Reaction of Hexachlorobenzene and (Pentachlorophenyl)lithium with .alpha.-Arylacetonitriles
摘要:
(Pentachlorophenyl)lithium (2) reacts with alpha-lithio-alpha-arylacetonitriles (4) at -70 degrees C to room temperature to supply alpha-aryl-alpha-(2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenyl)ace a. Small amounts of 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene (8) and trans-1,2-dicyano-1,2-diarylethylenes 9 are also obtained; however, no alpha-tetrachloroarylated nitriles 6 from 3,4,5,6-tetrachlorobenzyne were detected. Similar treatment of hexachlorobenzene (1) and 4 afforded alpha-aryl-alpha-(2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenyl)acetonitriles 10. The addition of 2 to 4 at tetrachlorobenzyne-generating temperatures (0-20 degrees C) gave a complex mixture containing mainly dimeric and polymeric materials; 6 was not found. A mechanism is proposed for the reaction of 2 and 4 which suggests that nitriles 7 are formed by the condensation of 2 and 4 via a four-centered transition state and that alkenes 9 are supplied by a base-mediated dimerization of alpha-chloro-alpha-arylacetonitriles 13, formed by a lithium-chlorine exchange between 2 and 4. Nitriles 10 most likely are provided from the reaction of 1 and 4 by the usual aromatic nucleophilic substitution pathway.

The C-Cl distances of the tetrachlorophenyl moiety in alpha-(2,3,5, 6-tetrachlorophenyl)-alpha-(3-thienyl)acetonitrile, (1), C12H5Cl4NS, are in the range 1.713(3)-1.720(3)Angstrom, and those of the pentachlorophenyl moiety in alpha-(3-methoxyphenyl)-alpha-(2,3,4,5,6-pentachloro phenyl)acetonitrile, (2), C15H8Cl5NO, are in the range 1.695 (9)-1.734 (8) Angstrom. The thienyl ring of compound (1) is almost planar and the dihedral angle between the phenyl and thienyl rings is 78.8 (1)degrees, while that between the two phenyl planes of compound (2) is 88.6(3)degrees.
