Active ester functionalized azobenzenes as versatile building blocks
Schultzke, Sven,Staubitz, Anne,Walther, Melanie
, (2021/07/12)
Azobenzenes are important molecular switches that can still be difficult to functionalize selectively. A high yielding Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling method under mild conditions for the introduction of NHS esters to azobenzenes and diazocines has been established. Yields were consistently high with very few exceptions. The NHS functionalized azobenzenes react with primary amines quantitatively. These amines are ubiquitous in biological systems and in material science.

Molecular photoswitches triggered with red or NIR light are optimal for photomodulation of complex biological systems, including efficient penetration of the human body for therapeutic purposes (“therapeutic window”). Yet, they are rarely reported, and ev

Photoswitchable oligonucleotides can determine specific biological outcomes by light-induced conformational changes. In particular, artificial probes activated by visible-light irradiation are highly desired in biological applications. Here, we report two novel types of visible-light photoswitchable peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) based on the molecular transducers: hemithioindigo and tetra-ortho-fluoroazobenzene. Our study reveals that the tetra-ortho-fluoroazobenzene–PNA conjugates have promising properties (fast reversible isomerization, exceptional thermal stability, high isomer conversions and sensitivity to visible-light irradiation) as reversible modulators to control oligonucleotide hybridization in biological contexts. Furthermore, we verified that this switchable modification delivers a slightly different hybridization behavior in the PNA. Thus, both melting experiments and strand-displacement assays showed that in all the cases the trans-isomer is the one with superior binding affinities. Alternative versions, inspired by our first compounds here reported, may find applications in different fields such as chemical biology, nanotechnology and materials science.

Novel azobenzene-based photosensitive mesogens with lactate chiral units were synthesized. In order to modify the rate of the thermal Z-E isomerization of these compounds, small lateral substituents were introduced into their core in the proximity of the azo group. The influence of lateral substitution on the kinetics of the Z-E isomerization, mesomorphic behaviour, and UV-Vis absorption spectra was studied. It was found that the position of the substituents in the azobenzene core significantly affects the rate of their thermal isomerization. The stability of Z-isomers of several studied compounds is comparable to that of compounds with complex molecular structures designed for optical data storage. Although lateral substitution influences the breadth/length ratio of the core, liquid-crystalline properties of the studied materials have been preserved.
O -fluoroazobenzenes as readily synthesized photoswitches offering nearly quantitative two-way isomerization with visible light

Azobenzene functionalized with ortho-fluorine atoms has a lower energy of the n-orbital of the Z-isomer, resulting in a separation of the E and Z isomers' n→π* absorption bands. Introducing para-substituents allows for further tuning of the absorption spe
