Synthesis of Angularly Substituted Trans-Fused Hydroindanes by Convergent Coupling of Acyclic Precursors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angularly substituted trans-fused hydroindanes are now accessible by the direct and convergent union of trimethylsilyl (TMS)-alkynes with 4-hydroxy-1,6-enynes by a process that forges three C-C bonds, one C-H bond, and two new stereocenters. The annulation is proposed to proceed by initial formation of a Ti-alkyne complex (with a TMS-alkyne) followed by regioselective alkoxide-directed coupling with the enyne, stereoselective intramolecular cycloaddition, elimination of phenoxide, 1,3-metallotropic shift, and stereoselective protonation of the penultimate allylic organometallic intermediate. Several examples are given to demonstrate the compatibility of this reaction with substrates bearing aromatic and aliphatic substituents, and an empirical model is presented to accompany the stereochemical observations.

An Annulation Reaction for the Synthesis of Cross-Conjugated Triene-Containing Hydroindanes from Acyclic Precursors
In efforts directed toward the synthesis of seco-prezizaane sesquiterpenoids, a stereoselective annulation reaction has been developed between 4-hydroxy-1,6-enynes and TMS-alkynes that delivers cross-conjugated triene-containing hydroindanes. Contrary to previous reports, enyne substrates bearing two propargylic ethers enable the presumed organometallic intermediate to be trapped by double elim...
متن کاملElectrophilic cyclization of aryldiacetylenes in the synthesis of functionalized enediynes fused to a heterocyclic core.
An efficient strategy for the synthesis of asymmetrically substituted enediynes fused to benzothiophene, benzofuran, and indole was developed. The proposed approach is based on the electrophilic cyclization of diacetylenes and Sonogashira coupling. Thus, iodocyclization of readily available ortho-functionalized (buta-1,3-diynyl)arenes was used as a direct way for the synthesis of 2-ethynyl-3-io...
متن کاملA novel angularly fused bistetracene: facile synthesis, crystal packing and single-crystal field effect transistors
We report a facile synthesis of novel angularly fused bistetracene derivatives where two tetracene skeletons are cata-annulated at three benzene rings. Compared with previously described examples, our bistetracenes exhibit a narrower HOMO–LUMO gap but still exhibit high stability. Attempted synthesis of di-substituted bistetracene (BT-2TIPS) also led to unexpected triple (BT-3TIPS) and four-fol...
متن کاملSynthesis of polyfunctionalized biphenyls as intermediates for a new class of liquid crystals.
A series of hexa- and octasubstituted biphenyls containing halogen, amino, nitro, and propylthio substituents were prepared by metal-mediated convergent synthesis from halobenzene precursors. The Pd-assisted C-C coupling methods were ineffective in the formation of the Ar-Ar bond except for the synthesis of 1b. All tetra-ortho-substituted biphenyls were prepared via Ullmann coupling reactions. ...
