RESUMEN
Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) have been important synthetic targets in supramolecular chemistry due to their beautiful structures and intriguing properties. We present herein a new synthetic strategy to access [2]rotaxanes, namely active-metal template clipping. We discuss the design of the target [2]rotaxanes, synthesis and characterization of the axle, macrocycle precursors and macrocycles as well as preparation of the final [2]rotaxanes by active template copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) as key step of the synthesis. HRMS and NMR experiments have been performed to confirm the formation of the interlocked structures.
RESUMEN
Protocols for the synthesis of the bulky polyfluorinated triarylboranes 2,6-(C6 F5 )2 C6 F3 B(C6 F5 )2 (1), 2,6-(C6 F5 )2 C6 F3 B[3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 ] (2), 2,4,6-(C6 F5 )3 C6 H2 B(C6 F5 )2 (3), 2,4,6-(C6 F5 )3 C6 H2 B[3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 ] (4) were developed. All boranes are water tolerant and according to the Gutmann-Beckett method, 1-3 display Lewis acidities larger than that of the prominent B(C6 F5 )3 .
