Synthesen und chemisches Reaktionsverhalten neuer überbrückter Chinonderivate. Kupplungsreaktionen von Diazoniumsalzen mit 2-Methoxy-1,6-methano [10]annulen

Syntheses and Chemical Properties of New Bridged Quinone Derivatives. Coupling Reactions of Aryldiazonium Salts with 2-Methoxy-1,6-methano[10]annulene Coupling of 2-methoxy-1,6-methano[10]annulene (3) with the aryldiazonium salts 4a-4i yields the quinone hydrazones 5a-5i. The spectroscopic properties of these products are described. The reaction of 3 with 4-nitrophenyldiazonium tetrafluoroborate buffered with sodium acetate in dry methanol yielded after chromatographic separation the azo derivative 7 on the one hand and a mixture of the valence tautomers 8a and 8b on the other.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften ethinylierter und trimethylsilylethinylierter Molekülsysteme mit 1,6-Methano[10]annulen-Partialstruktur

2-Trimethylsilylethinylated 1,6-methano[10]annulene1 a was obtained by reaction of 2-bromo-1,6-methano[10]annulene with trimethylsilylacetylene in the presence of bis-(triphenylphosphin-)-Pd (II) chloride and Cu(I) and also by reaction of 1,1-diiodo-2-(1,6-methano[10]annulene-2-yl)-ethene (2) withn-buthyl-lithium followed by hydrolysis.1 a reacts with 2N NaOH to 2-ethinyl-1,6-methano[10]annulene (1 b). 2,7- and 2,10-dibromo-1,6-methano[10]annulene can be substituted to give the trimethylsilylethinylated compounds3 a–6 a, which then can be transformed with 2N NaOH into the desilylated products3 b–5 b.

Stabilized and destabilized carbocations in the 1,6-methano[10]annulene series

2-Chloromethyl and 3-chloromethyl-1,6-methano[10]annulene systems solvolyze in methanol to give simple substitution products. Solvent effect studies and the special salt effect support the involvement of cationic intermediates stabilized by the 1,6-methano[10]annulene group. Rate data indicate that the degree of cation stabilization greatly exceeds that of naphthyl groups. B3LYP/6-31G computational studies also suggest that the cationic intermediates are greatly stabilized by the 1,6-methano[10]annulene. By way of contrast to these findings, solvolytic and computational studies indicate that the 11-(1,6-methano[10]annulenyl) cation is a destabilized analogue of the cycloheptatrienyl cation. There are no favorable interactions with the annulene ring. Distortions from planarity prevent charge delocalization as in the analogous aromatic cycloheptatrienyl cation.

Carbene elimination from ionized methanoannulenes

Evidence is produced to demonstrate that loss of CH₂ from methanoannulenes is a multistep process initiated by a rearrangement yielding (at least in the case of 1,6-methano[10]annulene) the isomeric benzocycloheptenes. Loss of CF₂, however, apparently is a cheletropic reaction accompanied by rearomatization, thus giving rise to the formation of the molecular ion of naphthalene in the case of 11,11-difluoro-1,6-methano[10]annulene. These findings present further evidence for the parallel behaviour of the bridged annulenes regarding thermal transformations and fragmentation of the molecular ions.

Syntheses and Properties of Donor/Acceptor Arylethynyl-Substituted 1, 6-Methano[10]annulenes

The stepwise palladium-catalyzed coupling of dibromo-1,6-methano[10]annulene derivatives to a phenyl-acetylene substituted by an electron-withdrawing group followed by coupling with a phenylacetylene possessing an electron-donating group allows the preparation of donor/acceptor systems which contain three aromatic moieties linked by ethynediyl bridges. The same type of cross-coupling starting from 2-ethynyl-1,6-methano[10]annulene and bromo-substituted azobenzene derivatives provides easy access to a new class of azo dyes. The properties of these compounds are compared to those of analogous compounds containing only benzene rings.     

Neue 1,6-Methano[10]annulen-Derivate durch Umlagerungsreaktionen der Trimethylsilyl-Gruppe

New Derivatives of 1,6-Methano[10]annulene by Rearrangement of Trimethylsilyl Groups Oxidation of derivatives of trimethylsilyl-substituted bicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-1,3,5,7-tetraenes 1–3 leads to 1,6-methano[10]annulenes. In the case of 2 and 3a , rearrangement of the trimethylsilyl group takes place. This rearrangement can be used to prepare 2,9-disubstituted 1,6-methano[10]annulenes.     

‘Oligomere' Kondensationsprodukte von (1E,3E,5E)‐1,6‐Di(2‐furyl)hexa‐1,3,5‐trien mit Acetaldehyd: Tetrahydro‐tetramethyl‐octaepoxy[60]annulen(6.1.6.1.6.1.6.1)

Oligomeric Condensation Products of (1 E ,3 E ,5 E )‐1,6‐Di(2‐furyl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene with Acetaldehyde: Tetrahydro‐tetramethyl‐octaepoxy[60]annulene(6.1.6.1.6.1.6.1) The Ca(NO₃)₂‐induced condensation of (1E,3E,5E)‐1,6‐di(2‐furyl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene ( 6 ) with acetaldehyde yields the linear ‘oligomers' 7 – 11 with 2–6 1,6‐di(2‐furyl)hexa‐1,3,5‐triene units and 1–4 acetaldehyde units, besides a cyclic condensation product 12 obtained from 4 equiv. of 6 with 4 equiv. of acetaldehyde. According to spectroscopic studies, 12 is the tetrahydro‐tetramethyl‐octaepoxy[60]annulene(6.1.6.1.6.1.6.1) as the most expanded annulene system known so far. While the dehydrogenation of 12 to give the tetramethyl‐octaepoxy[60]annulene(6.1.6.1.6.1.6.1) cannot be achieved, the oxidation of 12 with Br₂ yields a black, in all organic solvents nearly insoluble solid 14 , which possibly is the tetramethyl‐octaepoxy[58]annulene(6.1.6.1.6.1.6.1) dication. Because of the insolubility of 14 , unfortunately most of its spectroscopic data are not available. However, the λ_max values in the UV/VIS/NIR spectrum of 14 (Soret and Q bands) are in line with the values of the tetraepoxy[26]annulene(4.2.4.2) dication, the tetraepoxy[30]annulene(4.4.4.4) dication, and the tetraepoxy[34]annulene(6.4.6.4) dication.

Massenspektroskopische Fragmentierungsreaktionen. XX—Zur Frage der elektronenstoß-induzierten Carbenabspaltung

The electron impact induced decomposition of 1,6-methano[10]annulene and of its bridge substituted derivatives has been investigated in view of a possible climination of a carbene and formation of ionized naphthalene. While carbene elimination is not observed with the parent hydrocarbon (<0.5% rel. int.), it is a prominent fragmentation path for its 11-halogen and 11,11-dihalogen derivatives. Elimination of the bridge is observed also with 1,6-methano[10]annulenes carrying C-substituents at C-11. It cannot be determined, however, whether the neutral particle lost is a carbene or a rearranged species. The analogy between thermal and electron impact decomposition is commented upon.     

Aromaticity and Homoaromaticity in Methano[10]annulenes

Aromaticity and neutral homoaromaticity have been evaluated in methano[10]annulenes systems, 1,4-methano[10]annulene (1), 1,5-methano[10]annulene (2), and 1,6-methano[10]annulene (3). C-C bond lengths indicate that 1 presents higher bond alternation than 2 and 3. The relative energies were determined at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level, and they pointed out that 3 is the most stable isomer. Strain energies, evaluated employing homodesmotic reactions, show the same order as the relative energies. Through a decomposition of strain energies, it could be concluded that the rings absorb more tension than the bridges. The changes in aromaticity were evaluated by magnetic susceptibilities, chiM, HOMA, NICS, and resonance energies, RE. HOMA, RE, and chiM indicate that 2 and 3 are strongly, and 1 is fairly, aromatic. NICS does not provide reliable results, due to interference of ring and bridge atoms. NBO analysis presents some interactions that suggest the existence of neutral homoaromaticity. GPA indices (evaluated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level) point out that homoaromaticity plays a relevant role only in 3. Moreover, this work is the first in the current literature that studies 1,4-methano[10]annulene (1).     

Discreteness of π-conjugation of 1,6-methano[10]annulene by troponoid fusion at the 3,4-positions

The tropone-fused 1,6-methano[10]annulene 4 was synthesized from 3,4-bis(bromomethyl)-1,6-methano[10]annulene and the protonation of 4 provided the hydroxytropylium ion-fused annulene 5. ¹H NMR spectra of 4 and 5 exhibited an unequal shielding effect on the bridge hydrogens from the resulted π ring system, suggesting the existence of the significant homoconjugative transannular interaction on the nonadjacent carbons at the bridge and the discreteness of π-conjugation of the annulene between two bonds at the C7-C8 and C11-C12 to localize the C8-11 dienyl and the remaining parts. The X-ray crystallographic structures of 4 and 5 show relatively short atomic distance between those bridge carbons, and clear bond alternation of the dienyl part and the bond convergence of the remaining part in these compounds, supporting the spectral properties.
