Article Abstract

DFT calculations are used to disclose the mechanism of Brønsted base-mediated cyclization of (2-alkynylbenzyl)oxy nitriles for the synthesis of benzofuroazepines. In 2015, the synthesis of substituted benzofuroazepines was reported by Zeni a stepwise mechanism known as 7-. However, DFT calculations revealed that the anionic aza 8π-electrocyclization is more favorable than the proposed 7- mechanism.

The nanoscale environment within the void spaces of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can significantly influence the photoredox catalytic activity of encapsulated visible-light photoredox catalysts (PCs). To compare two isostructural PC@In-MOF systems, three cationic Ru(II) polypyridine complexes were successfully encapsulated within the mesoscale channels of the anionic framework of InTATB (HTATB = 4,4',4''--triazine-2,4,6-triyltribenzoic acid), which features a doubly interpenetrated framework structure. This encapsulation yielded three heterogenized visible-light PCs, RuL@InTATB, where L = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or 2,2'-bipyrazine (bpz).

We have prepared a series of strongly fluorescent NO-bis (phenolate) aza-dipyrromethene dyes incorporating boron (aza-BODIPY), aluminum (aza-ALDIPY), gallium (aza-GADIPY), and indium (aza-INDIPY). These compounds were oxidized both chemically and electrochemically to give diradical molecules - with an open-shell singlet ground state and a thermally accessible triplet excited state. The ground state behavior of these diradical molecules was confirmed by a wide array of magnetic spectroscopies, including variable-temperature H NMR, EPR, and SQUID.

Boron(III) subphthalocyanine analogues with enhanced electron affinity in the presence of water undergo hydrolytic cleavage of the macrocycle and deborylation, resulting in formation of noncyclic aza-bridged tris-isoindoles, which are fused derivatives of 5,10-diazatripyrrines (). Spectral data, kinetic studies, and DFT results allow us to suggest a plausible mechanism of formation, which includes nucleophilic addition of water to one of the CN bonds and its rupture as a key stage. This reaction is possible for perhalogenated or/and azasubstituted boron(III) subphthalocyanine analogues and occurs especially easily for hexachlorinated tripyrazinosubporphyrazinatoboron(III) chloride, affording the corresponding 14-amino-5,10-diazatripyrrin-1-one [] bearing fused dichloropyrazine fragments in each pyrrole unit.

The new redox-active title compound, CHNO ·2PF ·2CHN, a 2,2-bi-pyridine derivative tethered to two -methyl-pyridinium moieties as electron reservoirs, was synthesized and structurally characterized by H NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of the divalent bpy cation together with a [PF] anion and a CHCN mol-ecule. The cation is completed by inversion symmetry.

The solid-state structure of the title salt, CHNO·CHO {systematic name: [2-(4-hy-droxy-1-indol-3-yl)eth-yl]bis-(propan-2-yl)aza-nium (2)-3-carb-oxy-prop-2-enoate}, is reported. In the extended structure, the hydro-fumarate anions form linear chains propagating in the [100] direction through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds that combine with the tryptammonium cations to generate a three-dimensional network linked by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
