A promising strategy involves the use of polyaromatic cavitands to achieve size and shape selectivity through their cavity. However, designing effective receptors for ammonium ions in aqueous media is challenging due to the competitive nature of water. Calix[5]arenes are known to selectively bind primary ammonium ions over secondary, tertiary, and quaternary ammonium ions in organic solvents. Here, we report on the binding properties of a calix[5]arene, which bears carboxyl groups on its small rim, in organic solvents and aqueous media. This receptor was transferred in water either through deprotonation of its carboxyl groups or by incorporation into dodecylphosphocholine micelles. <sup>1</sup>H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance data confirmed the <i>endo</i> complexation of various primary ammonium ions in not only organic solvents but also both aqueous media. Cavity-based selectivity was also observed, validating the cavitand strategy for the selective binding of ammonium ions in water. Unique binding properties, driven by the calix[5]arene’s intrinsic recognition ability and the hydrophobic effect, were observed in water. Notably, binding affinities for dopamine and lysine derivatives with log <i>K</i><sub>a</sub> values of >3.9 were determined. The direct solubilization of the receptor outperformed micellar incorporation due to the hydrophilic nature of the primary ammonium ions, which hinders their uptake into micelles. These results offer promising perspectives for the development of efficient chemosensors for the characterization of bioactive ammonium ions in water.","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, an effective and selective Ni-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with hydrazines with the liberation of ammonia gas is reported. Although several methods were documented for the <i>N</i>-alkylation reaction, the present strategy is conceptually novel, and the reaction proceeds through a pathway involving N–N bond cleavage of phenylhydrazine followed by hydrogen autotransfer. This unprecedented method demonstrates a wide substrate scope, allowing for the synthesis of C–N coupled products from arylhydrazines using various types of alcohols, including aryl, fused aryl, heteroaromatic, cyclic, and aliphatic alcohols, both primary and secondary alcohols. The present catalytic approach was expanded to facilitate selective deuterium incorporation reactions by employing deuterated alcohols at the α-methyl position of the resulting <i>N</i>-alkylated products. It is noteworthy that we have broadened the applicability of the current catalytic systems to facilitate the ketazine synthesis of hydrazine monohydrate by employing secondary alcohols. The reaction utilizes an inexpensive, abundant, and renewable alcohol that serves as both an alkylating and (transfer) hydrogenating agent. Kinetic studies reveal that the reaction rate depends on the concentration of arylhydrazine and the nickel catalyst, following fractional order.","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"148 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, carboxylic acids are employed as termini (versus prior phosphono- or phosphoester termini) in designs of <i>trans</i>-AB-porphyrins bearing a single swallowtail group (A) or <i>trans</i>-A<sub>2</sub>-porphyrins bearing two swallowtail groups. Variable-temperature <sup>1</sup>H NMR studies (−60 to 97 °C) revealed that the 4-heptanedioic acid group at the meso-position of the free base porphyrin rotates with rate constant 5 s<sup>–1</sup> (310 K) and Arrhenius energy barrier <i>E</i><sub>a</sub> = 11.5 kcal/mol, whereas an isopropyl group undergoes rotation ∼1000-times faster (<i>k</i> = 5770 s<sup>–1</sup>). The interconversion is sufficiently fast that conformational diastereomers, as when two such swallowtail groups are present in a <i>trans</i>-A<sub>2</sub>-porphyrin, would not be isolable at room temperature (Class I atropisomers). DFT calculations (4 porphyrins containing the isopropyl or 4-heptanedioic acid groups) showed that the lowest energy conformer contains the swallowtail C–H unit in the plane of the porphyrin. The presence of one or two 4-heptanedioic acid moieties imparted solubility of the porphyrin in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The results suggest applications in the life sciences where compact, aqueous-soluble porphyrins are desired.","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.354,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
