Redox-responsive conformational alteration of aromatic amides bearing N-quinonyl system
摘要:
Redox-induced conformational alteration of N-aryl-N-phenylamides, in which the N-aryl group consists of a hydroquinone-p-quinone system, was examined. The reduced form bearing a dihydroxyphenyl or dimethoxyphenyl group exists mainly in the E-form, whereas the oxidized form bearing a N-benzoquinone moiety takes the Z-form both in the crystal and in solution. This redox-induced conformational alteration is associated with a marked change in optical properties. This system appears to have suitable properties for use in external redox stimulus-responsive functional switching. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We constructed a novel molecular conformational alteration system with an N-aryl-N-phenylacetamide structure, in which the N-aryl group consists of a hydroquinone-p-quinone system as a redox-dependent aromatic trigger. The amide conformation depended on-the oxidation state of the aryl group, and the two states (compounds 2 and 3) were reversibly converted to each other by redox reactions. Such compounds would be applied as useful structural units for external stimulus-responsive control on the shape and function of large molecules or supramolecules.
