  • conformationally mobile acyclic cucurbit n uril type receptors derived from an s shaped methylene bridged Glycoluril pentamer
    Supramolecular Chemistry, 2020
    Co-Authors: Kimberly G Brady, Vladimir Sindelař, Laura Gilberg, David Sigwalt, Joshua Bistanyriebman, Steven Murkli, Jared Klemm, Petr Kulhanek, Lyle Isaacs
    Abstract:

    We report the synthesis of the conformationally mobile S-shaped Glycoluril pentamer building block 3a and two new acyclic CB[n]-type receptors P1 and P2. P1 (9 mM) and P2 (11 mM) have moderate aque...

  • Acyclic cucurbit[n]uril-type molecular containers: influence of Glycoluril oligomer length on their function as solubilizing agents
    Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2015
    Co-Authors: Laura Gilberg, Vladimir Sindelar, Peter Y. Zavalij, Ben Zhang, Lyle Isaacs
    Abstract:

    We present the synthesis of a series of six new Glycoluril derived molecular clips and acyclic CB[n]-type molecular containers (1–3) that all feature SO3− solubilizing groups but differ in the number of Glycoluril rings between the two terminal dialkoxyaromatic sidewalls. We report the X-ray crystal structure of 3b which shows that its dialkoxynaphthalene sidewalls actively define a hydrophobic cavity with high potential to engage in π–π interactions with insoluble aromatic guests. Compounds 1–3 possess very good solubility characteristics (≥38 mM) and undergo only very weak self-association (Ks < 92 M−1) in water. The weak self-association is attributed to unfavorable SO3−⋯SO3− electrostatic interactions in the putative dimers 12–42. Accordingly, we created phase solubility diagrams to study their ability to act as solubilizing agents for four water insoluble drugs (PBS-1086, camptothecin, β-estradiol, and ziprasidone). We find that the containers 3a and 3b which feature three Glycoluril rings between the terminal dialkoxy-o-xylylene and dialkoxynaphthalene sidewalls are less efficient solubilizing agents than 4a and 4b because of their smaller hydrophobic cavities. Containers 1 and 2 behave as molecular clip type receptors and therefore possess the ability to bind to and thereby solubilize aromatic drugs like camptothecin, ziprasidone, and PBS-1086.

  • Synthesis and Self-Assembly Processes of Monofunctionalized Cucurbit[7]uril
    2012
    Co-Authors: Brittany Vinciguerra, Liping Cao, Joe R. Cannon, Peter Y. Zavalij, Catherine Fenselau, Lyle Isaacs
    Abstract:

    We present a building-block approach toward functionalized CB[7] derivatives by the condensation of methylene-bridged Glycoluril hexamer 1 and Glycoluril bis­(cyclic ethers) 2 and 12. The CB[7] derivatives Me2CB­[7] and CyCB[7] are highly soluble in water (264 mM and 181 mM, respectively). As a result of the high intrinsic solubility of Me2CB­[7], it is able to solubilize the insoluble benzimidazole drug albendazole. The reaction of hexamer 1 with Glycoluril derivative 12, which bears a primary alkyl chloride group, gives CB[7] derivative 18 in 16% isolated yield. Compound 18 reacts with NaN3 to yield azide-substituted CB[7] 19 in 81% yield, which subsequently undergoes click reaction with propargylammonium chloride (21) to yield CB[7] derivative 20 in 95% yield, which bears a covalently attached triazolyl ammonium group along its equator. The results of NMR spectroscopy (1H, variable-temperature, and DOSY) and electrospray mass spectrometry establish that 20 undergoes self-assembly to form a cyclic tetrameric assembly (204) in aqueous solution. CB[7] derivatives bearing reactive functional groups (e.g., N3, Cl) are now available for incorporation into more complex functional systems

  • Metal-ion-induced folding and dimerization of a Glycoluril decamer in water.
    Organic Letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Wei-hao Huang, Peter Y. Zavalij, Lyle Isaacs
    Abstract:

    In a process reminiscent of RNA folding, acyclic Glycoluril decamer (±)-1 undergoes double helical assembly (red/green strands) in water triggered by the neutralization of regions of high electrostatic surface potential by metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+).

  • Tetrameric molecular bowl assembled from Glycoluril building blocks
    Chemical Communications, 2008
    Co-Authors: Nengfang She, Meng Gao, Xiang-gao Meng, Lyle Isaacs
    Abstract:

    Glycoluril derivative 1—whose bulky Ph–CC– substituents prevent formation of H-bonded tapes—undergoes solvent dependent assembly in the crystal; a tetrameric molecular bowl is formed by R44(24) H-bonding interactions from CH2Cl2 whereas DMF results in H-bond dimerization followed by oligomerization via C–H⋯π interactions.

  • Dimeric molecular clips based on Glycoluril
    New Journal of Chemistry, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jan Sokolov, Tomáš Lízal, Vladimir Sindelar
    Abstract:

    Glycoluril dimers 4a and 4b were prepared and successfully transformed to Glycoluril dimeric clips 7a and 7b. 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to reveal that the dimeric clip 7b with methyl substituents in its structure exists as a mixture of two distinct conformers in D2O at ambient temperature, while 7a possesses only one stable conformer under the same conditions due to its bulky phenyl substituents. The coalescence temperatures for 7b and its precursor 5b were determined. Both dimeric clips 7a and 7b formed complexes with methylviologen in D2O in which each of two clip-binding sites was occupied by one molecule of the guest. Thus, this study uncovers possible use of Glycoluril dimers 4a and 4b as general building blocks for Glycoluril-based supramolecular host molecules with two binding sites in their structure.

  • Glycoluril Dimer Isomerization under Aqueous Acidic Conditions Related to Cucurbituril Formation
    2016
    Co-Authors: Marek Štancl, Zuzana Garguláková, Vladimir Sindelar
    Abstract:

    A water-soluble methylene-bridged Glycoluril dimer 2S was isolated. It was shown that 2S is the only kinetic product of the reaction between Glycoluril derivative 1 and paraformaldehyde. Compound 2S is subsequently intermolecularly transformed into its diastereomer 2C. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the S- to C-shaped dimer isomerization were investigated under reaction conditions similar to those for cucurbituril synthesis

  • Propanediurea-Based Molecular Clips Bind Halide Anions: An Insight into the Mechanism of Cucurbituril Formation
    2016
    Co-Authors: Tomáš Lízal, Marek Nečas, Lukas Ustrnul, Vladimir Sindelar
    Abstract:

    The synthesis and supramolecular properties of the first methylene-bridged propanediurea-based dimers are described. These dimers, bearing an aromatic sidewall, have the shape of molecular clips. Unlike Glycoluril-based dimers, these clips neither dimerize nor accept any organic guests, due to their small cavities. Both propanediurea- and Glycoluril-based dimers bind halide anions on the convex side of the molecules, even in highly polar organic solvents. This observation brings new insights into the mechanism of cucurbituril formation
