Synthesis and characterization of macrocyclic compounds with a hydroxyl functional group

A novel [1＋1] Schiff-base macrocyclic compound 3 has been synthesized from precursor 1, 1,3-bis（2＇- formylphenoxy）-2-propanol, and precursor 2, resorcinol-bis（4-aminophenyl）ether, via condensation and cyclizaction using Ba2＋ as template. The macrocycle 3 was further reduced giving saturated macrocycle 4. The structures of 3 and 4 were characterized by elemental analysis, ~H NMR, IR, and MS spectra, and their structures were determined via single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the macrocyclic compound 3 has a folded conformation, and the corresponding reduced product 4 adopts a twisted and folded conformation due to its flexible nature. ~ 2013 Bi-Xue Zhu.

An attempted approach to the tricyclic core of haliclonin A：Structural elucidation of the final product by 2D NMR

We describe the design and execution of a novel synthetic route to the tricyclic core of haliclonin A,a tetracyclic marine natural product.The approach features Bachi＇s thiol-medicated free radical cyclization of alkenyl isocyanide to build the bridged ring system,and ring-closing metathesis（RCM） reaction to form the macrocycle.Execution of the synthetic plan ultimately resulted in a diazatricyclic compound.By means of 2D NMR techniques,the structure of this compound was revealed to an unexpected product 8.Analysis of the synthetic pathways allowed concluding that the unexpected product is a result of an ＂unexpected＂ migration of olefinic bond during dioxolanation of the 2-cyclohexenone derivative 7.This investigation also resulted in a concise construction of the functionalized hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,5（4H）-dione 12 and the macrocyclic tricyclic ring system 8.

One-pot synthesis of [1+1] and 62-membered [2+2] Schiff base macrocycles

New [1＋1] and 62-membered [2＋2] Schiff base macrocycles containing a 2,6-diamidopyridine subunit have been synthesized by condensation reaction of the precursors pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide and 1,10- bis（2＇-formylphenyloxy）decane in the presence of phosphoric acid via a one-pot process. The cyclo- condensed products were effectively isolated by gel column chromatography and characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, mass spectrometry and X-ray analysis. The two macrocycles have a twisted structure, and not an open ＇circular＇ conformation in the solid state.
