Abstract

A series of novel self-folded molecular rotors were synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, HRMS, and IR data. All but two compounds were also studied by X-ray crystallography.

Key words

self-folded - molecular rotors - CH/p interactions - ­molecular clips - diethoxycarbonyl glycoluril

Synthesis of 7; General Procedure
DMF and the aliphatic amines had to be freshly distilled or recrystallized under nitrogen. Compounds 4 and 5a-g were synthesized as reported previously.¹5 The intermediates 5h and 5i were then produced from 5g through Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. Thus, a suspension of 5 (5 mmol) in 37% aq formaldehyde (3.5 mL) and DMF (30 mL) was brought to reflux under magnetic stirring. A solution of aliphatic amine (5 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added slowly, dropwise (over 1 h) to the mixture. Refluxing was continued and the reaction was monitored by TLC. Upon completion, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the products were separated by column chromatography on silica gel (CHCl3-MeOH) to give compound 7 as a solid.
