Nonplanar Tub-shaped Benzocyclooctatetraenes via Halogen-Radical Ring Opening of Dihydrobiphenylenes

A novel tandem Ru-catalyzed [2 + 2 +2] cycloaddition of arylenynes to dihydrobiphenylenes followed by halogen-radical ring opening has been developed for the construction of tub-shaped halogenated benzocyclooctatetraenes (bCOTs). Cross-couplings and Diels-Alder reactions of the brominated bCOTs allo...

Sumario:A novel tandem Ru-catalyzed [2 + 2 +2] cycloaddition of arylenynes to dihydrobiphenylenes followed by halogen-radical ring opening has been developed for the construction of tub-shaped halogenated benzocyclooctatetraenes (bCOTs). Cross-couplings and Diels-Alder reactions of the brominated bCOTs allow the formation of the corresponding eight-membered ring fused PAHs. The halogen-radical ring opening prob-ably occurs via a selective formation of a bis-allyl radical at the 1,3-cyclohexadiene moiety, halogenation at the bridgehead carbon and final electrocyclic ring opening.
