Building BLOCK Strategies for the Synthesis of Molecular Clefts with Inside Functionality
摘要:
A new general route to U-type cavity structures (molecular clefts) with inside functionality has been developed using wall extension or base/ roof assembly methods which draw upon (i) the 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition reaction between alkenes and cyclobutene epoxides (ACE coupling) or (ii) the Diels-Alder reaction of alkenes with fused dihydropyridazines (s-tetrazine coupling). In this way, functional units (e.g., crown ethers, redox active naphthalenes) have been attached stereospecifically to short-walled bis-alkenes 1-5 to produce cavity structure 6-10 with top of-wall separations (C to C) from 4.5 to 12.7 Angstrom.
Rigid polyalicyclic nanostructures with extended and U-shaped geometry and functionalised with 15-crown-5 rings have been prepared from molrac mono or bisalkenes and new crown ether isobenzofurans; substituents in the 1,3-position of the isobenzofuran are used to modify stereospecifities in the cycloaddition process thereby acting as geometrical control agents in the construction process.
