Synthesis of novel lantern-shaped molecules based on resorcin[4]arene and m-terphenyl units
摘要:
Novel lantern-shaped molecules with a large enclosure were synthesized by taking advantage of resorcin[4]arene and m-terphenyl units as the capping and bottom fragments, respectively. Two conformers with different cavity volume were obtained selectively by changing the substituent on the bottom unit.

m-Terphenyl tetraphenol 4 (Scheme I) and tetrabenzyl alcohol 19 (Scheme IV) were efficiently synthesized from 2,6-dichloroiodobenzene and an appropriate aryl Grignard, using tandem aryne technology. Each tetrol was used to construct bicyclic oxacyclophanes by linking the 3,3" and 5,5" substituents with bis-alkylating or acylating agents. Examples are 7, 14, 15, and 20-24. Only the meta isomer of xylylene dichloride formed a bicyclic oxacyclophane with 4; the ortho and para isomers gave polymers. However all three isomers gave oxacyclophanes (i.e., 10-12) with the diphenol 9 (only one link across the m-terphenyl framework) and bicyclic oxacyclophanes with 19 (i.e., 20-22), where each link contains two additional atoms. Para-linked 12 and 21 show restricted rotation of the p-xylylene rings. Two noninterconvertible conformers were obtained when the m-xylylene linking group contained a vicinal methoxy substituent (i.e., 15uu and 15ud).

An unusually facile intermolecular chlorine atom transfer process has been discovered between the phospha-Wittig reagents ArP=PMe3 and ArPCl2 (Ar is a sterically hindered aryl group). The atom transfer process is catalyzed by added PMe3. A mechanism is forwarded that is based upon a Me3P/Me3PCl2 couple that allows shuttling of chlorine atoms between ArP groups. This unique transfer process is exploited to evaluate the steric properties of aryl groups via an equilibrium process.
