Williams DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Sciences and Humanities DATE: July 2011 PAGES: 65 It has been shown that photolysis of 4-azidopyridine N-oxide yields the singlet nitrene, which undergoes intersystem crossing at room temperature to generate triplet 4nitrenopyridine N-oxide. The room temperature photochemistry is dominated by triplet nitrene chemistry leading to the formation of the azo-dimer. This unusual behavior is a result of selective stabilization of the lowest singlet state of the nitrene by the N-oxide group. In this study, we wish to investigate the effect of complexation of the N-oxide group with a metal cation on the kinetics and reactivity of 4-nitrenopyridine N-oxide and related compounds. It is envisaged that complexation will alter the polarity of the N-oxide bond making it less capable of spin delocalization in the nitrene. Complexation may be achieved through two different methods: complexation with cations in aqueous salt solutions and complexation of cations inside crown ethers. Crown ethers provide useful models due to the selectivity of complexation with different ions based on ring size and slower diffusion of cations away from the N-oxide group. Progress toward the multi-step synthesis of crown ethers containing the 4azidopyridine N-oxide substructure is described herein. ii Table of Contents Page # List of Schemes List of Figures List of Tables Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 iv v v Introduction 1.1 An Overview of the Chemistry of Azides 1.2 Arylnitrenes 1.2.1 Substituted Phenylnitrenes 1.2.2 Nitrenopyridine N-oxides 1.3 Crown Ethers and Synthetic Targets 1 5 8 11 16 Experimental Methods 2.1 Materials 2.2 Instrumentation 2.3 Experimental Methods 19 19 20 Results and Discussion 3.1 Synthetic Strategies 3.2 Synthesis of 4-bromo-2,6-pyridinedimethanol 3.3 Synthesis of Compound 5 3.4 Synthesis of Compound 6 3.5 Synthesis of Compound 7 3.6 Attempts to Incorporate the Azido- group 27 28 31 32 35 38 Bibliography Appendix A 41 Experimental Spectra 44 iii List of Schemes Page # Chapter 1 Introduction Scheme 1.1 Scheme 1.2 Scheme 2 Scheme 3 Scheme 4 Scheme 5 Azide formation via diazonium salts Azide formation via nucleophilic substitution Azide reduction to form a primary amine 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of organic azides Photolysis/thermolysis of phenyl azide to form phenylnitrene Four candidate structures of reactive intermediate formed in photolysis of phenyl azide Mechanism of phenyl azide thermo- and photochemistry Effect of o-substitution on cyclization reactions of phenylnitrene Potential mechanism of the photolysis of 4-azidopyridine N-oxide Iminyl-aminoxyl biradical stabilization of 4-nitrenopyridine Noxide Low temperature Photoproducts of 3-azidopyridine N-oxide Proposed Retrosynthetic Scheme for 4-azido-2,6-pyrido-18crown-6 N-oxide Scheme 6 Scheme 7 Scheme 8 Scheme 9 Scheme 10 Scheme 11 Chapter 3 Results and Discussion Scheme 12 Scheme 13 Scheme 14 Scheme 15 Scheme 16 Scheme 17 Scheme 18 Scheme 19 Scheme 20 Scheme 21 Retrosynthesis of 2,6-pyrido-18-crown-6 derivative 6 Synthesis of Compound 1 Synthesis of Compound 2 Synthesis of Compound 3 Synthesis of Compound 4 Synthesis of Compound 5 Attempted Syntheses of Compound 6 Attempted Syntheses of Compound 7 Attempted Synthesis of Compound 8 Synthesis of 19-azido-3,6,9,12,15-pentaoxa-21azabicyclo[15.3.1]-henicosa-1(21),17,19-triene (9) iv 1 1 2 2 4 7 8 10 12 13 14 18 27 28 29 30 30 31 32 35 38 39 List of Figures Page # Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Strucutre of AZT Four candidate structures of reactive intermediate formed in photolysis of phenyl azide Effect of o-substitution on cyclization reactions of phenylnitrene Azido-functionalized cryptand Chapter 3 Results and Discussion Figure 5 NMR Comparison of 6 & 7 3 6 15 17 35 List of Tables Page # Chapter 1 Introduction Table 1 Summary of Calculated EST for Nitrenes (kcal/mol) v 12 Chapter 1 – Introduction 1.1 An Overview of the Chemistry of Azides Organic azides (with azido functional group –N3) have received a great deal of attention in the literature as important synthetic intermediates due to their relative ease of formation and their useful reactivity. Two of the most common forms of azide formation are via diazonium salts or nucleophilic subsitution.1 Aryl diazonium salts react with azide ions without the use of catalysts to form the corresponding aryl azide (Scheme 1). Generally, alkali metal azides or trimethylsilyl azides act as the azide source. N 1. N NaN3 N3 + NaX + N2 X 2. R X + NaN3 R N3 Scheme 1: (1) Azide formation via diazonium salts. (2) Azide formation via nucleophilic substitution 2 Nucleophilic substitution (via SN1 or SN2) to form alkyl azides is often favorable due to the high nucleophilicity of the azide ion (Scheme 1), and its low to moderate basicity (pKa HN3 = 7-9).2 The most common azide source is sodium azide, although others can be used. Leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halides, carboxylates, and sulfonates.3 Azides are synthetically useful in reactions involving 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions and formation of primary amines. Primary amines can be generated from the reduction of an azide (Scheme 2).3 A wide range of different reducing agents can be used, including LiAlH4, NaBH4, and H2/catalyst. R N N [H] N R NH2 Scheme 2: Azide reduction to form a primary amine 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions are commonly used in synthetic organic chemistry as a method to generate heterocyclic ring systems from a variety of substrates (1,3-dipoles), including azides (Scheme 3).4 R R N3 + H N N R N3 + H N N N X H R R N X X N N H N X X R H N N X Scheme 3: 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of organic azides N H 3 Alkenes or alkynes can be used as the dipolarophile, but all that is essential is a π bond. The reaction proceeds via stereospecific syn-addition to yield 1,2,3-triazolines from alkenes, and triazoles from alkynes. Reaction is often facilitated by the addition of a copper salt as catalyst: so-called “click” chemistry.5,6 When both the 1,3-dipole and the dipolarophile are unsymmetrical, two possible products can be generated: 1,4- and 1,5regioisomers. It may be shown that both steric and electronic factors play a role in determining regioselectivity, but frontier orbital interactions are often dominant factors. Typically, the most energetically favorable orientation in the transition state is that which involves complementary interaction between the frontier orbitals of the 1,3-dipole and the dipolarophile.4 The most common additions are those dominated by interactions between the LUMO of the dipolarophile and the HOMO of the 1,3-dipole, but reactions dominated by opposite interactions (“inverse-demand”) are also possible. Azides are not limited to the role of synthetic intermediate, but may be a useful functional group in its own right. The azido- group has been investigated as a potential pharmacophore: one specific organic azide, 3’-Azido-2’,3’-dideoxythymidine (AZT, Figure 1), has received a great deal of attention due to its antiretroviral activity.7 O NH HO N O O N3 Figure 1: Structure of AZT 4 AZT was the first approved treatment for HIV/AIDS therapy introduced in the early 1990’s. It slows the spread of HIV by inhibiting the reverse transcription process in replication. The azido group increases the lipophilic nature of AZT, allowing it to diffuse across cell membranes and cross the blood-brain barrier. AZT does not completely stop the spread of the virus, so it is combined with other anti-viral drugs to help prevent the chance of resistance. Another application of azides is in the form of sources of high energy nitrogen. For example, glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) is studied as a potential source of high-energy nitrogen in solid propellant.8 GAP acts as a propellant fuel-binder in the mixture of fuel and oxidizer, that when mixed, create a high-energy explosive. Aryl azides have also received a lot of attention due to their relatively high stability and ability to act as thermo- and photochemical precursors of nitrenes (Scheme 4).9 Nitrenes are short-lived, highly reactive species that contain a nitrogen atom with only six electrons in its valence shell. N3 hv ! N Scheme 4: Photolysis/thermolysis of phenyl azide to form phenylnitrene Applications of the nitrene chemistry of aryl azides include organic synthesis of azepine derivatives,10 in the formation of electrically conducting polymers, and in photoaffinity labeling.9 Photoaffinity labeling is a method of covalently binding chemical tags to the active sites of protein molecules.11 A labeling reagent is converted by photolysis to a reactive intermediate and specifically binds to the active site at the instant of photolysis. 5 The role and structure of aryl nitrenes in these reactions has been studied for many years, but a clearer understanding of these systems emerged in more recent years with the application of laser flash photolysis (LFP),12 low temperature matrix isolated IR,13 low temperature glassy matrix EPR,14 and high-level ab initio molecular orbital (MO) calculations. 1.2 Aryl Nitrenes Arylnitrenes are highly reactive, short-lived intermediates generated by the decomposition of aryl azides. They have six valence electrons that can exist in four different possible electronic states (Figure 2, overleaf): triplet, open-shell singlet, and two closed-shell singlet states. The lone pair of electrons that exists in all states occupy a hybrid orbital rich in 2s character. The triplet and open-shell singlet state have two nonbonding electrons that both occupy pure 2p orbitals, differentiated by their spins. The triplet state has two unpaired electrons with parallel spins, whereas the open-shell singlet state has two unpaired electrons with opposite spins. Of the 2p orbitals, one is a 2pπ orbital that may overlap with the π -system in the aromatic ring, and the other is a p orbital that lies in the plane of the ring. The two different closed-shell singlet states have paired electrons and are generally viewed as a linear combination of two canonical forms; either the paired electrons lie in the in-plane p orbital or the 2pπ orbital.9 6 Figure 2: Energy level diagram for the electronic states of a nitrene The triplet state is considered the ground state and is lowest in energy followed by the open-shell singlet state, with the closed-shell singlet state highest in energy. Calculations indicate that the singlet-triplet energy gap (EST) for phenylnitrene (the archetype system) is approximately 14.8 kcal/mol.15 Early studies of the photolysis of phenyl azide in solution produced a polymeric tar.7 In the presence of primary and secondary amines formation of azepine (5) was observed. A reactive intermediate (C6H5N) was postulated to be trapped in the presence of diethylamine, but the structure was unclear for many years. From the product distributions obtained, four candidate structures were proposed (Scheme 5): singlet 7 nitrene (1), triplet nitrene (2), benzazirine (3), aza-1,2,4,6-heptatetraene (cyclic ketenimine, 4). 1N N3 3N N N NHEt2 h! 1 2 3 4 N 5 NEt2 Scheme 5: Four candidate structures of reactive intermediate formed in photolysis of phenyl azide With the development of research techniques, a clearer mechanistic picture (Scheme 6) has been developed describing the photochemistry and thermochemistry of phenyl azide.9 Upon photolysis (or thermolysis), singlet nitrene (1) is formed. At temperatures above 165K, cyclization to benzazirine 3 is favored, followed by rapid ring-opening to cyclic ketenimine 4, typically the major trappable reactive intermediate in solution at room temperature. In the absence of good nucleophiles, 4 undergoes polymerization. At temperatures below 165K, intersystem crossing (ISC) to triplet nitrene 2 (which is a temperature independent process) becomes dominant relative to cyclization (a temperature dependent process with a non-zero activation barrier). ISC is a slow process because spin-flip from opposite electron spins to matching spins is formally spinforbidden. ISC is followed by dimerization of the nitrene or reaction of triplet nitrene with starting azide to form azobenzene. 8 N 1N N3 kexp kcyc (kR) hv N >165K 3 1 4 HNEt2 <165K kisc 3N NH 2 NEt2 dimerizes N N N 5 NEt2 Scheme 6: Mechanism of phenyl azide thermo- and photochemistry 1.2.1 Substituted Phenylnitrenes After gaining a better understanding of the mechanism for phenyl azide photochemistry, substitution effects were studied using nitrene and ketenimine transient absorption spectra in the near-UV/ visible region.9 Values for kOBS (the observed rate coefficient for the decay of singlet nitrene and/or the growth of products) were measured by the decay or growth of absorbance at the λmax of the transient species as a function of temperature. Construction of an Arrhenius plot for kOBS with 1/T shows a region of 9 linearity where cyclization and ring expansion (singlet nitrene chemistry) dominates; which becomes non-linear and effectively temperature independent at lower temperatures, where triplet chemistry dominates (Scheme 6). This value is associated with temperature- independent rate of intersystem crossing, with rate coefficient kISC. The location and type of substituent has shown to affect rates of cyclization or ISC in different ways: p-Substitution of phenylnitrene can enhance kISC depending on the nature of the substituent.9 Heavy atom effect, observed with bromo or iodo groups, increases kISC by a factor of greater than 20 relative to phenylnitrene.9 Heavy atom effect is the enhancement of the rate of a spin-forbidden process, due to significant spin-orbit coupling in an atom of high atomic number and therefore large orbital angular momentum.15 Strong π -donors, such as methoxy or dimethylamino groups, also increase kISC by 2-3 orders of magnitude. The mechanism by which these enhancements occur is not clearly understood. Substituents such as methyl, trifluoromethyl, acetyl, fluoro, and chloro, are not sufficiently strong π-donors or acceptors to significantly influence kISC. Under some circumstances o- and m-substitution can enhance kISC as well, and the degree of enhancement again depends on the substituent.9 For example, mono and di-ofluoro substitution on phenyl nitrene have shown to have no influence on ISC, whereas di-o-cyano substitution slightly accelerates kISC. An o-methyl accelerates ISC by a factor of approximately 3, and di-o-methyl has an even greater effect.9 In the case of p-substitution and rate of cyclization/rearrangement (characterized by rate coefficient kR), large substitutent effects are not anticipated due to the distance of substituents from the nitrene.9 Substituents such as methyl, trifluoromethyl, halogens, 10 and acetyl have little influence on kR. The effects of strong π-donating groups were impossible to study due to faster kISC than kR at all temperatures. p-phenyl and cyano groups depress kR and retard the rate of cyclization significantly, due to their radical stabilizing properties. The substituents withdraw spin density from the ring, making cyclization, which may be envisaged as an internal biradical coupling, less favored. Photolysis of different o-alkyl substituted phenyl azides (methyl, ethyl, isopropyl) showed cyclization of the singlet nitrene toward the unsubstituted o-carbon, indicating that steric effects have an influence on the barrier to ring expansion (Scheme 7). 1N N N Scheme 7: Effect of o-substitution on cyclization reactions of phenylnitrene If the nitrogen atom moves away from the alkyl group to cyclize, steric strain is released between the two groups. Alternatively, o-cyano and o-acetylphenyl groups undergo cyclization both away from and toward the substituent. Cyclization away from the group can be attributed to steric effects, whereas cyclization toward the group can be attributed to spin localization electronic effects: localization of an unpaired electron at the carbon where the substituent is attached, favored by the radical stabilizing nature of these substitutents.9 Mono-substituted o-fluoro substitutents cause cyclization away from the group due to a combination of steric effects and the electronegativity of the fluorine atom. The electronegativity of fluorine also affects cyclization toward the group. If o,o- 11 difluoro substitution is present, ring expansion is inhibited and raises the barrier to cyclization approximately 3 kcal/mol relative to the unsubstituted system.9 1.2.2 Nitrenopyridine N-Oxides Azidoheteroaryl N-oxides, a subclass of aryl azides, have been studied due to their potential as antitumor agents.16 N-oxide groups are expected to enhance water solubility of these compounds, which may also be advantageous for potential photoaffinity agents. The 3- and 4-nitrenopyridine-1-oxide systems have been studied by LFP, matrix isolation IR and computational methods.17,18 If photolysis of 4-azidopyridine N-oxide proceeds in a similar manner as phenylnitrene, the nitrene could either cyclize or go through ISC to form the triplet (Scheme 8). Alternatively, reactions involving N-oxide photochemistry may be possible (since these groups are photoactive in their own right), but were not found to be significant in these systems. 12 1N N3 N N hv N N N O O O N O ISC 3N O N N N N O N O Scheme 8: Potential mechanism of the photolysis of 4-azidopyridine N-oxide. Experimental results showed that triplet nitrene chemistry is favored, even at room temperature; and no cyclization products were observed.17 The much smaller singlettriplet energy gap of 4-nitrenopyrdine N-oxide relative to phenylnitrene (Table 1) results in a modest enhanced rate of ISC.

Singlet state energies were estimated by the sum method of Johnson et al. [Ref. 19] 13 Calculations indicate the cyclization/ring expansion pathway is thermodynamically disfavored due to the effect of electron configuration. The open-shell singlet state is preferentially stabilized due to resonance contributors with iminyl-aminoxyl biradical character (Scheme 9), which increases the barrier to cyclization. From this it is reasonable to assume that a significant amount of spin density in the ring lies on the Noxide atoms. Diminution of spin density at sites o- to the nitreno group also makes cyclization less favorable. N N N N N N N N N N O O O O O Scheme 9: Iminyl-aminoxyl biradical stabilization of 4-nitrenopyridine N-oxide In the case of 3-nitrenopyridine N-oxide, different results are expected due to the positioning of the azide in the 3-position on the pyridine ring. At this position, stabilizing effects due to iminyl-aminoxyl biradical character are not present, so it is expected to behave more like a typical phenylnitrene. Calculation of EST for this species confirm that the splitting is similar in magnitude to that of phenylnitrene.18 At low temperature photolysis of 3-azidopyrdine 1-oxide, the triplet nitrene is obtained.18 With prolonged photolysis; the singlet state can be accessed, yielding cyclization and ring expansion products. These results are interesting in that both possible modes of cyclization are observed at low temperature, but that when cyclization occurs toward the N-oxide 14 moiety, the benzazirine analogue is more thermochemically favored than the ketenimine analog (Scheme 10), which is unusual for a simple monocyclic aryl nitrene.

O Scheme 10: Low temperature Photoproducts of 3-azidopyridine N-oxide LFP experiments at room temperature yield polymeric tar in the absence of a nucleophilic trap, but with the addition of diethylamine or dibutylamine, the intermediates can be quenched. The trapped nitrene product is highly photolabile making characterization difficult. Further study is needed to better understand products of the 3-azido species generated at room temperature and their photochemistry. In this study, we wish to investigate the effect of complexation of the N-oxide group with a metal cation on the kinetics and reactivity of 4-nitrenopyridine N-oxide and its analogs. It is envisaged that complexation will alter the polarity and polarizability of the N-oxide bond making it less capable of spin delocalization of the nitrene. This in turn 15 should alter the selective stabilization of the singlet nitrene by the N-oxide moiety, which in turn may alter the observed chemistry of this intermediate. It may also be possible that the effect of such species may not be limited to purely electrostatic interactions: complexation with large cations (which have large spin-orbit coupling interactions), may also result in enhanced rates of ISC. In addition, the association of a charge should decrease the likelihood of bimolecular chemistry (ie. dimerization of the triplet, or polymerization of the singlet) due to Coulombic repulsion, and so new modes of reactivity may be observed. In principle, complexation may be achieved through two different methods: complexation with cations in aqueous salt solutions and complexation of cations inside crown ethers (Figure 3). N3 N3 N O N O O M+ O M+ O O O Figure 3: Modes of complexation of cations with N-oxide Complexation in an aqueous salt solution is a less ideal method, because the metal cations can easily diffuse away from the N-oxide, therefore yielding inefficient complexation or too rapid exchange of cations. Crown ethers provide a more favorable 16 method for achieving complexation due to the ability of the crown to help slow diffusion of cations away from the N-oxide group. Also, selectivity of complexation with different cations can be achieved based on crown ether ring size. 1.3 Crown Ethers and Synthetic Targets Charles Pedersen at the DuPont Company discovered crown ethers in the early 1960’s.20 Simple crown ethers are named as X-crown-Y, with “X” denoting the total number of atoms in the crown and “Y” denoting the total number of oxygen atoms. An important characteristic of crown ethers is that they can complex with alkaline earth and alkali metals as well as ammonium ions, by providing a stabilizing solvation shell around these guest species. This type of interaction is known to enhance the solubility of inorganic salts in organic solvents, which allow many reactions to be performed under non-aqueous, aprotic conditions.20 In addition, the salvation of the cationic component of a salt effectively sequesters it from solution, leaving a “bare” counterion, that often exhibits enhanced reactivity toward organic substrates in solution.20 Crown ethers have been studied in their use to aid complexation of alkali cations with aryl nitrenes and their impact on nitrene chemistry.21,22 A series of cryptand-like molecules functionalized with intraannular azido groups (Figure 4) were studied using LFP. 17 N N N3 O O O Figure 4: Azido-functionalized cryptand Initially the singlet nitrene is formed and is reasonably long-lived (~1.4 µs) as a result of substitution in both o-positions.20 Di-substitution in o-positions are known to slow the rate of rearrangement, shown in the case of di-o-dimethylphenylazide which has a lifetime of ~12 ± 1 ns.9 At room temperature, ISC competes with rearrangement, and both singlet and triplet products are observed, which is an effect of isolating the nitrene moiety from readily reactive groups and not allowing it to cyclize. Experimental results showed that the binding of Na+ and K+ in these systems had minimal effect on these experimental outcomes.20,21 In the above studies, the authors were interested in the effect of direct complexation of the nitrene by cations on the nitrene chemistry. In our case, we are investigating the effect of complexation at a remote group (i.e. the N-oxide) on the observed chemistry of the nitrene. We want to incorporate an azidopyridine N-oxide moiety within a crown ether to help facilitate complexation with a metal cation. In the retrosynthesis of the azidopyridine N-oxide (Scheme 11), the azido group replaces a good leaving group (bromide). To form the N-oxide group, the nitrogen in the pyridine ring must be oxidized. It is postulated that these two steps could happen in 18 either order with similar results. The crown ether would be made from a glycol and a pyridine ring with bromomethyl (or other good leaving groups) substituents ortho- to the pyridine nitrogen.

Different crown ethers can be generated from larger glycols that would be more suitable for complexation with larger cations. This work describes progress toward the multi-step synthesis of 4-azido-2,6pyrido-18-crown-6 N-oxide, as an archetype of the indicated crown systems.

The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, heated under reflux for 15 h, and the solvent removed in vacuo. Saturated NaHCO3 (32 mL) was added to the residue and the mixture brought to a boil. Water (45 mL) was added and the mixture was cooled and allowed to stand overnight in the cold.

The typical approach involves the use of nucleophilic substitution, and two different synthon combinations can be employed to generate the target compound (Scheme 12). Br O O 5 A N Br O N Br O Br + O HO 6 O O O B Br + OH 4 Br O O O Br OH Scheme 12: Retrosynthesis of 2,6-pyrido-18-crown-6 derivative 6 OH 28 One pathway to crown ether 6 would start with a di(bromomethyl)pyridine derivative and react it with a diol (or its mono- or di-alkoxide, Scheme 12 route A). Alternatively, one may generate the mono- or di-alkoxide of a pyridine dimethanol, in the presence of a dihalo or disulfonato polyether derivative obtained from tetraethylene glycol (route B). Both methods have been successfully used to generate crown ethers in the past.31 4Bromo-2,6-pyridine dimethanol may be considered the common antecedent for both approaches. 3.2 Synthesis of 4-bromo-2,6-pyridinedimethanol 4-Bromo-2,6-pyridine dimethanol is a synthetically accessible species that may be prepared in good yield via a simple three-step procedure. Chelidonic acid (1) is generated from a Claisen condensation of acetone and 2 molar equivalents of ethyl oxalate in a two-step process (Scheme 13). O O O + O O O O O NaOEt EtOH CO2Et EtO2C H2O (HCl) HO2C O O 1 O OH CO2Et EtO2C OH Scheme 13: Synthesis of Compound 1 CO2H 29 The initial isolable Claisen product was found to exist predominantly as the dienol, rather than diketo tautomer in chloroform solution. The dienol underwent internal nucleophilic attack, leading to cyclization to form chelidonic acid, which precipitated from solution in sufficiently high purity that no additional purification was required. The crude product was dried in the oven to constant weight to yield 89% of the desired product. Chelidamic acid (2) is generated from the reaction of 1 and 10% aqueous ammonia in a one step process (Scheme 14). O OH NH3, HCl/H2O 95oC HO2C O CO2H HOOC 1 N 2 COOH Scheme 14: Synthesis of Compound 2 Chelidonic acid undergoes acid catalyzed aminolysis with ammonia to form the desired dicarboxylic acid. The crude product was precipitated using concentrated HCl and was dried in the oven to constant weight to remove water. The resulting solid was generated in good yield (97%) and was used without additional purification. Diethyl 4-bromo-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate (3) is generated from the reaction of chelidamic acid (2) with PBr5, and the resultant dicarbonyl bromide quenched with absolute ethanol (Scheme 15, overleaf). 30 Br OH 1.

EtOH HOOC N 2 N 3 EtOOC COOH COOEt Scheme 15: Synthesis of diester 3 Phosphorus pentabromide was generated by the reaction of phosphorus tribromide with bromine, and used directly without any additional purification. This is an SNAr reaction, favored by the conversion of hydroxide to a dibromophosphite leaving group by reaction with PBr5. The formed diacyl bromide is readily quenched in ethanol to yield the diester. The crude product was recrystallized from hexanes to produce white crystals (46% yield). 4-Bromo-2,6-pyridinedimethanol (4) is generated from the reaction of 3 with sodium borohydride in absolute ethanol (Scheme 16). Br Br 1. NaBH4, EtOH 2. Na2CO3/ H2O EtOOC N N COOEt 3 OH OH 4 Scheme 16: Synthesis of diol 4 In general, sodium borohydride is not considered a sufficiently strong reducing agent for carboxylic esters, but cases of successful reduction of aryl and pyridyl esters to primary alcohols have been reported.32 The product was isolated from the crude crystalline 31 precipitate by continuous (soxhlet) extraction with acetone over 24 hours. White crystals of compound 4 precipitated out of solution upon concentration in 68% yield. 3.3 Synthesis of Tribromide 5 At this point in the synthesis, the generation of crown ether 6 can proceed via two different methods. The pyridinedimethanol, 4, may be reacted with a dihalo or disulfonato polyether derivative of tetraethylene glycol to generate 6. The other option is to react a dibromomethylpyridine with tetraethylene glycol to generate 6 (see Scheme 12, above). In this synthesis, the di(halomethyl)pyridine/tetraethylene glycol method was used due to the availability of published methods with good reported yields.25,26,28 Benzylic bromination is preferred, as bromide represents a better leaving group than chloride, and is less susceptible to hydrolysis than the alternative sulfonate esters. 4-Bromo-2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine (5) is generated from the reaction of diol 4 and PBr3 in a one step process (Scheme 17). Br Br PBr3, CHCl3 N OH N Br OH 4 Br 5 Scheme 17: Synthesis of tribromide 5 In a manner similar in outcome to the reaction utilized to generate 3, bromo groups are replacing hydroxyl groups. However, the reaction is mechanistically distinct, as it 32 proceeds via a SN2 mechanism. Phosphorus tribromide is used to convert the alcohols into dibromophosphites, a better leaving group for SN2 reactions. The crude product was recrystallized from a mixture of DCM/hexanes (1:1) to yield 63% of the desired product. 3.4 Synthesis of Crown Ether 6 There are a number of procedures utilized in the literature for the synthesis of species structurally similar to 6,27-29 and all generally follow variations of a central theme: The alkoxide of the polyether diol is generated in situ with sodium hydride (considered a strong, non-nucleophilic base), and is allowed to react with the di- (or in this case tri-) bromide under high dilution conditions (Scheme 18). Typically such reactions proceed in low to moderate yields. A number of approaches to the synthesis of 6 were attempted: Br O NaH, THF N Br 5 0 oC or reflux Br N O O O Br + HO O O O O OH 6 Scheme 18: Attempted syntheses of crown ether 6 The initial attempt was based on the procedure of Uiterwijk et al.,27 whereby anhydrous THF solutions of tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and 5 were separately added 33 dropwise to a mixture of NaH and anhydrous THF under reflux conditions. In this attempt a large excess of base (6.8 eq.) was inadvertently used. 8.75% of the desired product was formed, in contrast to literature yields of 55% for an analog compound, and 15-37% for differently sized crowns. Loss of yield for 6 was in all likelihood due to the non-optimal conditions used. An alternative procedure, published by Tahri, et al.,28 was considered, since this procedure utilized milder conditions (reaction was carried out at 0oC instead of under reflux conditions). In addition, a THF solution of 5 was added dropwise to an equilibrated mixture of TEG and sodium hydride in THF. Based on the stoichiometry, two equivalents of base would be expected to deprotonate both sides of the glycol, but reported analog products were generated from 1.1 equivalents of base.28 The usage of more than a single equivalent of base in these reactions was investigated: Reaction with large excesses of NaH (8 & 16 molar equivalents respectively) was unsuccessful. 1 H NMR analysis of crude product mixtures gave little indication of formation of the desired product, consistent with previous observations. An alternative possibility considered was to allow reaction to proceed as published with 1.1 equiv. of sodium hydride, then adding a second equivalent of base to more closely approach the stoichiometric requirements of reaction. It was considered important that the bases used should be as non-nucleophilic as possible, to avoid competing substitution reactions. The bases considered were: • Additional sodium hydride: 1.65 and 2 molar equiv. of NaH were used. In the case where 2 mol. equiv. NaH were used, 1.1 equiv. were used during the initial reaction and an additional 0.9 equiv. added at 0 oC after stirring overnight. 34 Purification of the crude products was achieved using radial chromatography to yield 27% (1.65 equiv. NaH) and 18% (2.0 equiv. NaH). • N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (Hünig’s base, 1 equiv.), • pyridine (1 equiv.), and • Na2CO3 (4 equiv.). The larger excess of this particular base was used to offset its lower solubility in organic solvents. NMR and TLC analysis of the crude products were inconclusive and the three bases didn’t seem to provide a better alternative to NaH. Although the three bases provided milder options to a second equivalent of NaH, there were clear downsides related to solubility, nucleophilicity and base strength to consider. Additional concerns regarding the water content in the anhydrous THF solvent, and the hygroscopicity of TEG became apparent as the study proceeded; attempts to duplicate the sodium hydride reactions described above were unsuccessful. It was necessary to remove the absorbed water from TEG, and this was achieved by fractional distillation of the material in vacuo. The distillate was subsequently stored over 3Å molecular sieves in an argon atmosphere. A third alternative method, published by Storhoff et al.,29 was attempted. This method involves the dropwise addition of a solution of both 5 and freshly distilled TEG in THF to a mixture of NaH (2.1 equivalents) in THF under reflux conditions; via a slow addition dropping funnel. This procedure gave 6 in 20% yield. Analysis of the product yields indicates that the highest yields were generated with 1.1-2.1 equiv. of sodium hydride. Alternative bases were not successful, nor was the use of large excesses of base. Water absorption by TEG, makes it difficult to directly 35 compare many of the attempts to generate 6, since any water in the system will quench NaH and lead to a lowering of the yield. The characteristics of a successful reaction involve using freshly distilled TEG and 2 equiv. of sodium hydride base gives yields comparable to those in the literature for analog compounds. 3.5 Synthesis of Compound 7 There are a number of procedures utilized in the literature for the oxidation of pyridine moieties to form N-oxides (Scheme 19).30,35,36 These species are known to undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions with reasonable facility. O O N Br O O O [O] N Br O O O O O 6 [O] = O 7 O O OH Cl O OH O peracetic acid O O dimethyldioxirane 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid Scheme 19: Attempted Syntheses of N-oxide 7 Oxidation of crown ether 6 to form the corresponding N-oxide (7) was attempted using peracetic acid, according to literature procedure.35 Compound 6 was added to a mixture of glacial acetic acid and 30% w/v hydrogen peroxide and stirred for 3 h at 75 o C. A second aliquot of 30% w/v hydrogen peroxide was added and heated for an 36 additional 3 h. NMR analysis of the crude product did not give any indication that oxidation had taken place. Oxidation utilizing the oxidizing agent 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mchloroperbenzoic acid or mCPBA) was also attempted according to Pentimalli.30 mCPBA (1.5 eq.) was added to a solution of 6 in dichloromethane at 10 oC. A byproduct of the reaction, 3-chlorobenzoic acid, proved difficult to separate due to similar retention times in a variety of different eluents. Extraction with saturated NaHCO3 was unsuccessful and resulted in reduced yield and did not entirely remove the acid. The 1H NMR spectrum of the reaction mixture was consistent with the oxidation of the pyridine ring to form an N-oxide in comparison with the spectrum of the starting material, 6 (Figure 5, overleaf). A shift in peaks at the 3-position on the pyridine ring and the crown ether protons indicates oxidation has occurred and can be supported when compared to the analogous compounds, 2,6-dimethylpyridine and 2,6-dimethylpyridine 1-oxide and their shift in peaks downfield with oxidation.33,34 The NMR spectra of these species indicate changes in chemical shifts for protons at the 3-position from 6.9 to 7.5 ppm upon oxidation, and benzylic proton chemical shifts change from 2.5 to 2.6 ppm. The crude spectrum of 7 shows a similar change in chemical shift: 7.41 to 7.64, 4.73 to 4.96 ppm. The 3chlorobenzoic acid byproduct is still present in the sample, and has resonances at 8.03, 7.92, 7.51, and 7.35 ppm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parts per Million : 1H 4.0 3.0 3.8836 3.8744 3.8653 3.6729 3.5969 3.5878 3.5786 3.4092 8.0296 7.9426 7.9234 7.6404 7.5296 7.5094 7.3885 7.3684 7.3482 7.3427 7.2557 8.0 4.9551 0 (Millions) 1.0 7.4091 "! 3.7227 3.6696 3.6540 3.5807 3.5743 8.0 4.7308 !! 0 2.0 (Millions) 3.02.0 !!

Synthesis of DMD was unsuccessful as confirmed by 1H NMR, probably due to inefficient cooling of the collection apparatus. 3.6 Attempts to Incorporate the Azido- group In principle, incorporation of the azido-group onto the crown skeleton could be performed prior to, or after oxidation of the pyridine ring. The azido group is relatively inert toward most standard oxidants. Oxidation of organic azides has been reported under forcing conditions, using hypofluorous acid as an oxidant.39 Initial attempts were carried out using the crude N-oxide generated from the mCPBA reactions (Scheme 20). O Br N O O O O O NaN3, 95% EtOH N3 O N O O O O O 8 7 Scheme 20: Attempted synthesis of target compound 8 Sodium azide (2 equiv.) was added to a mixture of 6 in 95% ethanol. IR analysis of the crude product indicated the presence of an azide, but it was inconclusive whether it was the desired product or residual unreacted sodium azide. 39 Alternatively, azide functionalization was attempted on crown ether 6 before oxidation (Scheme 21). O Br O N O O O NaN3, 95% EtOH N3 O O N O O 6 O 9 Scheme 21: Synthesis of 19-azido-3,6,9,12,15-pentaoxa-21-azabicyclo[15.3.1]-henicosa1(21),17,19-triene (9) Sodium azide (1.5 equiv.) was added to a mixture of 6 in 95% ethanol. 1H NMR of the product mixture did show some evidence of changes of chemical shifts relative to the starting material. However, it was not clear whether these shifts arose from incorporation of the azide group, or through complexation of sodium by the crown. Analysis of the FTIR spectrum of the isolated material (isolated by filtration, and solvent removed in vacuo over 24 h) is similarly equivocal. The FTIR shows peaks at 2112 and 2022 cm-1. The former (a relatively low intensity peak) is consistent with the formation of an aryl azide. The latter peak is not, but neither is it consistent with the solid state spectrum of sodium azide, which also has peak absorption around 2120 cm-1 (in paraffin mull). Additional study of this reaction is clearly required. Further study and improvements in the synthesis and purification of 7 and 8 are necessary to obtain the desired 4-azido-2,6-pyrido-18-crown-6 N-oxide product. Since purification of 7 from 3-chlorobenzoic acid proved difficult, new methods could be 40 utilized such as preparative LC or HPLC. Also, the preparation of dimethyldioxirane (DMD) could be improved by improving the efficiency of the cooling apparatus. With successful generation of DMD, a new, easier to purify, method of oxidation can be utilized. From the purification of 7, the incorporation of an azido- group can be further studied. Successful generation of 8 can be used in future metal cation complexation and nitrene reactivity studies. 41 Bibliography (1) Brase, S.; Gil, C.; Knepper, K.; Zimmermann, V, Angew. Chem. Int.
