Abstract

Several 1:1 and 2:2 oligomeric forms of piperazinophanes with oxa–aza intraannular functionalities and containing various bicyclic ring systems as spacer units were prepared by a one-pot method under simple and mild conditions through a multicomponent reaction strategy involving a Mannich reaction. All the piperazinophanes exhibited absorption maxima in the range 242–356 nm and emission bands between 432 and 501 nm. The photophysical behaviors of the piperazinophanes and their binding properties for 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane, ethylene-1,1,2,2-tetracarbonitrile, and paraquat were examined.

  • 27 Precyclophane Diynes 13–16; General Procedure A mixture of the appropriate dihydroxy compound 912 (0.5 g, 3.1 mmol), HC≡CCH2Br (0.61 mL 6.86 mmol), and K2CO3 (2.15 g 15.6 mmol) in DMF (15 mL) was stirred for 48 h at r.t. When the reaction was complete, the mixture was poured into H2O and extracted with CHCl3 (3 × 100 mL). The organic phases were combined, washed with brine (2 × 50 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and filtered. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography [silica gel CHCl3–MeOH (9:1)]. 2,7-Bis(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)naphthalene (13) Prepared from naphthalene-2,7-diol (9; 0.5 g, 3.1 mmol) as a white solid; yield: 0.41 g (82%); mp 194 °C; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 2.56 (t, J = 2.4 Hz, 2 H); 4.79 (d, J = 2.1 Hz, 4 H); 7.04–7.07 (m, 4 H); 7.46 (d, J = 2.1 Hz, 2 H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 55.8, 75.7, 78.5, 107.0, 116.6, 125.1, 129.4, 135.4, 156.2; ESI-MS: m/z = 236 [M+]; Anal.
