A new class of fluorescent dyes based on 1,3-benzodioxole and [1,3]-dioxolo[4.5-f]benzodioxole
(2011)
We report on synthesis and photophysical properties of a new class of fluorescent dyes. They are characterized by large Stokes-shifts, long fluorescence lifetimes in organic solvents and a pronounced dependency of the fluorescence lifetime on the solvent polarity. Also worthy of note is the high bleaching stability. To provide access to biochemical and medical applications a series of derivatives were prepared, which exhibit specific reactivity towards different biologically relevant functional groups (carboxylic acids, amines, maleimides, N-hydroxysuccinimide esters). Furthermore, two alkynes were prepared, which could be used in 'Click' chemistry.
The conformational equilibria of 1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane 1, 3-phenyl-1,3-thiasilacyclohexane 2, 1-methyl-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane 3, and 3-methyl-3-phenyl-1,3-thiasilacyclohexane 4 have been studied for the first time by low temperature C-13 NMR spectroscopy at 103 K. Predominance of the equatorial conformer of compound 1 (Ph-eq/Ph-ax=78%:22%) is much less than in its carbon analog, phenylcyclohexane (nearly 100% of Ph-eq). And in contrast to 1-methyl-1-phenylcyclohexane, the conformers with the equatorial Ph group are predominant for compounds 3 and 4: at 103 K, Ph-eq/Ph-ax ratios are 63%:37% (3) and 68%:32% (4). As the Si-C bonds are elongated with respect to C-C bonds, the barriers to ring inversion are only between 5.2-6.0 (ax -> eq) and 5.4-6.0 (eq -> ax) kcal mol(-1). Parallel calculations at the DFT and MP2 level of theory (as well as the G2 calculations for compound 1) show qualitative agreement with the experiment. The additivity/nonadditivity of conformational energies of substituents on cyclohexane and silacyclohexane derivatives is analyzed. The geminally disubstituted cyclohexanes containing a phenyl group show large deviations from additivity, whereas in 1-methyl-1-phenyl-1-silacyclohexane and 3-methyl-3-phenyl-1,3-thiasilacyclohexane the effects of the methyl and phenyl groups are almost additive. The reasons for the different conformational preferences in carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds are analyzed using the homodesmotic reactions approach.
A simple and straightforward approach to new polymetallic Ag-I and Cu-I supramolecules is presented. The reaction of N,P,N,P,N ligand 2 with Ag-I ions affords a trimetallic complex bearing a triangular Ag-3 core; metallophilic interactions are stabilized by ligands that display a multiple bridging coordination mode as 10-electron donors. Heteroleptic polymetallic Ag-I and Cu-I complexes based on ligand 2 and the 1,12-diazaperylene (dape) ligand are obtained by an alternative molecular organization of the polymetallic arrays compared to that in homoleptic complexes of ligand 2.
Synthetic routes to a collection of new fluorescent dyes are described, which are based on the [1,3]-dioxolo[4.5-f]benzodioxole (DBD) core. By introducing different electron withdrawing groups in 4- and 8-position of the DBD moiety the emission wavelength could be adjusted over a large spectral range from blue to orange light.
Ruthenium-catalyzed sulfoalkenylation of acetanilides and dual-use of the catalyst directing group
(2021)
In contrast to vinylsulfonates and vinylsulfones, vinylsulfonamides are unreactive in Pd-catalyzed oxidative Heck-coupling reactions with acetanilides. This limitation has been resolved by using a C-H-activation protocol based on Ru-Cu-Ag-catalysis. Overall, the Ru-Cu-Ag-catalyzed conditions turned out to be more reliable and showed better reproducibility than the Pd-catalyzed C-H-activation. The coupling products thus obtained are functionalized styrenyl sulfones and -sulfonamides which can be used as starting materials for the synthesis of sulfonyl pyrroles and sulfonyl pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolines.
