Synthesis and Photochromism of Novel Chromene Derivatives Bearing a Monoazacrown Ether Moiety

Abstract: Crowned chromenes − four novel naphthopyrans (chromenes) bearing monoaza-12-crown-4, -15-crown-5, -18-crown-6, and a noncyclic analogue at the 5-position − were synthesized, and their photochromism in acetonitrile was examined in the presence of alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions. Incorporation of crown ether units to chromene moieties facilitated to a great extent both the thermal isomerization and photoisomerization of the chromene moiety, reflecting the metal-ion-binding ability of the crown ether moiety.… Show more

“…9-15 However, the synthesis and properties of benzochromenes containing ionophoric fragments are poorly studied: only several crown con taining benzochromenes were described. [16][17][18] The syn thesis of benzochromenes with ionophoric fragments is not only of theoretical interest but can induce the prepa ration of new optical sensors for metal cations, photo switchable extracting complexones, and metal cation car riers through membranes.…”

“…As seen, straight ring size-dependent selectivity of the crown moieties was not observed, Li þ , Ca 2þ and, to a less extent, Na þ were preferred by both ligands. Other NP dyes containing 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 moieties were reported to show some size-dependent cation discrimination for Li þ vs Na þ with enlargement of the crown ring [24]. Our ligands, comprised of a 17-crown-5 (4a) and a 23-crown-7 (4b) binding site with twisted binaphthyl subunit, cannot provide ideal steric environment for complexation, therefore only part of the donor atoms can be involved in binding.…”

“…(Fig. 1) Due to the easy light fatigue of spirobenzopyrans (SP) [23], our studies were extended to spironaphthoxazines (NO) [8,23] and naphthopyrans (chromens, NP) [24,25] because of their greater resistence to photodegradation. The UV light induced ring opening of the colorless NO and NP photochromes is similar to that of SP (C -O cleveage), but here quinoidal and not zwitterionic structure of the open forms is responsible for the coloration [26,27] (Fig.…”

“…The process is most effective if the sizes of the crown ether cavity and the metal ion are in the optimum ratio.Irradiation of the compounds 81 and 82 in the region of the long-wave absorption band of the merocyanine form leads to the formation of the initial spiro form and a released metal ion, making it possible to control the complex formation process by irradiation. reaction of the chromenes 84-86[119][120][121] involves cleavage of the C-O bond by the action of light with the formation of the open form B. At room temperature the reaction is reversible.…”
