Template-assembled synthetic G-quartets (TASQs)<br />

Guanine bases, present in guanosine compounds, guanine-rich strands of DNA and RNA, or<br />
DNA-like polymers are able to self-associate and form a tetrameric structure called a G-quartet<br />
[1]. To date it has been shown that G-quartets are templated and stabilized by cations [2].<br />
Guanine aggregation in the absence of cations results in the formation of ribbon-like structures<br />
[3]. We investigated the assembly of guanosine compounds by coupling them to an external<br />
rigid template. This method proved to be helpful and organized guanosines into a G-quartet<br />
without the need of templating cations. The cavitand places guanosines in close proximity for Hbon<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
and compensates for the entropy loss in organizations of four guanines into a single<br />
unit.<br />

One of the crucial problems in supramolecular chemistry is an effective synthesis of macrocyclic<br />
compounds of desired size and structure. Another <strong>di</strong>fficulty is designing a ligand able to bind the<br />
specific guest molecule. Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry (DCC), new synthetic methodology,<br />
can solve both of these problems.[1] DCC bases on reversibility of a reaction used to create the<br />
Dynamic Combinatorial Library (DCL). Ad<strong>di</strong>tion of a substance that interacts noncovalently with<br />
members of the library changes the equilibrium position in the system. The imination reaction,<br />
as a fast reversible process, is good can<strong>di</strong>date for a model reaction for DCC.[2] [3]<br />
Herein we present the study on the imination reaction (Scheme 1) between aromatic<br />
<strong>di</strong>aldehydes (2,5-<strong>di</strong>formylfuran and 2,5-<strong>di</strong>formylthiophene) and a,w-<strong>di</strong>amines used as buil<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
blocks in the presence of variety of inorganic (alkaline metal) cations as templates<br />
DCLs of resulting Schiff bases were analysed using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry<br />
(ESI-MS). The dynamic imine libraries were “frozen” by means of NaBH4 reduction to<br />
correspon<strong>di</strong>ng polyamines. HPLC technique was successfully adopted, allowing for quantitative<br />
template effect determination.<br />
