Synthesis of tetrahydrochromenes and dihydronaphthofurans via a cascade process of [3 + 3] and [3 + 2] annulation reactions: mechanistic insight for 6-endo-trig and 5-exo-trig cyclisation.

ABSTRACT: Substituted tetrahydrochromenes and dihydronaphthofurans are easily accessible by the treatment of β-tetralone with trans-β-nitro styrene derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) acetates through a formal [3 + 3]/[3 + 2] annulation. The reaction proceeds through a cascade Michael/oxa-Michael pathway with moderate to good yields. A DFT study was carried out to account for the formation of the corresponding six and five-membered heterocycles via 6-endo-trig and 5-exo-trig cyclization.

Project description:Highly strained cage hydrocarbons have long stood as fundamental molecules to explore the limits of chemical stability and reactivity, probe physical properties, and more recently as bioactive molecules and in materials discovery. Interestingly, the nitrogenous congeners have attracted much less attention. Previously absent from the literature, azahomocubanes, offer an opportunity to investigate the effects of a nitrogen atom when incorporated into a highly constrained polycyclic environment. Herein disclosed is the synthesis of 1-azahomocubane, accompanied by comprehensive structural characterization, physical property analysis and chemical reactivity. These data support the conclusion that nitrogen is remarkably well tolerated in a highly strained environment. 1-Azahomocubane has been prepared 56 years after the parent hydrocarbon. Introduction of a nitrogen atom into this constrained polycyclic environment resulted in minimal changes to the framework geometry, with s-character of the nitrogen lone pair increasing due to strain.

Catalytic electron drives host–guest recognition† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. CCDC 2096046. For ESI and crystallographic data in CIF or other electronic format see https://doi.org/10.1039/d2sc01342h

Project description:Electron injection is demonstrated to trigger electrocatalytic chain reactions capable of releasing a solvent molecule and forming a redox active guest molecule. One-electron reduction of a hydroxy anthrone derivative (AQH–CH2CN) results in the formation of an anthraquinone radical anion (AQ˙−) and acetonitrile (CH3CN). The resulting fragment of AQ˙− exhibits high stability under mild reducing conditions, and it has enough reducing power to reduce the reactant of AQH–CH2CN. Hence, subsequent electron transfer from AQ˙− to AQH–CH2CN yields the secondary AQ˙− and CH3CN, while the initial AQ˙− is subsequently oxidized to AQ. Overall, the reactants of AQH–CH2CN are completely converted into AQ and CH3CN in sustainable electrocatalytic chain reactions. These electrocatalytic chain reactions are mild and sustainable, successfully achieving catalytic electron-triggered charge-transfer (CT) complex formation. Reactant AQH–CH2CN is non-planar, making it unsuitable for CT interaction with an electron donor host compound (UHAnt2) bearing parallel anthracene tweezers. However, conversion of AQH–CH2CN to planar electron acceptor AQ by the electrocatalytic chain reactions turns on CT interaction, generating a host CT complex with UHAnt2 (AQ ⊂ UHAnt2). Therefore, sustainable electrocatalytic chain reactions can control CT interactions using only a catalytic amount of electrons, ultimately affording a one-electron switch associated with catalytic electron-triggered turn-on molecular recognition. The reactants of AQH–CH2CN are converted into AQ and CH3CN in sustainable electrocatalytic chain reactions, successfully achieving catalytic electron-triggered charge-transfer (CT) complex formation.

The enantiospecific synthesis of (+)-monomorine I using a 5-endo-trig cyclisation strategy.

Project description:We have developed a general strategy for the synthesis of 2,5-syn disubstituted pyrrolidines that is based on the multi-faceted reactivity of the sulfone moiety and a 5-endo-trig cyclisation. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of indolizidine alkaloid monomorine I. Two factors were key to the success of this endeavour; the first was the choice of nitrogen protecting group whilst the second was the conditions for the final stereoselective amination step. Employing a combination of different protecting groups and an intramolecular reductive amination reaction we were able to prepare (+)-monomorine I in just 11 steps from commercially available D-norleucine in a completely stereoselective manner.

An unprecedented azobenzene-based organic single-component ferroelectric† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. CCDC 2144165 and 2144166. For ESI and crystallographic data in CIF or other electronic format see https://doi.org/10.1039/d2sc00689h

Project description:Organic single-component ferroelectrics, as an important class of metal-free ferroelectrics, are highly desirable because of their easy processing, mechanical flexibility, and biocompatibility. However, although nearly 50 years have passed since the discovery of photochromism in azobenzene-doped cholesteric liquid crystals, ferroelectricity has never been found in azobenzene-based crystals. Here, we use an amino group to substitute a fluorine atom of 2,2′,4,4′,6,6′-hexafluoroazobenzene, which successfully introduces ferroelectricity into 2-amino-2′,4,4′,6,6′-pentafluoroazobenzene (APFA). APFA shows an extremely high Curie temperature (Tc) of 443 K, which is outstanding among single-component ferroelectrics. It also exhibits an indirect optical band gap of 2.27 eV as well as photoisomerization behavior between the trans-form and the cis-form triggered by pedal motion. To our knowledge, APFA is the first azobenzene-based ferroelectric crystal. This work opens an avenue to design excellent single-component ferroelectrics and will inspire the exploration of azobenzene-based ferroelectrics for promising applications in biofriendly ferroelectric devices. The first azobenzene-based organic single-component ferroelectric 2-amino-2′,4,4′,6,6′-pentafluoroazobenzene was designed, which shows an exceptionally high Curie temperature (Tc) of 443 K.

Project description:We present the first solid-state structural evidence of mono- and bis(pyridine)chloronium cations. The latter was synthesized from a mixture of pyridine, elemental chlorine and sodium tetrafluoroborate in propionitrile at low temperatures. The mono(pyridine) chloronium cation was realized with the less reactive pentafluoropyridine, using ClF, AsF5, and C5F5N in anhydrous HF. During the course of this study, we also investigated pyridine dichlorine adducts and found a surprising disproportionation reaction of chlorine that depended on the substitutional pattern of the pyridine. Electron richer dimethylpyridine (lutidine) derivatives favor full disproportionation into a positively and a negatively charged chlorine atom which forms a trichloride monoanion, while unsubstituted pyridine forms a 1 : 1 py·Cl2 adduct. The lutidine elephants are pulling apart a dichlorine molecule and stabilizing the corresponding chloronium cation. The remaining chloride forms a trichloride anion. Unsubstituted pyridine, however, only forms a strongly polarized dichlorine adduct.

Project description:Self-assembling peptides are of huge interest for biological, medical and nanotechnological applications. The enormous chemical variety that is available from the 20 amino acids offers potentially unlimited peptide sequences, but it is currently an issue to predict their supramolecular behavior in a reliable and cheap way. Herein we report a computational method to screen and forecast the aqueous self-assembly propensity of amyloidogenic pentapeptides. This method was found also as an interesting tool to predict peptide crystallinity, which may be of interest for the development of peptide based drugs. 8000 pentapeptides were computed though CG-MD starting from the model sequence DFNKF. Based on experimental validation, theoretical conditions (solubility and aggregation propensity) which may favor crystallization or fibrillation were identified.
