One-Pot Formation of Aromatic Tetraurea Macrocycles
摘要:
Treating derivatives of m-phenylenediamine having different electron-richness and reactivities with triphosgene in the presence of triethylamine led to aromatic tetraurea rnacrocycles in high yields. Factors important for efficiently forming these macrocycles include the molar ratio (2:1) between the diamine and triphosgene, reaction temperature (-75 degrees C), and solvent (CH2Cl2). By controlling the order and rate for adding diamines, tetraurea macrocycles consisting of two different types of monomeric residues have also been obtained in high yields.

exhibited a substantial difference in complexation (slow/fast exchange) towards bipyridinium. Inspired by this finding, these macrocycles were applied to efficiently and selectively construct [2]- and [3]rotaxanes through one-pot synthesis. The origin of the selectivity in this novel approach was elucidated by comparing single crystal structures, DFT calculations and stepwise synthesis.
A light-responsive system constructed from hydrogen-bonded azo-macrocycles demonstrates precisely controlled propensity in molecular encapsulation and release process. A significant decrease in the size of the cavity is observed in the course of the E→Z photoisomerization based on the results from DFT calculations and traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry. These macrocyclic hosts exhibit a
