Designed synthesis of stable light-emitting two-dimensional sp2 carbon-conjugated covalent organic frameworks.

Project description:Covalent organic frameworks enable the topological connection of organic chromophores into π lattices, making them attractive for creating light-emitting polymers that are predesignable for both the primary- and high-order structures. However, owing to linkages, covalent organic frameworks are either unstable or poor luminescent, leaving the practical synthesis of stable light-emitting frameworks challenging. Here, we report the designed synthesis of sp2 carbon-conjugated frameworks that combine stability with light-emitting activity. The C=C linkages topologically connect pyrene knots and arylyenevinylene linkers into two-dimensional all sp2 carbon lattices that are designed to be π conjugated along both the x and y directions and develop layer structures, creating exceptionally stable frameworks. The resulting frameworks are capable of tuning band gap and emission by the linkers, are highly luminescent under various conditions and can be exfoliated to produce brilliant nanosheets. These results suggest a platform based on sp2 carbon frameworks for designing robust photofunctional materials.

Facile construction of fully sp2-carbon conjugated two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks containing benzobisthiazole units.

Project description:Developing a facile strategy for the construction of vinylene-linked fully π-conjugated covalent organic frameworks (COFs) remains a huge challenge. Here, a versatile condition of Knoevenagel polycondensation for constructing vinylene-linked 2D COFs was explored. Three new examples of vinylene-linked 2D COFs (BTH-1, 2, 3) containing benzobisthiazoles units as functional groups were successfully prepared under this versatile and mild condition. The electron-deficient benzobisthiazole units and cyano-vinylene linkages were both integrated into the π conjugated COFs skeleton and acted as acceptor moieties. Interestingly, we found the construction of a highly ordered and conjugated D-A system is favorable for photocatalytic activity. BTH-3 with benzotrithiophene as the donor with a strong D-A effect exhibited an attractive photocatalytic HER of 15.1 mmol h-1g-1 under visible light irradiation.

Conformationally Controlled sp3 -Hydrocarbon-Based α-Helix Mimetics.

Project description:With over 60 % of protein-protein interfaces featuring an α-helix, the use of α-helix mimetics as inhibitors of these interactions is a prevalent therapeutic strategy. However, methods to control the conformation of mimetics, thus enabling maximum efficacy, can be restrictive. Alternatively, conformation can be controlled through the introduction of destabilizing syn-pentane interactions. This tactic, which is often adopted by Nature, is not a common feature of lead optimization owing to the significant synthetic effort required. Through assembly-line synthesis with NMR and computational analysis, we have shown that alternating syn-anti configured contiguously substituted hydrocarbons, by avoiding syn-pentane interactions, adopt well-defined conformations that present functional groups in an arrangement that mimics the α-helix. The design of a p53 mimetic that binds to Mdm2 with moderate to good affinity, demonstrates the therapeutic promise of these scaffolds.

Structure transformation by sp2 hydrocarbon assisted carbon nanotube growth.

Project description:In this study, we investigated the effect of hydrocarbon species composition on carbon nanotube (CNT) growth using an iron catalyst by chemical vapor deposition. The atomic hydrogen and active carbon species from hydrocarbon affect to the nucleation and growth of CNT arrays. With increasing atomic hydrogen content, the interface layer distance of the CNTs decreased from 3.7 to 3.4 Å. The shifts in the G-band in the Raman spectra of the CNTs indicated that the hydrogen atoms affected the generation of C-C bonds in graphene layers.

Chiral Aniline Synthesis via Stereospecific C(sp3)-C(sp2) Coupling of Boronic Esters with Aryl Hydrazines.

Project description:An enantiospecific coupling between alkylboronic esters and lithiated aryl hydrazines is described. The reaction proceeds under transition-metal-free conditions and is promoted by acylation of a hydrazinyl arylboronate complex, which triggers a N-N bond cleavage with concomitant 1,2-metalate rearrangement. Judicious choice of the acylating agent enabled the synthesis of ortho- and para-substituted anilines with essentially complete enantiospecificity from a wide range of boronic ester substrates.

Contorted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Two Embedded Azulene Units.

Project description:Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that contain both five- and seven-membered rings are rare, and those where these rings are annulated to each other and build azulene units have, to date, mainly been generated in minute amounts on surfaces. Herein, a rational approach to synthesize soluble contorted PAHs containing two embedded azulene units in the bulk is presented. By stepwise detachment of tert-butyl groups, a series of three azulene embedded PAHs with different degrees of contortion has been made to study the impact of curvature on aromaticity and conjugation. Furthermore, the azulene PAHs showed high fluorescence quantum yields in the NIR regime.

Intramolecular cascade annulation triggered by rhodium(III)-catalyzed sequential C(sp2)-H activation and C(sp3)-H amination.

Project description:A rhodium(III)-catalyzed intramolecular oxidative annulation of O-substituted N-hydroxyacrylamides for the construction of indolizinones via sequential C(sp2)-H activation and C(sp3)-H amination has been developed. This approach shows excellent functional-group tolerance. The synthesized scaffold forms the core of many natural products with pharmacological relevance.

Oxodealkenylative Cleavage of Alkene C(sp3 )-C(sp2 ) Bonds: A Practical Method for Introducing Carbonyls into Chiral Pool Materials.

Project description:Reported herein is a one-pot protocol for the oxodealkenylative introduction of carbonyl functionalities into terpenes and terpene-derived compounds. This transformation proceeds by Criegee ozonolysis of an alkene, reductive cleavage of the resulting α-alkoxy hydroperoxide, trapping of the generated alkyl radical with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl (TEMPO), and subsequent oxidative fragmentation with MMPP. Using readily available starting materials from chiral pool, a variety of carbonyl-containing products have been accessed rapidly in good yields.

Chiral Diaryliodonium Phosphate Enables Light Driven Diastereoselective α-C(sp3)-H Acetalization.

Project description:C(sp3)-H bond functionalization has emerged as a robust tool enabling rapid construction of molecular complexity from simple building blocks, and the development of asymmetric versions of this reaction creates a powerful methodology to access enantiopure sp3-rich materials. Herein, we report the stereoselective functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds of cyclic ethers employing a photochemically active diaryliodonium salt in combination with an anionic phase-transfer catalyst. The synthetic strategy outlined herein allows for regio- and stereochemical control in the α-C-H acetalization of furans and pyrans using alcohol nucleophiles, thus providing the ability to control the configuration at the stereogenic exocyclic acetal carbon.

Biocatalytic Construction of Chiral Pyrrolidines and Indolines via Intramolecular C(sp3)-H Amination.

Project description:Nature harnesses exquisite enzymatic cascades to construct N-heterocycles and further uses these building blocks to assemble the molecules of life. Here we report an enzymatic platform to construct important chiral N-heterocyclic products, pyrrolidines and indolines, via abiological intramolecular C(sp3)-H amination of organic azides. Directed evolution of cytochrome P411 (a P450 enzyme with serine as the heme-ligating residue) yielded variant P411-PYS-5149, capable of catalyzing the insertion of alkyl nitrene into C(sp3)-H bonds to build pyrrolidine derivatives with good enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency. Further evolution of activity on aryl azide substrates yielded variant P411-INS-5151 that catalyzes intramolecular C(sp3)-H amination to afford chiral indolines. In addition, we show that these enzymatic aminations can be coupled with a P411-based carbene transferase or a tryptophan synthase to generate an α-amino lactone or a noncanonical amino acid, respectively, underscoring the power of new-to-nature biocatalysis in complexity-building chemical synthesis.
