We designed and prepared a spacious and gated basket of type 2 (V = 318 Å3) in ten synthetic steps. With the assistance of 1H NMR spectroscopy, we found that the pyridine gates at the rim of 2 form a seam of N–H⋯N hydrogen bonds, thereby adopting right- (P) and left-handed (M) helical arrangements. The recognition characteristics of the smaller basket 1 (V = 226 Å3) and the larger 2 for various solvents as guests were quantified by 1H NMR spectroscopy in CD2Cl2 (61 Å3), CDCl3 (75 Å3), CFCl3 (81 Å3) and CCl4 (89 Å3); the apparent guest binding equilibria Ka were found to be inversely proportional to the affinity of bulk solvents KS for populating each host. The rate of the P/M racemization (krac, s−1) was, for both 1 and 2, studied in all four solvents using dynamic NMR spectroscopy. From these experiments, two isokinetic relationships (ΔS‡P/Mvs. ΔH‡P/M) were identified with each one corresponding to a different mechanism of P/M racemization. A computational study (B3LYP/6-31+G**//PM6) of 1 and 2 in the gas phase indicates two competing racemization pathways: (a) RM1–2 describes a pivoting of a single gate followed by the rotation of the remaining two gates, while (b) RM3 depicts simultaneous (geared) rotation of all three gates. The racemization of the larger basket 2, in all four solvents (packing coefficient, PC = 0.19–0.28), conformed to one isokinetic relationship, which also coincided with the operation of the smaller basket 1 in CD2Cl2 (PC = 0.27). However, in CDCl3, CFCl3 and CCl4 (PC = 0.33–0.39), the mode of action of 1 appears to correlate with a different isokinetic relationship. Thus, we propose that the population of the basket's inner space (PC) determines the mechanism of P/M racemization. When PC < 0.3, the mechanism of operation is RM1–2, whereas, a greater packing, represented when PC > 0.3, enforces the geared RM3 mechanistic alternative.
我们通过十个合成步骤设计并制备了一个宽敞且有门控的 2 型篮子(V = 318 Å3)。在 1H NMR 光谱的帮助下,我们发现 2 边缘的吡啶门形成了 N-H⋯N 氢键的接缝,从而采用了右手(P)和左手(M)螺旋排列。在 CD2Cl2(61 Å3)、CDCl3(75 Å3)、CFCl3(81 Å3)和 CCl4(89 Å3)中,通过 1H NMR 光谱定量分析了较小的筐体 1(V = 226 Å3)和较大的筐体 2 对各种溶剂作为客体的识别特征;发现表观客体结合平衡 Ka 与大块溶剂 KS 填充每个宿主的亲和力成反比。使用动态核磁共振光谱法研究了 1 和 2 在所有四种溶剂中的 P/M 消旋化速率(krac,s-1)。通过这些实验,确定了两种等动力学关系(ΔS‡P/Mvs.对 1 和 2 在气相中的计算研究(B3LYP/6-31+G**//PM6)表明了两种相互竞争的消旋化途径:(a) RM1-2 描述了单个栅极的旋转,然后是其余两个栅极的旋转,而 (b) RM3 描述了所有三个栅极的同时(定向)旋转。较大的筐体 2 在所有四种溶剂中的消旋化(堆积系数,PC = 0.19-0.28)符合一种等动力学关系,这也与较小的筐体 1 在 CD2Cl2 中的操作(PC = 0.27)相吻合。然而,在 CDCl3、CFCl3 和 CCl4(PC = 0.33-0.39)中,1 的作用模式似乎与不同的等动力学关系相关。因此,我们认为篮内空间(PC)的人口数量决定了 P/M 消旋化的机制。当 PC < 0.3 时,运行机制为 RM1-2,而当 PC > 0.3 时,更大的包装则强制执行等速 RM3 机制。
