The treatment of [2.2]metacyclophanes with aluminum chloride gave a variety of hydropyrenes as the results of dehydrogenation, cycloisomerization, and disproportionation reactions. With ethylaluminum dichloride, however, a highly selective reaction occurred to give trans-trans-1,2,3,3a,4,5,9,10,10a,10b-decahydropyrene. Revised structures were presented for cis-cis- and trans-trans-decahydropyrenes
作为脱氢、环异构化和歧化反应的结果,用氯化铝处理 [2.2] 间环芳烃会产生多种氢芘。然而,使用二氯化乙基铝时,发生了高度选择性的反应,生成反式-反式-1,2,3,3a,4,5,9,10,10a,10b-十氢芘。基于 13 C NMR 和 X 射线晶体学分析,提出了针对顺-顺-和反-反-十氢芘的修订结构。

When 8-methoxy[2.2]metacyclophanes 5 are treated with benzyl trimethylammonium tribromide in dichloromethane, the transannular reaction products, tetrahydropyrene 6 and 7 are obtained along with 5-bromo-8-methoxy[2.2]metacyclophanes 8. The bromination of 5-tert-butyl-8-methoxy[2.2]metacyclophanes 9a-9g in dichloromethane is carried out under the same conditions to afford tetrahydropyrene derivatives exclusively. On the other hand, when the bromination reactions are performed in various alcohols, alkoxy-substituted tetrahydropyrenes 11 and 12 are obtained in good yields, which are easily dehydrogenated with DDQ to afford the corresponding pyrene derivatives. The reaction mechanisms of the above reactions are also discussed.
