Syntheses of dibenzo[c,e][1,2]diselenin and related novel chalcogenide heterocyclic compounds

Reaction of 2,2′-dilithio-1,1′-binaphthyl with selenium followed by air oxidation gives a mixture of dinaph-thoselenophene and dimer and oligomers of 2,2′-diseleno-1,1′-binaphthyl. 2,2′-Dilithio-1,1′-biphenyl reacts with selenium to afford dibenzo[c,e][1,2]diselenin. Structures of the dimeric 2,2′-diseleno-1,1′-binaphthyl and dibenzo[c,e][1,2]diselenin have been confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Similar reaction of 2,2′-dilithio-1,1′-binaphthyl with sulfur or tellurium gives a mixture of dinaphthothiophene and dinaphtho[2,1-c:-1′,2′-e][1,2]dithiin or a mixture of dinaphthotellurophene and oligomer of 2,2′-ditelluro-1,1′-binaphthyl, respectively. Dibenzotellurophene and oligomer of 2,2′-ditelluro-1,1′-biphenyl are obtained from reaction of 2,2′-dilithio-1,1′-biphenyl with tellurium.     

Embedding an allylmetal dimer in a chiral cavity: the unprecedented stereoselectivity of a twofold wittig [1,2]-rearrangement

After alpha,alpha'-dimetalation, both 2,2'-diallyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl and 2,2'-di-2-methylallyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl undergo the Wittig rearrangement with perfect diastereoselectivity. When racemic 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol ("BINOL") is used as the starting material, it gives rise to a 1:1 mixture of antipodal stereoisomers, whereas enantiomerically pure (M)-2,2'-diallyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl affords (M)-(S,S)-1,1-(1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl)bis(2-propen-1-ol) as the sole product. The (M)-(S,S)/(P)-(R,R) mixture resulting from the rearrangement of racemic 2,2'-diallyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl can be effectively subjected to a kinetic racemate resolution by applying the Sharpless-Katsuki asymmetric epoxidation. The single-sided Wittig rearrangement of 2-allyloxy-2'-propyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl proceeds without any diastereoselectivity as this substrate can only be monometalated and hence is incapable of intramolecular aggregate formation which is instrumental for the observed stereoselectivity.     

Synthesis of annulated oligothiophenes

Reactions of 1,1-di(2-naphthyl)-2,2-dichloroethene and 1,1-di(2-benzothienyl)-2,2-dichloroethene with sulfur at 220–225 °C resulted in hitherto unknown oligothiophenes. Tetrathio[6]helicene was synthesized from 1,1-di(3-benzothienyl)-2,2-dichloroethene. Preparative pathway to helicene involving intramolecular ring closure of dithiol derived from 1,1-di-(3-benzothienyl)-2,2-dichloroethene was developed as an alternative to high temperature synthesis.     

Synthesis of ansa-2,2′-bis[(4,7-dimethyl-inden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl and nsa-2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyltitanium and -zirconium dichlorides

2,2′-Bis[(4,7-dimethyl-inden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl and [2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium and -zirconium dichlorides have been synthesized from 2,2′-bis(bromomethyl)-1,1′-binaphthylene. 2,2′-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,1′-binaphthylene was alkylated with the lithium salt of 4,7-dimethylindene to yield 2,2′-bis[1-(4,7-dimethyl-indenylmethyl)]-1,1′-binaphthylene (S)-(−)-9. The lithium salt of 9 was metalated with either titanium trichloride followed by oxidation or zirconium tetrachloride to give titanocene dichloride (S)-(+)-10 and zirconocene dichloride 11. The known complexes ansa-[2,2′-bis[(1-indenyl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium and -zirconium dichlorides were formed and hydrogenated to ansa-[2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)methyl]-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium and -zirconium dichlorides 12 and 14 or to ansa-[2,2′-bis[(4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)methyl]-5,5′,6,6′,7,7′,8,8′-octahydro-1,1′-binaphthyl]titanium dichloride 13 whose solid state structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 13 adopts a C₁-symmetrical conformation in the solid state, but is conformationally mobile in solution, exhibiting C₂-symmetry in its room temperature NMR spectra.

New Pd-NHC-complexes for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction

The synthesis and structural characterization of novel chelating N-aryl substituted palladium(II)-biscarbene-complexes is reported: 1,1′-bis(4-bromophenyl)-3,3′-methylene-diimidazoline-2,2′-diylidene-palladium(II)-dibromide, 1,1′-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,3′-methylene-diimidazoline-2,2′-diylidene-palladium(II)-dibromide and 1,1′-bis(4-n-butoxyphenyl)-3,3′-methylenediimidazoline-2,2′-diylidene-palladium(II)-dibromide have been synthesized in good yields. The catalytic activity of these 1,1′-aryl-3,3′-methylenediimidazoline-2,2′-diylidene-palladium(II)-dihalogenide complexes was tested for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction in comparison to 1,1′-(bis)methyl-3,3′-methylenediimidazoline-2,2′-diylidene-palladium(II)-dihalogenide complexes and to 1,1′-bis(phenyl)-3,3′-methylene-diimidazoline-2,2′-diylidene-palladium(II)-dibromide. The activity of the aryl substituted catalysts is significantly higher compared to the methyl substituted NHC complexes. They also allow the coupling of arylchlorides with olefins.     

低价钛盐还原反应的研究——Ⅲ.2,2-二芳基-1,l,l-三氯乙烷与低价钛盐的反应

Syntheses of helical polymers through the combination of axially dissymmetric segments

Wholly aromatic polymers with various helical structures were prepared through the combination of two axially dissymmetric bifunctional compounds. The palladium-catalyzed condensation of (R)-2,2-diethoxy-6,6′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl with (R)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine and the reaction of (S)-2,2-diethoxy-6,6′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl with (S)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine produced helical polyamines, and the chiral conformation was confirmed by their circular dichroism spectra and large specific rotations. The combination of (R)-2,2-diethoxy-6,6′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl and (S)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine afforded polyamines with a zigzag conformation. The condensation of (R)-2,2′-dimethylbiphenyl-6,6′-dicarbonyl chloride with (R)-2,2′-diamino-6,6′-dimethylbiphenyl and the reaction of (S)-2,2′-dimethylbiphenyl-6,6′-dicarbonyl chloride with (S)-2,2′-diamino-6,6′-dimethylbiphenyl predominantly yielded cyclic dimers and tetramers because of the steric proximity of the reactive groups of the propagating species. The experimental results indicated that the structures of the obtained polymers depended on the combination of the chirality of the bifunctional atropisomeric compounds and the position of the functional groups on the aromatic rings. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mass spectral hydrogen rearrangements of 1,1′-bicycloalkyldiols under electron impact

1,1′-Bicycloalkyl-2,2′-diols (mixtures of stereoisomers) and 1,1′-diols on electron impact give rise to strong peaks equivalent to [M-1]⁺ions, corresponding to cycloalkenone fragments and obviously involving hydrogen atom migrations. Deuterium labelling and substitution techniques reveal the operation of different rearrangement mechanisms for the two series of isomeric compounds. Thus, in the 1,1′-bicycloalkyl-2,2′-diols a ring hydrogen atom is involved in the rearrangement, whereas in the 1,1′-bicycloalkyl-1,1′-diols (pinacols) the hydroxylic hydrogen atoms migrate.     

Investigation of reactions of the organozinc reagents prepared from zinc and dialkyl dibromomalonates with the derivatives of 2-arylmethyleneindan-1,3-dione and 5-arylmethylene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione

Enantioresolution of 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl oxide using inclusion complex with chiral 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphtyl

An enantioresolution of 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl oxide (BINAPO) into its enantiomers was achieved using the inclusion complex with a commerciallyavailable chiral 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl ((R)-BINOL), giving the two enantiomers with 99% ee and 72% ee, respectively.     

Scandium triflate-catalyzed 6,6′-diiodination of 2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl with 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin

Scandium triflate-catalyzed iodination of 2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl with 2 equiv of 1,3-diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DIH) proceeded to give 6,6′-diiodo-2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphtyl in 98% yield and subsequent deprotection of methyl groups provided 6,6′-diiodo-1,1′-binaphthol, which is a useful ligand or reagent for many enantioselective transformations. Use of 2 equiv of NIS in place of DIH in the presence of scandium triflate, however, did not successfully yield 6,6′-diiodo-2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphtyl, indicating that one of two types of iodine atoms in DIH is more reactive toward the iodination than iodine in NIS.

Multistimuli-Responsive Luminescence of Naphthalazine Based on Aggregation-Induced Emission

Stimuli-responsive luminescent materials, which are dependent on changes in physical molecular packing modes, have attracted more and more interest over the past ten years. In this study, 2,2-dihydroxy-1,1-naphthalazine was synthesized and shown to exhibit different fluorescence emission in solution and solid states with characteristic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. A remarkable change in the fluorescence of 2,2-dihydroxy-1,1-naphthalazine occurred upon mechanical grinding, heating, or exposure to solvents. According to the characterization by solid-state fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray powder diffraction, the fluorescence change could be attributed to transitions between two structurally different polymorphs. These significant properties could also give 2,2-dihydroxy-1,1-naphthalazine more potential applications as a multifunctional material.
