Fluorescence response of anthracene modified D-π-A heterocyclic chromophores containing nitrogen atom to mechanical force and acid vapor
Zhan, Yong
, (2020)
Three new 9-vinyl anthracene derivatives functionalized naphthalene (ANNP), quinoline (ANQL) and quinoxaline (ANQX) have been synthesized, and they exhibit excellent solid state luminescence. Optical properties and quantum chemical calculations indicate the absence of D-π-A structure in ANNP, and the presence of typical D-π-A structures in ANQL and ANQX. Though the differences between the three molecules are marginal, their stimuli-responsive behaviors are contrasting. Non-heteroatom-assisted ANNP has no clear chromic property. In contrast, heteroatom-assisted ANQL and ANQX show a clear response to external stimuli such as mechanical force (mechanofluorochromism) and protons (acidofluorochromism). On one hand, both of them exhibit contrasting MFC effects. Upon grinding, emission wavelength shifts are 16 nm and 28 nm, respectively. ANQX shows a large spectral change, which might be originated from nitrogen atom induced ICT process and twisted molecular conformation. On the other hand, two molecules show difference acidofluorochromic response. The presence of nitrogen atom leads to the formation of a stable complex between target molecule and TFA. The solution and film of ANQX achieve a fast response to TFA with high sensitivity and low detection limit. The present results suggest that the anthracene modified D-π-A heterocyclic chromophores containing nitrogen atom can achieve fluorescence response to mechanical forces and acid vapor.

Three analogues of To042, a tocainide-related lead compound recently reported for the treatment of myotonia, were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as skeletal muscle sodium channel blockers possibly endowed with enhanced use-dependent behavior. Patch-clamp experiments on hNav1.4 expressed in HEK293 cells showed that N-[(naphthalen-1-yl)methyl]-4-[(2,6-dimethyl)phenoxy]butan-2-amine, the aryloxyalkyl bioisostere of To042, exerted a higher use-dependent block than To042 thus being able to preferentially block the channels in over-excited membranes while preserving healthy tissue function. It also showed the lowest active transport across BBB according to the results of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) interacting activity evaluation and the highest cytoprotective effect on HeLa cells. Quantum mechanical calculations and dockings gave insights on the most probable conformation of the aryloxyalkyl bioisostere of To042 in solution and the target residues involved in the binding, respectively. Both approaches indicated the conformations that might be adopted in both the unbound and bound state of the ligand. Overall, N-[(naphthalen-1-yl)methyl]-4-[(2,6-dimethyl)phenoxy]butan-2-amine exhibits an interesting toxico-pharmacological profile and deserves further investigation.
PH clock instructed transient supramolecular peptide amphiphile and its vesicular assembly
Dowari, Payel,Das, Saurav,Pramanik, Bapan,Das, Debapratim
, p. 14119 - 14122 (2019/12/02)
A new strategy to construct a transient supramolecular peptide amphiphile (SPA) and its vesicular aggregates is displayed. The construction of the amphiphile is assisted by the ternary complexation of cucurbit[8]uril and pH responsive imine bond formation. The transient assembly follows a pH clock set by urea/urease and hydrolysis of glucono delta-lactone (GdL). The transient assembly can be repeated for several cycles through feeding the system with the fuel (urea).

Three new silver-chalcogenide clusters protected by naphthyl ligands are described in this work, namely [Ag14(SCH2C10H7)6(CF3COO)8(DMAc)6] (1), [Ag30(SCH2C10H7)18(CrO4)2(DMAc)2 (CF3COO)8] (DMAc = dimethylacetamide) (2) and {Ag12(SCH2C10H7)6(CF3COO)4(CH3CN)6(Cr2O7)}n (3). Their crystal structures were studied by X-ray crystallography, and they show hollow-core-shell (1), template-core-shell (2) and 1D infinite (3) structures, respectively. The luminescence properties of cluster 1 were investigated, which showed interesting thermochromic variation from red to bright yellow. Moreover, the chromate ions were proven to act as templates in forming the silver clusters through a series of experiments to prepare compounds 2 and 3, which could be considered as derivatives of cluster 1.
Photodecarboxylation of Substituted Naphthylmethyl Arylacetate Esters: Synthesis of Naphthylarylethanes
Hilborn, James W.,Moya-Barrios, Reinaldo,Thompson, Alison
, p. 11992 - 11999 (2019/10/02)
The synthesis of naphthylarylethanes via the photodecarboxylation of naphthylmethyl arylacetate esters is reported where the aryl group is able to stabilize a charge transfer reaction. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to acceptor, thereby enhancing a pathway to produce, within the solvent cage, the desired diarylethane products. These in-cage naphthylarylethanes are produced in good yields, in a single photochemical step, with the use of cyclohexane as a solvent providing optimal yields.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have been extensively used as a versatile class of catalysts and ligands in organocatalytic and organometallic chemistry. However, there are only a small number of synthetic applications where they act as reagents. Here we demonstrate that NHCs can be used as stoichiometric redox reagents for Appel-type halogenation reactions of alcohols. This new reactivity reveals a fresh and interesting aspect and enriches the chemistry of NHCs in an underexplored area. The potential of performing this chemical transformation at the catalytic level using an NHC-oxide derivative is also investigated.

The versatility of the trityl cation (TrBF4) as a highly efficient Lewis acid organocatalyst is demonstrated in a light induced benzylic brominaion of alkyl-arenes under mild conditions. The reaction was conducted at ambient temperature under common hood light (55 W fluorescent light) with catalyst loadings down to 2.0 mol% using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as the brominating agent. The protocol is applicable to an extensive number of substrates to give benzyl bromides in good to excellent yields. In contrast to most previously reported strategies, this protocol does not require any radical initiator or extensive heating. For electron-rich alkyl-arenes, the trityl ion catalyzed bromination could be easily switched between benzylic sp3 C?H functionalization and arene sp2 C?H functionalization by simply alternating the solvent. This chemoselective switch allows for high substrate control and easy preparation of benzyl bromides and bromoarenes, respectively. The chemoselective switch was also applied in a one-pot reaction of 1-methylnaphthalene for direct introduction of both sp3 C?Br and sp2 C?Br functionality. (Figure presented.).
