Cyclization reactions of long-lived 10,10-dimethyl-9-phenylethynyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl cation
摘要:
According to the NMR data, long-lived 10,10-dimethyl-9-phenylethynyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ylium in acid medium undergoes cyclization whose direction is determined by the acidity of the medium. The cyclization in HSO3F-SbF5 superacid involves the aromatic ring in the phenanthrene core as nucleophilic component and yields 5a,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4,5,5a,6-tetrahydroacephenantrylene-4,6-bis(ylium). In trifluoroacetic acid the nucleophilic component is the side-chain phenyl group, and the cyclization product is neutral 8b,14b-dimethyl-8b,14b-dihydrobenzo[g]chrysen-10-yl trifluoroacetate. Both cyclization directions are observed in moderate-strength trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.
Structure of long-lived alkynyl-substituted carbocations of the phenanthrene series and their precursors
摘要:
According to the NMR data, 9-(R-ethynyl)-9-hydroxy-10,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes (R = H, Me, Ph) in superacid medium (HSO3F-SO2ClF) at low temperature undergo dehydroxylation with formation of the corresponding long-lived 10,10-dimethyl-9-(R-ethynyl)-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl cations which do not isomerize to 10-(R-ethynyl)-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ylium. In contrast, longlived 10,10-dimethyl-9-(3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-yn-1-yl)-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl cation derived from 9-(3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-yn-1-yl)-10,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ol undergoes partial isomerization to 10-(3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-yn-1-yl)-9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl cation.

A key step in the reaction mechanism is addition of SO2 to the superelectrophilic intermediates – protonated phenanthrenium cations.
