The catalytic activity of macrocyclic phenanthroline-CuI complexes was utilized to synthesize [2]catenanes by intramolecular Sonogashira-type reaction. The high reactivity of the acyclic starting material was critical to synthesize the [2]catenane in acceptable yields. The relationship between the yield of the [2]catenane and the structure of the starting materials was disclosed.

Rotacatenane is an interlocked compound composed of two mechanically interlocked macrocyclic components, i.e., a [2]catenane, and one axle component. In this paper we describe the selective synthesis of isomeric rotacatenanes. Two [2]rotaxanes with different phenanthroline moieties were synthesized by the oxidative coupling of an alkyne with a bulky blocking group, which proceeded in the cavity of the macrocyclic phenanthroline–Cu complex. The metal template method was used to install another cyclic component: the tetrahedral Cu(I) complex, which was composed of a [2]rotaxane and an acyclic phenanthroline derivative, was synthesized, and the cyclization of the phenanthroline derivative gave the rotacatenane. The sequential isomers of rotacatenanes were distinguished by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.

We synthesized [2]rotaxanes with a pyrrole moiety from a [2]rotaxane with a 1,3-diynyl moiety. The conversion of the 1,3-diynyl moiety of the axle component to the pyrrole moiety was accomplished by a Cu-mediated cycloaddition of anilines. The cycloaddition reaction was accelerated when the [2]rotaxane was used as the substrate. The effect of the structure of the pyrrole moiety on the rate of the shuttling was studied.

[3]Rotaxanes with two axle components and one ring component were synthesized by the combination of a coupling reaction using a transition-metal catalyst and a metal-template approach. Thus, [2]rotaxanes were prepared by the oxidative dimerization of alkyne promoted by macrocyclic phenanthroline–CuI complexes. The [2]rotaxane was reacted with a CuI salt and an acyclic ligand to generate a tetrahedral CuI complex. Metal-free [3]rotaxane was isolated by the end-capping reaction of the acyclic ligand, followed by the removal of CuI ion. The stability of the tetrahedral CuI complexes depended on the size of both the ring component and the acyclic ligand, which was correlated with the yield of the corresponding [3]rotaxane.

Abstract
[3]Rotaxanes, which consist of one macrocyclic phenanthroline compound and two axle components, were prepared by the oxidative dimerization of an alkyne compound with bulky tris[4′-cyclohexyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4-yl]methyl blocking group. The catalytic activity of a macrocyclic phenanthroline–Cu complex was utilized to thread the two axle components inside the ring. The alkyne compound with chain of 15 or 20 methylene groups gave [3]rotaxanes in high yields, whereas the axle with a chain of six methylene groups afforded a [3]rotaxane in very poor yield. We also examined the effect of the ring size on the synthesis of [3]rotaxanes. [3]Rotaxanes were not isolated when a macrocyclic phenanthroline compound with a smaller ring size was used.

A new method for the synthesis of interlocked compounds utilizing the catalytic activity of macrocyclic phenanthroline–Cu complexes was developed. The macrocyclic phenanthroline–Cu complexes were found to be good catalysts for several coupling reactions, and this catalytic activity was subsequently utilized for the synthesis of [2]rotaxanes and [2]catenanes. By combining the catalytic threading approach with the well-known metal-template method, several rotacatenanes were synthesized. In addition, one-pot synthesis of [3]rotaxanes was achieved in good yield by performing the threading reaction twice in a one-ring component.

Bulky substituents were introduced to the substrates to stabilize the rotaxane. The bond-forming reaction proceeded selectively inside the macrocyclic complex so that the rotaxanes could be synthesized.

Thus, the bicyclic compounds which consist of six- and nine-membered rings were synthesized by the Ni-catalyzed [4+3+2] cycloaddition, and the cleavage of the N–O bond, which was incorporated in the six-membered ring, proceeded in the presence of Mo(CO)6 to yield the monocyclic compound. On the other hand, the cleavage of the C–O bond proceeded efficiently in the presence of SmI2.

[2]Rotaxanes with large macrocyclic phenanthrolines were prepared by the template method, and the stability of the rotaxanes was examined. Compared to the tris(biphenyl)methyl group, the tris(4-cyclohexylbiphenyl)methyl group was a larger blocking group, and the rate of the dissociation of the components decreased significantly when the thermal stability of a rotaxane with a 41-memebered ring was examined. We also succeeded in the synthesis of larger rotaxanes by the oxidative dimerization of alkynes with these bulky blocking groups, utilizing the catalytic activity of the macrocyclic phenanthroline–Cu complex.

It is important to choose proper conditions for the conversion of the silver complexes to the palladium complexes, depending on the structure of the ligand: the effect of the counteranion was significant. The structures of the complexes were studied by X-ray crystallographic analyses and compared with the corresponding monodentate NHC complexes. The catalytic activity of the Pd complexes for the Mizoroki−Heck reaction was examined.
