Photochromic properties of 1,3,3-trimethylspiro[indoline-2,3′-[3H]naphtho[2,1-b][1,4]oxazine] doped in PMMA and epoxy resin thin films

Irradiation of colorless 1,3,3-trimethylspiro[indoline-2,3′-[3H]naphtho[2,1-b][1,4]oxazine] SO doped in PMMA and epoxy resin with UV light (at 366 nm) results in the formation of an intensely colored zwitterionic photomerocyanine PMC. The reverse reaction was photochemically induced by irradiation with white light. Photocoloration and photobleaching reactions follow a first-order rate equation. It was found that photocoloration rate constant of SO in PMMA film is greater than that in epoxy resin. On the other hand, the photobleaching rate constant is almost identical in both matrices. Spirooxazine doped in epoxy resin shows much better fatigue resistance than that doped in PMMA.     

Synthesis and NMR study of 9′-substituted spiroindolinonaphthoxazine derivatives

A photochromic spiroindolinonaphthoxazine derivative, 1,3,3-trimethyl-9′-hydroxy-spiro[indoline-2,3′(3H)- naphtho[2,1-b][1,4]oxazine] 3 was synthesized by condensation of 1,2,3,3-tetramethylindolenium iodide 1 and l-nitroso-2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene 2 . Further, two new derivatives, 5 and 7 , were prepared in good yields by the reactions of 3 with the hexafluoropropene trimer 4 and 4-[perfluoro(2-isopropyl-1,3-dimethyl-1-butenyl)-oxybenzoyl chloride 6 , respectively. Their unique structural features and property are discussed based on ¹H-, ¹³C- and ¹⁹F nmr spectral data.     

Acidichromism of indolinospirooxazines in isopropanol

1,3,3-tnmethyl-spiro[mdolino-2,3'-[2H]naphtho[2,1-b] [1,4]oxazine(SP1) and 1,3,3-trimen-thyl-9-methoxy-spiro[indolino2,3'-[2H]naphtho[2,1-b] [ 1,4]oxazine] (SP2) react with hydrochloric acid to form the complex SP HCl in isopropanol solution at room temperature The absorption maxima of these complexes are 440 and 463 nm respectively In acidic media,the opening form of spirooxazine can react with hydrochloric acid to form the complex PMC HCl via zwittenon form The absorption spectra of PMC HCl are obviously hypsochromic shifted compared with the reported spectra of the complex in neutral media In the mean time,the thermal stability of the complex is increased.The first order kinetics for the decoloration process of the acidichromic product of the opening form was determined and the lifetimes of these products are 180 and 200 s,respectively.     

Unexpected reaction of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone with aldehydes: new synthesis of naphtho[2,1-d]oxazole compounds

Treatment of 3-substituted 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones 3 with an aldehyde in a solution of hydrobromic acid in acetic acid led to 2,4-disubstituted naphtho[2,1-d]oxazol-5-ols. The outcome of this simple conversion is even more remarkable in view of the very similar reactions reported in literature, which all give rise to completely different products. Furthermore, the acquired naphthoxazoles 5-11 could be oxidatively ring opened by means of PIFA or CAN into a series of N-acylated 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones. A synthetic pathway towards 2-substituted naphtho[2,3-d]oxazole-4,9-diones was also disclosed as the outcome of CAN mediated oxidation of a 4-chloronaphtho[2,1-d]oxazol-5-ol.

The reaction of 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with 2-aminothiazole in MeONa/MeOH at 60oC for 3 h gave naphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole-5,10-dione in 64% yield. The reaction of 2,3-dibromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with 2-aminobenzothiazole under the above-mentioned conditions gave 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)-3-bromonaphthalene-1,4-dione in 64% yield, which on treatment with Na/THF or NaN₃/acetone under reflux conditions gave naphtho[2',3':4,5]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]- benzothiazole-7,12-dione in 69 and 56% yields, respectively.     

Triazolo[4′,3′:4,5] [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one

3-Methyl-6H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4′,3′: 4,5] [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-6-one (6) has been synthesized by the condensation of isatoic anhydride (1) with 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-methyl-[1,2,4]triazole (2) and final cyclisation of the intermediate3 with POCl₃ and PCl₃. Alternatively6 could also be synthesized by the condensation of 3-amino-2-mercapto-3H-quinazolin-4-one (7) withN-carbethoxy hydrazine in presence of hydrochloric acid and final cyclisation of the intermediate8 with acetic acid. The structures have been confirmed on the basis of IR, PMR and analytical results.

Hydrolysis of the 4-alkyliminothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridinedioles (5) and 4-alkylaminothiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridones (6) resp. with 10% NaOH gives 5,7-dihydroxy-2H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]pyridine-4(3H)-one (7).7 can be obtained in better yield by reaction of 4-dimethylamino-2(1H)-pyridinethione (8) with bistrichlorphenylethylamlonate (2). Aminolysis of7 affords the two isomeric products5 and6. On treatment with hydrazines,7 reacts only to 4-hydrazonoderivatives5. By heating in bromobenzene5d is cyclisized to 1H-5,1,2,6-thiatriaza-acenaphthylen-7-ol (11). On methylation with methyljodide5,6 and7 furnish the 7-methoxyproducts13,14 and12. By heating in 20% NaOH7 is transformed into the 2-thioxo-3-pyridylmethylketone16 A and its tautomer, 2-mercapto-3-pyridylmethylketone16 B. The structures of5,6 and7 are discussed.

Guanidine reacts with cyclohexanone, cycloheptanone, acetone and 3-pentanone, resp., in a molar ratio 2∶1 to give the 1,3,5-triazaspiro[5.5]undeca-and [5.6]dodeca-1,3-dien-2,4-diamines3 a and3 b resp. and the 6,6-dimethylresp. diethyl-1,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-2,4-diamines3 d and3 e resp. On the contrary, action of guanidine on cyclopentanone yields not3 c, but the 1′,5′,7′-tetrahydrospiro[cyclopentane-1,4′-cyclopentapyrimidine]-2′(3′H)-imines2 c, 5 c and6 c resp., which are 1∶2- and 1∶3-condensates. Phenylacetone is transformed by guanidine (1∶2) to give 6-phenyl-2,4-pyrimidindiamine (8 f). The structure of the compounds cited is proved by NMR-, IR-, and (partially) mass spectra. The different courses of the formation of3 a, b, d, e, 2 c, 5 c and6 c resp. and8 f are also discussed. The structural formulae of some additional bases, which were synthesized from guanidine and cyclopentanone, 3-pentanone and phenylacetone resp. could not be established.     

From N,N-diphenyl-N-naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl-amine to propeller-shaped N,N,N-tri(naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl)-amine: syntheses and structures

Three unique propeller-shaped helicenyl amines compounds: N,N-diphenyl-N-naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl-amine (1), N-phenyl-N,N-di(naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl)amine (2), and N,N,N-tri(naphtho[2,1-b]thieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-d]dithiophene-5-yl)amine (3) were efficiently synthesized by Wittig reaction and oxidative photocyclization. The crystal structures of 1, 2 and molecular configuration optimization (DFT-B3LYP/6-31+G(d)) of 3 reveal that the steric hindrance from the moiety of trithia[5]helicene effectively forces the nitrogen atom and the three bonded carbon atoms to coplanar and the interplanar angles of the facing terminal thiophene ring and benzene ring becoming larger when the helical arm increased from 1 to 3. Electrochemical properties and UV–vis absorption behaviors of 1, 2, 3 were primarily determined by the moiety of trithia[5]helicene.

Formation of carbon-carbon bonds between activated alkynes and diimine ligands in the aluminum complexes

The gallium and aluminum complexes containing the redox-active ligand (dpp-bian)Ga-Ga(dpp-bian) (1), (dpp-bian)Al-Al(dpp-bian) (2), or (dpp-bian)AlI(Et₂O) (3) (dpp-bian is 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) react with alkyl butynoates Me-C≡C-CO₂R (R = Me, Et) to form C-C bonds between the dpp-bian ligand and alkyne. The reaction of complex 1 with methyl 2-butynoate and 4-chloroaniline in a molar ratio of 1: 2: 2 affords 7-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-10-methylacenaphtho[1,2-b]pyridin-8(7H)-one (4) containing no gallium. In the reaction of complex 2 with methyl 2-butynoate, alkyne is inserted into the skeleton of the dpp-bian ligand to form 4-(dpp-AIE)-9-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-8-(1,3-dpp-2MBIDP)-3,7-dimethoxy-1,5-dialuma-9-aza-2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonadiene-3,7 (5) (dpp-AIE is 1-[2-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)acenaphthen-1(2H)-ylidene]ethyl; 1,3-dpp-2MBIDP is 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-phenalen-2-yl). The reactions of complex 3 with methyl and ethyl 2-butynoates afford dimeric derivatives [-OC(OR)=C(2,3-dpp-1MBIDP)Al(I)-]₂ (2,3-dpp-1MBIDP is 2,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)-1-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-phenalen-2-yl; R = Me (6), Et (7)). The reaction of complex 3 with methyl 2-butynoate gives the product isomeric to compound 6: [-OC(OCH₃)=C(1,3-dpp-2MBIDP)Al(I)-]₂ (8), which cleaves THF resulting in complex [-OC(OCH₃)=C(1,3-dpp-2MBIDP)Al(OC₄H₈I)-]₂ (9). Complex (dpp-bian)Al(acac) (10), obtained by the reduction of dpp-bian with aluminum in the presence of Al(acac)₃ in diethyl ether at ambient temperature, is inert towards acetylene, phenylacetylene, and alkyl butynoates. Compounds 4–7 and 10 were characterized using IR spectroscopy, and compounds 4, 7, and 10 were additionally characterized by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The structures of compounds 4–7, 9, and 10 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Head-to-head polymers — XXXII: Toward head-to-head poly(α-methylstyrene): Synthesis of 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutanediol-1,4-ditosylate and 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dimethylbutadiene-1,3

2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutanediol-1,4-ditosylate (7) was synthesized starting from 2-phenylpropionic acid (1). The acid chloride was brominated and transformed into methyl 2-phenyl-2-bromo-propionate (4) which was coupled with a zinc/copper couple to dimethyl 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylsuccinate (5). Reduction with lithium aluminum hydride to 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutanediol-1,4 (6) was followed by tosylation. The tosylate 7 a mixture of the meso and racemic compounds, could be separated into the pure isomers,a m. p. 170 °C andb m. p. 121 °C. The mixture of each individual pure compound, when treated with tetraalkyl-ammonium bromide, did not give the expected 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenyl-1,4-dibromobutane (9) but rather 1,4-diphenyl-2,3-dimethylbutadiene-1,3 (8). The identity of the compound was established by independent unequivocal synthesis, the comparison of spectral characteristics, and mixed melting point.

New emissive fac-tricarbonylchlorobis(ligand)rhenium(I) complexes prepared from pyridine/thiophene hybrid ligands

Stille coupling between tributyl-(2,3-dihydro-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-stannane and 4-bromopyridine resulted in the preparation of the new pyridine/thiophene hybrid ligand 4-(2,3-dihydro-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-pyridine [4-py-EDOT] (1). Reaction of 1, 4-thiophen-2-yl-pyridine (2), or 4-[2,2^′]bithiophenyl-5-yl-pyridine (3) with ClRe(CO)₅ resulted in the isolation of complexes 4-6, ClRe(L)₂(CO)₃, where L=1, 2, or 3 respectively. The solid-state structure of 4 was determined by X-ray crystallography, which clearly shows the fac arrangement of the three CO ligands and the two 4-py-EDOT ligands arranged cis to one another. The metal complexes 4-6 have been characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, ESI or FAB MS, FTIR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, and elemental analysis.     

Studies on fluorescent species of spiro-indolinonaphthooxazines and their fluorescence spectra

Photophysical behavior of spiro[1,3,3-trimethylindolino-2,3′-naphtho[2,1-b]-1,4-oxazine] (SP1) and spiro[1,3,3,2′-tetramethylindolino-2,3′-naphtho[2,1-b]-1,4-oxazine] (SP2) were studied. The fluorescent species and their spectra of SP1 and SP2 in polar solvents (acetonitrile and methanol) and non-polar solvent (cyclohexane) were investigated. The fluorescence decay in polar solvents was studied by picosecond time-correlated single photon counting. In most cases, fluorescence decay obeyed triexponential decay kinetics. The major fluorescent species is an excited intermediate which has similar conformation as its precursor (¹ SP ^*) formed after the bond cleavage between spirocarbon and oxygen in oxazine ring. The effects of molecular structure and solvent polarity on fluorescence spectra and fluorescence decay lifetime were studied.     

Reaction of (1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-ylidene)propanedinitrile with N-arylisoindolines

In a multistep reaction, 3,3′-(2-aryl-2H-isoindol-1,3-ylene)-di-(1,4-naphthoquinone-2-carbonitriles) 13a-f have been formed in 25-61% yield from a series of N-arylisoindolines 8a-f with (1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-ylidene)propanedinitrile (1) in aerated pyridine. The structure of one of these products (13f) has been unambiguously confirmed by a single crystal X-ray structure analysis. Under otherwise the same conditions, 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-isoindoline (8g) and 1 gave 38% of [4-(2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yl)-2-methoxyphenyl]-1,3-dioxoindan-2-ylidene)acetonitrile (15). Rationales for these conversions involving the known rearrangement of the radical anion of 1 into the radical anion of 1,4-naphthoquinone-2,3-dicarbonitrile (3) are presented.
