Trianglimine formation mechanism by ESI-TOF MS<br />
and stirred at room temperature for 48 h. Aliquots were taken<br />
at defined time intervals, diluted with DCM and directly<br />
infused into the ESI-TOF mass spectrometer. After 46 h a statistical<br />
mixture <strong>of</strong> ten trianglimines 30, 31 and 34–41 in addition to<br />
uncyclized intermediates 20, 22 and 42–47 was detected and the<br />
structures <strong>of</strong> all the compounds were assigned.<br />
In a second crossover experiment we mixed (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane<br />
1 with dialdehydes 19 and 33 which constitute<br />
the building blocks for the constructed macrocycles 31<br />
and 32, respectively. ESI-TOF MS data for the products <strong>of</strong> imine<br />
exchange are shown in Table 4. <strong>The</strong> reaction was monitored as<br />
previously described.<br />
After 46 h <strong>of</strong> stirring at room temperature, the reaction<br />
reached the point <strong>of</strong> equilibrium at which a statistical mixture<br />
<strong>of</strong> macrocycles and uncyclized intermediates was<br />
detected. <strong>The</strong>se experiments clearly demonstrated the reversibility<br />
<strong>of</strong> the process and showed that trianglimines obtained<br />
from non-symmetrical dialdehyde building blocks are<br />
the products <strong>of</strong> kinetic control. It is worth noting that<br />
although imine formation is known to be reversible, this<br />
work is to the best <strong>of</strong> our knowledge the first example in<br />
which kinetic control has been clearly demonstrated for<br />
imine-only macrocycles.<br />
CONCLUSIONS<br />
We have shown for the first time that a complex multistep<br />
macrocyclization reaction can be monitored using real-time<br />
ESI-TOF MS, identifying an unprecedented number <strong>of</strong> 16<br />
reaction intermediates. <strong>The</strong> [3+3]-cyclocondensation reaction<br />
between (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane 1 and terephthaldehyde<br />
2 or isophthaldehyde 3 proceeds via a stepwise<br />
cyclocondensation reaction mechanism, in which definite<br />
intermediates accumulate during the reaction. All the intermediates<br />
participating in the macrocyclization reaction were<br />
detected by ESI-TOF MS and identified according to their<br />
high-resolution m/z values. <strong>The</strong> information about the stable<br />
reaction intermediates will allow us to rationally design<br />
new [3+3]-cyclocondensation strategies and further exploits<br />
this fascinating reaction, in which six chemical bonds form<br />
in a single reaction. We confirmed the dynamic reversibility<br />
<strong>of</strong> trianglimines and we hope that this work will open up<br />
new applications <strong>of</strong> trianglimines in the field <strong>of</strong> dynamic<br />
combinatorial libraries, leading potentially to the synthesis<br />
<strong>of</strong> selective chiral hosts for different organic compounds.<br />
