PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 319:124524. [PMID: 38824759 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
On basis of their unique chemical and photophysical properties, and excellent biological activities, quinoliziniums have been widely used in various research fields. Herein, modular synthetic strategies for efficient synthesis of novel fluorescent quinoliziniums by using one-pot and stepwise rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H annulations were developed. In the one-pot synthesis, the reaction between 2-aryl-4-quinolones (1) and 1,2-diarylalkynes (2) proceeded in a chemo- and regioselective manner to give quinolinone-fused isoquinolines (3) and pentacyclic-fused pyranoquinoliziniums (4). The structural diversity of pentacyclic-fused pyranoquinoliziniums (4) was expanded by the stepwise synthesis from 3 and 2, allowing the strategic incorporation of electron-donating (OMe and OH) and electron-withdrawing (Cl) substituents on the top and bottom parts of the pyranoquinoliziniums (4). These newly synthesized pyranoquinoliziniums (4) exhibited tunable absorptions (455-532 nm), emissions (520-610 nm), fluorescence lifetime (0.3-5.6 ns), large Stokes shifts (up to 120 nm), and excellent fluorescence quantum yields (up to 0.73) upon adjusting the different substituents. The the unique arrangement of N and O atoms and extended π-conjugation of 4 could cause the relocation of HOMO comparing with our previous quinoliziniums. Importantly, pyranoquinoliziniums (4a-4g and 4i) targeted the mitochondria, while 4h was localized in lysosome. Due to the remarkable photophysical properties and the potential for organelle targeting of the novel class of quinoliziniums, they could be further applied for biological, chemical and material applications.

Abstract
The ruthenium/O2-catalyzed oxidative annulation reaction of imidazo[1,5-a]quinolin-2-ium salts with alkynes via N-heterocyclic carbene-directed C-H activation to obtain π-conjugated fused imidazo[1,5-a]quinolin-2-ium derivatives is reported. Molecular oxygen has been explored as an economic and clean oxidant and an alternative to metal oxidants. The current protocol exhibits a wide range of substrate scope including bioactive (±)-α-tocopherol derivatives. Moreover, most of the annulated products show strong fluorescence properties, indicating their potential for making new light-emitting materials.

Abstract
Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed synthesis of π-conjugated fused imidazo[1,5-a]quinolin-2-ium derivatives have been achieved via C-H activation of quinoline-functionalized NHC (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) and oxidative coupling with internal alkynes. The reaction occurred with high efficiency, broad substrate scope, tolerates a wide range of functional groups and utilized into a gram-scale. Synthetic applications of the coupled product have been exemplified in the late-stage derivatization of various highly functionalized scaffolds. Moreover, most of the annulated products exhibit intense fluorescence and have potential applications in optoelectronic devices. Mechanistic studies have provided insights into the spectroscopic characterization of key five-membered ruthenacycle intermediate and Ru(0) sandwich species. Based on several control experiments, deuterium-kinetic isotope effect, and thermodynamic activation parameters the mechanistic finding demonstrated that fused imidazo-[1,5-a]quinolin-2-ium C(2)-H bond cleavage is the rate-determining step and ruling out the possibility of reductive elimination for controlling the rate of reaction.

Abstract
An unprecedented non-AAIPEX protocol has been developed to access diverse monosubstituted cationic polycyclic heteroaromatic compounds (cPHACs) from the readily available azolium salts and phenacyl bromides via Ru(II)-catalyzed tandem annulation cum aromatization. This atom-economic protocol executes a range of intermediate steps e. g. double C-H activation, nucleophilic addition, annulation, and dehydration cum aromatization in one-pot manner under the generation of H2O as the sole byproduct. Moreover, the systematic tunability of photo-physical and electrochemical properties of these new class of cPHACs can be authenticated from the DFT calculated frontier molecular orbital energies that might be beneficial for their potential applications in optoelectronics and DNA intercalation.

Abstract
The first example of a hitherto-unknown facet of catalytic photooxidant capability of nitrenium cations is reported herein. The fundamental limitation of inability of the traditional and reported nitreniums to achieve the excited-state redox potential beyond +2.0 V (vs Ag/AgCl), the primary requirement for a powerful photooxidant, is addressed in this work by developing a structurally unique class of N-fused nitrenium cations, with the required structural engineering involving extensive π-conjugation through ring fusion at the nitrenium site, which enabled significant lowering of the LUMO energy and easy reduction at the excited state (excited-state redox potential up to +2.5 V vs Ag/AgCl), facilitated by effective delocalization/stabilization of the generated radical. This finding opens a new way to discover novel and useful (photo)catalytic properties of nitrenium cations beyond just Lewis acidity.

Abstract
N-Heterocycle-assisted C-H activation/annulation reactions have provided new concepts for the construction and transformation of azacycles. In this work, we disclose a [5+1] annulation reaction using a novel transformable pyridazine directing group (DG). The DG-transformable reaction mode led to the construction of a new heterocyclic ring accompanied by transformation of the original pyridazine directing group via a C-H activation/1,4-Rh migration/double bond shift pathway, affording the skeleton of pyridazino[6,1-b]quinazolines with a good substrate scope under mild conditions. Diverse fused cyclic compounds can be achieved by derivatization of the product. The asymmetric synthesis of the skeleton was also realized to afford the enantiomeric products with good stereoselectivity.

Abstract
An efficient protocol has been developed for the preparation of π-extended N-heterocycles involving a Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation reaction starting from 3-acetamidocoumarins and internal alkynes. The isolation of the intermediate pyrrolo-coumarin suggests that the -COCH3 group in acetamidocoumarins performs the role of a traceless directing group. Besides, the use of commercially available [Cp*RhCl2]2 adds more importance as no additional modification of the catalyst is required. A two-step protocol bearing intermediate pyrrolo-coumarin can be further functionalized to highly decorated heterocyclic moieties materializing sp2 C-H and sp2 N-H coupling. Moreover, one of the pyrrolo-coumarin compounds (3da) is capable of differentiating between Cr(III) and Cr(VI) ions as revealed via fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, intermediate pyrrolo-coumarin is further functionalized to spirocyclic N-heterocycles.

Abstract
Designing new synthetic strategies for indazoles is a prominent topic in contemporary research. The transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation/annulation sequence has arisen as a favorable tool to construct functionalized indazole derivatives with improved tolerance in medicinal applications, functional flexibility, and structural complexity. In the current review article, we aim to outline and summarize the most common synthetic protocols to use in the synthesis of target indazoles via a transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation/annulation sequence for the one-step synthesis of functionalized indazole derivatives. We categorized the text according to the metal salts used in the reactions. Some metal salts were used as catalysts, and others may have been used as oxidants and/or for the activation of precatalysts. The roles of some metal salts in the corresponding reaction mechanisms have not been identified. It can be expected that the current synopsis will provide accessible practical guidance to colleagues interested in the subject.

Abstract
The chromophore 2-2-(3-cyano-5,5-dimethyl-4-((2-(thiazol-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)-furan-2(5H)-ylidene)malononitrile (TzHTCF) was prepared by diazo-coupling of diazotized 2-aminothiazole with 3-cyano-2-(dicyanomethylene)-4,5,5-trimethylfuran (TCF). The TzHTCF absorption solvatochromism, in different polarity solvents, offered ΔEmax = +4.74 where the positive sign implied red shift occurrence and the TzHTCF lowest excited state was more polar than its ground one. While, the TzHTCF fluorescence spectrum afforded λem , in 416-670 nm range, and was more dependent on the solvent polarity than the absorption λmax , despite both exhibited red shift by 24 and 254 nm, respectively. To discover the Stokes' shift ( ∆ ν ¯ ) behaviour of TzHTCF derivative, Lippert-Mataga and linear solvation-energy relationship (LSER) formulations have been utilized where the LSER displayed better results than the Lippert-Mataga (R2 = 0. 9931). Furthermore, the LSER showed that the absorption and fluorescence solvatochromic behaviours were dependent on the solvent's hydrogen-bond donor (α) and acceptor (β), along with the solvent's polarizability (π*). Moreover, DFT calculations showed that TzHTCF has a planar configuration and its simulated absorption and emission spectra in DMSO revealed that λmax was primarily originated from HOMO→LUMO and HOMO-1→LUMO transitions, respectively.

Abstract
Herein, N-heterocyclic carbene-directed Ir(III)-catalyzed cascade C-H arylation/annulation of N-arylimidazolium with diaryliodonium salts has been accomplished for the first time via a quadruple C-H activation strategy to construct imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridinium structures. This protocol overcomes the compatibility of three kinds of different C-H activations with high catalytic efficiency, which allows ortho-unhindered N-arylimidazoliums to undergo a diarylation/annulation reaction, affording a variety of polysubstituted imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridiniums. Neutral imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridines are also prepared via a demethylation reaction of imidazo[1,2-f]phenanthridiniums.

Described herein is an efficient strategy for assembling a new library of functionalized polycyclic purinium salts with a wide range of anions through RhIII-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation of 6-arylpurine nucleosides with alkynes under mild reaction conditions. The resulting products displayed tunable photoluminescence covering most of the visible spectrum. Mechanistic insights delineated the rhodium catalyst's mode of action. A purinoisoquinolinium-coordinated rhodium(I) sandwich complex was well characterized and identified as the key intermediate.

Abstract
A convenient synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolinium salts from 1-pyrrolines and alkynes through rhodium-catalyzed C-H functionalization/N-annulation tandem reaction is described. The protocol features a good substrate tolerance, mild reaction conditions, and high yields of target products. Exploration of the alkyne scope unexpectedly revealed a novel labile functional group-promoted rhodium-catalyzed C-H functionalization/C-annulation/elimination cascade reaction of 1-pyrrolines with electron-deficient alkynes.

Abstract
Transition-metal catalyzed directing group (DG) assisted annulation of inert C-H bonds leads to the formation of complex molecular frameworks from readily accessible substrates. Thus, multiple annulation of less functionalized substrates with unsaturated species leads to the construction of structurally diverse fused poly(hetero)cycles. The directed inert C(arene)-H bond activation and the mode of TM-migration in this process could enabled obatining L-type [involves DG heteroatom, o-C(arene)-H bond, and C(arene)-H bond of aryl-motif in alkyne], Y-type [involves two heteroatoms of the DG and o-,o'-C(arene)-H bonds], and B-type [involves o-C(arene)-H bond and m-C(arene)-H bond] π-extended annulation products. The coordination preference of the DG heteroatom makes the transformation chemo- and regio-selective. This article underlines the conceptual development of unsymmetrical multiple annulation of arene C(sp2)-H bonds with alkynes, which is exceedingly appealing and highly important.

Abstract
Structurally engineered molecules which can behave as stimuli-controlled mechanical nanomachines such as molecular shuttles, rotors, ratchets, and springs are important in several research areas, including molecular robotics, actuation, sensing, cargo transportation, etc. Helicenes, by virtue of their unique screw-type structures, were proposed as functional models for molecular springs; however, experimental realization has remained an elusive and unmet task until now, because of the lack of appropriate helicene molecules consisting of backbone-decorated dynamic architectures. Aiming to explore this unearthed direction, we present herein a novel class of modular flexible heterohelicenes with a stimuli (acid/base and light)-responsive core and peripheral modules. By applying pH (at core-embedded free imidazole sites) and light (at backbone-tethered dithienylethene units) stimuli, we demonstrate that these flexible heterohelicenes exhibit spring-like movement, with the reversible contraction/extension of the helical pitch. The uniquely functionalized structure of these molecules played a critical role in bestowing such capability, as revealed by crystallographic, spectroscopic and computational data. Careful assessment disclosed that the protonation/deprotonation-induced reversible generation and delocalization of positive charge throughout the π-conjugated helical rim switch the operative interactions between the π clouds of the terminal overlapping arene rings of the helicenes between repulsive and attractive, leading to extension/contraction of the helical pitch. On the other hand, in the case of the light stimulus, it was analyzed that the light-induced ring-closure of the photoactive dithienylethene units created a geometric distortion causing the helicenic wings to bend outward from the helicene rim, which resulted in extension of the helical pitch. The photo-assisted (or thermal) reverse ring-opening reaction converted the system to its original conformation, thus enabling the helicene molecule to display spring-like reversible extension/contraction motion. The new insights on the reversible dynamic features of this class of heterohelicenes under the influence of external stress would guide crucial design principles of helicene-based molecular springs for potential applications. Sub-expanded flexible heterohelicenes were configured through a modular synthetic approach to experimentally demonstrate their capability of stimuli-controlled soft molecular spring-like behavior.![]()
