, p. 89 - 96 (2016)
A series of pyrroles functionalized in the 3-position with p-dimethoxy benzene via various linkers (CH2, CH2CH2, CH=CH, C=C) has been synthesized. Their electronic properties have been deduced from 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and UV-vis spectra to detect possible interactions between the two aromatic subunits. The extent of conjugation between the subunits is largely controlled by the nature of the linker, with the largest conjugation found with the tmns-ethene linker and the weakest with the aliphatic linkers. DFT calculations revealed substantial changes in the HOMO-LUMO gap that correlated with the extent of conjugation found experimentally. The results of this work are expected to open up for use of the investigated compounds as components of redox-active materials in sustainable, organic electrical energy storage devices.

Ball milling of calcium carbide (CaC2) enables the reaction of its ethynyl moiety with organic electrophiles. This was realized simply by co-milling CaC2 with organic substrates in a sealed jar without the need for an additive or a catalyst. Various ketones including those bearing α-hydrogens were ethynylated in good yields at short reaction times. Aryl halides are also amenable substrates for this protocol as they furnish aryl ethynes through a benzyne intermediate. This method offers a practical and cheap alternative to the established procedures for introducing ethynyl functionalities.

Two well known synthetic organic reactions Ramirez olefination and Corey-fuchs reactions are integrated in one-pot sequential manner for the synthesis of arylacetylenes and 1,3-enynes starting directly from commercially available aldehydes. The bicyclic amidine 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) along with additive NaOH not only exclusively afforded the terminal alkynes directly from the aldehydes, but also enhanced the reaction rate. The dynamic nature of DBU also facilitated the isolation of 1-bromoalkynes intermediate products. Selection of additive from NaOH and H2O served as a switch for the synthesis of terminal alkyne and 1-bromoalkynes, respectively. (Figure presented.).

Chemical Equation Represented A simple, straightforward strategy for the synthesis of polyheterocyclic compounds (PHCs) is reported, which involves iterative cycles of palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling, followed by iodocyclization using I2 or ICI. A variety of heterocyclic units, including benzofurans, benzothiophenes, indoles, and isocoumarins, can be efficiently incorporated under mild reaction conditions. In addition, variations of this strategy afford a variety of linked and fused PHCs.

Lavendustin-mimetic small molecules modifying the linker -CH 2-NH- with an 1,2,3-triazole ring have been synthesized via a click chemistry. Two pharmacophoric fragments of lavendustin were varied to investigate chemical space and the auxophoric -CH2-NH- was altered to an 1,2,3-triazole for rapid click conjugation. The small molecules were evaluated against HCT116 colon cancer and CCRF-CEM leukemia cell lines. Among 28 analogues, 3-phenylpropyl ester 26b inhibited CCRF-CEM leukemia cell growth with GI50 value of 0.9 μM.

Manarin, Flavia,Roehrs, Juliano A.,Gay, Rafaela Mozzaquatro,Brandao, Ricardo,Menezes, Paulo H.,Nogueira, Cristina W.,Zeni, Gilson
body text, p. 2153 - 2162 (2009/07/01)
An efficient synthesis of 2-ehalcogen-3-substituted-benzo[b]furan compounds has been accomplished via electrophilic cyclization reaction of 2-chalcogenealkynyl anisoles using I2, ICl, Br2, and PhSeBr as electrophile sources. The product distributions were strongly dependent on the nature of substituents in the aromatic ring of anisole and on the chalcogen atom directly bonded to the triple bond. The 2-chalcogen-3-iodo- benzo[b]furans obtained smoothly underwent conversion to more complex structures of benzo-[b]furan derivatives via palladium- or copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with thiols, diphenyl diselenides, and zincates.

The new compound 3-((2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethynyl)thiophene has been synthesised by Sonogashira coupling. A modified electrode coated with a polythiophene film bearing a quinone moiety was obtained by electropolymerisation of the thienyl group followed by anodic oxidation of para-dimethoxyphenyl group. The cyclovoltammetric response resulting from the reaction of glutathione with the benzoquinone moiety was investigated. The responses of the modified electrode as a new potentiometric sensor of reduced thiols are proposed.

In view of the increasing importance of highly efficient light-emitting materials in chemistry, biological science, and materials science, we investigated the light-emitting efficiency tuning of rod-shaped oligo(p-phenylene ethynylene)s (OPEs, trimeric to pentameric systems) by donor and acceptor groups, so that they emit the very intense fluorescence (Φf ≈ 1.0, log ε ≈ 5) at 460 nm as the desired wavelength region. This goal was achieved by side modification by MeO (donor) groups and end modification by a CN-substituted benzene ring or CF3-substituted pyridine ring (acceptor) of tetrameric p-phenylene ethynylene rod-shaped molecules (Φf = 0.96, λem = 458 nm, log ε = 4.96 for the former and Φf = 0.99, λem = 459 nm, log ε = 4.92 for the latter). The high Φf values for 11 and 12 are interpreted in terms of kr (radiative rate constant) and kd (radiationless rate constant). The linear relationship with a positive slope between Φf and the Hammett σ constant was found for the first time. It is found that kd rather than kr varies with σp-X. The photophysical properties (Φf, λem, λabs, log ε) were not so altered with the solvent polarity, which could be explained by the dipole moments in the excited and ground states. The results would be valuable for the molecular design of highly efficient light-emitting materials. Copyright
