4-Π Photocyclisation: a New Route to Functionalised Four-Membered Rings 4- Photocyclisation: A New Route to Functionalised Four-Membered Rings Thomas Britten This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2019 School of Chemistry Dedicated to Elsie Daisy Alice Moore (1916-2018) and Karin Dixon Wilkins (1962-2015) i Declaration This thesis has not been submitted in support of an application for another degree at this or any other university. It is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated. Many of the ideas in this thesis were the product of discussion with my supervisor Dr Susannah Coote. Thomas K. Britten MChem Lancaster University, UK ii Abstract The work disclosed within this thesis describes the use of photochemistry to develop efficient and scalable methodology to access functionalised four-membered rings. Chapter 2 examines the synthesis and synthetic potential of 1,2-dihydropyridazines. The feasibility of the current literature syntheses of 1,2-dihydropyrdazines on multigram scales has been investigated, which has resulted in the development of a novel, scalable route to unsubstituted 1,2-dihydropyridazines. Currently, the synthesis is not amenable to the synthesis of substituted 1,2-dihydropyridazines. 1,2-Dihydropyridazines are precursors to interesting molecular scaffolds through double bond transformations, however in some cases the isolated product was not the expected product. Chapter 3 investigates the optimisation and scale up of the 4-π photocyclisation of 1,2- dihydropyridazines using commercially available batch and flow photoreactors. The use of a batch photoreactor gave better yields, purity and productivity for the synthesis of bicyclic 1,2- diazetidines compared to the flow photoreactor. The photophysical properties of 1,2- dihydropyridazines have been studied and the data has provided guidance for optimisation and rationale for the observed results. Chapter 4 explores the stability and synthetic potential of bicyclic 1,2-diazetidines to access functionalised 1,2-diazetidines, cyclobutenes and other products that were not expected at the outset of the project. Attempts to access cyclobutenes (through N-N cleavage) were unsuccessful due to a facile 4-π electrocyclic ring opening, whereas it was possible to synthesis a range of novel monocyclic functionalised 1,2-diazetidines. Chapter 5 provides overall conclusions, as well as a comparison of the synthesised compounds to Lipinski’s “rule of five” and lead-like space using open access software and ideas for future work Chapters 6 and 7 will provide the experimental details and characterisation of novel compounds that have been reported in this thesis. The appendix gives details on the X-ray crystal structures and differential scanning calorimetry traces for a select few examples. iii Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr Susannah Coote for all her help, support and guidance throughout my PhD.

General Introduction Organofluorine compounds often exhibit unique properties and behaviors in comparison with nonfluorinated parent compounds, playing important roles as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Because of the high bond dissociation energy of C–F bonds, organofluorine compounds are resistant to heat and chemicals, and stable to metabolism. In addition, organofluorine compounds have high lipophilicity.

  • Cyclobutene Photochemistry. Steric Effects on the Photochemical Ring Opening of Alkylcyclobutenes
    1688 J. Am. Chem. SOC.1995,117, 1688-1694 Cyclobutene Photochemistry. Steric Effects on the Photochemical Ring Opening of Alkylcyclobutenes William J. Leigh* and J. Albert0 Postigo Contribution ffom the Department of Chemistry, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada US4Ml Received August 19, 1994@ Abstract: Quantum yields for photochemical ring opening and cycloreversion in hydrocarbon solution have been determined for the direct photolysis (214 nm) of six 1,2-dimethylcyclobutenederivatives which contain methyl groups at C3 and C4 in numbers varying from zero to four. As the hydrogens on C& of the parent compound (1,2- dimethylcyclobutene)are replaced with increasing numbers of methyl groups, the total quantum yield for ring opening increases to a maximum of -0.3 and then decreases with further methyl substitution. The quantum yields for ring opening (&tal) of hexamethylcyclobutene and 1,2-dimethylcyclobuteneare nearly the same, and the lowest in the series. The maximum occurs with trans- 1,2,3,4-tetramethylcyclobutene;q5tod for the cis-isomer is significantly lower, but both yield an approximate 1:l mixture of formally allowed and forbidden diene isomers. A similar trend is observed in the relative quantum yields for ring opening and cycloreversion throughout the series. The results are interpreted in terms of a combination of bond strength and steric effects on the efficiency of the ring-opening process. Increasing methyl substitution causes an increase in @total through the first three members of the series owing to progressive weakening of the C3-C4 bond. Compounds containing cis-dimethyl substitution exhibit substantially reduced quantum yields for ring opening, relative to what would be expected based on bond strength effects alone.

  • Cyclobutene Photochemistry. Identification of the Excited States Responsible for the Ring-Opening and Cycloreversion Reactions of Alkylcyclobutenes

Leigh,*?" K. Zheng,= N. Nguyen, N. H. Werstiuk, and J. Ma" Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada US4Ml. Received November 28, 1990. Revised Manuscript Received March 7, 1991 Abstract: Two substituted bicyclic cyclobutene derivatives-7-methyl- and 7-(trifluoromethyl)bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-7-enehave been prepared. Gas- and solution-phase UV absorption and He1 UV photoelectron spectra have been recorded for the two compounds as well as for the parent hydrocarbon bicyclo[4.2.0]oct-7-ene. The gas-phase spectra suggest that the a,R(3s) state is the lowest energy state in bicyclo[4.2.0]octene and the 7-methyl derivative but is raised to higher energies than the *,A* state in the 7-trifluoromethylderivative. Direct photolysis of the three compounds in hydrocarbon solution with monochromatic far-UV (1 93 and 214 nm) light leads to competitive ring opening to the corresponding cis,cis- and cis,trans-l,3-cyclooctadiene derivatives, as well as fragmentation to cyclohexene and alkyne in all three cases. Product quantum yields (193-nm excitation) have been measured for both substituted derivatives relative to those for the parent compound. The quantum yields of fragmentation products are highest for the methyl- and unsubstituted compounds, suggesting that these products arise from a Rydberg-like excited state. In contrast, ring opening is most efficient for the trifluoromethyl-substituted compound, although the diene distributions obtained from the reaction do not vary throughout the series.

The smallest member of this hydrocarbon family was proposed by Ladenburg in 1869 as structure for benzene, and more than a century ago, the existence of triprimane became part of a discussion about cage compounds. Formally these cage compounds consist of an even number of methine units positioned at the corners of a regular prism. It's very high symmetry and their complex structure makes them not only difficult to preparate, but also highly strained. The conservation of orbital symmetry, publicised by Woodward and Hoffmann, is the most important facet about the durableness of triprismane and its thermodynamic stability. In 1965 Woodward won the nobel prize of chemistry for these rules. Seite 1 von 9 1.)

  • An Indicator of Triplet State Baird-Aromaticity
    inorganics Article The Silacyclobutene Ring: An Indicator of Triplet State Baird-Aromaticity Rabia Ayub 1,2, Kjell Jorner 1,2 ID and Henrik Ottosson 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemistry—BMC, Uppsala University, Box 576, SE-751 23 Uppsala, Sweden; [email protected] (R.A.); [email protected] (K.J.) 2 Department of Chemistry-Ångström Laboratory Uppsala University, Box 523, SE-751 20 Uppsala, Sweden * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-18-4717476 Received: 23 October 2017; Accepted: 11 December 2017; Published: 15 December 2017 Abstract: Baird’s rule tells that the electron counts for aromaticity and antiaromaticity in the first ππ* triplet and singlet excited states (T1 and S1) are opposite to those in the ground state (S0). Our hypothesis is that a silacyclobutene (SCB) ring fused with a [4n]annulene will remain closed in the T1 state so as to retain T1 aromaticity of the annulene while it will ring-open when fused to a [4n + 2]annulene in order to alleviate T1 antiaromaticity. This feature should allow the SCB ring to function as an indicator for triplet state aromaticity. Quantum chemical calculations of energy and (anti)aromaticity changes along the reaction paths in the T1 state support our hypothesis. The SCB ring should indicate T1 aromaticity of [4n]annulenes by being photoinert except when fused to cyclobutadiene, where it ring-opens due to ring-strain relief. Keywords: Baird’s rule; computational chemistry; excited state aromaticity; Photostability 1. Introduction Baird showed in 1972 that the rules for aromaticity and antiaromaticity of annulenes are reversed in the lowest ππ* triplet state (T1) when compared to Hückel’s rule for the electronic ground state (S0)[1–3].
