Macrocyclic compounds, structure

The organization of Part Two is according to structural type. The first section, Chapter Seven, is concerned with the synthesis of macrocyclic compounds. Syntheses of a number of heterocyclic target structures appear in Chapter Eight. Sesquiterpenoids and polycyclic higher isoprenoids are dealt with in Chapters Nine and Ten, respectively. The remainder of Part Two describes syntheses of prostanoids (Chapter Eleven) and biologically active acyclic polyenes including leukotrienes and other eicosanoids (Chapter Twelve).

Calixarenes, which are macrocyclic compounds, are one of the best building blocks to design molecular hosts in supramolecular chemistry [158]. Synthesis of calix[4]arenes, which have been adamantylated, has been reported [105, 109]. In calix[4]arenes, adamantane or its ester/carboxylic acid derivatives were introduced as substituents (Fig. 29). The purpose of this synthesis was to learn how to employ the flexible chemistry of adamantane in order to construct different kinds of molecular hosts. The X-ray structure analysis of p-(l-adamantyl)thiacalix[4]arene [109] demonstrated that it contained four CHCI3 molecules, one of which was located inside the host molecule cavity, and the host molecule assumed the cone-like conformational shape (Fig. 30).

No free PDMSX should be found in these systems however, unreacted starting novolac will be present. Hence, each copolymer system consisted of a blend of novolac resin and novolac-PDMSX copolymer. Hie structure of these copolymer systems is complex. Since all phenolic groups possess equal reactivity towards silylamine groups, the difunctional PDMSX may react anywhere between two novolac chains (an A-B-A triblock species) or twice with the same novolac molecule. The second reaction type would yield a macrocyclic compound whose size would depend upon the proximity of the two phenolic groups to one another. 

The H NMR spectra of the compounds 273a and 274a as Bp4 salts appearing in equation 92 (Section VII.C.8), show die chemical shifts expected for the aromatic protons in the various types of aromatic systems present in these compounds ". NOESY of the macrocyclic compound 262 (equation 90, Section VII.C.3) points to interaction between the Me protons of the f-Bu groups and the remote methine protons. This is in accordance with the structure as determined from single crystal XRD of this compound ". ... 

Macrocyclic compounds containing three peroxo groups were synthesized by different routes. The structure of three such compounds (263-265) was determined by singlecrystal XRD analysis. The two 13-membered macrocycles (263 and 264) adopt a 5-3-5 triangular conformation with a peroxo group on the short leg the 16-membered one (265) adopts a 5-3-5-3 rectangular conformation, as opposed to the 4-4-4-4 square conformation of cyclohexadecane °.

Structurally related to these species are the triply branched compound 56+ and its rotaxanes 66+, 76+, and 86+ (Fig. 13.6)9, in which one, two, or three acceptor units are encircled by the electron donor macrocyclic compound 2. Although these rotaxanes cannot behave as degenerate molecular shuttles because of their branched topology, they are nevertheless interesting from the electrochemical viewpoint. 

Andersen prepared the first U amide traHj-[UO2 N(SiMe3)2 2(thf)2] (60) in 1979, from UO2CI2 and 2Na[N(SiMe3)2] in f. The structure of the ciystalline material was confirmed by X-ray data, albeit of poor quality recently a high-quality structure was obtained. The amido groups in 60 were readily displaced by treatment with ArOH and pyridine, yielding [UO2(OAr)2(py)3] (Ar = C6H3P 2-2,6). Reaction of 60 with the macrocyclic compound H4(10) (R = H or Me) resulted in the exclusive formation of the mono-uranyl complex [UO2 H2(10) (thf)] (61). " The latter upon addition of... 

The metal-promoted reactions of 1,2-dihydrazones with formaldehyde (see Scheme 35) can be compared with the purely organic reactions of 1,2-dihydrazones with orthoesters, which lead directly to macrocyclic compounds from which complexes of structural type (85) can be prepared.189190... 

From the ring opening of p-lactams by amines and a-amino acids, p-amino amides and fi-amino acid derived peptides are generated. These structures are of interest because of their presence in several naturally occurring macrocyclic compounds [82, 83]. One example of the latter is the p-hydroxy aspartic acid derived tripeptide 45 found in the macrocyclic peptide lactone antibiotic lysobactin 40 [84], Fig. 4.

Additionally to the theoretical data and synthetic techniques for various metal complexes presented in Chaps. 2-A, we would like to pay special attention to three kinds of coordination compounds (complexes of phthalocyanines, quinones, and radioactive elements), whose syntheses, in our opinion, have been insufficiently generalized in monographs and textbooks on synthetic coordination chemistry. This choice is caused by the facts that phthalocyanines, as n-aromatic macrocyclic compounds, possess unusual thermal stability (nonstandard for organic and organometallic species) the quinone complexes have free-radical properties and coordination and organometallic compounds of radioactive elements are interesting at least for the reasons of necessity of special precautions in their syntheses and applications in the nuclear industry and nuclear medicine. So, this chapter is dedicated to the peculiarities of structure and properties and the main synthetic procedures for the complexes above.
