Structure and property studies of hybrid xerogels containing bridged positively charged 1,4-diazoniabicycle[2.2.2]octane dichloride

The compound di-3-n-propyltrimethoxysilane (1,4-diazoniabicycle[2.2.2]octane) dichloride, [(MeO)3Si(CH2)3N+ (CH2CH2)3N+ (CH2)3Si(OME)3]Cl2 was obtained and was used as a precursor reagent to obtain hybrid xerogels where the organic molecule was bonded to a silica framework by reacting the ends of both sides of the precursor reagent. That is, both -Si(OME)3 groups react with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) by hydrolysis-condensation reactions. The resulting hybrid xerogels with variable C/Si mole ratios were prepared and analyzed and their textural characteristics determined. The samples prepared presented micropores with diameter 1.5 nm, the chain length of which matched with the estimated length of the organic bridging group. The charged organic bridging groups allow the immobilization of hexacyanoferrate ions by an ion exchange process. The electron transfer process of the hexacyanoferrate anionic complex confined in the pores of the matrices was studied by cyclovoltammetry.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Tetracationic compounds based on 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane: antibacterial activity and reactions with N-containing nucleophiles

Antibacterial activity of tetracationic compounds based on 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) bis-quaternary salts with dodecyl substituents bound by linker groups containing four carbon atoms was studied. All the compounds exhibited activity against the test-strains under study. The gram-positive culture S. aureus was found to be the most sensitive to the influence of compounds in question. The highest activity against S. aureus was exhibited by the compounds containing a but-2-yne or a butane linker; their efficiency exceeded that of the reference compound, antibiotic Ciprofloxacin. For the gram-negative culture P. aeruginosa, the highest activity was exhibited by the compound containing a but-2-yne linker. The compounds with a but-2-yne or a butane linker are stable in the presence of nitrogen-containing nucleophiles, which makes them promising for further studies.

Synthesis and characterization of poly(benzazoles) containing the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane moiety

Poly(benzobisoxazoles) (PBOs), poly(benzobisthiazoles) (PBTs) and copolymers thereof containing the 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane moiety have been prepared and studied. The homopolymers were synthesized by the polycondensation of 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid with 4,6-diamino-1,3-benzenediol dihydrochloride or 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol dihydrochloride in poly(phosphoric acid). Random and block copolymers (PBO–PBT) were also prepared. The polymers were characterized by solubility, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy (infrared and solid-state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance), and thermal analysis such as differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed thermal stability of the polymers above 375°C in air and under argon atmosphere. The polymers exhibited high resistance to organic and inorganic solvents. The polymers were converted to the more stable aromatic polymers via dehydration and retro Diels–Alder reactions of the 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octyl moiety by pyrolysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

High-Tc Enantiomeric Ferroelectrics Based on Homochiral Dabco-derivatives (Dabco=1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)

1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (dabco) and its derivatives have been extensively utilized as building units of excellent molecular ferroelectrics for decades. However, the homochiral dabco-based ferroelectric remains a blank. Herein, by adding a methyl (Me) group accompanied by the introduction of homochirality to the [H₂dabco]²⁺ in the non-ferroelectric [H₂dabco][TFSA]₂ (TFSA=bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)ammonium), we successfully designed enantiomeric ferroelectrics [R and S-2-Me-H₂dabco][TFSA]₂. The two enantiomers show two sequential phase transitions with transition temperature (T_c) as high as 405.8 K and 415.8 K, which is outstanding in both dabco-based ferroelectrics and homochiral ferroelectrics. To our knowledge, [R and S-2-Me-H₂dabco][TFSA]₂ are the first examples of dabco-based homochiral ferroelectrics. This finding opens an avenue to construct dabco-based homochiral ferroelectrics and will inspire the exploration of more eminent enantiomeric molecular ferroelectrics.

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).

Conclusions The catalytic efficiency of 1,4-dialkyl-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane difluorides in the reaction of pentafluorophenol with pentafluoropyridine is somewhat enhanced with increasing length of the alkyl substituents and is higher than for LiF and NaF but markedly less than for KF and CsF.Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2365–2367, October, 1987.
