cze Fenantrolinem kondenzované pyrazinaceny: one-pot syntéza, tautomerie a Ru-II(2,2-bpy)(2) deriváty Je popsána one-pot syntéza pyrazinů kondenzovaných s fenantrolinem a jejich alkylace vedoucí ke zvýšení rozpustnosti. Tautomerie výchozího pyrazinacenu vede ke směsi izomerů, byly zohledněny faktory ovlivňující relativní výtěžky těchto izomerů. Zastoupení izomerů může být popsáno dvoustupňovým reakčním modelem. heteroacen; pyrazinacen; tautomerie; fenantrolin
eng Phenanthroline-Fused Pyrazinacenes: One-Pot Synthesis, Tautomerization and a Ru-II(2,2-bpy)(2) Derivative We report the one-pot synthesis of a phenanthroline-fused pyrazinacene derivative (6,13-dihydrodipyrido[3,2-a:2,3-c]-5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14-octaazapentacene-9,10-dicarbonitrile) and its behaviour under alkylating conditions used to improve solubility. Tautomerization of the starting pyrazinacene due to the presence of a reduced pyrazine ring contained within an octaazatetracene chromophore led to mixtures of isomers, and factors affecting the relative yields of these isomers were considered. Isomer population can be described by a two-step reaction model where initial N-alkylation affects the reactivity of the remaining nitrogen atoms available for subsequent alkylation. A discrete soluble non-isomerizable phenanthroline-fused pyrazinacene was also prepared and the activity of its Ru(bpy)(2) complex as a photosensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cell application was investigated. The compounds reported illustrate the unusual reactivity of reduced pyrazinacenes and also their potential as photosensitizers.
