Heterofunctionalized Cavitands by Macrocyclization of Sequence-Defined Foldamers.

ABSTRACT: Macrocyclic hosts have long been the workhorses of molecular recognition. Despite the widespread use of container-shaped molecules as synthetic receptors, an efficient preparation of cavitands bearing multiple functional groups has not been realized. This Letter describes a new cavitand derived from a sequence-defined oligoamide foldamer scaffold. A solid-phase synthesis approach is reported, which enables the display of multiple chemically diverse functional groups on the cavitand rim.

Sequence-defined oligo(<i>ortho</i>-arylene) foldamers derived from the benzannulation of <i>ortho</i>(arylene ethynylene)s.

Project description:A Cu-catalyzed benzannulation reaction transforms ortho(arylene ethynylene) oligomers into ortho-arylenes. This approach circumvents iterative Suzuki cross-coupling reactions previously used to assemble hindered ortho-arylene backbones. These derivatives form helical folded structures in the solid-state and in solution, as demonstrated by X-ray crystallography and solution-state NMR analysis. DFT calculations of misfolded conformations are correlated with variable-temperature 1H and EXSY NMR to reveal that folding is cooperative and more favorable in halide-substituted naphthalenes. Helical ortho-arylene foldamers with specific aromatic sequences organize functional π-electron systems into arrangements ideal for ambipolar charge transport and show preliminary promise for the surface-mediated synthesis of structurally defined graphene nanoribbons.

Fluorinated Tetraphosphonate Cavitands.

Project description:Two synthetic protocols for the introduction of fluorine atoms into resorcinarene-based cavitands, at the lower and upper rim, respectively, are reported. Cavitand 1, bearing four fluorocarbon tails, and cavitand 2, which presents a fluorine atom on the para position of a diester phosphonate phenyl substituent, were synthesized and their complexation abilities toward the model guest sarcosine methyl ester hydrochloride were evaluated via NMR titration experiments. The effect of complexation on the 19F NMR resonance of the probe is evident only in the case of cavitand 2, where the inset of the cation-dipole and H-bonding interactions between the P=O bridges and the guest is reflected in a sizable downfield shift of the fluorine probe.

Cavitands with mobile walls.

Project description:Deep cavitands having three fixed walls and one mobile wall were prepared. The longer wall, built from a quinoxaline spacer, showed enhanced NMR spectra of guests, but the shorter wall based on a benzene spacer showed tighter binding and slower exchange of guests.

Recognition with metallo cavitands.

Project description:We describe here the effects of metal complexation on the molecular recognition behavior of cavitands with quinoxaline walls. The nitrogen atoms of the quinoxalines are near the upper rim of the vase-like shape and treatment with Pd(II) gave 2:1 metal:cavitand derivatives. Characterization by 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, HR ESI-MS, and computations showed that the metals bridged adjacent quinoxaline panels and gave cavitands with C2v symmetry. Both water-soluble and organic-soluble versions were prepared and their host/guest complexes with alkanes, alcohols, acids, and diols (up to C12) were studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Analysis of the binding behavior indicated that the metals rigidified the walls of the receptive vase conformation and enhanced the binding of hydrophobic and even water-soluble guests, compared to related cavitands reported previously. The results demonstrated that the conformational dynamics of the cavitand were slowed by the coordination of Pd(II) and stabilized the host's complexes.

Sequence-defined antibody-recruiting macromolecules.

Project description:Antibody-recruiting molecules represent a novel class of therapeutic agents that mediate the recruitment of endogenous antibodies to target cells, leading to their elimination by the immune system. Compared to single-ligand copies, macromolecular scaffolds presenting multiple copies of an antibody-binding ligand offer advantages in terms of increased complex avidity. In this study, we describe the synthesis of sequence-defined macromolecules designed for antibody recruitment, utilising dinitrophenol (DNP) as a model antibody-recruiting motif. The use of discrete macromolecules gives access to varying the spacing between DNP motifs while maintaining the same chain length. This characteristic enables the investigation of structure-dependent binding interactions with anti-DNP antibodies. Through solid-phase thiolactone chemistry, we synthesised a series of oligomers with precisely localised DNP motifs along the backbone and a terminal biotin motif for surface immobilisation. Utilising biolayer interferometry analysis, we observed that oligomers with adjacent DNP motifs exhibited enhanced avidity for anti-DNP antibodies. Molecular modelling provided insights into the structures and dynamics of the various macromolecules, shedding light on the accessibility of the ligands to the antibodies. Overall, our findings highlight that the use of sequence-defined macromolecules can contribute to our understanding of structure-activity relationships and provide insights for the design of novel antibody-recruiting therapeutic agents.

Megalo-Cavitands: Synthesis of Acridane[4]arenes and Formation of Large, Deep Cavitands for Selective C70 Uptake.

Project description:Deep cavitands, concave molecular containers, represent an important supramolecular host class that has been explored for a variety of applications ranging from sensing, switching, purification and adsorption to catalysis. A major limitation in the field has been the cavitand volume that is restricted by the size of the structural platform utilized (diameter approx. 7 Å). We here report the synthesis of a novel, unprecedentedly large structural platform, named acridane[4]arene (diameter approx. 14 Å), suitable for the construction of cavitands with volumes of up to 814 Å3 . These megalo-cavitands serve as size-selective hosts for fullerenes with mM to sub-μM binding affinity for C60 and C70 . Furthermore, the selective binding of fullerene C70 in the presence of C60 was demonstrated.
