Deuterium exchange of pyrrolic NH protons accelerated by fluoride and bicarbonate in CDCl3, CD3CN, and DMSO-d6

Abstract

The anion binding features of pyrrole- and benzene-strapped calix[4]pyrroles 1 and 2, in particular, for F and HCO3 have been examined by means of NMR spectroscopy in DMSO-d6, CDCl3, and CD3CN, respectively. Receptors 1 and 2 were found to bind F and HCO3 tightly via slow binding/release equilibria in these solvents. A combination of 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopic analyses with mass spectrometry revealed that contacting calix[4]pyrroles 1 and 2 with F and HCO3 salts prompts deuterium exchange of the NH protons in the three nominally aprotic deuterated solvents considered in this study.
