Synthesis of Oxygen-Substituted Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes through Ir-Catalyzed Direct Borylation
摘要:
Direct C-H borylation of hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes (HBCs) has been achieved under iridium catalysis, which allows efficient synthesis of hydroxy-substituted HBCs by oxidation of the boryl groups. Further oxidation of dihydroxy HBC with phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) afforded tetraoxo-substituted HBC without any regioisomers, which can be considered as a pi-extended quinone.

high yields. The boryl groups have been transformed into various functionalities such as hydroxy, cyano, ethynyl, and amino groups. We have elucidated that the substituents significantly influence the photophysical properties of HBCs to enhance fluorescence quantum yields. DFT calculations revealed that the origin of the substituent effect is the lift in degeneracy in the frontier orbitals by an interaction
