Folding-Promoted TBACl-Mediated Chemo- and Regioselective Demethylations of Methoxybenzene-Based Macrocyclic Pentamers
摘要:
Tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBACI) salt alone has not been shown previously to be capable of removing methoxy groups. It is demonstrated here that the use of TBACI achieves efficient folding-promoted chemo- and regioselective demethylations, eliminating up to two out of five methyl groups situated in similar macrocyclic chemical microenvironments.
One-pot, multi-molecular macrocyclization allows the highly selective preparation of pentagon-shaped circular aromatic pentamers mediated by an inward-pointing continuous hydrogen-bonding network.

the basis of bimolecular reactions between two oligomers higher than monomers via kinetic simulations. In this scenario, the acyclic pentamer is kinetically “trapped” to undergo an intramolecular cyclization to yield circular pentamer, rather than to produce acyclic hexamer. As a result, acyclic hexamer precursor is generated largely from sterically demanding bimolecular reactions between a dimer and
POCl3‐mediated one‐pot macrocyclization allows the highly selective formation of five‐residue macrocycles that are rigidified by internally placed intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Mechanistic investigation by using tailored competition experiments and kinetic simulation provides a comprehensive model, supporting a chain‐growthmechanism underlying the one‐pot formation of aromaticpentamers, whereby the successive
Introduction of a continuous hydrogen-bonding network suppressed the conformational flexibility of an oligomeric backbone. Cyclization of a rigidified, suitably sized oligomer led to a circular aromatic pentamer. Its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography reveals a pseudo five-fold symmetric planarity in the solid state, which is quite unusual among all the previously described shape-persistent macrocycles and synthetic foldamers with biased conformations enforced by noncovalent forces.
