Synthesis of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane

Double intramolecular cyclization of N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-N-N-bis(2-cyanoethyl)ethylenediamine leads to 1,4-bis(2-cyanoethyl)-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dichloride, which undergoes decyanoethylation to 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane when it is heated. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by their IR and PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 548–550, April, 1978.     

Ring-opening reactions of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) derived quaternary ammonium salts with phenols and related nucleophiles

1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) has been evaluated as a starting material for the synthesis of 1-alkyl-4-(2-phenoxyethyl)piperazines and related derivatives. We found that 1-alkyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-ium salts, resulting from the alkylation of DABCO, efficiently react with a variety of nucleophiles in polyethyleneglycol (PEG) or diglyme at high temperatures to give piperazine products resulting from the nucleophilic ring-opening reaction. The benzylation side reaction was found to be relevant with softer nucleophiles when using 1-benzyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-1-ium salts, while other types of alkylations were not observed. One-pot methodologies allow for the synthesis of piperazines directly from primary alcohols, alkyl halides or sulfonates, using phenols, or other nucleophile sources, and DABCO.     

Supramolecular catalytic systems based on alkylated diquaternary 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives

The micellization and catalytic properties of the diquaternary 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives, viz., 1-alkyl-4-ethyl-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dibromides (DAD) in water were studied by conductometry, viscosimetry, and spectrophotometry. The critical micelle concentrations and the semiaxial ratio of the micellar aggregates were determined. The character and strength of the effect of the DAD micelles on the alkaline hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl alkylchloromethylphosphonates depend on the surfactant and substrate structures, DAD concentration in solution, and temperature. An increase in the hydrophobicity of DAD and phosphonate increases the efficiency of catalysis.

Elementary acts of the photoreaction of diamine with 2,6-diphenyl-p-benzoquinone are determined from the effects of chemical nuclear polarization effects. Hydrogen atom transfer is shown to occur in two stages with the participation of a radical ion pair.     

Design and synthesis of artificial ribonucleases based on 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and imidazole

The review surveys the results of our studies devoted to the design of highly efficient catalysts of hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bonds in RNA. These catalysts contain the imidazole residue in the catalytic domain, one or several bis-quaternized rings of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as a polycationic RNA-binding domain, and a lipophilic radical. A versatile approach to artificial ribonucleases of this type was proposed, which allows one to vary not only the number of positive charges in the RNA-binding domain, the structure of the catalytic site, and their mutual arrangement but also the domain structure of the molecule as a whole. Analysis of the catalytic properties of the synthesized constructs makes it possible to optimize the domain structure and the geometry of the molecule ensuring its maximum ribonuclease activity.     

Conformation perturbation of p-sulfonatocalix[5]arene via complexation of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane

A novel conformation of p-sulfonatocalix[5]arene has been established in the solid state with two calixarenes organised in a 'bis-molecular capsule' shrouding two di-protonated DABCO molecules and two water molecules within.     

DABCO-directed self-assembly of bisporphyrins (DABCO=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)

Three isomeric zinc bisporphyrins have been prepared by covalently linking together two aminoporphyrins with an isophthalic acid derivative. The porphyrins differ in the substitution pattern on the meso phenyl groups, that is, ortho, meta, or para. Titrations carried out by UV-visible and 1H NMR spectroscopy have been used to map out the stabilities and the stoichiometries of the complexes formed with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in chloroform. The ortho- and meta-substituted bisporphyrins form 1:1 intramolecular sandwich complexes. The para-substituted bisporphyrin cannot adopt the cofacial conformation required for this type of complex and forms a higher order 2:2 intermolecular assembly, which is stable over a wide range of DABCO concentrations.     

Synthesis of 5,6-benzo-1,2-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane

5,6-Benzo-1,2-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane was synthesized by nitrosation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocinchoninic acid, reduction of the 1-nitroso derivative to 1-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocinchoninic acid, cyclodehydration of it to 3-oxo-5,6-benzo-1,2-diazabycyclo[2.2.2]octane, and reduction of the oxo group to a methylene group with lithium aluminum hydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1369–1371, October, 1970.

Diazabicycloalkanes with nitrogen atoms in the nodal positions. 5. Synthesis and some reactions of 2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane

2-Hydroxymethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane was synthesized by reduction of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-carboxylic acid or its methyl ester with lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran and by hydrolysis or hydrogenation of 2-benzyloxymethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane. Depending on the conditions, 2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane reacts with methyl iodide to give primarily either a bisquaternary or a monoquaternary derivative. The latter is the only product in its alkylation with methyl esters of benzoic and caproic acids.See [1] for Communication 4.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1404–1407, October, 1980.

Alkylated 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octanes: self-association, catalytic properties, and biological activity

Aggregation of 1-hexadecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide in the presence of diethyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate was studied using ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The quantitative characteristics of the aggregation were determined. The data obtained were used to explain the catalytic effect of micelles on the hydrolysis of the phosphate. It was found that the aggregation properties and biological activity of alkylated mono- and dicationic 1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.2]octanes are correlated.     

Complexing ability of dimeric zinc octaalkylporphyrinates with a poly(ethyleneoxy) bridge toward 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and 1,4-diazine

The formation of “guest-host” complexes from dimeric zinc octaalkylporphyrinates with a poly(ethyleneoxy) bridge and various bidentate ligands containing two N atoms was studied by spectrophotometric titration and ¹H NMR spectroscopy in toluene-methanol (5: 1). The reactions of dimeric porphyrinates with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and 1,4-diazine gave 1: 1 or 1: 2 complexes, depending on the molar ratio of metal porphyrin and the ligand. The stability constants of the complexes obtained and the concentration ranges for their formation were determined.     

A facile synthesis of highly functionalized dihydrofurans based on 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) catalyzed reaction of halides with enones

Treatment of halides 5 with electrophilic alkenes 2 afforded the corresponding dihydrofurans 3 and 4 in the presence of 1, 4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) with good to excellent yields and in a stereoselective manner in most cases. Moreover, the stereoisomers 3 and 4 could be easily transformed each other in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU).     

On the effect of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane on the singlet-oxygen dimol emission: chemical generation of 1O2)2 in peroxide reactions

The acetone-catalyzed decomposition of monoperoxysulfate ions, the molybdate ion-induced decay of hydrogen peroxide, and the reactions of N-chlorosuccinimide or N-bromosuccinimide with hydrogen peroxide and of dimethyldioxirane with tertiary amines as well as the thermal decomposition of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene endoperoxide lead to the chemiluminescence of singlet-oxygen dimol species (1O2)2 emitting at 634 and 703 nm. In contrast to the expected enhancement of (1O2)2 chemiluminescence upon addition of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) [Deneke, C.F.; Krinsky, N. I. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1976, 98, 3041. Di Mascio, P.; Sies, H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1989, 111, 2909.], quenching has been observed. Our data show that enhancement of singlet-oxygen dimol chemiluminescence is not a general phenomenon and, consequently, DABCO is not a reliable chemiluminescent probe for the presence of (1O2)2 in chemical and biochemical systems.     

Synthesis of 1, 2-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane, 1, 2-diazabicyclo [3.2.1]-octane,and their derivatives

1, 2-Diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane, its 6-methyl homolog, and 1, 2-diazabicyclo [3.2.1] octane are synthesized by a general method involving nitrosation of piperidine carboxylic acids, subsequent reduction to 1-aminopiperidine carboxylic acids, cyclization to 3-keto-1, 2-diazabicycloalkanes, reduction of the latter to 1, 2-diazabicycloalkanes. A number of 2-substituted 1, 2-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octanes are synthesized.     

Magnetic carbon nanotubes modified with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2] octane are a viable sorbent for extraction of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

Carbon nanotubes were modified with magnetite nanoparticles, and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) was then covalently attached to their surface. The resulting material is shown to be a viable sorbent for the preconcentration of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors citalopram, sertraline, fluvoxamine and fluoxetine via ultrasound-assisted magnetic solid phase extraction. The effects of pH value, sorbent dosage, eluent volume and salt concentration were optimized by central composite design and desirability function. The drugs were quantified by HPLC with UV detection. Detection limits are as low as 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, and 0.5 ng mL^?1 for citalopram, sertraline, fluvoxamine and fluoxetine, respectively. The intra-day precisions (RSDs) are <4.0%. The method was applied to the determination of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in plasma samples and gave recoveries of >91%. The sorbent can be reused 12 times without a noticeable decrease in extraction efficiency.
