A Short Covalent Synthesis of an All-Carbon-Ring [2]Rotaxane
نویسندگان
چکیده
While the current supramolecular syntheses of [2]rotaxanes are generally efficient, the final product always retains the functional groups required for non-covalent preorganization. A short and high-yielding covalent-template-assisted approach is reported for the synthesis of a [2]rotaxane. A terephthalic acid template core preorganizes the covalently connected ring precursor fragments to induce a clipping-type cyclization over the thread moiety. Cleavage of the temporary ester bonds that connect the ring and thread fragments liberates the [2]rotaxane.

Efficient production of [n]rotaxanes by using template-directed clipping reactions.
In this article, we report on the efficient synthesis of well defined, homogeneous [n]rotaxanes (n up to 11) by a template-directed thermodynamic clipping approach. By employing dynamic covalent chemistry in the form of reversible imine bond formation, [n]rotaxanes with dialkylammonium ion (-CH(2)NH(2)(+)CH(2)-) recognition sites, encircled by [24]crown-8 rings, were prepared by a thermodynamic...
متن کاملAn interdigitated functionally rigid [2]rotaxane.
The synthesis of a functionally rigid [2]rotaxane incorporating pi-electron rich 1,5-disubstituted naphthalene (NP) ring systems, encircled by the pi-electron deficient tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), is described; in the solid state, the molecules of this donor-acceptor [2]rotaxane line themselves up in parallel pi-pi stacks of alternating NP ring systems and bipyridi...
متن کاملSemi - Empirical Study of a pH - Switchable [ 2 ] Rotaxane
Semi-empirical (AM1) electronic structure calculations are reported on a pH-switchable [2] rotaxane whose synthesis was reported in [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 36 (1997) 1904]. The [2] rotaxane possesses two cationic binding sites, with different affinities toward dibenzo [24] crown-8 (the ring component of the [2] rotaxane) depending upon the pH of the system. The computational results capture thi...
متن کاملGraphene–ZnO@SiO2 hybrid: An efficient and solid acid catalyst for synthesis of azlactones under ultrasound irradiation
The central theme of this article is how to explore a novel route to fabricate graphene– ZnO@SiO2 hybrid by a covalent process. The synthesis procedure consists of three-steps: (1) synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles, (2) ZnO nanoparticles modification by tetraethyl orthosilicate and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane after introduction of amino groups on its surface, (3) the covalent attach...
متن کاملInterlocked porphyrin switches.
We describe the synthesis of a series of interlocked structures from porphyrin-glycoluril cage compounds and bis(olefin)-terminated viologens by an olefin-metathesis protocol. The length of the chain connecting the olefin substituents with the viologen has a marked effect on the products of the ring-closure reaction. Long chains give [2]- and [3]catenane structures, whereas short chains give a ...
