Polymers by the reaction of bis(pyrylium salts) with diamines: A novel approach to ionene polymers

The following reactions of pyrylium salts with amines are described: (1)bis(pyrylium salts) with amines; (2) diamines with pyrylium salts; and (3) bis(pyrylium salts) with diamines. Both (1) and (2) give bis(pyridinium salts) in high yields, and (3) gives the corresponding polymers which are isolated and characterized. This procedure was applied to cationic bis(pyrylium salts) to give cationic dimers and polymers, and further to zwitterionic bis(pyrylium salts) to yield the corresponding zwitterionic dimers and polymers.     

Over one century after discovery: pyrylium salt chemistry emerging as a powerful approach for the construction of complex macrocycles and metallo-supramolecules

Over one century after its discovery, pyrylium salt chemistry has been extensively applied in preparing light emitters, photocatalysts, and sensitizers. In most of these studies, pyrylium salts acted as versatile precursors for the preparation of small molecules (such as furan, pyridines, phosphines, pyridinium salts, thiopyryliums and betaine dyes) and poly(pyridinium salt)s. In recent decades, pyrylium salt chemistry has emerged as a powerful approach for constructing complex macrocycles and metallo-supramolecules. In this perspective, we attempt to summarize the representative efforts of synthesizing and self-assembling large, complex architectures using pyrylium salt chemistry. We believe that this perspective not only highlights the recent achievements in pyrylium salt chemistry, but also inspires us to revisit this chemistry to design and construct macrocycles and metallo-supramolecules with increasing complexity and desired function.

This perspective summarizes the representative efforts of synthesizing and self-assembling large, complex architectures using pyrylium salt chemistry.

Secondary amines react with 2,4-dialcoxy 6-méthyl pyrylium salts to give two new series of 2-amino and 2,4-diamino pyrylium cations. 2,4-Dialkoxy pyrylium salts react as alkylating reagents. A comparison with 1,3-dialcoxy carbonium cations reactivity is reported.     

Basicities and transformations of pyrylium and pyridinium salts containing p-aminophenyl substituents

On the basis of the measured basicity constants of pyrylium and pyridinium salts containing p-aminophenyl substituents it is shown that the positive charge in the pyrylium cation is considerably higher than in the pyridinium cation. The constants of the pyrylium and pyridinium substituents, which show that the magnitude of the electronic effect of the pyrylium ring is considerably higher than that of the pyrydinium ring, were calculated. The reaction of the indicated pyrylium salts with some electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents was examined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1025–1028, August, 1976.     

Pyrylium,pyridine, and N-phenylpyridinium derivatives of cyclopentadienyltricarbonylmanganese

2,4,6-Trisubstituted pyrylium salts containing a cymantrenyl substituent in the 6 position were synthesized by condensation of acetylcymantrene with chalcones. As compared with the corresponding pyrylium derivatives of ferrocene, the pyrylium salts obtained exchange a heteroatom more readily and are more stable. The pyrylium derivatives of cymantrene were converted to the corresponding pyridines by the action of ammonium acetate in glacial acetic acid or an aqueous solution of ammonia and to the corresponding N-phenylpyridinium salts by the action of aniline in acetic acid or alcohol.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 21–24, January, 1979.     

Synthesis and spectral properties of furyl-substituted pyridines and pyrylium and pyridinium salts

2,6-Diphenyl-4-(5-R-2-furyl) pyrylium and 2,4-diphenyl-6-(5-bromo-2-furyl) pyrylium perchlorates and the corresponding pyridines and 1-methylpyridinium perchlorates were synthesized. On the basis of the UV and PMR spectra it was concluded that there is significant electronic interaction of the furylium substituent with the pyrylium and pyridinium cations.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1320–1324, October, 1988.     

The preparation of 4-substituted pyrylium salts and their use in dienal synthesis

The unsubstituted pyrylium nucleus is shown to undergo reaction with cuprate or secondary Grignard organometallic reagents to give intermediate 4-substituted pyrans which are converted into the corresponding 4-substituted pyrylium salts (7 examples) in fair to good overall yield. The synthetic utility of the 4-substituted pyrylium heterocycles is demonstrated by their reaction with organolithium reagents to give 3,5-disubstituted dienals in a highly stereospecific manner (7 examples) via electrocyclic ring opening of the intermediate 2-substituted pyrans.     

Electrochemical properties of bis(pyrylium) salts containing a phenylene bridge

Bis(pyrylium) cations were obtained by the condensation of methyl-substituted pyrylium salts with terephthalic dialdehyde. Their electrochemical reduction in dimethylformamide was studied by cyclical volt-amperometry on a platinum disk electrode. The reduction of compounds of the bis(pyrylium) series proceeds in two steps with the formation of cation radicals in the first step and a neutral quinoid particle in the second step.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 460–464, April, 1990.     

Interaction of benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with hydrazine. Derivatives of 5H-[2,3]benzothieno[2,3-e]diazepines

A study has been made of the reaction of 1,3-disubstituted bezothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts with hydrazine. It has been shown that 1,3-dialkyl-substituted benzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium salts interact with hydrazine to give N-amino-1,3-dialkylbenzothieno[2,3-c]pyridines. The presence of a pyrylium ring on one of the positions of the phenyl group leads to a mixture of N-amino derivatives and 5H-[2,3]benzothieno[2,3-e]diazepines. In contrast, 1,3-diphenylbenzothieno[2,3-c]pyrylium perchlorate gives exclusively 5H-[2,3]benzothieno[2,3-e]diazepine.L. M.

Organomercury compounds : XIX. The preparation of pentafluorophenylmercurials by mercuration under basic conditions

Mercuration of pentafluorobenzene under basic conditions in aqueous tertbutanol by tetrabromomercurate(II) ions, phenylmercuric chloride, and p-tolylmercuric chloride yields bis(pentafluorophenyl)mercury, (pentafluorophenyl)-phenylmercury, and (pentafluorophenyl)-p-tolymercury respectively, in a single simple preparative step. Cleavage of bis(pentafluorophenyl)mercury with iodide or bromide ions in alcohols or aqueous alcohols gives pentafluorobenzene, tetrahalogenomercurate(II) ions, and base. Under alkaline conditions, tetrahalogenomercurate(II) ions are reduced to mercury by ethanol or methanol. Decomposition of (pentafluorophenyl)phenylmercury by iodide ions has also been studied.     

2-Ferrocenyl-substituted pyrylium ions from coupling of ethynylferrocene with cyclomanganated chalcones

2-Ferrocenyl-substituted pyrylium salts are produced when orthomanganated chalcones are reacted with ethynylferrocene in CCl₄. When the reaction is carried out in benzene, intermediate ferrocenyl-substituted (η⁵-pyranyl)Mn(CO)₃ species can be isolated which give the pyrylium cations on oxidation. The electrochemistry of the 2-ferrocenyl-pyrylium cations shows both oxidation (of the ferrocenyl) and reduction (of the pyrylium) processes, and the UV-visible spectra show a broad band at ca 680 nm which can be assigned to an intramolecular charge transfer transition.     

Reactions of pyrylium salts with nucleophilic agents

The reaction of -unsubstituted pyrylium salts with alkali-metal cyanides gives cyano- and carboxy-substituted pyrans and pyrylium salts, while the reaction with sodium sulfide gives dipyranyl sulfides. A phthalimide derivative of pyran is obtained from 2,6-diphenylpyrylium perchlorate and potassium phthalimide, while pyrylium cations react with zinc to give the corresponding dipyranyls.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1313–1316, October, 1972.     

π-Aromatic complexes of metal carbonyls in the pyrylium salt series

By the reaction of lithium derivatives of cyclopentadienylmagnesiumtricarbonyl, cyclopentadienylrheniumtricarbonyl, and benzenechromiumtricarbonyl with 2,6-disubstituted pyrylium salts the corresponding 4H-pyrans have been synthesized, and the oxidative dehydration of these has given pyrylium cations containing the stated organometallic groups in position 4. It has been shown that the -complexes obtained readily exchange the oxygen of the pyrylium ring for other heteroatoms with the formation of heterocyclic compounds with metallocarbonyl substituents.Translated from Khimiya Geterosiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 593–597, May, 1985.     

Cyclic transmembrane charge transport mediated by pyrylium and thiopyrylium ions

Transient spectroscopy revealed that 2,4,6-trimethylpyrylium, 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium, and 2,4,6-triphenylthiopyrylium ions oxidatively quench excited triplet [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinato]zinc(II) to form the corresponding neutral radicals and the zinc porphyrin pi-cation. The measured quenching rate constants were proportional to the pyrylium one-electron reduction potentials, that is, the reaction driving force. In the presence of anionic dihexadecyl phosphate vesicles, only the fraction of pyrylium not bound to the vesicle was capable of reacting with the photoexcited zinc porphyrin. Nonetheless, the pyrylium radicals mediated highly efficient transmembrane reduction of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)cobalt(III) contained within the inner aqueous core of the vesicles with apparent quantum yields that approached unity. Permeability coefficients (P) determined for the pyrylium radicals, pyrylium cations, and the proton were 10(-4)-2 x 10(-5) cm/s, 10(-10) cm/s, and < 5 x 10(-7) cm/s, respectively, so that only the neutral radicals are membrane-permeable on the time scale of the transmembrane redox reactions. However, each electron carrier was demonstrated to transport up to 200 electrons, at which point the internal pool of electron acceptors was exhausted. Since the cations are membrane-impermeable, a reaction cycle is proposed that includes hydrolysis of the pyrylium cations formed within the aqueous core to the corresponding 1,5-diketones which, as neutral molecules, can diffuse across the bilayer. According to this mechanism, while undergoing redox cycling the pyrylium ions function as cyclical antiporters of OH(-) and the electron, thereby maintaining electroneutrality in the reaction compartments.

(Pentafluorophenyl)sulfur fluorides, 19F NMR

The low-temperature ¹⁹F NMR spectra of (pentafluorophenyl)sulfur trifluoride are explained by the trigonal bipyramid structure ( 1a ) with the pentafluorophenyl ring in the basal plane and a relatively high barrier to rotation about the C? S bond. In the presence of a hydrogen fluoride scavenger, there is a high barrier to intramolecular rearrangement of the sulfur fluorines about the sulfur atom. The single basal fluorine couples strongly with one ortho fluorine and weakly with the other, but the two apical fluorines couple equally with both ortho fluorines. A six-bond coupling between S? F and p? F is found in (pentafluorophenyl)sulfur trifluoride and in (pentafluorophenyl)-sulfinyl fluoride, but not in (pentafluorophenyl)sulfonyl fluoride.     

The spectroscopy of pyrylium salts

The spectra of pyrylium perchlorate, various alkyl and aromatic derivatives, and cyanine-like dyes derived from pyrylium salts are discussed. These molecules are closely related to molecules which belong to the C_2v point group, and the existence of the symmetry permits a more detailed discussion of the spectra than has been attempted heretofore.

利用荧光探针技术研究氧鎓盐光引发丁基乙烯基醚的阳离子聚合

本工作合成了一组带不同取代基的氧鎓盐化合物,并对它们的荧光寿命、荧光量子产率以及用丁基乙烯基醚(BVE)进行猝灭的荧光猝灭常数进行了测定,发现带拉电子基的氧鎓盐化合物和BVE间存在着较强的相互作用,相反,推电子基的引入则减弱了这种影响,表明反应具有电子转移性质.由于在BVE的聚合过程中,被猝灭的氧鎓盐荧光会因BVE聚合、双键减少而使氧鎓盐荧光逐步恢复.因此利用这一现象作为荧光探针,考察了氧鎓盐光引发BVE的阳离子聚合过程.文中还对氧鎓盐光引发BVE聚合的机理进行了初步讨论.
