Anionic sigmatropic-electrocyclic-Chugaev cascades: accessing 12-aryl-5-(methylthiocarbonylthio)tetracenes and a related anthra[2,3-b]thiophene
نویسندگان
چکیده
1,4-Diols resulting from the double addition of ArCCLi (Ar = Ph, substituted phenyl, 2-thienyl) to ortho-C6H4(CHO)2 undergo cascades to tetracenes on simple admixture of LiHDMS, CS2 and MeI. Acene formation proceeds by [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of xanthate anions followed by 6π electrocyclisations. The reactions are terminated by E2 or anionic Chugaev-type eliminations. Structural packing motifs and electronic properties are reported for the tetracenes.

The anionic [2,3] sigmatropic Wittig rearrangements of deprotonated 4-hetera-1-pentenes and the anionic [3,3] sigmatropic Cope rearrangements of 3-substituted-1,5-hexadienes were explored by using density functional theory calculations. While the deprotonated anionic 3-hydroxy-1,5 hexadiene (2a), 3-thiohydroxy-1,5-hexadiene (2c), and 3-formamidyl-1,5-hexadiene (2d) Cope substrates undergo conce...
متن کاملVanadium-catalyzed selenide oxidation with in situ[2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement (SOS reaction): scope and asymmetric applications.
A vanadium-catalyzed method for the oxidation of prochiral aryl, allylic selenides with tandem [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement has been developed. This protocol has been screened on a series of substrates to test for its generality and effectiveness. The applicability of this methodology to the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched allylic alcohols has been studied on a series of chiral oxazol...

A strategy for synthesizing highly functionalized cyclohepta[b]indoles through a concise (4 + 3) cycloaddition-cyclization-elimination sequence is described. The cycloaddition features nitrogen-stabilized oxyallyl cations derived from epoxidations of N-aryl-N-sulfonyl-substituted allenamides, while the cyclization and elimination employed an intramolecular Grignard addition and a one-step Chuga...
متن کاملTheoretical studies of [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of allylic selenoxides and selenimides.
Density-functional theory is used to model the endo and exo transition states for [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic aryl-selenoxides and -selenimides. The endo transition state is generally preferred for selenoxides if there is no substitution at the 2 position of the allyl group. Based upon the relative energies of the endo and exo transition states, enantioselectivity of rearrangemen...

In this paper, the ring-opening reaction of 2,5-dioctyldithieno[2,3-b:3',2'-d]thiophene with aryllithium in THF at low temperature to generate 2'-arylthio-3,3'-bithiophene-2-carbaldehydes is studied. Nine examples are explored and all the products are characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and HRMS. The relative relationship between the structures of aryl groups and the efficiency of ring-opening...
