Steric Effects of pH Switchable, Substituted (2-pyridinium)urea Organocatalysts: a Solution and Solid Phase Study.

ABSTRACT: The study of hydrogen bonding organocatalysis is rapidly expanding. Much research has been directed at making catalysts more active and selective, with less attention on fundamental design strategies. This study systematically increases steric hindrance at the active site of pH switchable urea organocatalysts. Incorporating strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds from protonated pyridines to oxygen stabilizes the active conformation of these ureas thus reducing the entropic penalty that results from substrate binding. The effect of increasing steric hindrance was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction and by kinetics experiments of a benchmark reaction.

The double solid solution (Zr, Nb)2(Al, Sn)C MAX phase: a steric stability approach.

Project description:The addition of Nb and Sn to Zr2AlC is investigated, targeting the synthesis of a Zr-rich bulk MAX phase free of ZrC. The 211 phase formation in the two quaternary Zr-Nb-Al-C and Zr-Al-Sn-C systems is evaluated. Solubility over the entire compositional range in (Zr, Nb)2AlC and Zr2(Al, Sn)C is observed. In terms of effectiveness, the addition of Sn is preferred over the addition of Nb, as the former is selectively incorporated into the 211 structure. A combinatorial approach results in the formation of phase-pure (Zr0.8, Nb0.2)2(Al0.5, Sn0.5)C. The effect of the added solutes on the microstructure and crystallographic parameters is investigated. The addition of Nb and Sn reduces the distortion parameter of the trigonal prism compared to pure Zr2AlC. Therefore, an attempt is made to establish a more general stability criterion for the M2AC structure based on the steric relationship between the atoms in the M6A trigonal prism. Inspired by the Hume-Rothery rules, it is suggested that comparable atomic radii of the M- and A-atoms provide a good starting point to obtain a stable 211 MAX phase.

A complementary pair of enantioselective switchable organocatalysts.

Project description:A pair of enantioselective switchable bifunctional catalysts are shown to promote a range of conjugate addition reactions in up to 95?:?5 e.r. and 95% conversion. Each catalyst can be switched OFF using conditions that switch the other catalyst ON. Catalyst ON?:?OFF ratios of up to 98?:?2 and 1?:?99 were achieved, with a ratio of reaction rates of up to 16?:?1 between the ON and OFF states, maintained over complete ON-OFF-ON and OFF-ON-OFF cycles. However, simultaneous operation of the catalyst pair in the same reaction vessel, which in principle could allow product handedness to be switched by simple E-Z isomerisation of the catalyst pair, was unsuccessful. In this first generation complementary pair of enantioselective switchable organocatalysts, the OFF state of one catalyst inhibits the ON state of the other.

How Robust Is the Reversible Steric Shielding Strategy for Photoswitchable Organocatalysts?

Project description:A highly appealing strategy to modulate a catalyst's activity and/or selectivity in a dynamic and noninvasive way is to incorporate a photoresponsive unit into a catalytically competent molecule. However, the description of the photoinduced conformational or structural changes that alter the catalyst's intrinsic reactivity is often reduced to a handful of intuitive static representations, which can struggle to capture the complexity of flexible organocatalysts. Here, we show how a comprehensive exploration of the free energy landscape of N-alkylated azobenzene-tethered piperidine catalysts is essential to unravel the conformational characteristics of each configurational state and explain the experimentally observed reactivity trends. Mapping the catalysts' conformational space highlights the existence of false ON or OFF states that lower their switching ability. Our findings expose the challenges associated with the realization of a reversible steric shielding for the photocontrol of Brønsted basicity of piperidine photoswitchable organocatalysts.

Solid-phase synthesis of a thymidinyl dipeptide urea library.

Project description:A thymidinyl dipeptide urea library with structural similarity to the nucleoside peptide class of antibiotics was designed and synthesized. To generate the library, a solid-phase synthesis was developed starting from 5'-azidothymidine attached to a polystyrene butyl diethylsilane (PS-DES) resin support. This study describes the prelibrary solid-phase synthesis development including maximum loading capacity optimization, selection of orthogonal functionalized side-chain protection strategies, synthesis of a 64-member test library, and optimization of the final cleavage step. Using the optimized procedures, we synthesized a 1000-member library in a 50 micromol quantity using IRORI-directed sorting technology in MiniKans, producing the target library in good yields and purity.

Anion-controlled dimer distance induced unique solid-state fluorescence of cyano substituted styrene pyridinium.

Project description:Molecular packing arrangements play a key role in dominating the photophysical properties of luminophores in aggregated state but fine control of the molecular packing is a great challenge. This article describes a unique cyano substituted styrene pyridinium with interesting solid-state fluorescence that can be finely tuned by simple change of counteranions. The dilute solutions of the organic salts (PyCl, PyNO3, PyOTs and PyPh4B) exhibit very weak fluorescence. The crystals of the organic salts (PyCl, PyNO3, and PyOTs) show much enhanced fluorescence compared with their dilute solutions. It is interesting that the emissions changed from bluish-green to deep-blue and fluorescence quantum yields increase from 2.5% to 13.1% with the increasing of steric hindrance of the anions from chloridion, nitrate, to p-toluenesulfonate. Crystal and DFT studies reveal that the enhanced fluorescence is ascribed to the formation of dimers and bigger anions induce larger molecular separation in dimers. Tetraphenylboron anion with very large steric hindrance impedes the formation of dimers and thus results in non-fluorescent salt (PyPh4B). Meanwhile, this unique dimeric packing endows the crystal of PyNO3 with anisotropic fluorescence.

Solid phase versus solution phase synthesis of heterocyclic macrocycles.

Project description:Comparing a solution phase route to a solid phase route in the synthesis of the cytotoxic natural product urukthapelstatin A (Ustat A) confirmed that a solid phase method is superior. The solution phase approach was tedious and involved cyclization of a ridged heterocyclic precursor, while solid phase allowed the rapid generation of a flexible linear peptide. Cyclization of the linear peptide was facile and subsequent generation of three oxazoles located within the structure of Ustat A proved relatively straightforward. Given the ease with which the oxazole Ustat A precursor is formed via our solid phase approach, this route is amenable to rapid analog synthesis.

Solution-phase synthesis of a highly substituted furan library.

Project description:A library of furans has been synthesized by iodocyclization and further diversified by palladium-catalyzed coupling processes. The key intermediate 3-iodofurans have been prepared by the electrophilic iodocyclization of 2-iodo-2-alken-1-ones in the presence of various nucleophiles in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. These 3-iodofurans are the key components for library generation through subsequent elaboration by palladium-catalyzed processes, such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonagashira, Heck, aminocarbonylation, and carboalkoxylation chemistry to afford a diverse set of 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted furans.

Urea-Based [2]Rotaxanes as Effective Phase-Transfer Organocatalysts: Hydrogen-Bonding Cooperative Activation Enabled by the Mechanical Bond.

Project description:We finely designed a set of [2]rotaxanes with urea threads and tested them as hydrogen-bonding phase-transfer catalysts in two different nucleophilic substitutions requiring the activation of the reactant fluoride anion. The [2]rotaxane bearing a fluorinated macrocycle and a fluorine-containing urea thread displayed significantly enhanced catalytic activity in comparison with the combination of both noninterlocked components. This fact highlights the notably beneficial role of the mechanical bond, cooperatively activating the processes through hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Solid-phase synthesis of asymmetrically substituted "AB3-type" phthalocyanines.

Project description:Synthesis of phthalocyanines with asymmetrical substitution on the periphery is often difficult due the problems in purification of the phthalocyanine mixtures obtained. Using a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based support with a Wang-type linker, we have developed the synthesis of monohydroxylated, oligoethylene glycol substituted phthalocyanines utilizing an amidine-base-promoted phthalonitrile tetramerization reaction. The use of a hydrophilic support allows symmetrical phthalocyanine product formed in solution to be readily and completely removed by washing while leaving the "AB3" product on the support. Acid cleavage with 10% trifluoroacetic acid provides the pure unsymmetrically substituted Pc. This method was applied to several metallo Pcs. Additionally, methods to avoid premature reactions on-resin that give A2B2 products are provided.

Thiosquaramides: pH switchable anion transporters.

Project description:The transport of anions across cellular membranes is an important biological function governed by specialised proteins. In recent years, many small molecules have emerged that mimick the anion transport behaviour of these proteins, but only a few of these synthetic molecules also display the gating/switching behaviour seen in biological systems. A small series of thiosquaramides was synthesised and their pH-dependent chloride binding and anion transport behaviour was investigated using 1H NMR titrations, single crystal X-ray diffraction and a variety of vesicle-based techniques. Spectrophotometric titrations and DFT calculations revealed that the thiosquaramides are significantly more acidic than their oxosquaramide analogues, with pKa values between 4.0 and 9.0. This led to the observation that at pH 7.2 the anion transport ability of the thiosquaramides is fully switched OFF due to deprotonation of the receptor, but is completely switched ON at lower pH.
