Versatile cavitands for small molecules: the entropically driven ethanol selectivity
摘要:
Two new C-2, cavitands based on resorcin[4]arene were synthesized and their binding properties for nine small molecules were studied. The alcohol selectivity was in the order of CH3OH similar to CH3CHOHCH3 CH3CH2OH with the highest K-a = 260 M-1 at 23 degreesC in CDCl3. Their carceroisomerism was observed by H-1 NMR spectra and the quinone-capped cavitand's complexation of ethanol was driven entropically. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Two new C-2v cavitands with protective side chains were synthesized and their binding properties for small molecules were studied. Cavitand 7 having benzyl side chains binds ethanol most strongly with K-a = 1508 M-1 at 20degreesC in CDCl3, which was driven entropically. Cavitand 8 having coumarinyl side chains showed weaker binding due to its steric hindrance. H-1 NMR spectra show that carceroisomers of ethanol or acetonitrile@cavitand 7 exist in 3:1 ratio at 20degreesC. The binding tendencies of the guest molecules were increased in nonpolar solvent media. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
