Synthesis of a π-Extended Double [9]Helicene

Double helicenes are appealing chiral frameworks. Their π-extension is desirable to achieve (chir)optical response in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) region, but access to higher double [n]helicenes (n≥8) has remained challenging. Herein, we report an unprecedented π-extended double [9]helicene ( D9H ), unambiguously revealing its structure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. D9H shows remarkable NIR emission from 750 to 1100 nm with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 18 %. In addition, optically pure D9H exhibits panchromatic circular dichroism with a notable dissymmetry factor (g_CD) of 0.019 at 590 nm, which is among the highest in the visible region for reported helicenes.     

Rapid Synthesis of 3‐Aminoimidazo[1,2‐a]Pyridines and Pyrazines

Synthesis of [125I]‐, [2H]‐, and [3H]‐Labeled 3‐Iodothyronamine (T1AM)

3‐Iodothyronamine (T₁AM) is a novel metabolite of thyroid hormone. In HEK‐293 cells expressing an orphan G‐protein coupled receptor, the trace amine receptor, T₁AM, potently increased cAMP accumulation. In mice, T₁AM rapidly induced hypothermia and bradycardia within minutes of administration. These results suggest the existence of a new signaling pathway, the stimulation of which leads to rapid physiological and behavioral consequences. Isotope‐labeled T₁AM derivatives would be useful to study the biology and pharmacology of T₁AM. Herein we describe efficient syntheses of [¹²⁵I]‐, [²H]‐, and [³H]‐T₁AM.

Synthesis and Characterization of a New UV Cross‐linkable Waterborne Siloxane‐polyurethane Dispersion

A new cross‐linkable waterborne siloxane‐polyurethane dispersion (PEDA‐SiPU) was synthesized by incorporating the acrylate groups into the side chain of the polyurethane using the pentaerythritol diacrylate(PEDA) and introducing polysiloxane groups into the soft segment of the polyurethane using dihydroxybutyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). They can form the cross‐linking structure by UV radiation in the presence of a photo‐initiator. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify the chain structure of PEDA‐SiPU. The effect of the PDMS content and the PEDA content on the C?C conversion behaviors under UV irradiation was investigated. Water resistance and the mechanical properties of the UV cured films were also studied. Through the controlling of suitable content of PDMS and PEDA introduced in the chain, the obtained PEDA‐SiPU films were proved to possess both good water resistance and mechanical properties.
