Published: June 2007

Ketocalix[6]arene 2e was prepared by CrO3 oxidation of the methylene groups of 2a, followed by hydrolysis of the acetate groups. 2e undergoes intramolecular SNAr reactions under the usual methylation conditions (MeI, base), yielding mono- and dixanthone calixarene derivatives.

A cascade transformation of C2-quaternary indoxyls leading to an efficient assembly of complex (dihydro)indolo[1,2-]quinolin-5-one ring systems is reported. The method involves the gram-scale preparation of 2-(2-aryl-3-oxoindolin-2-yl)-2-phenylacetonitriles which are then converted with methyl ketones to the corresponding 2-(2-oxo-2-aryl(alkyl)ethyl)-2-phenylindolin-3-ones. The latter can either be isolated with good yields (75-96%) or, in the case of -nitroacetophenone, used for further base-assisted intramolecular SAr cyclization resulting in indoxyl-fused quinolone-4 hybrids (up to 95%).

Article Synopsis
  • π-Extended donor-acceptor (D-A)-type molecules possess special optical properties that allow for unique behaviors in detection due to intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanisms.
  • This review highlights three types of D-A-type molecules that serve as detection reagents for methanol, amino acids in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), and amines in biological contexts.
  • These methods include differentiating methanol from ethanol using guanidine moieties, a novel colorimetric approach for detecting amines via acid-base reactions during SPPS, and a turn-on amine-labeling reagent for protein staining in living cells.

An unprecedented metal-free synthesis of fused quinoxaline 1,5-disubstituted-[1,4]-diazepine hybrids have been reported under mild conditions through a domino intermolecular SAr followed by an internal nucleophile-triggered intramolecular SAr pathway. Our strategy offers the flexibility for the introduction of a broad variety of functionalities at the N-1 position of fused diazepine moiety by using suitable diamine tails to design structurally diverse scaffolds. The DNA binding properties of representative quinoxaline diazepine hybrids were studied using UV-vis absorbance and EtBr displacement assay and were found to be governed by the functionalities at the N-1 position.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers synthesized 5,18-Dimesitylorangarin and its BF complex using a double SAr reaction, marking them as the first examples of meso-aryl-substituted orangarin.
  • The resultant orangarins are identified as strongly antiaromatic [20]pentaphyrins that exhibit a surprising level of stability.
  • These compounds show distinct electronic properties, with varied absorption spectra and rapid excited-state decays, indicating complex interactions within their molecular structures.
