Abstract

:
Ethyl 4-(butylamino)-3-nitrobenzoate upon “one-pot” nitro-reductive cyclization using sodium dithionite and substituted aldehyde in dimethyl sulphoxide affords ethyl 1-butyl-2-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxylate in an 87% yield. The structural characterization was determined by Fourier-transfer infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), mass spectrometry, Ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL), thin-film solid emission spectra, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) was studied to determine the reactive sites of the molecule.

1. Introduction

Benzimidazole and its derivatives are well documented in the literature, with varied biological properties [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Interestingly, a great work on benzimidazole in the field of optoelectronic [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15] is also known, as these moieties possess a fluorescent property. The organic solid-based luminescent materials have received enormous attention due to their varied application in organic photovoltaics [16], sensors [17], organic field-effect transistors [18], organic lasers [19] and organic light-emitting diodes [20]. A tremendous effort has been made in the field of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their huge application in lighting and display [21]. Despite the successful application of OLEDs in solid-state lighting and flat-panel display, some of the fault-findings, such as the efficiency of electroluminescence, manufacturing cost and stability [22], still need to be resolved. For practical applications, luminophores are normally used in solid-state films. Discovering a novel blue-emitting device remains a subject of interest, as full-color displays depend on red, green and blue (RGB) emission [23]. As such, we report on the synthesis and optoelectronic properties of title compound 2 as the blue-emitting material.

2. Results

The title compound 2 was prepared following the procedure reported in the literature [24]. The nucleophilic substitution for ethyl 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoate yields 4-(butylamino)-3-nitrobenzoate 1. Upon adding substituted salicylaldehyde and sodium dithionite to compound 1 in DMSO, compound 1 undergoes a “one-pot” nitro reductive cyclization to achieve target compound 2 in an 87% yield, as an off-white solid (Scheme 1). The structural support for the compound was provided by elemental analyses, FT-TR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectrometry (Supplementary Materials).

3. Discussion

The FT-IR spectrum of the final compound 2 displayed a broad peak at 3412 cm−1, which confirms the presence of the OH group. In addition, a sharp band at 1701 cm−1 corresponds to C=O stretching. In the 1H NMR spectrum the presence of the butyl group was supported by the appearance of a triplet, quartet, quintet and triplet at 0.74, 1.13, 1.64 and 4.28 ppm, respectively, whereas the ethyl group was confirmed by the presence of a triplet and quartet at 1.36 and 4.35 ppm, respectively. The methoxy protons resonated at 3.86 ppm. The six aromatic protons appeared in the region 6.66–8.26 ppm. The successful design of final compound 2 was also supported by a COSY experiment, which evidenced a correlation between the methylene and methyl groups. In the 13C NMR spectrum a characteristic peak at 166.1 corresponds to carbonyl carbon of ester. The remaining aromatic and aliphatic carbon signals appeared in the expected region. Further, in the mass spectrum, a molecular ion peak appeared at an m/z value of 369.15 [MH+] in the positive ionization mode.

3.1. UV-Vis Absorption and Photoluminescence (PL) Properties

The optical properties of the target molecule 2 were determined at room temperature, with a set concentration of 2 µM solution in acetonitrile (Figure 1). The title compound displayed three major absorption bands at 229, 262 and 326 nm. The fluorescence spectra exhibited dual emissions at 369 nm (i.e., weak sub-band) and 429 nm (i.e., strong main band) in acetonitrile solvent at 2 µM concentration due to phototautomerization [12] (Figure 1). The compound 2 displayed 103 nm of Stokes shift. In addition, the compound exhibited high fluorescence in the spin-coated solid film, with emission maxima 460 nm (Figure 1). The solid-state emission peak of compound 2 was red-shifted to 31 nm when compared to that of the solution state. The fluorescence quantum yield (Φf) of the solution gave the value of 0.10 using Equation (1).
Φ   =   Φ R I I R O D R O D n 2 n R 2
where I is the integrated intensity, OD is the optical density and n is the refractive index, and the subscript R refers to the reference fluorophore of known quantum yield [25].

3.2. Electrochemical Properties

The cyclic voltammetry was performed to probe the electrochemical properties and energy levels of synthesized molecule 2 in a chloroform solution. The compound exhibited one onset oxidation potential in the anodic region at 0.97 (Figure 2). The energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO = −[ E o n s e t o x + 4.8 eV − EFOC]) of the title compound was found to be −5.49 eV, whereas the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ELUMO = EHOMO + Eg) was −1.99, which was determined by onset oxidation potential ( E o n s e t o x ) and optical band gap ( E g = 1240 λ o n s e t ), where λonset is the onset absorption. The energy gap between HOMO and LUMO (∆E = HOMO − LUMO) is calculated to be 3.50.

3.3. Thermal Properties

The thermal property of the new benzimidazole derivatives was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The TGA plots are shown in Figure 3. Compound 2 showed a high decomposition temperature (Td) at 245 °C.

3.4. Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP)

The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface is plotted over the optimized structure (Figure 4) of the synthesized compounds to reveal the sensitivity of a molecule towards electrophilic and nucleophilic attack [26] using a basis set ps-321G, ps-631G and ps-6311G, shown in Figure 4. The MEP generated in the molecule is represented by the different colors. The red color indicates the strongest repulsion and reactivity towards electrophiles, whereas the blue color indicates the strongest attraction and reactivity towards nucleophiles. These results give us evidence about which region of the molecule undergoes intermolecular interaction when the reaction is carried out. It is evident from the figure that the blue color is localized on the carbonyl carbon and hydrogen atoms of the aromatic group, while the red region is localized on the oxygen atom of the ester, methoxy and hydroxyl group.

4. Materials and Methods

The analytical grade reagents were used for the synthesis of the derivatives, and were purchased from Loba Chem (Mangaluru, India). Spectrochem (Mangaluru, India), and S. D. Fine (Mangaluru, India) without any further purifications. The melting point was determined by the open capillary method and was uncorrected. The confirmation of the title compound was done by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and COSY spectra in JEOL, JNM-ECZ400/L1 (Tokyo, Japan), 400 MHz. The internal standard used was tetramethylsilane. The chemical shift values were represented in parts per million (ppm) and Hertz (Hz) for coupling constants. Shimadzu (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) was used to record FT (ATR)-IR absorption spectra in the range 4000–400 cm−1. Schimadzu LCMS-8030 (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) was used to record mass spectra and was uncorrected. The completion of the reaction was determined by thin-layer chromatography on a silica-coated aluminum sheet. Ethyl acetate and hexane were used as a mobile phase. The UV-Vis spectra of the derivatives were measured in the MeCN, EtOH, DMF, DMSO and THF solvents (concentration 2 µM) at room temperature using a Shimandzu spectrometer (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). The photoluminescence (PL) spectra were recorded in a Hitachi, Japan F-7000 Fluorescence Spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiment was conducted in an Ivium vertex electrochemical workstation (Bangalore, India) with 100 mV s−1 scan rates. The experiment was performed using a three-electrode cell in MeCN solvent. The 0.1 M solution of tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate in MeCN was used as the supporting electrolyte, standard calomel electrode (SCE) was used as a reference electrode and platinum was used as a counter electrode. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried using an STA-2500, NETZSCH, Wittelsbacherstrabe 42, Germany at a heating rate of 10 °C min−1 under an inert atmosphere. The density functional theory (DFT) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) were assessed using an Acer Veriton i5 Workstation using Materials Science Suite 2017-1, Schrödinger LLC, New York, NY, USA, 2017.
