Using the example of aminomethylene derivatives of resorc[4]arene and their Michael reaction with 4-hydroxycoumarin, the possibility of transferring an amine molecule from substrate to product is demonstrated. The conformation of the aminocoumarin derivatives of resorc[4]arene formed is controlled by the polarity of the solvent. For one of the products, conformational analysis was performed by kinetic sampling using metadynamics (MTD). The energies of the final set of conformers were calculated by DFT (r2scan-3c). A reaction mechanism based on multiscale (ONIOM) Nudged Elastic Band (NEB-TS) reaction profile calculations is discussed.

One of the main problems in the development of immunosensors is to overcome the complexity of binding antibodies to the sensor surface. Most immobilizing methods lead to a random orientation of antibodies with a lower binding site density and immunoaffinity. In order to control the orientation of antibody immobilization, several resorc[4]arene derivatives were designed and synthesized.

The stereochemical features of 2,8,14,20-tetrakis(D-leucyl-D-valinamido)resorc[4]arenecarboxylic acid and the N-succinyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-prolyl-L-phenylalanine-4-nitroanilide polypeptide substrate were investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Proton selective relaxation parameters gave the basis for the inhibitory activity of resorcin[4]arene in the hydrolysis of the polypeptide substrate by α-chymotrypsin. Results showed that an interaction between the resorcin[4]arene and α-chymotrypsin does occur, and involves the hydrophobic moiety of the macrocycle.

Resorc[4]arenes 1 and 2, which previously proved to entrap NO(+) cation within their cavities under conditions of host-to-guest excess, were treated with a 10-fold excess of NOBF4 salt in chloroform. Kinetic and spectral UV-visible analyses revealed the formation of isomeric 1:2 complexes as a direct evolution of the previously observed event. Accordingly, three-body 1-(NO(+))2 and 2-(NO(+))2 adducts were built by MM and fully optimized by DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory.
