Abstract

The synthesis and acid−base behavior of two series of 26-membered dioxatetraamine and hexaamine heterocyclophanes containing two nuclei of either pyrazole (4a and 6a) or 1-benzylpyrazole (4b and 6b), respectively, are reported. Dipodal (2 + 2) condensations of 3,5-pyrazoledicarbaldehyde 2a or its 1-benzyl derivative 2b with 1,5-diamino-3-oxapentane afford in both cases the stable Schiff bases 3a,b in 90% yield, which after reduction with NaBH4 gave 4a,b in 75% and 84% yield, respectively. Condensation of 2a with diethylenetriamine leads to a complex mixture containing imidazolidine isomers, which was reduced in situ to afford 6a in 30% yield. Condensation of 2b with the same amine gave the stable diimidazolidine derivative 5b, which after crystallization was isolated as a pure compound in 80% yield and fully identified from analytical and 1H and 13C NMR data as a constitutional isomer with both imidazolidine rings located at the side of the pyrazole closer to the benzylic substituents. Reduction of 5b wit...
