Cup-shaped E,E-stilbenophane: synthesis,crystal structure and supramolecular chemistry

A new E,E-stilbenophane was synthesised and characterised. The crystal structure of this cyclophane shows that this molecule has a cup-shaped structure, which hosts a phenyl ring of neighbouring molecule as guest in its cavity with a π–π distance of about 3.7 Å. Moreover, the NMR spectra and theoretical analysis (gauge-independent atomic orbitals (GIAO) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM)) suggest that the silver recognition by E,E-stilbenophane host molecules is based on cation–π interactions in which the π-electrons of the double bonds play a major role.     

The Different,but Interesting Behaviors of Benzyl Systems in the Willgerodt-Kindler Reaction under Solvent-Free Conditions

On the benzyl system, bearing various functional groups, have been carried out the Willgerodt-Kindler reaction to obtain thiobenzmorpholide ( 1 ). The reactions, under solvent-free conditions, were performed in both classical (reflux, room temperature) and nonclassical (microwave) conditions to attempt our elucidation of the reactions pathways. Unlike benzylamine and benzyl mercaptan, benzyl halides give poor result due to the type of amine. The experimental results suggest that the proposed reaction pathway involves the oxidation coupling of benzylic substrates, followed by a thiolation step and an attack of the amine on the thiolated product to give ( 1 ).     

Regioselective annelation of 3-(prop-2-ynylsulfanyl)-1,2,4-benzotriazine to thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine

Summary Thiosemicarbazide reacted with 1,2-diaminobenzene to give 1,2-dihydro-3-thioxo-1,2,4-benzotriazine (1) in fairly good yield in a solvent free reaction under microwave irradiation.1 was condensed with prop-2ynyl bromide in the presence of sodium methoxide to afford the corresponding 3-(prop-2-ynylsulfanyl)-1,2,4-benzotriazine (5). Transformation of5 to 3-methylidene-2,3-dihydro-9H-thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]benzotriazine (6) was performed in the presence of a palladium salt.

A Fast and Solvent-Free Conversion of Thioamides into Thioesters

Summary. Solvent-free irradiation of thiomorpholides with two kinds of methylating agents under microwave or ultrasonic conditions gave the corresponding thioesters in high yield. The method is simple and avoids prolonged heating with solvents.

Enhanced Efficiency of Dye–sensitized Solar Cells Based on Bulk Synthesized TiO2 Nanorods Annealed at Different Temperatures

In this study, bulk TiO₂ nanorods are synthesized by hydrothermal method in order to be used in the dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These nanorods are annealed at different temperatures and deposited electrophoretically. The influence of post heat treatment has been thoroughly investigated on fabricated DSSCs using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results have revealed that the diameter, size and density of the prepared bulk nanorods are function of annealing temperatures. Optimization of the prepared DSSCs has led to an improved efficiency (ca. 3.82%) under AM 1.5 simulated sunlight.

A divergent McMurry coupling of the bis-salisaldehyde with methylene linker: The characterization of a key by-product with the possible pathway formation

The McMurry coupling of a bis-salisaldehyde 3a with methyl linker as the smallest member of its alkyl series is known to give the remarkably lower yield of the corresponding stilbenophanes. The half part of this molecule, unlike bigger analogues, is a good leaving group which affordsthreo isomer of 4H, 4′H–4,4′-bibenzo[d][1,3]dioxine 4 in high diastereoisomeric ratio (99>). A further study showed that the formation of this key by-product is the reason for formation of other by-products, namely, 5a,10b-dihydrobenzofuro[2,3-b]benzofuran 9 and 2-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-yl)phenol 10. Two reaction pathways for the formation of by-products have been proposed which are responsible for the unusual activity of dialdehyde 3a.

Synthesis,characterization and selective Cu2+ recognition of novel E– and Z–stilbenophanes

We have demonstrated the synthesis and characterization of novel E- and Z-stilbenophanes via four reaction steps. X-ray structure analysis showed that the p-electrons of the double bonds and the oxygen atoms pointing towards the center of a cavity of Z-isomer. Both isomers recognize selectively Cu²⁺ ions over other competing metal ions as measured by UV-vis titration by the detection limit 10–12 µM. The 1:1 ratio complex formation was confirmed by HRMS analysis. Theoretical calculations based on GIAO and CMAD approaches and ¹H NMR analysis confirmed the UV-vis data of Z-isomer.
