A convenient protocol for the synthesis of ligands from a 4-methyl-3,5-diacylaminophenyl platform.
The synthesis of stable and highly organized phenanthroline, terpyridine, and pyridino-oxazoline ligands bearing one or two 4-methyl-3,5-diacylaminophenyl modules equipped with two lateral dialkoxyphenyl groups has been performed using EDC.HCl and DMAP reagents in the final coupling reaction. Evidently, in the final ligands and in the solid state intermolecular hydrogen bonding maintains the coherence of the tridimensional structure as clearly evidenced by FT-IR and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy in the cases of the methoxy ligands. The supramolecular packing is also maintained by additional pi-pi stacking interactions.
