In all examples, only the methyl-substituted double bond undergoes an ene reaction with singlet oxygen, to afford hydroperoxides in moderate to good yields. We explain the high regioselectivities by a "large-group effect" of the adjacent quaternary stereocenter. Nitriles decrease the reactivity of singlet oxygen, presumably by quenching, but can stabilize proposed per-epoxide intermediates by polar interactions resulting in different stereoselectivities. Spiro lactams and lactones show an interesting effect on regio- and stereoselectivities of the ene reactions. Thus, singlet oxygen attacks the double bond preferentially anti to the carbonyl group, affording only one regioisomeric hydroperoxide. If the reaction occurs from the opposite face, the other regioisomer is exclusively formed by severe electrostatic repulsion in a perepoxide intermediate. We explain this unusual behavior by the fixed geometry of spiro compounds and call it a "spiro effect" in singlet oxygen ene reactions.}, language = {en} } @article{WessigFreyseSchusteretal.2020, author = {Wessig, Pablo and Freyse, Daniel and Schuster, David and Kelling, Alexandra}, title = {Fluorescent dyes with large stokes shifts based on Benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d']bis([1,3]dithiole) ("S4-DBD Dyes")}, series = {Europan journal of organic chemistry}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Europan journal of organic chemistry}, number = {11}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1434-193X}, doi = {10.1002/ejoc.202000093}, pages = {1732 -- 1744}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We report on a further development of [1,3]-dioxolo[4.5-f]benzodioxole (DBD) fluorescent dyes by replacement of the four oxygen atoms of the heterocyclic core by sulfur atoms.

The latter effect is presumably caused by an enhanced intersystem crossing to the triplet state due to the sulfur atoms. The very large Stokes shifts of the S-4-DBD dyes ranging from 3000 cm(-1) to 7400 cm(-1) (67 nm to 191 nm) should be especially emphasized.

The direct covalent linkage of the ferrocenyl moiety to the meso position of the macrocycle is achieved by simple oxidative coupling of appropriate precursors with trifluoroacetic acid as catalyst. The electronic coupling between the ferrocenyl moiety and the macrocyclic pi system is apparent from: a) the red shifts (293-718 cm(-1)) of the Soret and Q-bands in the electronic absorption spectra of ferrocenyl conjugates; b) the shift of oxidation potentials (50 130 mV) of both the ferrocene and the corrole rings to the positive potentials; and c) considerable shortening of the C-C bond which connects the ferrocene and the meso-carbon atom of the macrocycle.

Such compounds exhibit interesting physical properties and can be applied as molecular switches. Despite the high steric demand of the substituents, products were formed in moderate-to-good yields. In some cases, microwave conditions further improved yields. Bis-coupling afforded two isomers (syn and anti) that do not interconvert at room temperature. These products were easily separated and their relative stereochemistries were unequivocally assigned by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The syn and anti isomers exhibit different physical properties (e.g., melting points and solubilities) and interconversion by rotation around the aryl-aryl axis commences at <100 °C for fluoro-substituted diarylanthracenes and at >300 °C for alkyl- or alkoxy-substituted diarylanthracenes. The reactions with singlet oxygen were studied separately and revealed different reactivities and reaction pathways. The yields and reactivities depend on the size and electronic nature of the substituents. The anti isomers form the same 9,10-endoperoxides as the syn species, occasionally accompanied by unexpected 1,4-endoperoxides as byproducts. Thermolysis of the endoperoxides exclusively yielded the syn isomers. The interesting rotation around the aryl-aryl axis allows the application of 9,10-diarylanthracenes as molecular switches, which are triggered by light and air under mild conditions. Finally, the oxygenation and thermolysis sequence provides a simple, synthetic access to a single stereoisomer (syn) from an unselective coupling step.}, language = {en} } @article{LinkerFudickarKellingetal.2013, author = {Linker, Torsten and Fudickar, Werner and Kelling, Alexandra and Schilde, Uwe}, title = {Crystal structure of dimethyl 1,4-dioxaspiro[4,5]dec-6-ene-(8R)-[(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)oxa]-(2R,3R)-dica rboxylate, C19H18N2O12}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Kristallographie : international journal for structural, physical and chemical aspects of crystalline materials ; New crystal structures}, volume = {228}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Kristallographie : international journal for structural, physical and chemical aspects of crystalline materials ; New crystal structures}, number = {2}, publisher = {De Gruyter Oldenbourg}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, issn = {1433-7266}, doi = {10.1524/ncrs.2013.0123}, pages = {241 -- 242}, year = {2013}, abstract = {C19H18N2O12, orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1) (no. 19), a = 6.2472(6) angstrom, b = 17.576(2) angstrom, c = 18.848(3) angstrom, V = 2069.6 angstrom(3), Z = 4, R-gt(F) = 0.0393, wR(ref)(F-2) = 0.0694, T = 210 K.}, language = {en} } @article{LinkerBramborgKellingetal.2013, author = {Linker, Torsten and Bramborg, Andrea and Kelling, Alexandra and Schilde, Uwe}, title = {Crystal structure of trans-1,4-di-(2-(allyloxyethyl)-cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid, C18H24O6}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Kristallographie : international journal for structural, physical and chemical aspects of crystalline materials ; New crystal structures}, volume = {228}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Kristallographie : international journal for structural, physical and chemical aspects of crystalline materials ; New crystal structures}, number = {2}, publisher = {De Gruyter Oldenbourg}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, issn = {1433-7266}, doi = {10.1524/ncrs.2013.0124}, pages = {243 -- 244}, year = {2013}, abstract = {C18H24O6, triclinic, P (1) over bar (no. 2), a = 5.726(1) angstrom, b = 8.845(2) angstrom, c = 9.557(2) angstrom, alpha = 105.27(1)degrees, beta = 102.76(1)degrees, gamma = 103.49(1)degrees, V = 433.0 angstrom(3), Z = 1, R-gt(F) = 0.0412, wR(ref)(F-2) = 0.1075, T = 210 K.}, language = {en} } @article{SchmidtBergerKellingetal.2011, author = {Schmidt, Bernd and Berger, Ren{\´e} and Kelling, Alexandra and Schilde, Uwe}, title = {Pd-Catalyzed [2+2+1] coupling of alkynes and arenes phenol diazonium salts as mechanistic trapdoors}, series = {Chemistry - a European journal}, volume = {17}, journal = {Chemistry - a European journal}, number = {25}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {0947-6539}, doi = {10.1002/chem.201100609}, pages = {7032 -- 7040}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Alkynes and phenol diazonium salts undergo a Pd-catalyzed [2+2+1] cyclization reaction to spiro[4,5]decatetraene-7-ones.

Frameworks IFP-2, IFP-3 and IFP-4 are isostructural to previously reported IFP-1. The structures of IFP-2 and IFP-3 were solved by X-ray crystallographic analyses. The structure of IFP-4 was determined by a combination of PXRD and structure modelling and was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and 1H MAS and 13C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. All IFPs showed high thermal stability (345400?degrees C); IFP-1 and IFP-4 were stable in boiling water for 7 d. A detailed porosity analysis was performed on the basis of adsorption measurements by using various gases. The potential of the materials to undergo specific interactions with CO2 was investigated by measuring the isosteric heats of adsorption. The capacity to adsorb CH4 (at 298 K), CO2 (at 298 K) and H2 (at 77 K) at high pressure were also investigated.

X-Ray crystallography shows that in all four complexes the [CuBr4](2-) units have a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry which is in agreement with DFT calculations.

A correlation of structural (X-ray) parameters with the spin density at the copper centres (DFT) is well reflected in the EPR spectra of the bromidocuprates. This enables the correlation of X-ray and EPR parameters to predict the structure of tetrabromidocuprates in physical states other than the crystalline state.
