An intramolecular arene-triflate coupling reaction for the regiospecific synthesis of substituted benzofluoranthenes
摘要:
An intramolecular triflate-arene coupling reaction mediated by bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride has been developed for the synthesis of each of the isomeric benzofluoranthenes. This reaction, which results in formation of a new five-membered ring, proceeds in highest yield when performed using 0.1 equiv of the palladium catalyst, 3 equiv of lithium chloride, and 1.2 equiv of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in N,N-dimethylformamide at 140-degrees-C. The biaryl precursors needed for the coupling reaction can be prepared by [1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]nickel(II) chloride catalyzed coupling of an aryl bromide with an [o-(methoxymethoxy)aryl]magnesium bromide (prepared by ortho-lithiation of an aryl methoxymethyl ether followed by transmetalation with magnesium bromide). Using this procedure benzo[a]fluoranthene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[j]fluoranthene, and benzo[k]fluoranthene were prepared in yields of 84%, 85%, 93%, and 64%, respectively. The reaction to prepare benzo[j]fluoranthene was regiospecific and afforded none of the six-membered ring product, perylene. The method was extended to the preparation of benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF) derivatives with fluoro or methoxy groups on the benzo ring. The cyclization of compounds possessing a methoxy group on the same ring as the triflate required the addition of 0.4 equiv of triphenylphosphine to the reaction mixture. Strategies are reported for the regiospecific preparation of 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-substituted benzo[b]fluoranthenes. Evidence is presented which suggests the intermediacy of radicals in the oxidative-addition of aryl triflates to the palladium catalyst.

We have synthesized 7-fluoro-, 9-fluoro- and 11-fluoro- benzo[b]fluoranthene as part of a study designed to locate the molecular sites involved in the metabolic activation of the carcinogenic parent hydrocarbon. Analysis of the proton NMR spectra reveals the effect of fluorine substitution to be almost entirely localized in the substituted ring, the principal exception being a strong deshielding of
