Pyrazole amino acids: hydrogen bonding directed conformations of 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid residue
2017
A series of model compounds containing 3-amino-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid residue with N-terminal amide/urethane and C-terminal amide/hydrazide/ester groups were investigated by using NMR, Fourier transform infrared, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods, additionally supported by theoretical calculations. The studies demonstrate that the most preferred is the extended conformation with torsion angles ϕ and ψ close to ±180°. The studied 1H-pyrazole with N-terminal amide/urethane and C-terminal amide/hydrazide groups solely adopts this energetically favored conformation confirming rigidity of that structural motif. However, when the C-terminal ester group is present, the second con…
Stereoselective Synthesis of trans-4,5-Disubstituted Oxazolidin-2-ones by Intramolecular Conjugate Addition of N-p-Toluenesulfonyl Carbamates.
2003
p-Toluenesulfonyl carbamates (2a-d) were prepared starting from allylic alcohols (3), in which the double bond is conjugated with an electron withdrawing group. In the presence of a catalytic amount of DBU, an intramolecular cyclisation occurred, leading to trans-4,5-disubstituted oxazolidin-2-ones (1a-d) with total stereoselection, which can be precursors of syn-4-hydroxy-3-amino acids.
Conformational investigation of α,β-dehydropeptides. XVI. β-turn tendency in Ac-Pro-ΔXaa-NHMe: crystallographic and theoretical studies
2006
The crystal structures of two diastereomeric alpha,beta-dehydrobutyrine peptides Ac-Pro-(Z)-DeltaAbu-NHMe (I) and Ac-Pro-(E)-DeltaAbu-NHMe (II) have been determined. Both dehydropeptides adopt betaI-turn conformation characterized by the pairs of (phi(i+1), psi(i+1)) and (phi(i+2), psi(i+2)) angles as -66, -19, -97, 11 degrees for I and -59, -27, -119, 29 degrees for II. In each peptide, the betaI turn is stabilized by (i + 3) --> i intramolecular hydrogen bonds with N...O distance of 3.12 A for I and 2.93 A for II. These structures have been compared to the crystal structures of homologous peptides Ac-Pro-DeltaVal-NHMe and Ac-Pro-DeltaAla-NHMe. Theoretical analyses by DFT/B3LYP/6-31 + G** …
Intramolecular Interactions in the Triplet Excited States of Benzophenone–Thymine Dyads
2005
Time-resolved and product studies on the synthesized dyads 1 and 2 have provided evidence that the benzophenone-to-thymine orientation strongly influences intramolecular photophysical and photochemical processes. The prevailing reaction mechanism has been established as a Paterno-Büchi cycloaddition to give oxetanes 3-6; however, the ability of benzophenone to achieve a formal hydrogen abstraction from the methyl group of thymidine has also been evidenced by the formation of photoproducts 7 and 8. These processes have been observed only in the case of the cisoid dyad 1. Adiabatic photochemical cycloreversion of the oxetane ring is achieved upon direct photolysis to give the starting dyad 1 …
Optical switches with biplanemers obtained by intramolecular photocycloaddition reactions of tethered arenes.
2012
The dimerization of anthracene by a [4π + 4π] cycloaddition is one of the oldest and best known reactions in photochemistry. In the series of tethered bichromophoric arenes, this reaction type could be extended to anthracene–naphthalene, naphthalene–naphthalene and recently even to anthracene–benzene and naphthalene–benzene systems. Cyclophanes, which can be regarded as twofold or multiple tethered systems, are not discussed here. The cycloisomerizations are performed by irradiation at the long-wavelength absorption (λ > 270 nm), whereas shorter wavelengths (λ < 270 nm) lead to cycloreversions, which can be also achieved by a thermal route. The systems represent therefore a P- and T-type ph…

Intramolecular charge transfer in elongated donor-acceptor conjugated polyenes
1995
Abstract Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) has been investigated by electro-optical absorption measurements for two series of donor-acceptor polyenes of increasing length. Each molecule undergoes an increase in dipole moment upon photoexcitation. The experimental results indicate that lengthening the polyenic chain linking the donor and acceptor end groups results in a bathochromic shift of the ICT absorption band and induces marked increases of both excited state and transition dipoles, whereas the ground-state dipole is relatively unaffected. As a result, marked photoinduced changes in the dipole moment (up to 33 D) were obtained with the longest molecules (up to 27 A) leading to highl…
Observation of Ligand-Centred Fluorescence and Intramolecular Relaxation at Sub-Vibrational Time Scales
2016
Using broadband photoluminescence upconversion, we observe fluorescence from a high-lying ligand-centred state in Ir(ppy)3. This result allows us to clock the electronic relaxation to the lowest 3MLCT state, occurring at sub-vibrational time scales.
Emission Enhancement by Intramolecular Stacking between Heteroleptic Iridium(III) Complex and Flexibly Bridged Aromatic Pendant Group
2019
Phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes suffer from a strong aggregation quenching, limiting their use in solution-processed or crystalline organic light-emitting diodes. Here we report how an intramolecular stacking between a flexibly bridged bulky aromatic pendant group and the core of nonionic heteroleptic complex can be exploited to minimize the negative effects of this drawback. The stacked conformation provides a rigid sterical shielding of the polar molecular surface, improving photoluminescence quantum yield of the complex both in solution and crystalline state.
Intramolecular Electron Transfer between Tyrosine and Tryptophan Photosensitized by a Chiral π,π* Aromatic Ketone
2005
The photochemical reaction of Trp and Tyr and related peptides with Suprofen (SUP) as sensitizer in H2O/CH3CN (28:1 v/v) solutions has been studied by time-resolved spectroscopy. The results show that SUP induces oxidation of both Trp and Tyr, as well as intramolecular-ET reactions in the related peptides. The influence of photosensitizer configuration on the involved processes has been studied by using the enantiomerically pure compounds. A significant chiral recognition is observed in which the concentration of the radicals formed after triplet quenching depends on the configuration of the chiral center; the quenching process is higher when using the (R)-SUP enantiomer.
