Iodocyclization in Aqueous Media and Supramolecular Reaction Control Using Water-Soluble Hosts.

ABSTRACT: Iodocyclization of 2-alkynylanisoles is an efficient route for synthesizing substituted benzofurans. Reaction efficiency with copper(II) sulfate and sodium iodide in an aqueous slurry under mild conditions is a manifold higher than in organic solvents. Water-soluble hosts of the cyclodextrin family solubilize the compounds in aqueous media and affect the reaction efficiency through conformation control and steric interactions. Computational chemistry and spectral titration provide information on the host-guest complex structure and insight into the mechanistic basis of the observed effects.

Thermodynamics of Supramolecular Associations with Macrocyclic Water-Soluble Hosts.

Project description:The thermodynamic study of the complexation of the ?-cyclodextrins and p-sulfonatocalix[n]arenes (CnS) with the 4-aminoazobenzene was reported and was carried out by molecular dynamics simulations. We determined the whole thermodynamic properties (K, ?r G°, ?r H°, and T?r S°) using the potential of mean force (PMF) technique and more precisely the adaptive biasing force method. Depending on both the nature of the host molecule and the pH of the solution, the PMF profiles present different shapes and energy minima. Considering the complexity of these PMF profiles, we are also interested in the structural properties of these associations. Hence, we calculated hydrogen bonds, Lennard-Jones and electrostatic energies, the number of atoms of the guest molecule inserted inside the cagelike host molecule, and the number of water molecules expelled from the cavity.

Synthesis of water-soluble surfactants using catalysed condensation polymerisation in green reaction media.

Project description:Sustainable and biobased surfactants are required for a wide range of everyday applications. Key drivers are cost, activity and efficiency of production. Polycondensation is an excellent route to build surfactant chains from bio-sourced monomers, but this typically requires high processing temperatures (≥200 °C) to remove the condensate and to lower viscosity of the polymer melt. In addition, high temperatures also increase the degree of branching and cause discolouration through the degradation of sensitive co-initiators and monomers. Here we report the synthesis of novel surface-active polymers from temperature sensitive renewable building blocks such as dicarboxylic acids, polyols (d-sorbitol) and fatty acids. We demonstrate that the products have the potential to be key components in renewable surfactant design, but only if the syntheses are optimised to ensure linear chains with hydrophilic character. The choice of catalyst is key to this control and we have assessed three different approaches. Additionally, we also demonstrate that use of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) can dramatically improve conversion by reducing reaction viscosity, lowering reaction temperature, and driving condensate removal. We also evaluate the performance of the new biobased surfactants, focussing upon surface tension, and critical micelle concentration.

Interactions between 4-thiothymidine and water-soluble cyclodextrins: Evidence for supramolecular structures in aqueous solutions.

Project description:Since several years the inclusion of organic compounds (guests) within the hydrophobic cavity (host) of cyclodextrins (CDs) has been the subject of many investigations. Interestingly, the formation of inclusion complexes could affect the properties of the guest molecules and, for example, the influence of the delivery system can be a method to improve/change the photochemical behavior of the guest. In particular, very recent studies have shown the protective role of CDs preventing the degradation of the encapsulated guest. Starting from this consideration, in this work, only the structure and complexation mode of the inclusion complexes involving 4-thiothymidine (S(4)TdR, a known photosensitizer) and five CDs, namely 2-hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (2-HP-α-CD), 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD), 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (2-HP-γ-CD), heptakis-(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DIMEB CD) and heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TRIMEB CD) were investigated by different spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis, FTIR-ATR, (1)H NMR) and cyclic voltammetry analysis (CV). This work is necessary for a prospective research on the photoreactivity of S(4)TdR in aqueous environment and in the presence of CDs to prevent its degradation under irradiation. UV-vis, FTIR-ATR and CV measurements suggested the formation of supramolecular structures involving the employed CDs and mainly the pyrimidine ring of S(4)TdR. (1)H NMR analyses confirmed such indication, unveiling the presence of inclusion complexes. The strongest and deepest interactions were suggested when TRIMEB and DIMEB CDs were studied. The S(4)TdR affinity towards CDs was also evaluated by using the Benesi-Hildebrand (B-H) equation at 25 °C employing CV and (1)H NMR methods. The stoichiometry of the interaction was also inferred and it appears to be 1:1 for all examined CDs.

Pathway and Length Control of Supramolecular Polymers in Aqueous Media via a Hydrogen Bonding Lock.

Project description:Programming the organization of ?-conjugated systems into nanostructures of defined dimensions is a requirement for the preparation of functional materials. Herein, we have achieved high-precision control over the self-assembly pathways and fiber length of an amphiphilic BODIPY dye in aqueous media by exploiting a programmable hydrogen bonding lock. The presence of a (2-hydroxyethyl)amide group in the target BODIPY enables different types of intra- vs. intermolecular hydrogen bonding, leading to a competition between kinetically controlled discoidal H-type aggregates and thermodynamically controlled 1D J-type fibers in water. The high stability of the kinetic state, which is dominated by the hydrophobic effect, is reflected in the slow transformation to the thermodynamic product (several weeks at room temperature). However, this lag time can be suppressed by the addition of seeds from the thermodynamic species, enabling us to obtain supramolecular polymers of tuneable length in water for multiple cycles.

Unveiling Polymerization Mechanism in pH-regulated Supramolecular Fibers in Aqueous Media.

Project description:An amine functionalized C3 -symmetric benzotrithiophene (BTT) monomer has been designed and synthetized in order to form pH responsive one-dimensional supramolecular polymers in aqueous media. While most of the reported studies looked at the effect of pH on the size of the aggregates, herein, a detailed mechanistic study is reported, carried out upon modifying the pH to trigger the formation of positively charged ammonium groups. A dramatic and reversible change in the polymerization mechanism and size of the supramolecular fibers is observed and ascribed to the combination of Coulombic repulsive forces and higher monomer solubility. Furthermore, the induced frustrated growth of the fibers is further employed to finely control the one-dimensional supramolecular polymerisation and copolymerization processes.

Reaction of 1-propanol with Ozone in Aqueous Media.

Project description:The main aim of this work is to substantiate the mechanism of 1-propanol oxidation by ozone in aqueous solution when the substrate is present in large excess. Further goals are assessment of the products, their formation yields as well as the kinetic parameters of the considered reaction. The reaction of ozone with 1-propanol in aqueous solution occurs via hydride transfer, H-abstraction and insertion. Of these three mechanisms, the largest share is for hydride transfer. This implies the extraction of an hydride ion from the activated C-H group by O3 according to reaction: (C2H5)(H)(HO)C-H + O3 ? [(C2H5)(H)(HO)C+ + HO3-]cage ? (C2H5)(H)(HO)C+ + HO3-. The experimentally determined products and their overall formation yields with respect to ozone are: propionaldehyde-(60 ± 3)%, propionic acid-(27.4 ± 1.0)%, acetaldehyde-(4.9 ± 0.3)%, acetic acid-(0.3 ± 0.1)%, formaldehyde-(1.0 ± 0.1)%, formic acid-(4.6 ± 0.3)%, hydrogen peroxide-(11.1 ± 0.3)% and hydroxyl radical-(9.8 ± 0.3)%. The reaction of ozone with 1-propanol in aqueous media follows a second order kinetics with a reaction rate constant of (0.64 ± 0.02) M-1·s-1 at pH = 7 and 23 °C. The dependence of the second order rate constant on temperature is described by the equation: l n   k I I = ( 27.17 ± 0.38 ) - ( 8180 ± 120 ) × T - 1 , which gives the activation energy, Ea = (68 ± 1) kJ mol-1 and pre-exponential factor, A = (6.3 ± 2.4) × 1011 M-1 s-1. The nature of products, their yields and the kinetic data can be used in water treatment. The fact that the hydride transfer is the main pathway in the 1-propanol/ozone system can probably be transferred on other systems in which the substrate is characterized by C-H active sites only.

Aqueous NMR Signal Enhancement by Reversible Exchange in a Single Step Using Water-Soluble Catalysts.

Project description:Two synthetic strategies are investigated for the preparation of water-soluble iridium-based catalysts for NMR signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE). In one approach, PEGylation of a variant N-heterocyclic carbene provided a novel catalyst with excellent water solubility. However, while SABRE-active in ethanol solutions, the catalyst lost activity in >50% water. In a second approach, synthesis of a novel di-iridium complex precursor where the cyclooctadiene (COD) rings have been replaced by CODDA (1,2-dihydroxy-3,7-cyclooctadiene) leads to the creation of a catalyst [IrCl(CODDA)IMes] that can be dissolved and activated in water-enabling aqueous SABRE in a single step, without need for either an organic cosolvent or solvent removal followed by aqueous reconstitution. The potential utility of the CODDA catalyst for aqueous SABRE is demonstrated with the ∼(-)32-fold enhancement of 1H signals of pyridine in water with only 1 atm of parahydrogen.

Formation and shape-control of hierarchical cobalt nanostructures using quaternary ammonium salts in aqueous media.

Project description:Aggregation and self-assembly are influenced by molecular interactions. With precise control of molecular interactions, in this study, a wide range of nanostructures ranging from zero-dimensional nanospheres to hierarchical nanoplates and spindles have been successfully synthesized at ambient temperature in aqueous solution. The nanostructures reported here are formed by aggregation of spherical seed particles (monomers) in presence of quaternary ammonium salts. Hydroxide ions and a magnetic moment of the monomers are essential to induce shape anisotropy in the nanostructures. The cobalt nanoplates are studied in detail, and a growth mechanism based on collision, aggregation, and crystal consolidation is proposed based on a electron microscopy studies. The growth mechanism is generalized for rods, spindles, and nearly spherical nanostructures, obtained by varying the cation group in the quaternary ammonium hydroxides. Electron diffraction shows different predominant lattice planes on the edge and on the surface of a nanoplate. The study explains, hereto unaddressed, the temporal evolution of complex magnetic nanostructures. These ferromagnetic nanostructures represent an interesting combination of shape anisotropy and magnetic characteristics.

Binding Properties and Supramolecular Polymerization of a Water-Soluble Resorcin[4]arene.

Project description:Controlling the self-assembly of molecules in water is difficult because the small size, polarity, and hydrogen bond donating and accepting properties of water attenuate most non-covalent interactions. Here we describe how resorcinarene 1, with pyridinium pendent groups, assembles in water to form head-to-tail assemblies. These small supramolecular polymers form because they offer greater stabilization than any latent head-to-head assembly of resorcinarenes to form dimeric (or hexameric) containers. Instead, the resorcinarene bowl - particularly if negatively charged - is a good host for the pyridinium pendent groups of a second resorcinarene. Alternatively, resorcinarene 1 is also a good host for complexing anions and cations of any added salt. In combination therefore, host 1 possesses a rich repertoire of supramolecular properties that is dependent on the ionic strength and the nature of salts, pH, and the concentration of the host. These findings provide new information about controlling the self-assembly of resorcinarenes in water.

Consequences of chirality on the dynamics of a water-soluble supramolecular polymer.

Project description:The rational design of supramolecular polymers in water is imperative for their widespread use, but the design principles for these systems are not well understood. Herein, we employ a multi-scale (spatial and temporal) approach to differentiate two analogous water-soluble supramolecular polymers: one with and one without a stereogenic methyl. Initially aiming simply to understand the molecular behaviour of these systems in water, we find that while the fibres may look identical, the introduction of homochirality imparts a higher level of internal order to the supramolecular polymer. Although this increased order does not seem to affect the basic dimensions of the supramolecular fibres, the equilibrium dynamics of the polymers differ by almost an order of magnitude. This report represents the first observation of a structure/property relationship with regard to equilibrium dynamics in water-soluble supramolecular polymers.
