The 7-C60-adduct of N,N-(tetrachlorophthaloyl)dehydroabietylamine was synthesized for the first time and characterized by IR, UV-vis, mass and NMR spectral studies. The 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR resonance signals of the new compound are unambiguously assigned by using homo- and heteronuclear 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques such as COSY, ROESY, HSQC and HMBC. The C1 symmetric structure with 6,6-junction of compound was determined.

 7-C60-adduct of N,N-(tetrachlorophthaloyl)dehydroabietylamine 1H-NMR 13C-NMR 2D NMR C1 symmetric structure 1. Introduction

Dehydroabietylamine, which possesses an aromatic diterpene structure with three rings and a reactive amino group and is the main component of disproportionated rosin amine, can be easily isolated from the latter. Dehydroabietylamine and its derivatives have attracted considerable interest due to their wide range of uses such as chiral resolution agents [1,2], antibacterial substances [3,4] and chiral surfactants [5,6].

Since the discovery of C60, its peculiar cage structure has attracted great attention. Cycloaddition reactions of C60, especially 1,3-dipolar addition reactions, have been the subject of a large variety of studies and shown to be a useful methods for the synthesis of functionalized fullerene derivatives [7,8,9,10,11]. These results prompted us to study new cycloadducts of dehydroabietylamine with C60 as a part of an on-going program for the development of new rosin amine derivatives with potential biological or material properties. So far, the majority of the studies on the chemical transformations of dehydroabietylamine have focused on the amine group and benzene ring, but the chemical transformation in other skeleton has seldom been reported. In this paper, we report the synthesis for the first time of the 7-C60-adduct of N,N-(tetrachlorophthaloyl)dehydroabietylamine (5, Figure 1) and describe the structure determination of the new compound, along with its detailed 1H- and 13C-NMR assignments.

 2. Results and Discussion 2.1. Synthesis Procedures

The general procedure for the synthesis of compound 5 is shown in Scheme 1. Dehydroabietylamine (1) was prepared as described in the literature [12]. Dehydroabietylamine reacted with tetrachlorophthalic anhydride (TCPA, an amino protecting group) to give compound 2, which then was transformed into 3 by C-7 benzylic oxidation. Subsequently, the reaction of 3 with p-tosylhydrazide yielded p-tosylhydrazone 4. Compound 5 was prepared according to the reported method [13]. According to the literature [13], heating a solution of the p-tosylhydrazone with C60 at 70 °C afford the [5,6]-open isomer. However, in our experiment, no traces of this expected [5,6]-open isomer were found and the only isolated product was the [6,6]-closed isomer (methanofullerene), which is likely due to a rearrangement of the 5,6-open isomer into the thermodynamically more stable 6,6-closed isomer at 70 °C.

 2.2. Analysis of Compound <italic><bold>5</bold></italic> 2.2.1. IR, UV-Vis and Mass Spectrum Analysis of Compound <bold>5</bold>

The IR spectrum of compound 5 showed bands indicating the presence of the different expected functional groups: Characteristic asymmetric and symmetric stretching bands of the imide carbonyl (C=O) at 1,776 and 1,721 cm−1 and at 526 cm−1 for the C60 skeleton. In the UV-vis spectrum, the characteristic absorptions for the methanofullerenes was also observed at 436.50, 697.00 nm [13]. Meanwhile, the structure of compound 5 as a monoadduct was supported by the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrum (MALDI-TOF MS) which display the expected peak at m/z 1,271.4.

First, the assignment of some protons is easily accomplished by analysis of the 1H-NMR chemical shifts, signal multiplicity and coupling constants. The signals of the aromatic protons (7.26–8.40 ppm) can be readily identified by their chemical environment (Figure 2).

1H-NMR spectrum of compound 5.

The H-11 signal appeared as a doublet with coupling constants J11,12 = 8.1 Hz at 7.43 ppm, while the H-14 signal appeared at 8.40 ppm as a doublet with a lower coupling constant values J14,12 = 1.8 Hz because of the long distance between H-14 and H-12. H-12 signal appeared as a double doublet with J12,11 = 8.1 and J12,14 = 1.8 Hz at 7.28 ppm. The septet at 2.99 ppm (J = 6.7 Hz) was assigned to H-15 proton. In the higher frequency region there are three double doublets and two doublets at δH 3.65 (dd, J = 14.1, 10.5 Hz), 3.41 (dd, J = 14.1, 8.8 Hz) 1.97 (dd, J = 10.3, 9.2 Hz), 3.88 (d, J = 13.6 Hz) and 3.59 ppm (d, J = 13.6 Hz). Of the five signals, δH 3.88 and 3.59 ppm doublets were assigned to H-18 (H-18β and H-18α) on the basis of the correlations of δC 50.45 ppm/H-18β, 18α in the HSQC spectrum, while δH 3.65 and 3.41 ppm double doublets were assigned to the H-6 (H-6β and H-6α) on the basis of the correlations of δC 28.35 ppm/H-6β, 6α in the HSQC spectrum. The remaining double doublet at δH 1.97 ppm was assigned to H-5. To distinguish the non-equivalent H-18 and H-6 protons, we found that δH 3.59 and 3.41 ppm showed ROE correlations with H-5, but δH 3.88 and 3.65 ppm showed no ROE correlations with H-5 in the ROESY spectrum. Therefore, we assigned H-18α at δ 3.59, H-6α at δ 3.41, H-18β at δ 3.88 and H-6β at δ 3.65 ppm.

The signals of four-methyl group protons appeared as two singlets and two doublets. The two singlets, one at δH 1.86 ppm was assigned to H-20 methyl protons, and the other at δH 1.31 ppm was assigned to H-19 methyl protons based on the correlations of δH 1.86/H-19, 6β and δH 1.31/H-20, 6β, 18β in the ROESY spectrum. The doublet at δH 1.30 ppm was readily assigned to H-16 methyl protons in the isopropyl moiety due to the δH 1.30/H-15 correlation in the COSY spectrum and δH 1.30/H-15, 12 correlations in the ROESY spectrum. The remaining doublet at δH 1.32 ppm was assigned to H-17 methyl protons.

Finally, the signals of the remaining three-methylene group protons (H-1, 2, 3) appeared as two broad doublets and three multiplets. The broad doublet at δH 2.39 ppm and the multiplet at δH 1.79–1.74 ppm were, respectively, assigned to H-1β and H-1α due to the correlations of δH 2.39/1.79–1.74/δC 39.48 ppm in the HSQC spectrum and δH 2.39/H-20, 11, δH 1.79–1.74/H-5, 11 in the ROESY spectrum. Similarly, the broad doublet at δH 1.58 ppm and the multiplet at δH 1.53–1.47 ppm were, respectively, assigned to H-3β and H-3α based on the correlations of δH 1.58/1.53–1.47/δC 37.52 ppm in the HSQC spectrum and δH 1.58/H-19, δH 1.53–1.47/H-5, 18α in the ROESY spectrum. The remaining multiplet at δH 1.85–1.79 ppm was assigned to H-2, which also be demonstrated by the correlations of δH 1.85–1.79/H-3β, 3α, 1β, 1α in the COSY spectrum.

 2.2.3. <sup>13</sup>C-NMR Spectrum Analysis of Compound <bold>5</bold>

The proton noise decoupled 13C-NMR spectrum (Figure 3) displayed 24 and 43 resonance signals respectively for (tetrachlorophthaloyl)dehydroabietylamine moiety and C60 moiety of compound 5. In the 13C-NMR spectrum, the signal at δC 164.51 ppm could be assigned to C-7', 8', which was supported by the cross peaks of δC 164.51 ppm/H-18α, 18β in the HMBC spectrum.

In the HSQC spectrum, the signals at δC 23.70, 24.49, 18.89 and 22.50 ppm were attributed to C-16, 17, 19, 20 methyl carbon atoms due to the cross peaks of δC 23.70/H-16, δC 24.49/H-17, δC 18.89/H-19 and δC 22.50/H-20. In addition, the signals at δC 18.18, 39.48, 37.52, 28.35 and 50.45 ppm were attributed to C-2, 1, 3, 6, 18 methylene carbon atoms due to the cross peaks of δC 18.18/H-2, δC 39.48/H-1α,1β, δC 37.52/H-3α, 3β, δC 28.35/H-6α, 6β and δC 50.45/H-18α, 18β. The resonance signals at δC 48.67 and 33.92 ppm were assigned to methine carbon atoms C-5 and C-15 based on the cross peaks of δC 48.67/H-5 and δC 33.92/H-15. The HSQC spectrum also revealed the cross peaks between aromatic hydrogens H-11, 12, 14 and their corresponding carbon atoms. From the HSQC spectrum, we can clearly assign C-11 at δC 123.40, C-12 at δC 126.09 and C-14 at δC 126.42 ppm.

The quaternary carbon atoms were assigned by using the long-range correlated HMBC experiment. The signals at δC 40.89, 132.15, 150.35, 38.83 and 145.43 ppm were assigned to C-4, 8, 9, 10, 13 quaternary carbon atoms because of the long-range cross peaks of δC 40.89 ppm/H-19, 5, 18α, 18β, 6β, δC 132.15 ppm/H-6β, 11, δC 150.35 ppm/H-14, 12, 20, 5, δC 38.83 ppm/H-20, 5, 6α, 2, 11 and δC 145.43 ppm/H-16, 17, 15, 11. The signals at δC 44.61, 84.80, 77.66 ppm were assigned to C-7 and the sp3-hybridized bridgehead carbon atom C-21, 22 on the cyclopropyl moiety due to the long-range cross peaks of δC 44.61 ppm/H-6α, 6β, 14, 11, δC 84.80 ppm/H-6α, 6β and δC 77.66 ppm/H-6α. This pattern is unambiguously diagnostic for C1 symmetric structure with 6,6-junction [14,15].

Only four signals were observed in the tetrachlorophthaloyl moiety due to the symmetry of C-7', 8', C-1', 6', C-2', 5' and C-3', 4'. The carbon signals at δC 127.52, 129.76, 140.35 ppm can be assigned to C-1', 6', C-2', 5' and C-3', 4' [16]. The remaining 41 resonance signals between δC 150.74–137.82 ppm were attributed to C60-sp2 carbon atoms (due to the overlapping, only 41 resonance signals for C60-sp2 carbon atoms were observed, maximum 58 sp2-carbon resonance signals).

 3. Experimental 3.1. General

1D (1H and 13C) and 2D NMR experiments were performed on a Bruker AVANCE AV-500 NMR spectrometer (500.13 MHz for 1H and 125.77 MHz for 13C). The samples were dissolved in 0.5 mL CDCl3, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded using TMS as an internal reference. Chemical shifts were reported in parts per million (ppm). FT infrared (IR) spectrum were recorded as KBr pellets on a Nicolet 360 FT-IR spectrometer and UV-vis spectra on a Shimadzu UV-2550 UV-VIS spectrometer. ESI mass spectrometric were obtained on Agilent 1100 Capillary LC/Micromass Q-Tof Micro mass spectrometer. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectra was performed on a Bruker Daltonics Autoflex III mass spectrometer using α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) as a matrix in a negative-ion reflector mode. All chemicals and solvents were obtained from commercial sources and used as received or dried according to standard procedures. Column chromatography was performed on silica gel (ZCXⅡ, 100–200 mesh). Chemical reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography using precoated silica gel GF254 plates.

 4. Conclusions

In conclusion, the new compound 5 was synthesized from dehydroabietylamine, the assignments of the proton and carbon signals for 7-C60-adduct of N,N-(tetrachlorophthaloyl)dehydroabietylamine were made possible by using 1D and 2D NMR techniques including 1H-, 13C-NMR, COSY, ROESY, HSQC and HMBC experiments. The two peaks at δC 84.80, 77.66 ppm in the 13C-NMR spectra correspond to the sp3-hybridized bridgehead carbons on the cyclopropyl moiety. This pattern is unambiguously diagnostic for C1 symmetric structure with 6,6-junction. All the spectral data support and confirm the proposed structure of the target compound.
