Facile one-pot fluorination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with N-fluoro-2,4-dinitroimidazole; scope and limitation
摘要:
The synthetic utility of N-fluoro-2,4-dinitro-imidazole 'NF-2,4-DNI', a recently introduced NF fluorinating agent, has been tested for direct one-pot fluorination of several classes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs, namely pyrene, crowded alkyl(cycloalkyl)-pyrenes; hexahydro- and tetrahydro-pyrene; benzo[a] anthracene; benzo[a]- and benzo[e]pyrene; perylene; 2,7-di-tert-butylphenanthrene; chrysene; 9-methylanthracene and anthracene, as well as trans-15, 16-dimethyl-dihydropyrene; azuleno[1,2-a] acenaphthylene and azulene. Although the isolated yields are modest, the ease of handling of the reagent, simple operation (reflux in dichloroethane for 3 days) and the use of 1.1 equivalent of the reagent makes the procedure quite attractive for polynuclear aromatics, avoiding multi-step operations (NO2-PAH-->NH2-PAH-->N-2(+)-PAH-->F-PAH) or the use of toxic or costly reagents (CF3OF, XeF2, etc.); it provides direct one-pot access to a variety of F-PAHs that are not readily made using other fluorinating agents.

The synthesis of 13 trans-dimethyldihydropyrenes (bridged [14]annulenes) fused to one or more benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, phenalene, or quinoxaline rings and 6 cis-dihydropyrene derivatives from benzenoid precursors using either a thiacyclophane route or an electrocyclic addition of a furan to an annulyne followed by deoxygenation is reported. Their H-1 NMR spectra are studied in detail to obtain correlations between (3)J(H,H) coupling constants and the internal methyl proton chemical shifts and also between the latter and the more distant external annulene ring proton shifts. These linear correlations are then used to obtain a relationship between the relative aromaticity of benzene and the fused ring in question, such that the aromaticity of the fused ring can be estimated relative to that of a benzene ring simply from a measurement of chemical shift in the fused annulene.

The reversible valence isomerization of cyclophanedienes to dihydropyrenes is discussed for a number of [a]- and [e]-annelated examples, 5 --> 6 and 7 --> 8, and is related to AM1 and MM2+Pi calculations. Only in [e]-fused systems is the isomerization easily seen to be reversible, Electrophilic substitution of dihydropyrenes is discussed. Nitration of the highly annelated 20 gives a mixture of 8- and 7-nitro derivatives, while NBS/DMF bromination of the benzo[a]dihydropyrene 3 gives mostly la-bromo derivative.
