5H-Cycloprop[f]isobenzofuran (6) and the sulfur analogue 5H-cyclopropa[f][2] benzothiophen (18) have been prepared by a sequence of reactions involving trapping of 1,2-dibromocyclopropene with 3,4-dimethylidenetetrahydrofuran and 3,4-dimethylidenetetrahydrothiophen followed by sequential dehydrogenation and di-dehydrobromination. Both cyclopropa -fused heterocycles, like their parents, have limited stability. Several other 5,6-methylene-bridged and 5,6-disubstituted isobenzofurans (32) have been generated and characterized as their adducts with dimethyl fumarate . Second-order rate constants for the reaction of dimethyl fumarate with isobenzofuran, 5H-cycloprop[f] isobenzofuran as well as the series of substituted derivatives have been measured. The reactivity span is only one order of magnitude suggesting that π-bond fixation (the Mills-Nixon effect) does not play a significant role in determining the reactivity of (6).
5H- 环丙[f]异苯并呋喃(6)和硫类似物 5H- 环丙[f][2] 苯并噻吩(18)是通过一系列反应制备的,这些反应包括 1,2-二溴环丙烯与 3,4-二亚甲基四氢呋喃和 3,4-二亚甲基四氢噻吩的捕获反应,然后依次进行脱氢和二脱氢溴化反应。这两种环丙融合杂环与它们的母体一样,稳定性有限。其他几种 5,6-亚甲基桥式和 5,6-二取代异苯并呋喃(32)已经生成,并以它们与富马酸二甲酯的加合物进行了表征。测量了富马酸二甲酯与异苯并呋喃、5H-环丙[f]异苯并呋喃以及一系列取代衍生物反应的二阶速率常数。反应性跨度仅为一个数量级,这表明 π 键固定(米尔斯-尼克松效应)在决定 (6) 的反应性方面不起重要作用。
