Dibromoisobenzofuran as a Formal Equivalent of Didehydroisobenzofuran: Reactive Platform for Expeditious Assembly of Polycycles
摘要:
Two-directional annulation of dibromoisobenzofuran, a formal equivalent to didehydroisobenzofuran, was developed. Importantly, selective bromine lithium exchange allows the tandem generation of benzynes and dual cycloadditions with two different arynophiles. Also described is the application to the synthesis of a substituted pentacene.
11‐octasubstituted pentacenequinonederivatives were prepared by the oxidation of 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11‐octasubstituted pentacenes, which were synthesized by the double homologation method. Oxidation of the pentacenes was carried out with H5IO6 or air and DDQ. These octasubstituted pentacenequinones were converted into 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,10,11,13‐decasubstituted or 2,3,6,9,10,13‐hexasubstituted pentacenederivatives by the
