Photochemical and Thermal Reactions of a Kinetically Stabilized 9-Silaanthracene: The First Spectroscopic Observation of a 9,10-Dewar-9-silaanthracene Isomer
摘要:
A kinetically stabilized 9-silaanthracene (1) underwent unique photochemical and thermal reactions to afford 9,10-Dewar-9-silaanthracene 2a and the head-to-tail [4 + 4] dimer 3, respectively. The structure of 2a was confirmed by 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectra, and the kinetic parameters for the thermal reversion of 2a to 1 were obtained by the measurement of UV/vis spectra. The dimer 3 was thermally stable, and the molecular structure of 3 was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. It was experimentally demonstrated for the first time that 9-silaanthracene, as well as anthracene, can afford either the Dewar isomer or [4 + 4] dimer, depending on the reaction conditions.

compound: A kineticallystabilized9‐silaanthracene reacted with polycyclicaromatichydrocarbons to afford [4+2]cycloadducts (for anthracene derivatives) or [4+4]cycloadducts (for tetracene and pentacene) depending on the kind of reactants. The molecular structures of the cycloadducts were determined by spectroscopic and X‐ray crystallographic analysis. These results indicate the high reactivity of 9‐silaanthracene
