Abstract

Isoxazoline-linked porphyrins have been synthesized by a regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between vinylporphyrin 2 and nitrile oxides. The steric interaction directed the reaction trajectory, in which only the product with a link between the 5-position of the isoxazoline and the β-position of porphyrin was observed. The isoxazoline-porphyrins 3a,b have been characterized by absorption, emission, 1H NMR and mass spectra. Later, the crystal structure of 3a was obtained and confirmed the basic features of the NMR-derived structure. Furthermore, a pair of enantiomers of 3a presented in the crystal, which formed a dimeric complex through intermolecular coordination between the Zn2+ center and the carbonyl group of the second molecule.

Introduction

In nature, porphyrin-type compounds play a prominent role in life [1]. It is well known that certain vital functions, like O2 transport, photosynthesis etc. depend on the action of porphyrin–metal complexes [2-5]. Inspired by the natural porphyrinoids, some man-made porphyrinoids have been designed to mimic the characteristic functions with purposes of utilization in various fields (please see recent reviews [6-14]). In order to achieve application-oriented molecules, lots of modification approaches have been developed [15-24]. Among them, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction [25] is an efficient method to fuse five-membered rings on the periphery of the porphyrin framework. Because the periphery double bonds of the porphyrin macrocycle are nice dipolarophiles, and can trap 1,3-dipoles to furnish the chlorin or bacteriochlorin analogues [26-37]. On the other hand, the formed heterocycles are also very important. For example, isoxazoline derivatives are not only significant intermediates in organic synthesis, e.g., masked aldols [38,39], but also have a broad spectrum of interesting bioactivities, e.g., anti-inflammatory [40,41]. In addition, a few porphyrin-based dipoles have been also reported [42]. Recently, a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction was performed between the vinyl group at methyl pheophorbide A and the in-situ-generated nitrile oxide, which showed inferior selectivity and afforded regio-/stereoisomers [43]. NMR analysis assisted the identification of various isomeric isoxazoline-linked chlorin products. Here, we would like to report an artificial vinylporphyrin 2, which has been designed to control the regioselectivity and reaction trajectory of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction by steric hindrance. The obtained novel isoxazoline-substituted porphyrin derivatives 3a,b have been characterized by absorption, emission, NMR and mass spectrometry. In addition, the crystal structure of 3a is discussed.

Results and Discussion

The synthetic route to the β-isoxazoline-substituted porphyrin is depicted in Scheme 1, in which the double bond was furnished by Wittig reaction, followed by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with stable dipoles. In detail, tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) was used as starting material. A Vilsmeier reaction was carried out after insertion of Cu2+ into the cavity of TPP. In the presence of concentrated H2SO4 the Cu2+ was removed to give the 2-formyl derivative TPP-CHO. Subsequently, the formyl group was reduced by NaBH4, accompanied with chlorination by SOCl2, to afford the chloromethyl derivative TPP-CH2Cl. Notably, this intermediate was labile on silica-gel column to give the precursor hydroxymethylporphyrin. Hence recrystallization was employed to purify it. Later, refluxing of the solution of TPP-CH2Cl and PPh3 in toluene gave the phosphonium salt 1 [44]. To introduce the vinyl group at the β-position, a Wittig reaction was performed, in which the porphyrin phosphonium salt 1 reacted with 4-MeCO2-benzaldehyde in the presence of DBU to furnish the double bond, followed by insertion of Zn ions into the porphyrin cavity to give compound 2. Nitrile oxides [45] as one of the most reactive dipoles not only react with various dipolarophiles but also undergo spontaneous dimerization to form furoxans. To avoid or minimize this drawback, the substitutents (e.g., Cl or Me) around the CNO group were introduced to stabilize the nitrile oxides even at room temperature [46,47]. Here, the 2,6-dichlorophenyl- or 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl nitrile oxides were used to react with 2 at 110 °C for 12 hours in toluene. Generally, two products with different positions (C4 or C5) of isoxazoline connected to the β-position of porphyrin should be obtained if the stereochemistry was not considered (Scheme 1) [43]. However, only one fraction was isolated in this reaction besides the unconsumed starting material 2.

The structure of 1,3-dipole cycloaddition products 3a,b were firstly characterized by absorption spectroscopy (Figure 1). The two compounds 3a,b showed approximately overlapped traces with typical intense Soret band and two weak Q bands. When compared to the spectrum of the precursor 2, a blue shift of ≈10 nm was observed in those of 3a or 3b, which may result from the loss of partial conjugation after the cycloaddition reaction between the nitrile oxides and C=C double bond. However, the substitution at the β-position in 3a or 3b led to a ≈5 nm red shift when compared with the absorption spectrum of ZnTPP [48]. In addition, the fluorescence spectra of 3a and 3b were comparable with that of ZnTPP, and again shifted to short wavelength (≈14 nm) with respect to that of 2. Later the ESIMS spectrum confirmed the constitution of two compounds, respectively. The pseudo molecular ions were observed at m/z = 1024.1765, demonstrating the molecular formula of C61H39Cl2N5O3Zn for 3a, and m/z = 998.3011, indicating the molecular formula of C64H47N5O3Zn for 3b. Thus, the formal formulas of 3a,b are the sum of porphyrin 2 and the corresponding nitrile oxides.

Subsequently, the analysis of the 1H NMR spectra helped to establish the structure of compound 3a,b (Figure 2). In the 1H NMR spectrum of 2, the signals of the vinyl group were observed at 7.15 ppm (J = 16.0 Hz) and 7.28 ppm (J = 16.0 Hz, Figure 2, top), indicating a trans-configuration of the double bond. The signal of the CO2Me group occurred at 3.93 ppm, while those of the β-pyrrolic protons were in the range of 8.82 ppm to 9.13 ppm.

[1860-5397-15-143-2]

Figure 2: The 1H NMR spectra of 2 (top, partially zoomed around 7.26 ppm), 3a (middle, red arrows indicate the high field shift of the protons after 1,3-diploar cycloaddition, while the blue one is the signal of aromatic protons of the dichlorophenyl group) and 3b (bottom, inset is the signal of CH3 around 2 ppm, x marks the signal of H2O, the blue one is the signal of aromatic protons on trimethylphenyl group) in CDCl3 (500 MHz, 25 °C).

As consequence of the cycloaddition reaction, the signals of the vinyl group vanished in the spectra of 3a or 3b. Taking the analysis of 3a as example. Two doublets at 5.07 ppm (J = 4.0 Hz) and 6.15 ppm (J = 4.0 Hz) aroused, which should be assigned to the two saturated CHs after dipolar cycloaddition reaction between the vinyl group and dichlorophenyl nitrile oxides. A multiplet was observed around 7.13 ppm and assigned to the aromatic protons of the 2,6-dichlorophenyl group. Meanwhile the aromatic signals of C6H4CO2Me shifted to the higher field when compared to that of 2, owing to the disturbing of the de-shielding effect from the double bond and porphyrin framework. Similar variation was also realized in the spectrum of 3b. Based on these, the cycloaddition reaction should take place on the β-vinyl group but not the double bond on the porphyrin framework, indicating the high activity of the β-vinyl group over the double bond on the macrocycle. However, at which position of the newly formed isoxazoline is linked to the porphyrin is still elusive.

Later, a single crystal of 3a was obtained by diffusion of n-hexane to the solution of 3a in CHCl3 at 23 °C. The structure of 3a was unambiguously established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 3a crystallized in the monoclinic with space group C2/c. Figure 3 shows the dimeric structure of 3a (front view and side view). Notably, only the 5-position of isoxazoline linking to porphyrin was observed. As expected, the steric clash of the substituent on nitrile oxide and porphyrin framework seems to confine the reaction trajectory and direct nitrile oxide to approach the double bond from outside the macrocycle. In addition, a pair of enantiomers is revealed which formed a dimeric fashion with the help of the fifth coordination to the Zn2+ by the carbonyl group from the other molecule. The distance of Zn–O is found to be 2.37 Å, which is longer than the distance when MeOH coordinated to the Zn2+ ions [49]. This may attribute to the larger volume of the C6H4CO2Me group than MeOH when closing to the Zn2+ center. In the dimer structure, two planes defined by porphyrin macrocycles are parallel with a distance of 7.11 Å. The bulky substituent group around the β-position, in conjunction with the presence of four benzene rings attached to the central porphyrin core, twist the overall geometry of the molecule. For instance, the porphyrin core is slightly distorted with deviation of 0.14 Å. The dihedral angles ranges from 2.6° to 8.7° for the four pyrrole rings with respect to the porphyrin mean plane, which are more twisted than that in normal Zn-porphyrin [49]. The lengths of Zn–N bonds range from 2.041 Å to 2.073 Å. The new formed five-membered isoxazoline ring is almost vertical (with a dihedral angle of 82.7°) to the mean plane of the porphyrin core. While the dihedral angle between the plane defined by macrocycle and the methoxycarbonylbenzene ring was found to be 40.5°.

Conclusion

In summary, two novel isoxazoline-substituted porphyrin derivatives 3a,b have been synthesized via the regiospecific and steric-oriented 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of vinylporphyrin 2 and two nitrile oxides, respectively. Only the product with a link between the 5-position of the isoxazoline and the β-position of porphyrin was obtained, directed by steric hindrance when the two components are approaching to each other. Owing to the interruption of the double bond after the cycloaddition reaction, the absorption spectrum shifted to shorter wavelengths. The isoxazoline-modified porphyrins have been identified by absorption, emission, 1H NMR and mass spectrometry, and 3a was further characterized by X-ray analysis. In the crystal, a pair of enantiomers of 3a is present, which assembled to a dimeric structure with the fifth chelation of a Zn2+ ion by the carbonyl group of the other molecule. The self-dimerization property of 3a may be utilized in supramolecular chemistry [50-53].
