Learning Outcomes After studying this module, you shall be able to understand: What are annulenes? How can you synthesize annulenes? What are the reactions possible of annulenes? 2. Introduction Annulenes are completely conjugated monocyclic hydrocarbons. They have a general formula CnHn. According to the IUPAC naming conventions, annulenes are named as [n]-annulene, where n is the number in the bracket indicates the ring size or the number of carbon atoms in their ring. For example, Cyclobutadiene is named as [4]-annulene, Benzene is named as [6]-annulene, Cyclooctatetraene is named as [8]-annulene, Cyclodecapentaene is named as [10]-annulene, Cyclododecahexaene is named as [12]-annulene, Cyclotetradecaheptaene named as [14]-annulene, Cyclohexadecaheptaene named as [16]-annulene, Cyclooctadecanonaene named as [18]-annulene and so on. The structures are given below: CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES Annulenes were first prepared by Sondheimer et al in 1962 to test the Huckel’s rule of aromaticity. According to Huckel’s rule of aromaticity ‘if the number of - electrons is equal to 4n+2 where n is equal to zero or a whole number, the system is aromatic’. The number of -electrons for Hückel's rule are 2 (n = 0), 6 (n = 1), 10 (n = 2), 14 (n = 3), 18 (n = 4) etc. Various annulenes prepared were have n= 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30. Out of these only [14], [18], [30] annulenes have (4n + 2) -electrons and are aromatic in nature. The [4]-annulene is cyclobutadiene having 4-electrons and is anti-aromatic in nature. It is highly unstable due to the ring strain. It can be isolated only under controlled conditions like in Argon matrix or using trapping agents like dienes. Studies show that it has a rectangular structure rather than a square, with C-C bond length of 1.567 Å and C=C bond length of 1.346 Å. The [8]-annulene is also known as cyclooctatetraene. It is a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon, which is a colorless to light yellow flammable liquid at room temperature. It is non-planar and adopts a tub-conformation as shown below: The [10]- and [14]-annulene are not particularly stable due to geometric factors. [10] Annulene is also known as cyclodecapentaene. Since it has conjugated 10- electrons but still it is not aromatic due to the combination of steric strain and angular strain. Many conformations are possible for [10] annulene: (1) Planar all-cis isomer: in this conformation all the bond angles are of 144° which creates large amounts of bond strain relative to the ideal 120° for sp2 hybridization, (2) Boat-like all-cis conformation: In this conformation angular strain is less in comparison to (1) but is still unstable, CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES (3) Planar trans, cis, trans, cis, cis isomer: This conformation suffers from steric repulsion between the two internal hydrogen atoms, (4) Non-planar trans, cis, cis, cis, cis isomer: This is the most stable of all the possible isomers. The [14] annulene has 14 electrons in its conjugated pi system and hence it possess some aromatic character. The [16]-annulene is non-planar, with alternating C=C and C-C like a non-aromatic polyene. The [18]-annulene is almost planar, with some aromatic stability. However, it reacts more like a polyene than benzene. It undergoes addition reaction with H2 and Br2, and a Diels-Alder with maleic anhydride. The higher annulenes (n > 18) are of less synthetic interest. This is mostly due to their significant bond alternation asymmetry, and conformational flexibility. All the higher annulenes up to n = 30 have been synthesized except n = 26 and 28. 3. Synthesis of annulenes 3.1 Synthesis of [4]-annulene Cyclobutadiene was first synthesized in 1965 by Rowland Pettit et al although they could not isolate it. In 1965, the first stable pale yellow crystalline solid cyclobutadieneiron tricarbonyl was prepared from Fe2(CO)9 and cis-dichlorocyclobutene via double dehydrohalogenation reaction. CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES Cyclobutadiene-iron tricarbonyl complex is known to decompose oxidatively as shown below: Liberated cyclobutadiene can be trapped with several unsaturated compounds as shown below: CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES If no trapping agent is used cyclobutadiene dimerizes at 35 K as shown below: 3.2 Synthesis of [8]-annulene (i) Richard Willstatter synthesis of [8]-annulene: [8]-Annulene or 1,3,5,7-Cyclooctatetraene was first synthesized by Richard Willstatter at Munich in 1905 by the following route: CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES (ii) Reppe's synthesis of [8]-Annulene: Acetylene or ethylene on reaction with a warm mixture of nickel cyanide (NiCN) and calcium carbide (CaC) under high pressure results in the formation of [8] annulene or cyclooctatetraene in ~ 90% yield. 3.3 Synthesis of [10]-annulenes Naphthalene on Birch reduction form tetrahydronaphthalene (or isotetralin). Tetrahydronaphthalene when treated with chloroform, potassium salt of tert-butanol using ether and ethanol as solvent at -30oC undergoes dichlorocarbene addition and form 11,11- dichlorotricyclo[4.4.1.0]undeca-3,8-diene. This on further Birch reduction form tricyclo[4.4.1.0]undeca-3,8-diene by the removal of the two chloride substituents. This on further oxidation with DDQ (2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone) form 1,6- methano[10]annulene. 3.4 Synthesis of [18]-Annulene The synthesis of [18]-annulenes is achieved by following the given reaction sequence. CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES 4. Reaction of annulenes 4.1 Reactions of [4]-annulenes The cyclobutadiene reacts with ‘ene’ to give Diels-Alder products. The reaction of ethylene and cyclobutadiene form bicycle[2.2.0]hex-2-ene. CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES The reaction of cyclobutadiene and cyclopenta-1,3-diene another Diels-Alder product as shown below: In another reaction, cyclobutadiene reacts with allene to form 5- methylenebicyclo[2.2.0]hex-2-ene. The cyclobutadieneiron tricarbonyl undergo a number of different electrophilic substitution reactions, similar to ferrocene or benzene as shown by Petitt and co-workers. Although these reactions are not particularly interesting in terms of mechanism or theory, they do highlight the aromatic character of the cyclobutadieneiron tricarbonyl and serve as useful methods for derivatizing the parent structure. CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES 4.2 Reactions of [6]-annulenes Benzene is [6]-annulenes. This is a well-known aromatic compound. This is highly unsaturated but it does not undergo any of the regular reactions of alkenes such as addition or oxidation as given below: CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES Benzene undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction, a typical properties of aromatic compounds. It reacts with bromine if a Lewis acid catalyst is present however the reaction is a substitution and not an addition like alkene. Some of the important reactions of benzene are given below. CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES 4.3 Reactions of [10]-annulenes The [10]-annulene existed in two distinct but rapidly inter-converting forms I and II to which they assigned an all-cis ‘boatlike’ conformation and a mono-trans ‘twist’ conformation. Both the isomers react thermally and give dihydronaphthalenes III and IV after the cyclization respectively. They also retain their respective cis or trans character. The lack of planarity and hence aromatic stability in both the conformations are responsible for the relatively high reactivity of [10]annulene. CHEMISTRY Paper 14: Organic Chemistry –IV (Advance Organic Synthesis and Supramolecular Chemistry and carbocyclic rings) Module 32: ANNULENES The [10]-annulene on hydrogenation gives cyclodecane. 4.4 Reactions of [18]-annulenes The [18]-annulenes are another important higher annulenes. The low-temperature NMR studies have suggested the three conformations of nearly equal energy for this molecule with three internal protons above the plane and three below

    Text Related to Segment 5.02 ©2002 Claude E. Wintner From the previous segment we have the value of the heat of combustion of an "unstrained" methylene unit as -157.4 kcal/mole. On this basis one would predict that combustion of "unstrained" cyclopropane should liberate 3 X 157.4 = 472.2 kcal/mole; however, when cyclopropane is burned, a value of 499.8 kcal/mole is measured for the actual heat of combustion. The difference of 27.6 kcal/mole is interpreted as representing the higher internal energy ("strain energy") of real cyclopropane as compared to a postulated strain-free "model." ("Model" in this usage speaks of a proposal, or postulate.) These facts are graphed conveniently on an energy diagram as follows: "Strain Energy" represents the error units: kcal/mole not to scale in the "strain-free model" real cyclopropane + 4.5 O2 27.6 "strain-free model" of cyclopropane 499.8 observed heat of combustion + 4.5 O2 472.2 3CO2 + 3H2O heat of combustion predicted for "strain-free model" Note that this estimate of the strain energy in cyclopropane amounts to 9.2 kcal/mole of strain per methylene group (dividing 27.6 by 3, because of the three carbon atoms). Comparable values in kcal/mole for other small and medium rings are given in the following table. As one might expect, in general the strain decreases as the ring is enlarged. units: kcal/mole n Total Strain Strain per CH2 3 27.6 9.2 (CH2)n 4 26.3 6.6 5 6.2 1.2 6 0.1 0.0 ! 7 6.2 0.9 8 9.7 1.2 9 12.6 1.4 10 12.4 1.2 12 4.1 0.3 15 1.9 0.1 Without entering into a discussion of the relevant bonding concepts here, and instead relying on geometry alone, interpretation of the source of the strain energy in cyclopropane and cyclobutane is to some extent self-evident.

Mitchell ABSTRACT The successful synthesis of the first bri~ged thia[13]annulene, trans-9b,9c­ dimethyl-9b,9c-dihydrophenyleno[l,9-bc)thiophene, 120, was achieved in 11 steps, starting from 3-methylthiophene, 111. Using the external and internal proton chemical shifts of 120, it was shown unambiguously to be the first diatropic bridged thia annulene. From the proton chemical shifts of 120, its diatropicity was estimated to be about 35-40% that of dimethyldihydropyrene 12. Synthesis of the potential intermediate 2,4-bis(bromomethyl)-3-methylthiophene, 110, is expected to lead to synthese;, of a variety of new bridged annulenes. Synthesis of the quasi-biphenyiene, 155, was attempted. The precursor to 155, 1,3-bis(methoxymethyl}-2-methylbiphenylene, 170, was synthesised from 1,2- dibromobenzene, 82, in 4 steps.

  • Cycloalkanes, Cycloalkenes, and Cycloalkynes
    CYCLOALKANES, CYCLOALKENES, AND CYCLOALKYNES any important hydrocarbons, known as cycloalkanes, contain rings of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds. The simple cycloalkanes of formula (CH,), make up a particularly important homologous series in which the chemical properties change in a much more dramatic way with increasing n than do those of the acyclic hydrocarbons CH,(CH,),,-,H. The cyclo- alkanes with small rings (n = 3-6) are of special interest in exhibiting chemical properties intermediate between those of alkanes and alkenes. In this chapter we will show how this behavior can be explained in terms of angle strain and steric hindrance, concepts that have been introduced previously and will be used with increasing frequency as we proceed further. We also discuss the conformations of cycloalkanes, especially cyclo- hexane, in detail because of their importance to the chemistry of many kinds of naturally occurring organic compounds. Some attention also will be paid to polycyclic compounds, substances with more than one ring, and to cyclo- alkenes and cycloalkynes. 12-1 NOMENCLATURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CYCLOALKANES The IUPAC system for naming cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes was presented in some detail in Sections 3-2 and 3-3, and you may wish to review that ma- terial before proceeding further.

  • 7 Benzene and Aromatics
    Benzene and Aromatic Compounds Chapter 15 Organic Chemistry, 8th Edition John McMurry 1 Background • Benzene (C6H6) is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon (or arene). • Four degrees of unsaturation. • It is planar. • All C—C bond lengths are equal. • Whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes, alkynes and dienes readily undergo addition reactions, benzene does not. • Benzene reacts with bromine only in the presence of FeBr3 (a Lewis acid), and the reaction is a substitution, not an addition. 2 The Structure of Benzene: MO 3 The Structure of Benzene: Resonance The true structure of benzene is a resonance hybrid of the two Lewis structures. 4 Aromaticity – Resonance Energy 5 Stability of Benzene - Aromaticity Benzene does not undergo addition reactions typical of other highly unsaturated compounds, including conjugated dienes. 6 The Criteria for Aromaticity Four structural criteria must be satisfied for a compound to be aromatic. [1] A molecule must be cyclic. 7 The Criteria for Aromaticity [2] A molecule must be completely conjugated (all atoms sp2). 8 The Criteria for Aromaticity [3] A molecule must be planar. 9 The Criteria for Aromaticity—Hückel’s Rule [4] A molecule must satisfy Hückel’s rule. 10 The Criteria for Aromaticity—Hückel’s Rule 1. Aromatic—A cyclic, planar, completely conjugated compound with 4n + 2 π electrons. 3. Antiaromatic—A cyclic, planar, completely conjugated compound with 4n π electrons. 5.

  • 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.
