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.

[reaction: see text] Treatment of 2-((3Z)-undecene-1,5-diynyl)benzonitrile with 5 equiv of sodiummethoxide in refluxing methanol for 16 h gave 1-pentyl-6-methoxyphenanthridine in 12% yield, 1-pentyl-6-phenanthridone in 6% yield, and 2-(2-pentyl-6-methoxyphenyl)benzonitrile in 4% yield. Under the same reaction conditions, methanolysis of several other benzonitriles gave similar results. Phenanthridine
