Abstract

A novel class of molecular clips based on diethoxycarbonyl glycoluril was synthesized via click chemistry. Seven different arylacetylenes were used in this research, and all reaction products gave satisfying ^¹H NMR, ^¹³C NMR, HRMS, and IR spectra. The structure and conformation of 7a were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A primary study on the metal-ion binding ability of 7f showed that its fluorescence was obviously quenched by Fe^³+, Ag⁺, and Cu^²+ among metal ions examined.

Key words

clip receptor - diethoxycarbonyl glycoluril - molecular recognition - 1,2,3-triazole - fluorescence

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Compound 7
The azide 6 (0.20 mmol) and arylacetylene (0.40 mmol) were suspended in 1:1 mixture of H₂O and t-BuOH (10 mL). Ascorbate acid (0.020 mmol, 20 µL of freshly prepared 1.0 M solution in H₂O, 10 mol%) was added, followed by copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (0.010 mmol, 100 µL of 0.10 M solution in H₂O, 5.0 mol%). The heterogeneous mixture was stirred vigorously for 24 h under Ar protection. After total consumption of the starting material (determination by TLC), the solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was isolated by column chromatography on SiO₂ to get the pure product 7.
