Abstract: | Generation and NMR studies of novel carbocations and carboxonium ions are reported from sterically hindered stilbene 1,1'-bi(benzocyclobutenylidene) 1, its dimethoxy derivative 5, and from their skeletally rearranged derivatives, namely, the spirocyclic ketone 6, diastereomeric alcohols 7 and isomeric diols 8. Quenching experiments on the carbocations under various conditions resulted in the formation/isolation of several novel covalent adducts. Acid-catalyzed isomerization of the diols 8 produced a remarkable dimeric molecule, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Reactions of hindered stilbenes 1 and 5 with Br 2/CDCl 3 were examined via NMR experiments. The experimentally observed carbocations were also studied computationally by GIAO-DFT and by NICS. |
