Synthesis of spiro quasi[1]catenanes and quasi[1]rotaxanes via a templated backfolding strategy.

ABSTRACT: Due to their well-defined three-dimensional geometry, spiro compounds are widely utilized in drug research. From the central tetrahedral carbon atom, besides the regular structure, an inverted spiro connectivity may be envisioned. Here we disclose the synthesis of this molecule class that we have coined quasi[1]catenanes. Next to their fascinating and aesthetic shape, the higher compactness as compared to regular spiro bicycles is noteworthy. To enable synthetic access to compact entangled multimacrocyclic molecules, we have developed a new strategy. The key element is a template, which is covalently connected to the linear precursors, and spatially directs the sterically congested backfolding macrocyclizations that are required to give quasi[1]catenanes. Similarly, quasi[1]rotaxanes are made.

Nitrite-templated synthesis of lanthanide-containing [2]rotaxanes for anion sensing.

Project description:The first anion-templated synthesis of a lanthanide-containing interlocked molecule is demonstrated by utilizing a nitrite anion to template initial pseudorotaxane formation. Subsequent stoppering of the interpenetrated assembly allows for the preparation of a lanthanide-functionalized [2]rotaxane in high yield. Following removal of the nitrite anion template, the europium [2]rotaxane host is demonstrated to recognize and sense fluoride selectively.

Diastereoselective synthesis of [1]rotaxanes <i>via</i> an active metal template strategy.

Project description:Despite the impressive number of interlocked molecules described in the literature over the past 30 years, only a few stereoselective syntheses of mechanically chiral rotaxanes have been reported so far. In this study, we present the first diastereoselective synthesis of mechanically planar chiral [1]rotaxanes, that has been achieved using the active template Cu-mediated alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction. This synthetic method has been applied to the preparation of a [1]rotaxane bearing a labile stopper that can then be substituted without disruption of the mechanical bond. This approach paves the way for the synthesis of a wide variety of mechanically planar chiral [1]rotaxanes, hence allowing the study of the properties and potential applications of this class of interlocked molecular architectures.

Mechanically axially chiral catenanes and noncanonical mechanically axially chiral rotaxanes.

Project description:Chirality typically arises in molecules because of a rigidly chiral arrangement of covalently bonded atoms. Less generally appreciated is that chirality can arise when molecules are threaded through one another to create a mechanical bond. For example, when two macrocycles with chemically distinct faces are joined to form a catenane, the structure is chiral, although the rings themselves are not. However, enantiopure mechanically axially chiral catenanes in which the mechanical bond provides the sole source of stereochemistry have not been reported. Here we re-examine the symmetry properties of these molecules and in doing so identify a straightforward route to access them from simple chiral building blocks. Our analysis also led us to identify an analogous but previously unremarked upon rotaxane stereogenic unit, which also yielded to our co-conformational auxiliary approach. With methods to access mechanically axially chiral molecules in hand, their properties and applications can now be explored.

Alternative demetalation method for Cu(I)-phenanthroline-based catenanes and rotaxanes.

Project description:A new and less hazardous procedure for demetalation of Cu(I)-phenanthroline-based interlocked molecules, using aqueous NH(4)OH rather than toxic KCN, has been developed. The conditions are compatible with materials containing nucleophile-sensitive appended groups such as C(60), and coordinating moieties such as zinc(II)-porphyrins.

Facile syntheses of [3]-, [4]- and [6]catenanes templated by orthogonal supramolecular interactions.

Project description:A water soluble [6]catenane consisting of two interlocking [3]catenanes was synthesised in 91% yield using readily accessible precursors. The new strategy features the simultaneous use of orthogonal Cu+-phenanthroline and CB[6]-ammonium interactions for preorganising the precursors and the efficient CB[6]-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition as bond forming reactions for ring closing, resulting in high structural complexity and fidelity of the products without compromising interlocking efficiency. A related [4]catenane with three different types of macrocycles was also obtained in good yield.

A chiral interlocking auxiliary strategy for the synthesis of mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes.

Project description:Rotaxanes can display molecular chirality solely due to the mechanical bond between the axle and encircling macrocycle without the presence of covalent stereogenic units. However, the synthesis of such molecules remains challenging. We have discovered a combination of reaction partners that function as a chiral interlocking auxiliary to both orientate a macrocycle and, effectively, load it onto a new axle. Here we use these substrates to demonstrate the potential of a chiral interlocking auxiliary strategy for the synthesis of mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes by producing a range of examples with high enantiopurity (93-99% e.e.), including so-called 'impossible' rotaxanes whose axles lack any functional groups that would allow their direct synthesis by other means. Intriguingly, by varying the order of bond-forming steps, we can effectively choose which end of an axle the macrocycle is loaded onto, enabling the synthesis of both hands of a single target using the same reactions and building blocks.

Polymer tube nanoreactors via DNA-origami templated synthesis.

Project description:We describe the stepwise synthesis of precise polymeric objects programmed by a 3D DNA tube transformed from a common 2D DNA tile as a precise biotemplate for atom transfer radical polymerization.

A sequential strand-displacement strategy enables efficient six-step DNA-templated synthesis.

Project description:We developed a sequential strand-displacement strategy for multistep DNA-templated synthesis (DTS) and used it to mediate an efficient six-step DTS that proceeded in 35% overall yield (83% average yield per step). The efficiency of this approach and the fact that the final product remains linked to a DNA sequence that fully encodes its reaction history suggests its utility for the translation of DNA sequences into high-complexity synthetic libraries suitable for in vitro selection.

Efficient Multicomponent Active Template Synthesis of Catenanes.

Project description:We describe a simple and high yielding active template synthesis of [2]catenanes. In addition to mechanical bond formation using a single premacrocycle bearing an azide and alkyne moiety, our method is also suitable for the co-macrocyclization of readily available bis-alkyne and bis-azide comonomers and even short alkyne/azide components which oligomerize prior to mechanical bond formation.

Single-Step Enantioselective Synthesis of Mechanically Planar Chiral [2]Rotaxanes Using a Chiral Leaving Group Strategy.

Project description:We report a one-step enantioselective synthesis of mechanically planar chiral [2]rotaxanes. Previous studies of such molecules have generally involved the separation of enantiomers from racemic mixtures or the preparation and separation of diastereomeric intermediates followed by post-assembly modification to remove other sources of chirality. Here, we demonstrate a simple asymmetric metal-free active template rotaxane synthesis using a primary amine, an activated ester with a chiral leaving group, and an achiral crown ether lacking rotational symmetry. Mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes are obtained directly in up to 50% enantiomeric excess. The rotaxanes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, chiral HPLC, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and circular dichroism. Either rotaxane enantiomer could be prepared selectively by incorporating pseudoenantiomeric cinchona alkaloids into the chiral leaving group.
