A seven-membered-ring allene dimer: synthesis of 1,2-benzo-1,3,4-cycloheptatriene and attempted synthesis of 1,2-benzo-1,4,5-cycloheptatriene
摘要:
7,7-Dibromo-3,4-benzobicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (6) and 7,7-dibromo-2,3-benzobicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (14) have been synthesized and their silver ion-catalyzed reactions studied. Hydroxy alcohol 7a was converted to the corresponding vinyl bromide 10. Reaction of 10 with base gave the hydrocarbon 12, instead of the expected allene 4. Hydroxy alcohol 15a was converted to the corresponding mesylate 20, but all attempts to reduce 20 to the expected vinyl bromide 23 failed. Instead, unexpected ether 21 was obtained. Therefore, 15a was treated with PBr3 to give 22, which upon treatment with LiAlH4 gave the vinyl bromide 23. Reaction of 23 'with potassium tert-butoxide produced strained bicyclic allene 5, which underwent a dimerization to give 24. Addition of tetracyanoethylene to dimer 24 resulted in the formation of 26, whose structure was investigated by X-ray crystallography.

A Ni-catalyzed halogenation of enol triflates was developed and it enables the synthesis of a broad range of alkenyl iodides, bromides, and chlorides under mild reaction conditions. The reaction utilizes inexpensive, bench-stable Ni(OAc)2 ⋅4 H2 O as a precatalyst and proceeds at room temperature in the presence of sub-stoichiometric Zn and either 1,5-cyclooctadiene or 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine

Triethylamine catalyzedrearrangement of the substituted bicyclic cycloheptatriene endoperoxides 9, 10,12, 13, 20, 21, 22 and 30 underwent different reaction modes and resulted in the formation of ring contraction products in the case of 9, 10, 12 and 13. However, 20, 21, and 30 provided rearranged diketones 23, 24 and 32 almost in quantitative yield. The mechanism of these reactions was discussed
