A new catalytic system for enantioselective [2+2]-cycloaddition reaction of 2-methoxycarbonyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one with thioacetylene derivatives is described. The use of a catalytic amount (20-30 mol%) of copper(II) salt with chiral bis-pyridine ligand was found to be effective in promoting the [2+2]-cycloaddition reaction, furnishing the corresponding bicyclic compound in good yield and good enantioselectivity.     

The Different Fluorescent Response of Quin 2 to the Binding of Ca^2＋ and La^3＋ and its Application

The fluorescence spectra of Quin 2, (2-[(2-bis-[carboxymethyl] amino-5-methylphenoxy)methyl]-6-methoxy-8-bis [carboxymethyl] aminoquiniline), a Ca^2 probe, were investigated upon incubation with Ca^2 or La^3 . The results showed that binding of La^3 to Quin 2 resulted in different fluorescent spectrum from that of Ca^2 . Based on this observation, a fluorescent method was developed for simultaneously determination of the dissociation rates of Ca^2 and La^3 from a Ca-La- calmodulin complex (Ca2La2CaM).     

The Choice of Rhodium Catalysts in [2+2+2] Cycloaddition Reaction: A Personal Account

[2+2+2] Cycloaddition reaction is a captivating process that assembles six-membered rings from three unsaturations with complete atom economy. Of the multiple transition metals that can be used to catalyze this reaction, rhodium offers many advantages.

In this personal account, we summarize our endeavours in the development of efficient and sustainable [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions to prepare products of interest, develop conditions in which the catalyst can be recovered and reused, and understand the mechanistic details that govern the selectivity of the processes.     

[Ru(bpy)_2tpphz]~(2+)与Zn~(2+)形成的双核配合物的荧光性质研究

近年来,钌多吡啶配合物与DNA的作用得到了比较广泛的研究,并且发展了一系列具有特定功能的钌配合物犤1犦。如传统的DNA分子光开关犤Ru(bpy)2dppz犦2+和犤Ru(phen)2dppz犦2+犤2,3犦(bpy=2,2'-联吡啶,phen=1,10-菲咯啉,dppz=二吡啶犤3,2-a:2',3'-c犦吩嗪)。这些配合物与DNA具有较强的结合力,在水溶液中几乎不发光,但在DNA存在下则有强烈荧光发出。这是由于配合物插入DNA的碱基对之后,保护了dppz的吡嗪环上的N原子,使其免受水分子的进攻从而导致配合物荧光的恢复。但是对于大多数的多吡啶钌配合物来讲,由于其自身较强的背景荧光或与DN…     

Organocatalytic intermolecular [2+2] cycloaddition of norbornadienes by a stable organic radical compound

An organocatalytic [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of norbornadienes (NBDs) using catalytic amount of TEMPO was reported. Single crystal X-ray diffraction of the product revealed its detailed multicyclic structure containing a 4-membered ring, formed in intermolecular reaction. Addition of AIBN to the current catalytic system improved the product yield. Quantitative reaction of the NBD and TEMPO gave a 2:2 adduct of NBD and TEMPO, which was confirmed by HR-MS. This catalytic [2+2] addition of NBDs has great advantage in selective intermolecular coupling in comparison with [2+2] photocycloaddition.     

Metal Free Access to Polysubstituted Pyrimidines via Nitrile Activation and [2+2+2] Cycloaddition

Tf₂O mediated intermolecular / intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition between alkynes and nitriles has been developed for efficient construction of polysubstituted pyrimidines and bicyclopyrimidines. In presence of Tf₂O, aza-allene species were generated in situ through nitrile activation and subsequently participated in the [2+2+2] cycloaddition, which was fully supported by deuteration experiments. The reaction had good substrate extensibility with moderate to excellent yield including trimethylsilylalkynes. The method was utilized as a synthetic tool in the preparation of a luminescent metal complex.     

Diastereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition of polymer-supported cyclic chiral enone with ethylene

The phenylmenthyl derivative, previously shown to be very effective chiral auxiliaries in the diastereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition of cyclic enones with the simplest olefin, ethylene, was attached to poly(ethylene glycol)-grafted Wang resin. We then investigated the diastereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition on solid support in several solvents. As the result, we accomplished good selectivity in toluene as well as the recycle of the polymer-supported chiral auxiliary. This is the first example that bicyclo[4.2.0]octane derivative has been obtained photochemically on the solid support.     

Reaction of ene-bis(phosphinylallenes): [2+2] versus [4+2] cycloaddition

Reaction of ene-bis(phosphinylallenes), derived from ene-bis(propargyl alcohols) and chlorodiphenylphosphine, was investigated. Benzene-bridged bis(phosphinylallenes) exclusively gave intramolecular [2+2] cycloadducts in the presence of dimethyl fumarate in sharp contrast to the reaction of benzene-bridged bis(sulfinylallenes), which gave the corresponding [4+2] cycloadducts. On the other hand, substituted ethylene- or five-membered heterocycle-bridged bis(phosphinylallenes) provided [4+2] cycloadducts. Reaction of benzene-bridged diallene bearing both a sulfinyl group and a phosphinyl group on the two allenyl groups was also described.

Design,Synthesis and Late-Stage Modification of Indane-Based Peptides via [2+2+2] Cyclotrimerization

Here, we prepared several dipeptides containing 2-aminoindane-2-carboxylic acid (Aic) and carried out further synthetic transformations. Synthesis and purification of modified peptides by using [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization is a challenging task. We are able to modify the unusual amino acids and peptide derivatives by late-stage incorporation of benzylhalo functionality. To incorporate benzylhalo moiety we used [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization in the presence of Mo(CO)₆. These halo derivatives are potential substrates for further modification by Sonogashira reaction, Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling, sultine formation, and the Diels–Alder reaction sequence.     

NHC-catalyzed enantioselective [2 + 2] and [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions of ketenes with isothiocyanates

The enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed formal [2 + 2] and [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of ketenes and isothiocyanates were developed. Reaction with N-aryl isothiocyanates at room temperature favors the [2 + 2] cycloaddition, while reaction with N-benzoyl isothiocyanates at -40 °C favors the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition.     

Photoinduced Fluorescence Switching in Molecular Aggregates by Topological [2+2] Cycloaddition

The optical modulation of fluorescence characteristics in molecular aggregates, which mainly involves diverse molecular stacking and the consequent intermolecular interactions, remains a significant challenge for potential applications in optical anticounterfeiting, data storage, and imaging. Here we successfully realize in situ fluorescence switching in molecular aggregates of thianaphthene-dioxide derivatives by topological [2+2] photocycloaddition, which represents a promising way to regulate the molecular stacking and alter photophysical processes. Notably, 2-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethylphenyl)benzo[b]thiophene-dioxide (BTO-TF) in both crystal and powder forms exhibits a unique switching from an initial nonfluorescent state to a highly fluorescent state (Φ_PL=0.46) upon UV irradiation, because of the destruction of the [2+2] cycloaddition process by volume expansion of the photodimer. Furthermore, we demonstrate such a [2+2] photocycloaddition can occur when 2-(4-carboxypheny)benzo[b]thiophene-dioxide (BTO-OH) is doped within selective polymer matrixes, and can be utilized for the visualization of macrophase separation in polymer blends.
