Selenium halide-induced bridge formation in [2.2]paracyclophanes
نویسندگان
چکیده
An addition/elimination sequence of selenium halides to pseudo-geminally bis(acetylene) substituted [2.2]paracyclophanes leads to new bridges with an endo-exo-diene substructure. The reactions have been found to be sensitive to the substitution of the ethynyl group. The formation of dienes with a zig-zag configuration is related to that observed for non-conjugated cyclic diynes of medium ring size.

Building complex carbon skeletons with ethynyl[2.2]paracyclophanes
Ethynyl[2.2]paracyclophanes are shown to be useful substrates for the preparation of complex, highly unsaturated carbon frameworks. Thus both the pseudo-geminal- 2 and the pseudo-ortho-diethynylcyclophane 4 can be dimerized by Glaser coupling to the respective dimers 9/10 and 11/12. Whereas the former isomer pair could not be separated so far, the latter provided the pure diastereomers after ex...
متن کاملMild preparation of functionalized [2.2]paracyclophanes via the Pummerer rearrangement.
[2.2]Paracyclophanes, incorporating functional groups in the aliphatic bridges, suitable for elimination to give [2.2]paracyclophanedienes, are synthesized through a novel approach. It relies on a double Pummerer rearrangement on dithiacyclophane precursors, followed by ring contraction through a photochemical sulfur extrusion, and it is compatible with aryl moieties possessing very different e...

The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization and dissociative photoionization of three hydroxy-substituted [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives were studied yielding adiabatic ionization energies and dissociative photoionization energies (appearance energies). The simplest dissociation pathway is the breaking of both CH(2)-CH(2) bridge units and fragmenting the molecular ion in half to yield xylylen...

The photoisomerization of the pseudo-geminal tetraene 11 furnishes the cyclooctadiene derivatives 13 and 15 with a completely new type of molecular bridge for a [2.2]paracyclophane which promise many interesting novel applications; the same is true for the photoisomerization of 22 to 23 and 24. The structures of these new hydrocarbons were established by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic ...
متن کاملSynthesis of pseudo-geminal-, pseudo-ortho-, and ortho-phosphinyl-oxazolinyl-[2.2]paracyclophanes for use as ligands in asymmetric catalysis.
Syntheses of three regioisomers of aromatic-substituted phosphinyl-oxazolinyl-[2.2]paracyclophanes, pseudo-geminal, pseudo-ortho, and ortho, have been carried out or, in the latter two cases, newly developed. It has, therefore, been demonstrated that all aromatic-substituted isomers relevant for use as chelating ligands for asymmetric catalysis are accessible. These P,N-ligands, along with thei...
