Novel photoswitchable chiral hosts having an axis chiral 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl (BINOL)-appended stiff-stilbene, trans-(R,R)- and -(S,S)-1, were synthesized by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and low-valence titanium-catalyzed McMurry coupling as key steps, and they were fully characterized by various NMR spectral techniques. The enantiomers of trans-1 showed almost complete mirror images in the CD spectra, where two split Cotton effects (exciton coupling) were observed in the beta-transitions of the naphthyl chromophore at 222 and 235 nm, but no Cotton effect was observed in the stiff-stilbene chromophore at 365 nm. The structures of (R)-10 and trans-(R,R)-1 were confirmed by X-ray structural analysis. The optimized structure of cis-1 by MO calculations has a wide chiral cavity of 7-8 A in diameter, whereas trans-1 cannot form an intramolecular cavity based on the X-ray data. Irradiation of (R,R)-trans-1 with black light (lambda = 365 nm) in CH3CN or benzene at 23 degrees C led to the conversion to the corresponding cis-isomer, as was monitored by 1H NMR, UV-vis, and CD spectra. At the photostationary state, the cis-1/trans-1 ratio was 86/14 in benzene or 75/25 in CH3CN. On the other hand, irradiation of the cis-1/trans-1 (75/25) mixture in CH3CN with an ultra-high-pressure Hg lamp at 23 degrees C (lambda = 410 nm) led to the photostationary state, where the cis-1/trans-1 ratio was estimated to be 9/91 on the basis of the 1H NMR spectra. The cis-trans and trans-cis interconversions could be repeated 10 times without decomposition of the C=C double bond. Thus, a new type of photoswitchable molecule has been developed, and trans-1 and cis-1 were quite durable under irradiation conditions. The guest binding properties of the BINOL moieties of trans- and cis-(R,R)-1 with F-, Cl-, and H2PO4- were examined by 1H NMR titration in CDCl3. Similar interaction with F- and Cl- was observed in trans-1 (host/guest = 1/1, Kassoc = (1.0 +/- 0.13) x 103 for F- and (4.6 +/- 0.72) x 102 M-1 for Cl-) and cis-1 (host/guest = 1/1, Kassoc = (1.0 +/- 0.13) x 103 for F- and (5.9 +/- 0.69) x 10 M-1 for Cl-), but H2PO4- interacted differently: the cis-isomer formed the 1/1 complex (Kassoc = (9.38 +/- 2.67) x 10 M-1), whereas multistep equilibrium was expected for the trans-isomer.
以钯催化的铃木-宫浦偶联反应和低价钛催化的麦克默里偶联反应为关键步骤,合成了具有轴手性2,2'-二羟基-1,1'-联萘(BINOL)修饰的刚性二苯乙烯的新型光开关手性主体,即反式-(R,R)-1和-(S,S)-1,并通过各种核磁共振光谱技术对其进行了全面表征。反式-1的对映体在圆二色光谱中显示出几乎完全镜像的特征,在萘发色团的β跃迁中,于222和235 nm处观察到两个分裂的科顿效应(激子耦合),但在365 nm处的刚性二苯乙烯发色团中未观察到科顿效应。通过X射线结构分析确定了(R)-10和反式-(R,R)-1的结构。通过分子轨道计算得到的顺式-1的优化结构具有直径为7-8 Å的宽手性空腔,而根据X射线数据,反式-1无法形成分子内空腔。在23℃下,在乙腈或苯中用黑光(λ = 365 nm)照射(R,R)-反式-1,通过1H NMR、紫外可见光谱和圆二色光谱监测到其转化为相应的顺式异构体。在光稳态下,苯中顺式-1/反式-1的比例为86/14,乙腈中为75/25。另一方面,在23℃下用超高压汞灯(λ = 410 nm)照射乙腈中的顺式-1/反式-1(75/25)混合物至光稳态,根据1H NMR光谱估计顺式-1/反式-1的比例为9/91。顺反和反顺互变可以重复10次而不破坏C=C双键。因此,开发了一种新型的光开关分子,反式-1和顺式-1在照射条件下相当稳定。通过在CDCl3中进行1H NMR滴定,研究了反式和顺式-(R,R)-1的BINOL部分与F-、Cl-和H2PO4-的客体结合性能。在反式-1(主体/客体 = 1/1,F-的缔合常数Kassoc = (1.0 ± 0.13)×103 M-1,Cl-的缔合常数Kassoc = (4.6 ± 0.72)×102 M-1)和顺式-1(主体/客体 = 1/1,F-的缔合常数Kassoc = (1.0 ± 0.13)×103 M-1,Cl-的缔合常数Kassoc = (5.9 ± 0.69)×10 M-1)中观察到与F-和Cl-的类似相互作用,但H2PO4-的相互作用不同:顺式异构体形成1/1配合物(缔合常数Kassoc = (9.38 ± 2.67)×10 M-1),而反式异构体预期会出现多步平衡。
