A Strain Induced Change of Mechanism from a [2 + 2 + 2] to a [2 + 1 + 2 + 1] Cycloaddition Reaction
摘要:
While investigating the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition as a tool to build up strained oligophenyl systems with a diyne-ethylene glycol macrocyle, a surprising change of mechanism was observed. Instead of the expected [2 + 2 + 2] para-terphenyl, the ortho-terphenyl product explained by a formal [2 + 1 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition was formed. An eta(4)-coordinated metal-cyclobutadiene is proposed as the key structure in the catalytic cycle, which is formed to release the induced strain. The optical properties of the ortho-terphenyl products have been measured as well as the coordination ability of Na+ and K+.
