C-Ethynylpyrroles or -indoles, which can be prepared by cross-coupling of pyrroles or indoles with haloalkynes on active surfaces, undergo [2+2]-cycloaddition reactions with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone to give 2-pyrrolyl- or 3-indolylbicyclooctadienes in almost quantitative yields. The adducts are charge-transfer complexes that are paramagnetic in the solid state, and therefore represent a new family of densely functionalized pyrrole and indole derivatives potentially useful as pharmaceutical candidates, highly potent building blocks, or precursors of advanced materials. The reaction contributes to the practical and basic chemistry of pyrroles, indoles, alkynes, and quinones.
C-乙炔基吡咯或吲哚,可通过吡咯或吲哚与卤代炔烃在活性表面上进行交叉耦合制备,与2,3-二氯-5,6-二氰基-1,4-苯醌发生[2+2]环加成反应,以几乎定量的产率生成2-吡咯基或3-吲哚基双环辛二烯。这些加成物是固态下顺磁性的电荷转移复合物,因此代表了一类新型的密集功能化吡咯和吲哚衍生物,可能作为潜在的药物候选者、高效构建模块或高级材料的前体。该反应促进了吡咯、吲哚、炔烃和醌的实用及基础化学研究。
