Foldamers as Reactive Sieves: Reactivity as a Probe of Conformational Flexibility
摘要:
A series of m-phenyleneethynylene (mPE) oligomers modified with a dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) unit were treated with methyl sulfonates of varying sizes and shapes, and the relative reactivities were measured by UV spectrophotometry. Using a small-molecule DMAP analogue as a reference, each of the methyl sulfonates was shown to react at nearly identical rate. In great contrast, oligomers that are long enough to fold, and hence capable of binding the methyl sulfonate, experience rate enhancements of 18-1600-fold relative to that of the small-molecule analogue, depending on the type of alkyl chain attached to the guest. Three different oligomer lengths were studied, with the longest oligomers exhibiting the fastest rate and greatest substrate specificity. Even large, bulky guests show slightly enhanced methylation rates compared to that with the reference DMAP, which suggests a dynamic nature to the oligomer's binding cavity. Several mechanistic models to describe this behavior are discussed.

Mercury-photosensitized sulfination of alkanes, RH, with SO2 forms sulfinic acids (RSOOH) and sulfinate esters (RSOOR) in high conversion and yield; oxidation of the mixture produces RSO2OH in high yield. Mercury-photosensitized hydrosulfination of alkenes with H2 and SO2 gives RSO2OH after oxidative workup. Mercury-photosensitized carbonylation of alkanes with CO gives RCHO and R2CO.
