Ab initio investigation of phloroglucinol

All-electron ab initio Hartree–Fock (RHF ) calculations have been carried out to investigate the keto/enol equilibrium of phloroglucinol. The calculations predict that the enol form of phloroglucinol, 1,3,5-benzenetriol, is by far the most stable of the two. This is confirmed by NMR spectra taken on phloroglucinol. A comparison of the keto enol form transformation of phloroglucinol with that of the phenol system shows that the keto form of phloroglucinol, 1,3,5-cyclohexanetrion, is more abundant in the phloroglucinol system, and the keto form of phenol, 2,4-cyclohexadien-1-on, in the phenol system. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Investigation of the influence of hydroxy groups on the radical scavenging ability of polyphenols

Recently, O-H bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) have been successfully used to express the free radical scavenging ability of polyphenolic antioxidants. In this work, the BDEs of phenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, phloroglucinol, 1,2,4-benzenetriol, and 5-hydroxypyrogallol have been calculated at B3LYP/6-311G++(3df, 3pd) and used to elucidate the effect of OH groups. Increasing the number of OH groups in the adjacent (vicinal) position decreases the BDE of phenols. Increasing the number of O-H groups in the alternative position C(1,3) as in resorcinol and C(1,3,5) as in phloroglucinol does not show any notable change in the BDEs when compared to that of OH in C(1) as in phenol. 5-Hydroxypyrogallol has the smallest BDE (250.3 kJ mol(-1)) followed by pyrogallol (289.4 kJ mol(-1)), then 1,2,4-benzenetriol (294.8 kJ mol(-1)), and then catechol (312.8 kJ mol(-1)). Overall, our results indicated that the presence of ortho and para hydroxy groups reduces the BDEs. An intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) develops due to the ortho arrangement of OH's and plays a dominant role in decreasing the BDEs. This key study on phenols showed that the reactive order of OH position in the benzene ring is the following: 5-hydroxypyrogallol > pyrogallol > 1,2,4-benzenetriol > catechol > hydroquinone > phenol approximately resorcinol approximately phloroglucinol.     

Biomimetic Synthesis of an Antiviral Cinnamoylphloroglucinol Collection from Cleistocalyx operculatus: A Synthetic Strategy Based on Biogenetic Building Blocks

A synthetic strategy based on biogenetic building blocks for the collective and divergent biomimetic synthesis of cleistoperlones A−F, a cinnamoylphloroglucinol collection discovered from Cleistocalyx operculatus, has been developed. These syntheses proceeded successfully in only six to seven steps starting from commercially available 1,3,5-benzenetriol and involving oxidative activation of stable biogenetic building blocks as a crucial step. Key features of the syntheses include a unique Michael addition/ketalization/1,6-addition/enol-keto tautomerism cascade reaction for the construction of the dihydropyrano[3,2-d]xanthene tetracyclic core of cleistoperlones A and B, and a rare inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels–Alder cycloaddition for the establishment of benzopyran ring in cleistoperlones D−F. Moreover, cleistoperlone A exhibited significant antiviral activity against acyclovir-resistant strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1/Blue and HSV-1/153).     

Theoretical study of Ln(III) complexes with polyaza-aromatic ligands: geometries of [LnL(H2O)n]3+ complexes and successes and failures of TD-DFT

The accuracy and the usefulness of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations for the theoretical study of Ln (La, Eu, Lu) complexes have been investigated. The geometries calculated at the DFT level for [Ln(H2O)nL]3+ complexes have been successfully compared with crystallographic data. TD-DFT is able to offer valuable insights into VUV spectra of lanthanide complexes. However, the results obtained on the largest ligand (i.e., 2,4,6-tri-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (Tptz)) have to be considered as a failure of TD-DFT.

DFT Study of Hydrogen-Bonded 1,3,5-Triazine-Water Complexes

The 1,3,5-triazine-water hydrogen bonding interactions have been investigated using the density functional theory B3LYP method and 6-31 ＋＋G^＊＊ basis, obtaining one, two and seven energy minima of the ground states for the 1,3,5-triazine-water, 1,3,5-triazine-（water）2 and 1,3,5-triazine-（water）3 complexes respectively. The fully optimized geometries and binding energies were reported for the various stationary points. The global minima of 1,3,5-triazine-（water）2 and 1,3,5-triazine-（water）3 complexes have a hydrogen bond N…H-O and a chain of water molecules, terminated by a hydrogen bond O…H-C. The binding energies are 13.38, 39.52 and 67.79 kJ/mol for the most stable 1,3,5-triazine-water, 1,3,5-triazine-（water）2 and 1,3,5-triazine-（water）3 complexes respectively, after the basis set superposition error and zero point energy corrections. The H-O symmetric stretching modes of water in the complexes are red-shifted relative to those of the monomer water. In addition, the NBO analysis indicates that inter-molecule charge transfer is 0.02145 e, 0.02501 e and 0.02777 e for the most stable 1 ： 1, 1 ： 2 and 1 ： 3 complexes between 1,3,5-triazine and water, respectively.

Benzenetriol-Derived Compounds against Citrus Canker

In order to replace the huge amounts of copper salts used in citrus orchards, alternatives have been sought in the form of organic compounds of natural origin with activity against the causative agent of citrus canker, the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri. We synthesized a series of 4-alkoxy-1,2-benzene diols (alkyl-BDOs) using 1,2,4-benzenetriol (BTO) as a starting material through a three-step synthesis route and evaluated their suitability as antibacterial compounds. Our results show that alkyl ethers derived from 1,2,4-benzenetriol have bactericidal activity against X. citri, disrupting the bacterial cell membrane within 15 min. Alkyl-BDOs were also shown to remain active against the bacteria while in solution, and presented low toxicity to (human) MRC-5 cells. Therefore, we have demonstrated that 1,2,4-benzenetriol—a molecule that can be obtained from agricultural residues—is an adequate precursor for the synthesis of new compounds with activity against X. citri.     

Synthesis of transparent and thermally stable polycyanurates and their thermal rearrangement

Transparent and thermally stable polycyanurates, whose solubility can be changed by thermal rearrangement, have been synthesized as functional films used in the multilayer coating process. Before the synthesis of polycyanurates, the model compound, 2,6‐bis(4‐methoxyphenyl)?6‐methoxy‐1,3,5‐triazine as a cyanurate is prepared and rearranged to an isocyanurate, 1,3‐bis(4‐methoxyphenyl)?5‐methyl‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2,4,6‐trione in an excellent yield by thermal treatment. Based on this result, polycyanurates are prepared by the phase‐transfer‐catalyzed polycondensation of 2,4‐dichloro‐6‐methoxy‐1,3,5‐triazine with bisphenol monomers in the presence of quaternary ammonium salts. The polycyanurate obtained from 9,9‐bis(hydroxyphenyl)fluorene exhibits a high glass transition temperature at 251 °C. The solubility of polycyanurate films containing 1 wt % of tetrabutylammonium bromide can be changed by thermal rearrangement. The partially rearranged films keep high transparency and low birefringence. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2013 , 51, 3950–3955

Synthesis and characterisation of 3-armed dendritic molecules with triphenylbenzene or triphenyltriazine as core and triphenylene derivative as shells

Two series 3-armed dendritic molecules with their 1,3,5-tris(4-methyloxyphenyl) benzene or 2,4,6-tris(4- hydroxylphenyl)-1,3,5-s-triazine core and triphenylene derivative shells connected by soft hydrocarbon chains have been synthesised and fully characterised. Whether liquid crystal (LC) or photoluminescence materials have been tuned by changing the length of the soft chain and they have been studied by POM, DSC, XRD, UV-Vis and PL. The results show that all the new dendritic compounds display UV to blue fluorescence in solvents such as DCM, THF and acetone.

The equilibrium geometry, the HOMO and LUMO molecular orbitals, excitation energies, oscillator strengths and Natural Bond Orbital(NBO) analysis for the molecules have also been calculated and presented. FT-IR spectra of the title molecules are recorded and discussed. The electron location function(ELF), localized orbital locator(LOL) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules(QTAIM) analyses were also carried out. On the basis of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) and synthesized molecules, polarizer for UV/Vis region of the spectrum has been developed.
