Arching a bay area of triphenyleno[1,12-bcd]thiophene with group 14 functionalities: Synthesis of the first triphenylene derivatives having thiophene and metallafluorene moieties
摘要:
Arching a bay area of triphenyleno[1,12-bcd]thiophene with group 14 functionalities gave the first triphenylene derivatives whose two pairs of bay carbons are connected by two different heteroatom functionalities. Triphenyleno[1,12-bcd:4,5-b'c'd']dithiophene, which had been only accessible through the very severe reaction conditions, was synthesized under the mild reaction conditions. Photophysical properties of newly-obtained heterolotriphenylene derivatives are discussed with theoretical calculations. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
After the protection of two alpha-carbons of the dibenzothiophene moiety in triphenylenothiophene 1 by trimethylsilyl groups, the resulting compound 4 reacted with butyllithium followed by dichlorodimethylsilane to afford 10H-silolo[2',3',4',5':4,5]triphenyleno[1,12-bcd]thiophene 8, which reacted with butyllithium followed by dichlorodimethylsilane to afford novel heterasumanene 11. Using dichlorodimethylstannane instead of dichlorodimethylsilane afforded heterasumanene 12, which is the first example of a heterasumanene having three different heteroatom functionalities.
