Macrocyclic Influences in CO2 Uptake and Stabilization
摘要:
Two 24-member diamine-tetraamido macrocycles (R = H and CH3), readily synthesized in one or two steps, were found to react with CO, rapidly and efficiently (100% conversion within 1 min at rt). The resulting carbamate formation was demonstrated by H-1, C-13 NMR, ESI-MS, and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure clearly showed the carbamate group (N-CO2-) formed was tightly bound within the macrocyclic cavity, held by five internal hydrogen bonds, and stabilized by intramolecular carbamate-ammonium salt-bridge formation.
