By Theophil Eicher and Siegfried Hauptmann, Wiley-VCH Veriag GmbH, 2003 1 110 5 Five-Membered Heterocycles The indole ring system forms the basis of several pharmaceuticals, for instance the anti-inflammatory indomethacin 54 and the antidepressant iprindole 55: MeO, I CH2— C H 2— C H 2— N M e 2 55 Indigo and other dyes (see p 81) which contain the chromophore 56 O x - ,X = N H o r S , ( E ) - o r ( Z ) - , 56 are known as indigoid dyes, and are vat dyes. These water-insoluble compounds are reduced by sodium dithionite and sodium hydroxide and applied as vat dyes, whereby they become soluble as disodium dihydro compounds, e.g.: ^2H,2NaOH -2H20 Before the availability of sodium dithionite (1871), the reduction of indigo was brought about by bacte- ria with reducing properties (fermentation vat). The vat of indigo has a brown-yellow colour. The cloth is dipped in the vat and then exposed to air to allow reoxidation to indigo which is precipitated and finely distributed onto the fibre. A consequence of this process is the low rubbing fastness of the dyes. It causes the faded appearance of indigo-dyed jeans and makes possible the manufacture of 'faded jeans'. Since the seventies, indole compound5.14s Isoindolehave lost their importance as textile dyes. They have, how- ever, found application in other fields, e.g. in polaroid photography.

Bogachenkov 1 and Valentine P. Ananikov 1,2,* ID 1 Saint Petersburg State University, Universitetsky Prospect, 26, St. Petersburg 198504, Russia; [email protected] (K.S.R.); [email protected] (A.S.B.) 2 Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Science, Leninsky Prospect, 47, Moscow 119991, Russia * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 February 2018; Accepted: 9 March 2018; Published: 13 March 2018 Abstract: We developed a simple and efficient strategy to access N-vinyl secondary amines of various naturally occurring materials using readily available solid acetylene reagents (calcium carbide, KF, and KOH). Pyrrole, pyrazole, indoles, carbazoles, and diarylamines were successfully vinylated in good yields. Cross-linked and linear polymers were synthesized from N-vinyl carbazoles through free radical and cationic polymerization. Post-modification of olanzapine (an antipsychotic drug substance) was successfully performed. Keywords: acetylene; calcium carbide; vinylation; olanzapine; functionalization 1. Introduction Nitrogen-containing compounds are one of the most important functional molecules in modern chemistry, biology, and drug development. Nucleic acids, N-heterocyclic compounds, amines, amino-acids, and their biopolymers are pivotal to a vast majority of biochemical processes. Effective modification of secondary amines by the insertion of a vinyl group leads to demanded N-vinyl derivatives with a variety of new applications. Vinylated products are interesting both as biologically active cores [1] and as versatile building blocks for polymerization [2]. At the same time, carbazole-based compounds are considered promising as photoconductors and charge-transporting materials [3] in the aftermath of the discovery of photoconductivity in poly(N-vinylcarbazole) [4].

Abstract: The photophysical properties of closo-ortho-carboranyl-based donor–acceptor dyads are known to be affected by the electronic environment of the carborane cage but the influence of the elec- tronic environment of the donor moiety remains unclear. Herein, four 9-phenyl-9H-carbazole-based closo-ortho-carboranyl compounds (1F, 2P, 3M, and 4T), in which an o-carborane cage was appended at the C3-position of a 9-phenyl-9H-carbazole moiety bearing various functional groups, were syn- thesized and fully characterized using multinuclear nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the solid-state molecular structures of 1F and 4T were determined by X-ray diffraction crystallography. For all the compounds, the lowest-energy absorption band Citation: Lee, S.H.; Lee, J.H.; exhibited a tail extending to 350 nm, attributable to the spin-allowed π–π* transition of the 9-phenyl- Mun, M.S.; Yi, S.; Yoo, E.; Hwang, H.; 9H-carbazole moiety and weak intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) between the o-carborane and Lee, K.M.

Theoretical parameters such as aromaticity indices (HOMA and SA), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and atomic charges have been calculated using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Calculated pKa values indicate that there is generally good agreement with experimental data, with all deviations being less than the acceptable error for a directly calculated pKa values. The M062X functional combined to SMD solvation model provide the more accurate pKa values.

  • Synthesis of Carbazoles from N-(N,N-Diarylamino)Phthalimides with Aluminum Chloride Via Diarylnitrenium Ions

Chem. 2001, 66, 8612-8615 Synthesis of Carbazoles from N-(N,N-Diarylamino)phthalimides with Aluminum Chloride via Diarylnitrenium Ions Yasuo Kikugawa,* Yutaka Aoki, and Takeshi Sakamoto Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Josai University, 1-1 Keyakidai, Sakado, Saitama 350-0295, Japan [email protected] Received September 17, 2001 Generation of diarylnitrenium ions from N-(N,N-diarylamino)phthalimides by treatment with AlCl3 in benzene or in 1,2-dichloroethane leads to formation of carbazoles by intramolecular C-C bond formation. The reaction proceeds in synthetically useful yields. Introduction Scheme 1 From the extensive work of Gassman and his group, the nitrenium ion has received increasing attention from synthetic, theoretical, and biological perspectives.1 How- ever, despite the potential utility of the nitrenium ion as an electrophilic nitrogen, its synthetic applications re- main limited, mainly because it is a short-lived reaction intermediate. Previously, we reported that N-phenylaminophthal- imide reacts with AlCl3 in benzene to generate a phen- ylnitrenium ion that is trapped by benzene to give o- and p-aminobiphenyls and N-phenylaniline.2 On the other hand, with N-(N-methyl-N-phenylamino)phthalimide, the cleavage of the N-N bond results in a positive charge exclusively on the para position of the methylamino group, and 4-methylaminobiphenyl was obtained in 91% yield.3 In an extension of this work, we now have investigated the reaction of N-(N,N-diarylamino)phthal- imides (1) with AlCl3 in benzene, with the expectation that AlCl3-mediated cleavage of the N-N bond might give 4 a diarylnitrenium ion.

  • Synthesis and Characterization of New Conjugated Polymers for Application in Solar Cells
    Synthesis and Characterization of New Conjugated Polymers for Application in Solar Cells Mohd Sani Bin Sarjadi A thesis submitted to The University of Sheffield as partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2014 Declaration This thesis is submitted for the degree of doctorate of philosophy (PhD) at the University of Sheffield, having been submitted for no other degree. It records the research carried out the University of Sheffield from November 2009 to October 2014. It is entirely my original work, unless where referenced. Signed:…………………………………………………….. 15 OCTOBER 2014 Date:…………………………………………………… i Abstract Plastic photovoltaic devices based on solution processed conjugated polymers have attracted much attention as potential candidates for the next generation of solar cells. Polymer solar cells based on blends of conjugated polymer donors and molecular acceptors such as PCBM (often referred to as bulk heterojunction solar cells) are attracting a great deal of interest. These systems have potential technological value due to their ease of fabrication and their relatively low production costs. This enabled devices to be produced that have solar power conversion efficiencies approaching 9%. The purpose of this research project is to develop new and more efficient materials for application in this area. A new class of alternating copolymers comprising carbazole units and thieno‐thiophene units for application in the area of bulk heterojunction solar cells is presented in this contribution. The polymers were prepared using Suzuki coupling methods. Three main classes of such polymers were prepared. The first class of polymers P1 ‐ P3 consisted of alternating co‐ polymers comprising thienothiophene repeat units and either 2,7‐linked 9‐alkyl carbazole units P1, or 2,7‐linked‐9‐alkyl carbazole repeat units with fluorine substituents at their 3,6‐ positions P2, or 2,7‐linked‐9,9‐dioctylfluorene P3.
