Rational design of aminoanthraquinones for colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution
A family of water-soluble colorimetric chemosensors incorporating an anthraquinone signalling subunit functionalized with a polyamine chain that bears hydrophilic diethoxyphosphoryl moieties was prepared with the aim of assaying metal cations. The outstanding UV-Vis absorption properties of the 1-aminoanthraquinone chromophore allowed the efficient visual detection and quantification of copper(II) ions by chelators L(1)-L(3) in buffered aqueous solution. Moreover, the visible response of L(2) is not interfered by addition of large excesses of 13 common metal ions, whereas chemosensor L(3) produces also a color change in the presence of equimolar amounts of lead(II). Considering the 134 nm g…
Synthesis of 1,3-bis(trimethylcyclam) and 1,3-bis(trimethylcyclen) substituted benzenes
Pd-catalyzed amination of 1,3-dibromobenzene with N,N',N''-trimethylcyclam and N,N',N''-trimethylcyclen provided corresponding 1,3-bis(tetraazamacrocyclic) derivatives of benzene in 25-32% yields. The dependence of the products yields on the phosphine ligand applied (BINAP, DavePHOS) as well as on the stoichiometry of starting compounds was established. Scope and limitations for the synthesis of N-phenyl and N-(3-bromophenyl) derivatives of trimethylcyclam and trimethylcyclen were demonstrated.
Cover Picture: Palladium-Catalyzed Arylation of Linear and Cyclic Polyamines (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2/2005)
The cover picture shows the model structures of four compounds among the hundred of arylated linear and cyclic polyamines prepared by palladium-catalyzed coupling of mono- and dihalogenoarenes with various aliphatic or aromatic polyamines. The reaction is strongly dependent on the nature and the concentration of the catalytic system, as well as the nature of the base. The competitive reaction between primary and secondary amines and the monoamination of dihalobenzenes have also been detailed in the article by R. Guilard et al. on p. 261 ff. In the following article by the same authors on p. 281 ff, the method has been applied to the synthesis of numerous nitrogen- and oxygen-containing macr…
Optical methods for the detection of heavy metal ions
The review covers an important area of the modern chemistry, namely, the detection of heavy metal ions using optical molecular detectors. The role of this method in metal ion detection and the physicochemical grounds of operation of chemosensors are discussed, and examples of detection of most abundant heavy metal ions and synthetic approaches to molecular detectors are presented. The immobilization of molecular detectors on solid substrates for the design of analytical sensor devices is described. The bibliography includes 178 references.
Synthesis of a new family of bi- and polycyclic compounds via Pd-catalyzed amination of 1,7-di(3-bromobenzyl)cyclen
Abstract New bicyclic cryptand type compounds are synthesized by reacting 1,7-di(3-bromobenzyl)cyclen with 1 equiv of linear polyamines under dilute conditions using Pd-catalyzed amination. Bis(cyclen) and tris(cyclen) compounds containing linear polyamine linkers between benzylated cyclens are obtained by a similar procedure using different reaction conditions. Cyclization of these species via intramolecular catalytic diamination led to tri- and tetracyclic polyaza compounds.
Palladium-Catalyzed Arylation of Linear and Cyclic Polyamines.
Synthetic protocols for the palladium-catalyzed arylation of various linear and cyclic polyamines and polyoxapolyamines has been worked out. Pd(0) and Pd(II) complexes with such phosphine ligands as dppf, BINAP, PPF-OMe, P(tBu) 3 , 2-ditert-butylphosphino- 1,1'-biphenyl have been explored in the catalytic amination reactions. Monoamination of chloro-, bromo-, and iodoarenes with di-, tri-, and tetraamines have been carried out, condi- tions for di- and polyarylation of linear polyamines have been elaborated. Successful aryla- tion of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclene) and 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cy- clam) have been conducted. Intramolecular diamination of dihaloarenes such …
Pd-catalyzed amination in the synthesis of cyclen-based macrotricycles
Abstract Three approaches to three types of cyclen-based macrotricycles have been elaborated starting from trans-bis(3-bromobenzyl)cyclen. The macrotricycles were synthesized via Pd-catalyzed amination. The first approach employed consecutive macrocyclization and benzylation steps giving a cage-like tricycle. In the second, cyclen amino groups were Boc-protected prior to formation of the second and the third rings. In the third method, macrotricycles were synthesized according to a one-step procedure using diazacrown ethers.
6-Polyamino-substituted quinolines: synthesis and multiple metal (CuII, HgIIand ZnII) monitoring in aqueous media
Chemoselective palladium-catalyzed arylation of polyamines with 6-bromoquinoline has been explored to prepare chelators for the detection of metal cations in aqueous media. The introduction of a single aromatic moiety into non-protected polyamine molecules was achieved using the commercially available Pd(dba)2/BINAP precatalyst to afford nitrogen chelators, in which the aromatic signalling unit is directly attached to the polyamine residue. Water-soluble receptors were then synthesized using N-alkylation of these polyamines by hydrophilic coordinating residues. By combining rich photophysical properties of the 6-aminoquinoline unit with a high coordination affinity of chelating polyamines a…
Palladium-Catalysed Amination of 1,8- and 1,5-Dichloroanthracenes and 1,8- and 1,5-Dichloroanthraquinones
Diamino derivatives of anthracene and anthraquinone have been synthesised by palladium-catalysed coupling of 1,8-dichloroanthracene and 1,8-dichloroanthraquinone with a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic primary and secondary amines. The use of polyamines gave rise to a large number of new nitrogen- and oxygen-containing macrocycles incorporating anthracene or anthraquinone moieties. The method has also been employed for the preparation of bismacrocycles in which two cyclam or azacrown units are linked together by an anthracene bridge through C(sp2)−N bonds.
