Abstract

This study introduces new triazole-linked host compounds, which have been synthesized from 7,8-dioxa-bisnaphthalene and 7,8-dioxa[6]helicenes. These compounds have different cavities depending on being ‘v’-shaped or helicene structures. The dimeric structure of 7,8-dioxa-bisnaphthalene has also been obtained and crystal structure analysis confirmed that it contains an unusual seven-membered dihydrooxepine ring. All synthesized compounds can act as molecular tweezers for organic molecules and also metal ions.

Key words

dioxahelicenes - bisnaphthalenes - triazoles - molecular tweezers - v-shaped molecules

NBS (1.07 g, 1.2 equiv) was added and the resulting solution was heated to 90 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere and irradiated with 360 nm UV light for 24 h. The elimination of HBr gas was observed within 3 h and confirmed with wet pH paper. The reaction progress was also monitored by TLC. When gas evolution ended and the starting material consumed, the mixture was cooled to r.t. and filtered to seperate insoluble succinimide. The solvent was removed, and the crude reaction mixture was not purified and directly hydrolyzed. After the hydrolization step, compound 10 was isolated by column chromatography (EtOAc/acetone/n-hexane 10:30:60) with a yield of 12%. Then, an etherification reaction (general procedure in the Supporting Information) with propargyl bromide (0.2 mL, 2.2 equiv) was performed with the residual mixture. Without any purification, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction (general procedure in the Supporting Information) was carried out with benzyl azide (0.042 mL, 2.3 equiv) in the presence of Cu(I)Br (0.01g, 0.5 equiv) and PMDETA (0.015 mL, 0.5 equiv) and the crude mixture was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc/acetone/n-hexane 10:30:60) to afford compound 13 in 28% yield (0.27 g according to compound 9).
