The McMurry reaction of triptindan-9-one (2), a three-fold benzoannelated Cs-symmetrical [3.3.3]propellane ketone, gave trans -9,9’-bitriptindanylidene ( 5), a sterically crowded stilbene hydrocarbon bearing two E-oriented triptindane moieties, in good yield. Photoisomerization of 5 generated the corresponding cis -stilbene 8 in a photostationary E/Z-mixture (55 : 45), which adopts a similarly crowded C2- symmetrical conformation that is apparently static on the NMR timescale. Photocyclodehydrogenation of 5 via 8 in benzene solution afforded the title hydrocarbon 6, a 1,2,9,10-tetrahydrocyclopenta[ hi ]acephenanthrylene merged with two triptindane units, in 85% yield.

    TRIPTYCENE- AND BIPHENYLENE-BASED BIFUNCTIONAL LEWIS ACIDS AS ANION RECEPTORS A Dissertation by CHANG-HONG CHEN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, François P. Gabbaï Committee Members, Michael B. Hall Oleg V. Ozerov Melissa A. Grunlan Head of Department, Simon W. North August 2018 Major Subject: Chemistry Copyright 2018 Chang-Hong Chen ABSTRACT The chemistry of main group-based polydentate Lewis acids has drawn considerable attention over the past few decades, owing to application in anion sensing, anion transport, small molecule activation and catalysis. Bidentate Lewis acids featuring the rigid 1,8-naphthalenediyl or ortho-phenylene backbones are the most studied examples of such systems. Owing to the short spacing of the two Lewis acidic sites, these derivatives can only chelate monoatomic anions or polyatomic anions amenable to μ(1,1) ligation. Bearing in mind that this limitation could be overcome through modification of the backbone architecture, we have recently become interested in bidentate Lewis acids with an increased separation between the Lewis acidic centers. It occurred to us that triptycene and biphenylene backbones may offer extended separation between Lewis acidic centers, which may facilitate the selective complexation of larger anions. In this thesis, we report on the chemistry of triptycene- and biphenylene-based diboranes as large-bite bidentate Lewis acids for the μ(1,2) complexation of the cyanide anion as well as hydrazine. The results demonstrate that the biphenylene platform can be used as a support for hybrid ditopic Lewis acids containing both borane and borinic acid moieties.

  • Annulenes, Barrelene, Aromatic Ions and Antiaromaticity
    Annulenes, Barrelene, Aromatic Ions and Antiaromaticity Annulenes Monocyclic compounds made up of alternating conjugated double bonds are called annulenes. Benzene and 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene are examples of annulenes; they are named [6]annulene and [8]annulene respectively, according to a general nomenclature system in which the number of pi-electrons in an annulene is designated by a number in brackets. Some annulenes are aromatic (e.g. benzene), but many are not due to non- planarity or a failure to satisfy the Hückel Rule. Compounds classified as [10]annulenes (a Hückel Rule system) serve to illustrate these factors. As shown in the following diagram, 1,3,5,7,9-cyclodecapentaene fails to adopt a planar conformation, either in the all cis-configuration or in its 1,5-trans-isomeric form. The transannular hydrogen crowding that destabilizes the latter may be eliminated by replacing the interior hydrogens with a bond or a short bridge (colored magenta in the diagram). As expected, the resulting 10 π-electron annulene derivatives exhibit aromatic stability and reactivity as well as characteristic ring current anisotropy in the nmr. Naphthalene and azulene are [10]annulene analogs stabilized by a transannular bond. Although the CH2bridged structure to the right of naphthalene in the diagram is not exactly planar, the conjugated 10 π-electron ring is sufficiently close to planarity to achieve aromatic stabilization. The bridged [14]annulene compound on the far right, also has aromatic properties. Barrelene Formulation of the Hückel rule prompted organic chemists to consider the possible aromaticity of many unusual unsaturated hydrocarbons. One such compound was the 6 π- electron bicyclic structure, now known as barrelene.

This novel orbital model shows that pyramidal singlet diradical intermediates produced from thermal vibrational states of C8H8 isomers account for their chemical reactivity. ■ INTRODUCTION hyperconjugation5 suggeststhatitispossibletohave τ Cyclooctatetraene (COT) is capable of three fundamental antiperiplanar electronic delocalization involving bonds and that it can be applied to the Diels−Alder reaction,6 [1,3]- structural changes referred to as ring inversion, bond shifting, 7 and valence isomerization1,2 (Figure 1). The first of these sigmatropic alkyl thermal rearrangements, and high-temper- ature isomerization of benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydro- carbons.8 We have also shown that this model can rationalize the aldol addition reaction of ketones and aldehydes containing an α-alkoxy stereocenter9,10 as well as the important glycosylation step in carbohydrates.9 We wish now to report that the dynamic properties of COT and other C8H8 isomers can also be readily understood through the BBAH as a simple alternative model of structure and reactivity. ■ RESULTS AND DISCUSSION τ-Bond Electronic Delocalization in COT. COT exists in a tub shaped conformation and, based on its description using σ−π bond orbitals, cannot have proper conjugation.

THE REACTION OF a-DIKETONES WITH TRIALKYL PHOSPHITES .Reported by Earl G. Alley June 24, 1964 Introduction ,, --Interest in the reactions of esters of phosphorous acid with car- bonyl compounds has arisen mainly because the products undergo Arbuzov type rearrange- ments (l). In addition to the reactions of trialkyl phosphites with a-dicarbonyl compounds , which are the subject of this review, the reactions of trialkyl phosphites with alkyl halides, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and anhydrides have been studied (l). The reactions of trialkyl phosphites with p-quinones give products the structures of which are the subject of controversy (2,3,4) .
