Strained cis,cis,cis,trans-tribenzo[5.5.5.6]fenestranes are accessible in good yield by two-fold cyclodehydration of cis-2,6-diphenylspiro[cyclohexane-1,2′-indane]-1′,3′-diols and the particularly high acidity of their ‘inverted’ benzylic bridgehead C–H bonds, causing facile epimerization to the more stable all-cis-tribenzo[5.5.5.6]fenestranes, is shown.
拉紧的顺、顺、顺、反-三苯并[5.5.5.6]窗烃可以通过对顺-2,6-二苯基螺[
环己烷-1,2′-印度]-1′,3′
-二醇进行两次环脱
水反应,获得良好的产率。其“倒转”的苯基桥头C-H键的特别高酸度使得在这里易于表异构化形成更稳定的全顺-三苯并[5.5.5.6]窗烃。
