Unsaturated Dodecahedranes—In Quest of the C20H14 1,4,16-Triene and C20H12 1,4,10(14),16-Tetraene, and Their Cations and Anions
摘要:
The highly pyramidal, highly strained 1,4,16-dodecahedratriene (4) and C20H12 1,4,10(14),16-dodecahedratetraene (5) are cage olefins with an intriguing "inner life". For 5 DFT calculations give information about the energetic and geometrical consequences of one-/two-electron oxidation and reduction. Attempts to prepare 4 and 5 through thermal retro[2+2]/[4+2]cycloaddition strategies proved unsuccessful. Still, the C20H14/C20H12 cage cations and anions are liberated upon electron impact or gas-discharge ionization of their thermally extremely stable tris-/tetrakisanthraceno-anellated derivatives. Mass-selection (photoelectron (PE) characterization) of the anions failed, however, due to the very small anion intensity, the preferential formation of hydrogen-poor ions, and minor cage disruption.
generally in polyunsaturated dodecahedranes (in the extreme C(20)H(4), "tetrahydro-C(20) fullerenes"). Only subsequently did skeletal fragmentations occur. From X-ray crystal-structure analyses, more information was obtained on the structural response of the dodecahedral skeleton to the strain induced by the voluminous substituents.

Monounsaturated, highly pyramidalized, highly reactive (i.a. dienophilic, dipolarophilic) dodecahedranes (2,10) are prepared from an adequately functionalized bisseco substrate. Cheletropic (-N2O; -SO2) and retro-DA reactions are probed as potential methodologies in the preparation of dodecahedrapolyenes.
