the four fluorophores emit blue light photoluminescence. In particular, the cavitand containing PFDA moieties exhibits a high photoluminescence quantum yield.     

Extraction of tungsten with 8-hydroxyquinoline and some of its derivatives

The extraction of tungsten by chloroform solutions of 8-hydroxyquinoline(I), 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline(II), 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline(III) and 8-mercaptoquinoline(IV), as a function of the concentration of tungsten and reagent and the acidity of the aqueous phase, has been studied. Evidence was obtained for the quantitative extraction of tungsten over a wide range of acidity. The degree of extraction of tungsten at 10(-5)M concentration with I,III and IV gives two maxima when plotted against acidity. The extraction maximum for the more acidic solutions lies in the region where the reagents exist in the protonated form and its position depends on the reagent used. It is suggested that different tungsten complexes are extracted, depending on the acidity of the aqueous phase.     

Effect of chromophore-charge distance on the energy transfer properties of water-soluble conjugated oligomers

The synthesis of 1,4-bis(9,9'-bis(3"-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-propyl)-2'-fluorenyl)benzene tetrabromide (C3), 1,4-bis(9,9'-bis(4"-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-butyl)-2'-fluorenyl)benzene tetrabromide (C4), 1,4-bis(9,9'-bis(6"-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-hexyl)-2'-fluorenyl)benzene tetrabromide (C6), and 1,4-bis(9,9'-bis(8"-(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-octyl)-2'-fluorenyl)benzene tetrabromide (C8) is reported. Fluorescence energy transfer experiments between C3-C8 and the acceptors pentasodium 1,4-bis(4'(2",4"-bis(butoxysulfonate)-styryl)styryl)-2-(butoxysulfonate)-5-methoxybenzene (3), fluorescein labeled single-stranded DNA and fluorescein labeled double-stranded DNA in water, buffer, and methanol reveal the importance of hydrophobic and electrostatic forces in determining chromophore-chromophore close proximity. In water, the oligomers with longer side chain length show better energy transfer, as well as higher Stern-Volmer quenching constants (K(sv)), largely due to a stronger hydrophobic attraction between the optically active components. In methanol, the differences in energy transfer are leveled, and the oligomers with shorter side chain lengths show higher K(sv) values. Compounds C3, C4, C6, and C8 were also used to dissect the different contributors to DNA hybridization assays based on cationic conjugated polymers.     

Antiallergic agents from natural sources 9. Inhibition of nitric oxide production by novel chalcone derivatives from Mallotus philippinensis (Euphorbiaceae)

Three novel chalcone derivatives, mallotophilippens C (1), D (2) and E (3) were isolated from the fruits of Mallotus philippinensis MUELL. ARG. These compounds were identified, using chemical and spectral data, as 1-[6-(3,7-dimethyl-octa-2,6-dienyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromen-8-yl]-3-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-propenone, 3-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-1-[6-(3,7-dimethyl-octa-2,6-dienyl)-5,7-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromen-8-yl]-propenone and 1-[5,7-dihydroxy-2-methyl-6-(3-methyl-but-2-enyl)-2-(4-methyl-pent-3-enyl)-2H-chromen-8-yl]-3-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)-propenone, respectively. They inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) gene expression by a murine macrophage-like cell line (RAW 264.7), which was activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and recombinant mouse interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Furthermore, they downregulated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene, interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) gene expression. These results suggest that they have anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects.

Reaction of 2-amino-4-imino-2-perfluoropentene with ethylenediamine and diethylenetriamine

The transamination of 2-amino-4-imino-2-perfluoropentene with ethylenediamine gives the corresponding 6-fluoro-5,7-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-diazepine. The transamination of 2-amino-4-imino-2-perfluoropentene by diethylenetriamine is accompanied by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of the α-fluorine atom to form 1,9-bis(trifluoromethyl)-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrazino[1,2-a]pyrazine whose structure was established by an X-ray structural investigation. Several salts of this bicyclic compound and its complex with BF₃ have been described. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 1773–1776, October, 1993.     

Diphosphatetraazacyclooctatetraenes. II. Properties and degradations

1,5-Bis(diphenylphospha)-3,7-bis(perfluoroalkylether)-2,4,6,8- tetraazacyclooctatetraene and 1,3-bis(diphenylphospha)-5,7-bis(perfluoroalkylether) -2,4,6,8-tetraazacyclooctatetraene were found to decompose at 316°C to phospha-s-triazines. The symmetrical arrangement liberated perfluoroalkylether nitrile with concommitant formation of the corresponding diphospha-s-triazine; the unsymmetrical isomer eliminated the (C₆H₅)₂PN unit to give the monophospha-s-triazine. The thermal and oxidative stabilities of the two compounds differed widely, with the unsymmetrical isomer being significantly more stable than the symmetrical arrangement. Spectral data pertinent to these results are discussed. Both materials were found to be effective in arresting perfluoroalkylether fluid degradation in oxidizing atmospheres in the presence of metal alloys.
