Fluorination of the tetraphenylethene core: synthesis, aggregation-induced emission, reversible mechanofluorochromism and thermofluorochromism of fluorinated tetraphenylethene derivatives
The substitution patterns in fluorinated tetraphenylethenes affect the emission properties, mechano- and thermofluorochromism, compared to those of the parent TPE.
Synthesis of Multisubstituted Triphenylenes and Phenanthrenes by Cascade Reaction of <i>o</i>-Iodobiphenyls or (<i>Z</i>)-β-Halostyrenes with <i>o</i>-Bromobenzyl Alcohols through Two Sequential C–C Bond Formations Catalyzed by a Palladium Complex
bearing both nucleophilic and electrophilic substituents, for the facile synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. A palladium/electron-deficient phosphine catalyst efficiently coupled o-iodobiphenyls or (Z)-β-halostyrenes with o-bromobenzyl alcohols to afford triphenylenes and phenanthrenes, respectively. The present cascade reaction proceeded through deacetonative cross-coupling and sequential intramolecular
benzannulation with o-bromobenzyl alcohols enabled the facile construction of phenanthrene skeletons via the sequential multiple carbon–carbon bond formations. A variety of multisubstituted phenanthrenes were synthesized by the reaction of (Z)-β-halostyrenes with o-bromobenzyl alcohols as well as by the three-component coupling of alkynes, aryl bromides, and o-bromobenzyl alcohols. The electron-deficient phosphine
Palladium-catalyzeddoublecross-couplingreactions of 1,1-bis(pinacolato)borylalk-1-enes with 2,2′-dibromobiaryls and of 9-stannafluorenes with 1,1-dibromoalk-1-enes have been demonstrated to serve as new synthetic methods for dibenzofulvenes.
