Photofragmentation in linked donor-acceptor molecules. Intramolecular single electron transfer induced cleavage of a 1,2-diamine

Two intramolecular donor-acceptor molecules which fragment by a single electron transfer initiated cation radical carbon-carbon bond cleavage have been synthesized and their photoreactivity studied. The intramolecular "diads" consist of a 1,2- diamine linked via an ester bond to either an anthraquinone or a 9,10 dicyanoanthracene electron-acceptor chromophore. As the covalent linkage between the donor and acceptor chromophores prevents solvent separation of the photogenerated radical ion pair, these systems provide a "clock" to examine directly competition between fragmentation and back electron transfer. The linked anthraquinone molecule fragments efficiently, with quantum yields approaching 80%, despite the inability of the photoproduced radical ions to separate. These high yields may be attributed to a slow, spin-forbidden back electron transfer and a rapid fragmentation. In contrast, the quantum yields for the dicyanoanthracene diad (reactive singlet) are markedly lower, less than 0.001 in benzene. The reactivity of comparable intermolecular donor-acceptor combinations is also reported.

Besides the adducts from lithium amides to aromatic aldehydes, iminium salts, aminals, and N-silylimines of aromatic aldehydes are coupled by the black suspension obtained from TiCl4 and Mg turnings in tetrahydrofuran (THF).The 1,2-diarylethylenediamines with tertiary and primary amino groups thus obtained are formed with no or only moderate diastereoselectivity (products 4a-d (Scheme 2) and 5a-e (Scheme 3), respectively); the amine component may contain a strained ring or additional heteroatoms as in azetidin, bis(2-metoxyethyl)amine piperazine, morpholine, and thiomorpholine (products 6a-e; Table 1).By an in-situ procedure, ethylenediamines and propane-1,3-diamines with two secondary amino groups are cyclized with aromatic aldehydes to give exclusively trans-diaryl-substituted piperazine and perhydro-1,4-diazepine derivatives (products 7a-f; Table 2).Enantiomerically pure monocyclic trans,cis-5-alkyl-2,3-diaryl-piperazines and diazabicyclononanes and -decanes are obtained by employing suitable diamines prepared from the amino acids (S)-alanine, (S)-phenylalanine, (S)-proline, and from (S,S)- or (R,R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine, respectively (products 11a-i, 7e; Table 4).The configurations of all products are derived from the high-field NMR spectra, some of which are discussed in detail (Figs. 1 and 2, Tables 3 and 5); all new compounds are fully characterized by their physical data.Depending upon the structure of the components employed, the yields of purified products range from as low as 7percent to essentially quantitative.
