The one-step synthetic strategy for the preparation of the hitherto unknown calix[3]carbazole from readily available starting materials is described. Calix[3]carbazole is obtained in 20% yield, and it could selectively bind the N(C2H5)4(+) cation (tetraethylammonium, TEA) via cation-π interactions. The experimental and modeling results indicate that calix[3]carbazole possesses a larger π-cavity as well as a better chromophoric property than the traditional phenol-based macrocycles, and thus is capable of binding to and optically responding to the relatively large guest TEA.
本文描述了一种由易得的起始原料一步合成迄今未知的杯[3]咔唑的策略。杯[3]咔唑的产率为20%,它可通过阳离子-π相互作用选择性地结合N(C2H5)4(+)阳离子(四乙铵,TEA)。实验和建模结果表明,杯[3]咔唑比传统的基于苯酚的大环化合物具有更大的π-腔以及更好的发色性能,因此能够结合相对较大的客体TEA并对其产生光学响应。
