Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is known as a universal energy source and signaling mediator in numerous biological processes. Among the methods for its determination, molecular fluorescence probes occupy leading positions due to high sensitivity and selectivity. Recently we have shown that 31 of 33 tested flavones and quinolones of various structures give fluorescence response and can be effectively applied as the probes in aqueous solutions for detection of ATP in 1–50,000 μM range of its concentrations. To increase response parameters of a probe in respect to ATP we have synthesized N,N'-(butane-1,4-diyl)bis(2-((2-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-chromene-6-yl)oxy)acetamide, the molecular tweezer composed of two flavonol units connected by active linker. On our idea, being equipped by two planar platforms, the tweezershould demonstrate increased affinity and selectivity to ATP in a result of increased number of hydrogen bonds and increased stacking interactions. Having two NH-amide groups the amino acid linker will form hydrogen bonds with the phosphates of ATP, increasing the portion of probe-ATP complex population in the reporting conformation.In the four-step synthesis of this molecular device, starting from methyl 2-(3-acetyl-4-hydroxyphenoxy)acetate and N,N-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, the conditions for the reaction of one-pot chalcone formation and its oxidative heterocyclization in the presence of an organic base were found, which resulted in the isolation of a target flavonol-amino acid derivative with high yields. We suggest that atmospheric oxygen was an oxidizer in this process. The obtained derivative was converted intotarget compound by dual condensation with 1,4-butane diamine.

Although chemical structural modification of naphthalimides is widely employed for the purpose of sensing explosives, the effects of such modification have been little explored. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a new naphthalimide-benzothiazole conjugate (1) and its ability to sense various nitrophenols by means of its colorimetric and fluorescent characteristics. Under long-range UV light (365 nm), 1 displayed a color change of its solution from bluish to colorless only upon addition of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). Photoluminescence spectroscopy showed quantitative fluorescence quenching by TNP of the emission peaks of 1 at 398 nm and 418 nm due to donor–acceptor electron transfer. The interaction of 1 with TNP was via a cooperative, non-covalent hydrogen-bonding interaction. Receptor 1 exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards TNP over various aromatic nitro analytes. The binding constant (K) and Stern–Volmer constant (Ksv) between 1 and TNP were found to be 5.332 × 10−5 M and 2.271 × 106 M−1, respectively. Furthermore, the limit of detection was calculated and found to be as low as 1.613 × 10−10 M.

<p>Chiral molecules with their defined 3-D structures are of paramount importance for the study of chemical biology and drug discovery. Having rich structural diversity and unique stereoisomerism, chiral molecules offer a large chemical space that can be explored for the design of new therapeutic agents.<sup>1</sup> Practically, chiral architectures are usually prepared from organometallic and organocatalytic processes where a transition metal or an organocatalyst is tailor-made for desired reactions. As a result, developing a method that enables rapid assembly of chiral complex molecules under metal- and organocatalyst-free condition represents a daunting challenge. Here we developed a straightforward route to create a chiral 3-D structure from 2-D structures and an amino acid without any chiral catalyst. The center of this research is the design of a <a>special chiral spiroimidazolidinone cyclohexadienone intermediate</a>, a merger of a chiral reactive substrate with multiple nucleophillic/electrophillic sites and a transient organocatalyst. <a>This unique substrate-catalyst (“subcatalyst”) dual role of the intermediate enhances </a><a>the coordinational proximity of the chiral substrate and catalyst</a> in the key Aza-Michael/Michael cascade resulting in a substantial steric discrimination and an excellent overall diastereoselectivity. Whereas the “subcatalyst” (hidden catalyst) is not present in the reaction’s initial components, which renders a chiral catalyst-free process, it is strategically produced to promote sequential self-catalyzed reactions. The success of this methodology will pave the way for many efficient preparations of chiral complex molecules and aid for the quest to create next generation of therapeutic agents.</p>
