Anionic Cycloaromatization of 1-Aryl-3-hexen-1,5-diynes Initiated by Methoxide Addition: Synthesis of Phenanthridinones, Benzo[c]phenanthridinones, and Biaryls
摘要:
Treatment of 2-((Z)-6-substituted-3-hexene-1,5-diynyl)benzonitriles with sodium methoxide in refluxing methanol in the presence of a polar aprotic solvent, such as DMSO, HMPA, THF, or 18-crown-6, gave phenanthridinones in 21-77% yields. In these cases, addition of 10% DMSO into the reaction mixture gave the highest yield. On the other hand, methanolysis of 2-(2-(2-dalkynylphenyl)ethynyl)benzonitriles under the same reaction conditions gave benzo[c]phenanthridinones in 31-57% yields. Methanolysis of (Z)-1-aryl-3-hexen-1,5-diynes in the presence of 2 equiv of tetrabutylammonium iodide gave biaryls in 14-64% yields. It is found that the reactions with aryl groups bearing electron-withdrawing groups proceeded at greater rates and gave better yields.

electrochemical C–H functionalization reactions have emerged as attractive tools for organic synthesis. This process offers an alternative to conventional methods that require harsh chemical oxidants. However, this electrolysis requires divided cells to avoid catalyst deactivation by cathodic reduction. Herein, we report the first example of palladium-catalyzed electrochemical C–H alkylation of arenes using
