Combination of an aromatic core and aromatic side chains which constitutes discotic liquid crystal and organogel supramolecular assemblies

This paper reports unique and unusual formations of columnar liquid crystals and organogels by self-assembling discotic molecules, which are composed of an aromatic hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) core and six flexible aromatic side chains. In HAT derivatives 3a, with 4'-(N,N-diphenylamino)biphenyl-4-yl chains, 3b, with 4'-[N-(2-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl-4-yl chains, and 3c, with 4'-phenoxybiphenyl-4-yl chains, the two-dimensional hexagonal packings can be created by their self-assembling in the liquid crystalline phase, which were characterized by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. In certain solvents, HAT molecules 3a-c can form the viscoelastic fluid organogels, in which one-dimensional aggregates composed of the HAT molecules are self-assembled and entangled into three-dimensional network structures. The organogel structures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy observation, (1)H NMR, UV-vis, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. In contrast to 3a-c, none of the liquid crystalline and organogel phases could be formed from 3d and 3e with short aromatic side chains including a phenylene spacer, and 3f (except a few specific solutions) and 3g without terminal diarylamino and phenoxy groups. In 3a-c, the aromatic side chains with terminal flexible groups make up soft regions that cooperatively stabilize the liquid crystalline and organogel supramolecular structures together with the hard regions of the hexaazatriphenylene core.     

Synthesis and X-ray diffraction study of 5-(8-methoxy-2-methyl-6,7-methylenedioxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl)-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid

The reaction of cotarnine with 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid afforded 5-(8-methoxy-2-methyl-6,7-methylenedioxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-yl)-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid. Its crystal structure was established by X-ray diffraction analysis and the structure in solution was studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. This compound has a zwitterionic structure. In the crystal, the molecules are linked in dimers by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and in solutions, the dimers occur in equilibrium with the monomers.     

(1Z,3Z)-1,4-Di(pyridin-2-yl)buta-1,3-diene-2,3-diol: the planar highly conjugated symmetrical enediol with multiple intramolecular hydrogen bonds

1H, (13)C, and (15)N NMR spectral data show that in chloroform solution (1Z,3Z)-1,4-di(pyridin-2-yl)buta-1,3-diene-2,3-diol, OO, is in ca. 9:1 equilibrium with (3Z)-3-hydroxy-1,4-di(pyridin-2-yl)but-3-en-2-one, OK, while no 1,4-di(pyridin-2-yl)-2,3-butanedione, KK, was detected. The species present in the tautomeric mixture were identified by comparing their experimental chemical shifts with those known for similar compounds as well as with the theoretically calculated (GIAO-HF/DFT) values. Ab initio calculations show that OK and especially the highly conjugated OO forms are preferred in the tautomeric mixtures both in vacuo and in chloroform solution. Comparison of experimental (Arrhenius) and calculated (ab initio) energies of OK shows that the MP2/6-31G//RHF/6-31G method gives the most precise results. There are one and two strong O-H.N hydrogen bonds present in the molecules of the former and latter compound, respectively. Other tautomeric forms, e.g., dienaminedione [(1Z,4Z)-1,4-di[pyridin-2(1H)-ylidene]butane-2,3-dione], and their rotamers were found to have higher energies. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that dienediol OO is the only tautomeric form present in the crystal at 173 K. Its almost perfectly planar molecule is stabilized by two strong intramolecular O-H.N hydrogen bonds.     

Synthesis, spectral characterization and crystal structure of N-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde-N'-4-nitrobenzoyl hydrazone and its square planar Cu(II) complex

A new aroyl hydrazone, N-2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde-N'-4-nitrobenzoyl hydrazone (H2L) and its mixed ligand Cu(II) complex [CuLpy] [py, pyridine] have been prepared. The ligand is characterized by elemental analysis, electronic, infrared and NMR spectral studies and the complex by electronic, infrared, EPR spectral studies and the magnetic susceptibility data. The structures of the compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Both the ligand and the Cu complex crystallize into a triclinic lattice with a space group of PI. From the crystal studies, it is concluded that the ligand molecule exits in the keto form in the solid state, while at the time of complexation, it tautomerises into the enol form. The complex is formed by the double deprotonation of the ligand molecule--both the phenolic and the enolic protons.     

Preparation,Single-crystal Structure and Antibacterial Activity of N-（（6-Bromine-2-methoxylquinoline-3-yl）benzyl）-3-morpho-line-N-（naphthalene-1-yl）propionamide

The halogenated hydrocarbon amination reaction between the original raw mate-rial N-((6-bromine-2-methoxylquinoline-3-yl)benzyl)-3-chlorine-N-(naphthalene-1-yl)propionamide and morpholine produces the target molecule N-((6-bromine-2-methoxylquinoline-3-yl)benzyl)-3-morpholine-N-(naphthalene-1-yl)propionamide (C34H32BrN3O3,Mr=610.54),and its structure was characterized by 1H NMR,IR,H RMS and X-ray single-crystal diffraction.This crystal is of triclinic system,space group P1 with a=9.315(2),b=10.3449(12),c=15.901(3),α=80.981(14),β=76.996(17),γ=74.917(13)°,V=1433.6(5)3,Z=2,Dc=1.414 g/cm3,F(000)= 632,μ(MoKα)=1.47 mm-1,the final R=0.0735 and wR=0.2457.In total,5585 independent reflections including 3727 observed ones with I 2σ(I) were collected.The dihedral angle between naphthyl and substituted quinolyl and that between phenyl and substituted quinolyl are 61.2(1) and 108.2(1)°,respectively.Through C-H…O and C-H…N hydrogen bonds among molecules,the whole molecule is stacked into a three-dimensional structure.In addition,π-π stacking among adjacent naphthalene rings makes the molecule more stable,and the morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation.The target molecule exhibits good antibacterial activity.     

Chromonic liquid crystal formation by Edicol Sunset Yellow

The solution and liquid crystalline phases formed by dissolution of the dye Edicol Sunset Yellow (ESY) in water have been examined using optical microscopy, multinuclear NMR (1H, 2H, 13C, 23Na), and X-ray diffraction. From the solution 1H and 13C spectra (particularly 13C), it is clear that the tautomeric form present in all these phases is the hydrazone, NH, structure, not the usually given azo, OH, form. Two chromonic mesophases occur: a nematic (N) phase at approximately 30-40 wt % and a hexagonal (M) phase at approximately 40-45 wt %. X-ray diffraction data show that the aggregates in the mesophases are single molecule stacks, with a typical spacing of approximately 3.5 angstroms, as expected for these systems. The NMR quadrupole splittings (2H2O, 23Na) are similar to those observed for surfactant lyotropic mesophases, suggesting that there are no water molecules or counter ions that are tightly bound to the ESY aggregates. An unusual feature of the X-ray diffraction pattern of the mesophases is the occurrence of diffuse off-axis reflections at approximately 6.8 angstroms. It is proposed that these arise from a head-to-tail packing of the molecules within the stacks.     

The Richest Collection of Tautomeric Polymorphs: The Case of 2‐Thiobarbituric Acid

Five new polymorphs and one hydrated form of 2‐thiobarbituric acid have been isolated and characterised by solid‐state methods. In both the crystalline form II and in the hydrate form, the 2‐thiobarbituric molecules are present in the enol form, whereas only the keto isomer is present in crystalline forms I (reported in 1967 by Calas and Martinex), III , V and VI . In form IV , on the other hand, a 50:50 ordered mixture of enol/keto molecules is present. All new forms have been characterised by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, 1D and 2D (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N) solid‐state NMR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray powder diffraction at variable temperature. It has been possible to induce keto–enol conversion between the forms by mechanical methods. The role of hydrogen‐bond interactions in determining the relative stability of the polymorphs and as a driving force in the conversions has been ascertained. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the 2‐thiobarbituric family of crystal forms represents the richest collection of examples of tautomeric polymorphism so far reported in the literature.

The N-H and oxygen atom are involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonds which link the molecules into a one-dimensional chain.     

Synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives via reaction between aromatic amines and aldehydes: Structure determination and theoretical insights

The condensation reaction between primary amine and aromatic aldehyde or ketone ubiquitously synthesizes –C=N- function that appears in the Schiff bases. Presence of ortho –NH/NH₂ group may form a cyclic product which is further oxidized to generate –C=N- function. Herein, two quinoline based cyclic benzimidazole compounds, namely, 2-[1-(Phenyl-pyridin-2-yl-methyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-quinoline (L5) and 2-[1-(Phenyl-pyridin-2-yl-methyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-quinolin-8-ol (L6) are synthesized from o-phenylenediamine derivative [N¹-(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methyl)benzene-1,2-diamine] (L) via condensation followed by in-situ dehydrogenation. The structures of the products have been confirmed by the single crystal X-ray diffraction measurement and other physicochemical data. The intra- and intermolecular H-bonding, C–H ^… π interactions in the structures instigate supramolecular self-assembly. The DFT computation has been attempted to explain the formation of energy minimized cyclic product out of acyclic counterpart; the meticulous comparison of the present theoretical outcomes with that of previously reported o-phenylenediamine derivatives, further supports the formation of energy minimized products.     

13C-labeled N-acetyl-neuraminic acid in aqueous solution: detection and quantification of acyclic keto, keto hydrate, and enol forms by 13C NMR spectroscopy

Aqueous solutions of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, 1) labeled with (13)C at C1, C2, and/or C3 were analyzed by (13)C NMR spectroscopy to detect and quantify the acyclic forms (keto, keto hydrate, enol) present at varying pHs. In addition to pyranoses, solutions contained the keto form, based on the detection of C2 signals at approximately 198 ppm (approximately 0.7% at pH 2). Spectra of [2-(13)C] and [3-(13)C] isotopomers contained signals arising from labeled carbons at approximately 143 and approximately 120 ppm, respectively, which were attributed to enol forms. Solution studies of [1,2,3-(13)C3] 1 substantiated the presence of enol (approximately 0.5% at pH 2). Enol was not detected at pH > 6.0. A C2 signal observed at approximately 94 ppm was identified as C2 of the keto hydrate (approximately 1.9% at pH 2), based partly on its abundance as a function of solution pH. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to study the effect of enol and hydrate structure on J(CH) and J(CC) values involving C2 and C3 of these forms. Solvated DFT calculations showed that (2)J(C2,H3) in cis and trans enols have similar magnitudes but opposite signs, making this J-coupling potentially useful to distinguish enol configurations. Solvent deuterium exchange studies of 1 showed rapid incorporation of (2)H from (2)H2O at H3 axial in the pyranoses at p(2)H 8.0, followed by slower exchange at H3 equatorial. The acyclic keto form, which presumably participates in this reaction, must assume a pseudo-cyclic conformation in solution in order to account for the exchange selectivity. Weak (13)C signals arising from labeled species were also observed consistently and reproducibly in aqueous solutions of (13)C-labeled 1, possibly arising from products of lactonization or intermolecular esterification.     

Novel approach to aminocarboranes by mild amidation of selected iodo-carboranes

A mild protocol for the palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amidation of icosahedral carboranes is described. Employing 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2'-(N,N-dimethylamino)biphenyl (1) as a ligand and K(3)PO(4) as a base, benzamide, trifluoroacetamide, acetamide, and formamide were coupled to a series of mono- and di-iodo carboranes furnishing the respective carborane derivatives in good to excellent yields. Subsequent base-mediated saponification of the trifluoroacetamide derivatives was shown to provide the free aminocarboranes.
