RESUMO
Achiral and chiral isomers of dipyrenoheteroles were synthesized via alkyne benzannulation. The electronic properties of these compounds were examined using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The enantiomers of the chiral isomers were separated, and their optical properties were examined in circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence studies. The chiral isomers exhibited a large bathochromic shift, relative to the achiral isomer, in both absorbance and fluorescence, resulting from decreased symmetry, rather than a change in the size of the backbone.
RESUMO
A one-pot tandem Diels-Alder/Nazarov reaction of 1-aryl-3-(trimethylsilyl) ynones has been achieved to generate carbo- and heterocyclic fused ring systems in good to excellent yields. The ß-silyl effect is instrumental in accessing this otherwise challenging cascade annulation reaction. The tandem reaction proceeds in the presence of BCl3 to generate three new carbon-carbon bonds, a quaternary carbon, and two stereogenic centers with excellent diastereocontrol. A variety of substituted arenes, and even heteroaromatics, are tolerated to provide tricyclic products that are of interest as advanced intermediates toward biologically relevant compounds.
RESUMO
The construction of complex polycyclic terpenoid products in an efficient and step-economical manner using multicomponent and tandem processes is highly valuable. Herein, we report a tandem cyclization sequence that initiates with a multicomponent double Diels-Alder reaction of cross-conjugated diynones, followed by a Nazarov cyclization to efficiently produce [6-5-6] tricyclic products with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity. This methodology generates five new carbon-carbon bonds, three rings, quaternary or vicinal quaternary carbons, and stereogenic centers in a one-pot reaction.
