Generating System-Level Responses from a Network of Simple Synthetic Replicators

The creation of reaction networks capable of exhibiting responses that are properties of entire systems represents a significant challenge for the chemical sciences. The system-level behavior of a reaction network is linked intrinsically to its topology and the functional connections between its nodes. A simple network of chemical reactions constructed from four reagents, in which each reagent reacts with exactly two others, can exhibit up-regulation of two products even when only a single chemical reaction is addressed catalytically. We implement a system with this topology using two maleimides and two nitrones of different sizes - either short or long and each bearing complementary recognition sites - that react pairwise through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions to create a network of four length-segregated replicating templates. Comprehensive 1H NMR spectroscopy experiments unravel the network topology, confirming that, in isolation, three out of four templates self-replicate, with the shortest template exhibiting the highest efficiency. The strongest template effects within the network are the mutually cross-catalytic relationships between the two templates of intermediate size. The network topology is such that the addition of different preformed templates as instructions to a mixture of all starting materials elicits system-level behavior. Instruction with a single template up-regulates the formation of two templates in a predictable manner. These results demonstrate that the rules governing system-level behavior can be unraveled through the application of wholly synthetic networks with well-defined chemistries and interactions.

Polystyrene stabilized Iridium (Ir@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) as a heterogeneous catalyst have been developed and characterized by IR, UV–Vis, SEM, TEM, EDX and XRD studies. The prepared Ir@PS catalyst showed excellent reactivity for chemo- and regio-selective controlled-hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes to corresponding N-arylhydroxylamine using hydrazine hydrate as reducing source and environmentally benign polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as green solvent. The present methodology was applied for vast substrate scope and found to be compatible with wide range of reducible functional groups. The reaction performed at 85 °C or ambient temperature and completed within 5–80 minutes. The catalyst can easily be filtered out from reaction mixture and reusable.

A practical synthetic method has been developed for polyfunctionalized biaryls based on a facile one-pot nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction and [5,5]- or [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction cascade. Under mild basic conditions, N-arylhydroxylamines reacted with o-activated fluoro (het)arenes to form N,O-diarylhydroxylamine intermediates which underwent spontaneously selective [5,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction to produce diverse functionalized 4-amino-4′-hydroxy-1,1′-biaryls. A sequential SNAr reaction and [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement took place between N-arylhydroxylamines and 2-fluoropyridine derivatives or 4-fluorobenzonitrile to afford functionalized 2-amino-2′-hydroxy-1,1′-biaryls. As invaluable and unique building blocks, the resulting biaryls were applied in the straightforward synthesis of N2,O2-coronarene, carbazole, aza- and diaza carbazole derivatives.
