Kinetics of the Self-Assembly of α-Cyclodextrin [2]Pseudorotaxanes with 1,12-Bis(4-(α-alkyl-α-methylmethanol)pyridinium)dodecane Dications in Aqueous Solution
摘要:
The kinetics and thermodynamics of the self-assembly of a series of [2]pseudorotaxanes comprised of alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) and racemic 1,12-bis(4-(alpha-alkyl-alpha-methylmethanol)pyridinium)dodecane dications (L(CH2)(12)L2+) in aqueous;solutions have been investigated using H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The mechanism of assembly involves inclusion of the alpha-methyl-alpha-alkylmethanol substituent groups (-C(CH3)(OH)R, where R = Me, Et, Pr, Bu, allyl, and 4-butenyl) by alpha-CD, followed by a rate-determining passage of the cyclodextrin over the pyridinium group onto the dodecamethylene chain. Dicationic threads containing end groups with R = Ph or i-Pr or where L = 4-(alpha,alpha-diethylmethanol)pyridinium did not form alpha-cyclodextrin pseudorotaxanes, even after prolonged heating. The trends in the rate and activation parameters may be related to the size, shape, and hydrophobicity of the alkyl substituents and are compared with several other systems from the literature. An increase in the length and hydrophobicity of the alkyl group increases the strength of end group inclusion and decreases the rate of threading. In addition, the presence of unsaturation in the alkyl substituent (allyl vs propyl and 4-butenyl vs butyl) results in an increase in the threading rate constant.

We have discovered the unprecedented catalytic use of In(0) for catalytic C-C bond transformations. Remarkably, these generalcatalytic allylations of ketones proceeded smoothly in water as a sole solvent under mild conditions, and water proved to be essential for these reactions. Both the displayed substrate scope and the functional group tolerance were excellent. Importantly, the In metal catalyst
我们发现了 In(0) 在催化 CC 键转换中前所未有的催化用途。值得注意的是,这些酮的一般催化烯丙基化反应在温和条件下在作为唯一溶剂的水中顺利进行,并且水被证明是这些反应必不可少的。显示的底物范围和官能团耐受性都非常好。重要的是,In 金属催化剂可以很容易地回收和重复使用,而不会损失催化活性。此外,当使用 α 取代的烯丙基硼酸酯时,观察到不寻常的结构选择性,仅提供正式的 α 加合物。此外,得到的叔均烯丙基醇具有极高的非对映选择性。
Carbon monoxide enabling synergistic carbonylation and (hetero)aryl migration
catalytic systems to activate CO and then quench the generated acyl intermediate with nucleophiles to complete the carbonylative transformations. Here, non-classically, we unveil a visible-light-induced, carbonylation-triggered radical relay rearrangement reaction, in which the CO insertion step is a key element for functional group migration. The selective insertion of a carbonyl group into the newly generated
