A convenient synthesis of 9,9-dialkyl-9,10-dihydroanthracenes and 10,10-dialkylanthrones: silicon-mediated regioselective dialkylation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene
摘要:
Described is a short and convenient approach to the synthesis of 9,9-dialkyl-9,10-dihydroanthracenes, 9,9,10-trialkyl-9,10-dihydroanthracenes, and 10,10-dialkylanthrones, some of which are otherwise unknown or inaccessible by conventional methods. Deprotonation of 9-(trimethylsilyl)-9,10-dihydroanthracene (2; 9-(trimethylsilyl)-9,10-DHA) followed by reaction with alkyl halides (RX) produces 9-alkyl-9-(trimethylsilyl)-9,10-DHAs 3-7 in 80-90% yields. Treatment of 3-7 with n-BuLi produces the 10-lithio derivatives that rearrange to 9-alkyl-9-lithio-10-(trimethylsilyl) intermediates; subsequent alkylation with RX generates 9,9-dialkyl-10-(trimethylsilyl)-9,10-DHAs 8-19. Formation of single stereoisomers 13-19 was suggested by NMR and confirmed in two cases, 15 and 16, by X-ray structure determination. The trimethylsilyl group is removed by tetra-butlyammonium fluoride (TBAF) to provide 9,9-dialkyl-9,10-DHAs 20-29 with impressive yields. Oxidation of either the 9,9-dialkyl-9,10-DHAs or 9,9-dialkyl-10-(trimethylsilyl)-9,10-DHAs with Cr(VI) oxidant furnished 10,10-dialkylanthrones 36-41 in 80-90% yields.

A trimethylsilyl (TMS) substituent is used to control the regiochemistry of alkylation in 9,10-dihydroanthracene (9,10-DHA) furnishing 9,9-dialkyl-10-TMS-9,10-DHAs. The TMS group is subsequently removed resulting in the first convenientsynthesis of a variety of 9,9-dialkyl-9,10-DHAs in good to excellent yields.
