Drastic change in the rate of photochemical rearrangement of 1,6-(N-phenyl)aza-[60]fulleroids by switching the excited states through simple methyl substitution on the phenyl group

The reaction rate for the photochemical rearrangement of 1,6-N-(substituted-phenyl)aza-[60]fulleroid 1 to 1,2-N-(substituted-phenyl)aziridino-[60]fullerene 2 differed ca. 3000-fold depending on the position and number of methyl substituents on the N-phenyl group. The required time for the completion of the reaction decreased in the order 2,6-dimethylphenyl (1d) < 2-methylphenyl (1b) < phenyl (1a) < 4-methylphenyl (1c). The difference was mainly due to switching of the excited states between normal (fast reactions) and charge-separated (slow reactions) triplet states, which was induced by steric interactions between the N-phenyl group and the C₆₀ moiety.     

Synthesis of Tetrahydrothiopyrano[2,3‐b]indole [60]Fullerene Derivatives via Hetero‐Diels–Alder Reaction of C60 and α,β‐Unsaturated Indole‐2‐thiones

Hetero‐Diels–Alder reactions of [60]fullerene with α,β‐unsaturated thio‐oxindoles ( 3a , 3b , 3c ), prepared from thio‐oxindole 1 and heteroaromatic aldehydes ( 2a , 2b , 2c ), to generate tetrahydrothiopyrano[2,3‐b ]indole [60]fullerene cycloadducts ( 5a , 5b , 5c ) under thermal or microwave irradiation were described. The yields were improved, and the reaction time was decreased by conducting the reaction under microwave irradiation.     

Solid-state photocycloaddition of 6,6′-dimethyl-4,4′-[bis(methylenoxy)phenylene]-di-2-pyrones with benzophenone

Photocycloaddition reactions of 6,6′-dimethyl-4,4′-[bis(methylenoxy)phenylene]-di-2-pyrones (4a-c) with benzophenone (2a) by mixing in the solid state (solid solution) afforded the corresponding oxetane derivatives (5a-c; 1:2 adducts) with high site- and regioselectivity across the C5-C6 and C5′-C6′ double bonds in 4 via the triplet excited state of benzophenone. The oxetane formation proceeded more effectively in the solid state than in solution. The reaction mechanism was inferred by MO methods to be initiated by electrostatic interaction between the C6 position of 4a-c and the carbonyl oxygen of 2a in their ground states. The solid-state interaction may be enhanced by the electron density at the carbonyl oxygen of the triplet 2a. The transition state (TS) analysis of the [2+2] cycloaddition reactions also suggested some triplet complexes and high regioselectivity. The hydrogen-bonding interaction between 2a and 4a-c and the triplet reaction mechanism were also explained by the IR analyses and the quenching experiments, respectively.     

Highly functionalized Bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone-fused [60]fullerenes from masked o-benzoquinones and C(60)

[reaction: see text] The Diels-Alder reactions of masked o-benzoquinones (MOBs) with [60]fullerene, affording novel and highly functionalized bicyclo[2.2. 2]octenone-fused [60]fullerene derivatives, are described.     

Cu(II) acetate- and Mn(III) acetate-mediated radical reactions of [60]fullerene with ketonic compounds

The copper(II) acetate monohydrate- or manganese(III) acetate dihydrate-mediated reaction of [60]fullerene with beta-keto esters 1a-1c or with beta-diketones 1d,1e in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine afforded only dihydrofuran-fused C60 derivatives 2a-2e. However, aromatic methyl ketones 3a-3c gave two kinds of products: methanofullerenes 4a-4c and dihydrofuran-fused C60 derivatives 5a,5b. Possible reaction mechanisms are proposed.     

Transient Spectroscopic Properties of [60] Fullerene—Containing Cyclic Sulphoxide

The properties of the triplet excited state of [60] fullerene-containing cyclic sulphoxide have been investigated by time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. Transient absorption bands of [60] fullerene-containing cyclic sulphoxide showed two decay-components, which wrer attributed to triplet excited states of different spin multiplicity. The properties of photoexcited states of [60] fullerene-containing cyclic sulphoxide are also reported.     

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones

A series of N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones containing a carbonyl related functional groups (oxo- or oxyimino-) on the ethyl spacer was synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity. The synthesis of N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones was achieved through the versatile and efficient synthetic route that involved reaction of piperazinyl quinolones with appropriate α-bromoketone or α-bromooxime derivatives. The structures of new compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectra. Antibacterial data indicated that some of the new N-[2-(2-naphthyl)ethyl]piperazinyl quinolones showed good antibacterial activity and modification of the position 8 and N-1 substituent on quinolone ring, and ethyl spacer functionality produced significant changes in activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.     

Time-resolved EPR study of the photophysics and photochemistry of 1-(3-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl)-1-phenyl[6.6]C61

Time-resolved (TR) EPR was used to study the photophysics and photochemistry of 1-(3-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl)-1-phenyl[6.6]C61 (M1). The CW TREPR spectra of M1 in the photoexcited triplet state, frozen in a rigid matrix and in liquid solution at room temperature, were compared with those of 3C60. The introduction of the substituent on C60 has a striking effect on the spectra of the triplets, which is attributed to the lifting of the orbital degeneracy by the reduction in symmetry. Fourier transform (FT) EPR was used in an investigation of electron-transfer reactions in liquid solutions mediated by 3M1. Of particular interest was the system of M1/chloranil (CA)/perylene (Pe). Photoexcitation of M1 is found to lead to the formation of the chloranil anion radical and the perylene cation radical. From the chemically induced dynamic electron polarization (CIDEP) patterns in the FTEPR spectra and the dependence of the reaction kinetics on reactant concentrations, it was deduced that CA- is formed by two competing pathways following photoexcitation of M1: (1) direct electron transfer from 3M1 to CA followed by electron transfer from Pe to M1+ and (2) energy transfer from 3M1 to Pe followed by oxidative quenching of 3Pe by CA. In both pathways, M1 acts as a light-energy harvester and mediator of electron-transfer reactions from Pe to CA without itself being consumed in the process, that is, as a photocatalyst. It is found that the functionalization of C60 makes its triplet state a worse electron donor and acceptor, but it has no significant effect on the triplet energy transfer reaction.     

Combined Transient Spectra and Semiempirical Calculation of [60]Fullerenes Attached with Piperidinodithiocarboxylate and 7-Chloro-phenazine

[60]Fullerenes attached with piperidinodithiocarboxylate dyad （1） and 7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenazine （2） were efficiently synthesized through Diels-Atder cycloaddition with dienes. The physical properties of the triplet states of these compounds, in which strong electron acceptor moieties were covalently attached to C60 cores, were investigated by nanosecond laser flash photolysis. The excited triplet states in benzonitrite have been evaluated by observing the transient absorption bands in the near-IR region. The HOMO and LUMO were calculated by semiempirical methods AM1, which could predict the intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer in 1 and 2, and the nanosecond transient absorption spectra observed experimentally in solution were in excellent agreement with the calculated ones.     

Why Do Cycloaddition Reactions Involving C60 Prefer [6,6] over [5,6] Bonds?

The origin of the experimentally known preference for [6,6] over [5,6] bonds in cycloaddition reactions involving C₆₀ has been computationally explored. To this end, the Diels–Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and C₆₀ has been analysed by means of the recently introduced activation strain model of reactivity in combination with the energy decomposition analysis method. Other issues, such as the aromaticity of the corresponding transition states, have also been considered. These results indicate that the major factor controlling the observed regioselectivity is the more stabilising interaction between the deformed reactants in the [6,6] reaction pathway along the entire reaction coordinate.     

Soluble yttrium chalcogenides: syntheses,structures, and NMR properties of Y[eta 3-N(SPPh2)2]3 and Y[eta 2-N(SePPh2)2]2[eta 3-N(SePPh2)2

The compounds Y[N(QPPh2)2]3 (Q = S (1), Se (2)) have been synthesized in good yield from the protonolysis reactions between Y[N(SiMe3)2]3 and HN(QPPh2)2 in methylene chloride (CH2Cl2). The compounds are not isostructural. In 1, the Y atom is surrounded by three similar [N(SPPh2)2]- ligands bound eta 3 through two S atoms and an N atom. The molecule possesses D3 symmetry, as determined in the solid state by X-ray crystallography and in solution by 89Y and 31P NMR spectroscopies. In 2, the Y atom is surrounded again by three [N(SePPh2)2]- ligands, but two are bound eta 2 through the two Se atoms and the other ligand is bound eta 3 through the two Se atoms and an N atom. Although a fluxional process is detected in the 31P and 77Se NMR spectra, a triplet is found in the 89Y NMR spectrum of 2 (delta = 436 ppm relative to YCl3 in D2O, 2JY-P = 5 Hz). This implies that on average the conformation of one eta 3- and two eta 2-bound ligands is retained in solution. Crystallographic data for 1: C72H60N3P6S6Y, rhombohedral, R3c, a = 14.927(5) A, c = 56.047(13) A, V = 10815(6) A3, T = 153 K, Z = 6, and R1(F) = 0.042 for the 1451 reflections with I > 2 sigma(I). Crystallographic data for 2: C72H60N3P6Se6Y.Ch2-Cl2, monoclinic, P2(1)n, a = 13.3511(17) A, b = 38.539(7) A, c = 14.108(2) A, beta = 94.085(13) degrees, V = 7241(2) A 3, T = 153 K, Z = 4, and R1(F) = 0.037 for the 8868 reflections with I > 2 sigma(I).     

Furopyridines. XX. Wittig-horner reaction of a phosphonate of reissert analogues of furo[3,2-c]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-b]pyridines

Furo[3,2-c]-( 1a ), -[2,3-c]- ( 1b ) and -[3,2-b]pyridine ( 1c ) were reacted with isopropyl chloroformate and trimethyl phosphite to give dimethyl 5-isopropoxycarbonyl-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridine-4-phosphonate ( 2a ), dimethyl 6-isopropoxycarbonyl-6,7-dihydrofuro[2,3-c]pyridine-7-phosphonate ( 2b ) and dimethyl 4-isopropoxycarbonyl-4,7-dihydrofuro[3,2-b]pyridine-7-phosphonate ( 2c ) as unstable syrups. Reaction of 2b and 2c with n-butyllithium and then with benzaldehyde, p-methoxybenzaldehyde, p-cyanobenzalde-hyde or propionaldehyde afforded the normal Wittig reaction products 5b-H, 5b-OMe, 5b-CN, 5b-Et, 5c-H, 5c-H, 5c-OMe and 5c-CN , except for 2b with propionaldehyde. While, the same reactions of compound 2a and the reaction of 2b with propionaldehyde afforded the unexpected products, 5-isopropoxycar-bonylfuro[3,2-c]pyridinio-4-aryl-(or ethyl)methoxides 3a-H, 3a-OMe, 3a-CN and 3a-Et , 4-(1′-aryl(or ethyl)-1′-hydroxymethyl)furo[3,2-c]pyridines 4a-H, 4a-OMe, 4a-CN and 4a-Et accompanying formation of the normal products. Treatment of the normal Wittig reaction products with lithium diisopropylamide and then with acetone gave the derivatives alkylated at the 2-or the benzylic positions.     

Comparative photophysics of [26]- and [28]hexaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1.1): large two-photon absorption cross section of aromatic [26]hexaphyrins(1.1.1.1.1.1)

We have explored the electronic natures of representative expanded porphyrins, [26]- and [28]hexaphyrins, to investigate the interplay between the aromaticity and antiaromaticity that is brought by two electron oxidation/reduction processes. The excited singlet and triplet states of [26]hexaphyrin in solution exhibit lifetimes of 125 ps and 1.8 mus, respectively, as revealed by various time-resolved spectroscopic measurements. On the other hand, [28]hexaphyrin shows faster singlet and triplet lifetimes than those of [26]hexaphyrin, which is largely in accordance with the perturbation of aromaticity due to the pi electron formulation of [4n] in [28]hexaphyrins. The two-photon absorption cross-section values at 1200 nm for [26]hexaphyrins show ca. 9890 GM which is >10(2) larger than those of porphyrins. The reduced TPA values of 2600 and 810 GM of [28]hexaphyrin and perfluorinated [28]hexaphyrin, respectively, match well with their relatively short excited-state lifetimes. Overall, the enhanced excited-state lifetimes for various hexaphyrins go in line with the increased TPA cross-section values and the ring planarity.

C(60)-based triads with improved electron-acceptor properties: pyrazolylpyrazolino[60]fullerenes.

A series of triad pyrazolylpyrazolino[60]fullerenes has been prepared in one pot from suitably functionalized hydrazones by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions under microwave irradiation. The electrochemical properties of the compounds obtained were investigated by cyclic voltammmetry, and they show better electron acceptor character than the parent C(60) in all cases. Fluorescence experiments and time-resolved transition spectroscopy indicate the existence of photoinduced charge-transfer processes with the C(60) triplet acting as the acceptor.

The same reaction of 1a at ?40° gave 3-(1,2-propadienyl)pyridin-2-ol 3 and 3-(2-propynyl)pyridin-2-ol 4 .

While reaction of the intermediates from 1a, 1b and 1d with N,N-dimethylacetamide yielded the 2-acetonyl compounds 13a, 13b and 13d in good yield, the same reaction of 1c did not give any acetylated product but recovery of the starting compound almost quantitatively.

Basicities and structures of 2-(N-arylaminomethylene)-3(2H)-benzo[b]thiophenones,-benzo[b]furanones,and -benzo[b]selenophenones

The ionization constants of the conjugate acids of the reaction series 2-(N-arylaminomethylene)-3(2H)-benzo[b]thiophenones,-benzo[b]furanones, and -benzo[b]selenophenones were determined by potentiometric titration in anhydrous acetonitrile.
