Arylazoindazole Photoswitches: Facile Synthesis and Functionalization via SNAr Substitution
نویسندگان
چکیده
A straightforward synthetic route to arylazoindazoles via nucleophilic aromatic substitution is presented. Upon deprotonation of the NH group, a C6F5-substituted formazan undergoes facile cyclization as a result of intermolecular nucleophilic substitution (SNAr). This new class of azo photoswitches containing an indazole five-membered heterocycle shows photochemical isomerization with high fatigue resistance. In addition, the Z-isomers have long thermal half-lives in the dark of up to several days at room temperature. The fluorinated indazole group offers a handle for further functionalization and tuning of its properties, as it is shown to be susceptible to a subsequent, highly selective nucleophilic displacement reaction.

In this paper, a series of well-defined polyethylene-b-polytetrafluoroethylene diblock copolymers (PE–b– PTFEs) were prepared by a coupling reaction of hydroxyl-terminated polyethylene (PE–OH) and isocyanateterminated 1H,1H-perfluoro-1-tetradecanol (PFDO–NCO). PE–OH was prepared by the coordination chain transfer polymerization using 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino ethyl] pyridine iron (...

The lack of a high-yield, renewable and low-cost synthesis method limits the potential applications of boron nitride with impressive characterizations. In this study, a facile method is developed for the preparation of chemically functionalized boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) by considering the quantity and quality of chemical materials involved in the synthesis process. The proposed green met...
متن کاملFrom thioether substituted porphyrins to sulfur linked porphyrin dimers: an unusual SNAr via thiolate displacement?
Treatment of meso 2-ethylhexyl-3-mercaptopropionate substituted porphyrins with base at room temperature generated a porphyrin thiolate anion which in situ reacted in a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction with remaining thioether derivative. This reaction yielded S-linked bisporphyrins in good yields, with mechanistic insight obtained via displacement reactions. Additionally, SNA...

One major synthetic route to the synthesis of benzyl amines, ethers, and esters is the nucleophilic substitution of a benzylic halide. To develop a method for the facile synthesis and functionalization of the isosteric azaborines, 2-chloromethyl-2,1-borazaronaphthalene has been synthesized in one step to afford a similar common precursor to a benzylic halide. This B-N isostere has been shown to...
