Photolability of Per-Arylated Butadienes: En Route to Dihydronaphthalenes
摘要:
Arylated butadienes were prepared employing transition-metal coupling techniques and characterized via UV/vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. Identification of byproducts led to a photochemical route toward novel multiarylated dihydronaphthalenes. Arylbutadiene-dihydronaphthalene cyclization occurs in solution and in the solid state. Upon substitution of hexaphenylbutadiene, absorption is red-shifted and stability under ambient light is even more reduced.
The intermolecular oxidativecoupling of arylboronicacids with internal alkynes efficiently proceeds in a 2:2 manner in the presence of palladium acetate, a triaryl phosphite or phosphate, and silver carbonate as catalyst, ligand, and oxidant, respectively, to produce the corresponding 1,4-diaryl-1,3-butadiene derivatives.
