Deltoid versus Rhomboid: Controlling the Shape of Bis-ferrocene Macrocycles by the Bulkiness of the Substituents
摘要:
Precise structural control of heteroannularly disubstituted ferrocene (Fc) structures is very challenging as the high rotational mobility of the Fc unit allows a large conformational diversity. Herein we present the syntheses, characterization, and electrochemical investigation of two complementary bis-ferrocene macrocycles, built up via Sonogashira cross coupling and intramolecular ring-closing reaction. While the X-ray structure of 1,2-ethynylbenzene bridged bis-ferrocene complex 1 shows a deltoidal conformation, a stretched oriented rhomboidal bis-ferrocene metalla-cycle 2 is formed when the peripheral benzene rings are decorated with bulky tert-butylsulfanyl groups. VT-NMR spectroscopy is used to assign the rotation of the embedded Fc units in rhomboid 2. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry (CV) of deltoid 1 and rhomboid 2 indicate that electronic communication between both ferrocenyl groups can be neglected, while the electrostatic through space coupling is significant.

Diynes containing a cyclopropane group smoothly undergo a novel intramolecular and stereoselective cascade addition/cyclization reaction to produce the corresponding 1‐methyleneindene derivatives in moderate to good yields. This interesting transformation is mediated by Grignard reagent/CuI with LiCl as an additive under mild conditions. The obtained product can easily be further functionalized through
Synthesis of [1,2,3]Triazolo[5,1-<b><i>a</i></b>]isoquinoline Derivatives via a Selective Cascade Cyclization Sequence of 1,2-bis(Phenylethynyl)benzene Derivatives
derivatives, using a selective cascade cyclization of unsymmetrical substituted 1,2-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene derivatives with NaN3, has been developed. The reaction gave different substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines in moderate to good yields. It was found that the substituents on the alkynes were important for the selectivities of the cascade cyclization sequences. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

A dual gold(I)‐catalyzed three‐component reaction is developed to prepare indene‐fused carboxylic acid derivatives from diynes, alcohols, and pyridine N‐oxides in both inter‐ and intramolecular fashions. Pyridine N‐oxides exhibit unique reactivity and selectivity to oxidize the gold vinylidene. Experimental studies and DFT calculations support ketene formation as the key step.
A general synthetic approach to strained p-phenylene-based acetylenic macrocycles is described. A key feature in this approach is exploitation of Dewar benzene as an angular p-phenylene synthon. Thus, 1,4-acetal-bridged 2,5-dichloro(Dewar benzene) 5, prepared in four steps from dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and 1,2-dichloroethylene, is applied as such a building block in the syntheses of strained macrocycles 13 and anti-20. For the synthesis of 13, m-phenylene units are used as spacers and modified Eglington-Glaser coupling is applied for the macrocyclization step. For the synthesis of anti-20, on the other hand, o-phenylene units are used as spacers and Sonogashira coupling is applied for the macrocyclization step. Macrocycles 13 and anti-20 are characterized crystallographically? and their strained nature is reflected mainly in the deviation of the acetylene units from linearity; the C=C-C angles range from 168.7(3)degrees to 179.9(3)degrees in 13 and from 168.0(5)degrees to 171.4(4)degrees in anti-20, Macrocycle 13 shows unique conformational property, namely, the p-phenylene units arranged in parallel in the rectangular framework rotate freely about the long axes, as evidenced by the H-1 NMR studies. Macrocycle anti-20 exhibits a Stokes shift of 179 nm, which is exceptionally large for phenylacetylene macrocycles, presumably owing to the characteristic stacking structure.
