  • Stabilization of Anti-Aromatic and Strained Five-Membered Rings with A
    ARTICLES PUBLISHED ONLINE: 23 JUNE 2013 | DOI: 10.1038/NCHEM.1690 Stabilization of anti-aromatic and strained five-membered rings with a transition metal Congqing Zhu1, Shunhua Li1,MingLuo1, Xiaoxi Zhou1, Yufen Niu1, Minglian Lin2, Jun Zhu1,2*, Zexing Cao1,2,XinLu1,2, Tingbin Wen1, Zhaoxiong Xie1,Paulv.R.Schleyer3 and Haiping Xia1* Anti-aromatic compounds, as well as small cyclic alkynes or carbynes, are particularly challenging synthetic goals. The combination of their destabilizing features hinders attempts to prepare molecules such as pentalyne, an 8p-electron anti- aromatic bicycle with extremely high ring strain. Here we describe the facile synthesis of osmapentalyne derivatives that are thermally viable, despite containing the smallest angles observed so far at a carbyne carbon. The compounds are characterized using X-ray crystallography, and their computed energies and magnetic properties reveal aromatic character. Hence, the incorporation of the osmium centre not only reduces the ring strain of the parent pentalyne, but also converts its Hu¨ckel anti-aromaticity into Craig-type Mo¨bius aromaticity in the metallapentalynes. The concept of aromaticity is thus extended to five-membered rings containing a metal–carbon triple bond. Moreover, these metal–aromatic compounds exhibit unusual optical effects such as near-infrared photoluminescence with particularly large Stokes shifts, long lifetimes and aggregation enhancement. romaticity is a fascinating topic that has long interested Results and discussion both experimentalists and theoreticians because of its ever- Synthesis, characterization and reactivity of osmapentalynes.

  • 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.

  • Fullerenes and Pahs: a Novel Model Explains Their Formation Via
    Fullerenes and PAHs: A Novel Model Explains their Formation via Sequential Cycloaddition Reactions Involving C2 Dimers Sylvain L. Smadja [email protected] 10364 Almayo Ave., Suite 304 Los Angeles, CA 90064 “Cove” region closure C20 bowl + 10C2 creates pentagonal ring C50 + 5C2 [2 + 2 + 2] [4 + 2] Cycloadditions Cycloadditions Cage 5C 5C 2 2 closure “Cove” region C40 C50 C60 Buckministerfullerene ABSTRACT: Based on a new understanding of the nature of the bonding in the C2 dimer, a novel bottom-up model is offered that can explain the growth processes of fullerenes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It is shown how growth sequences involving C2 dimers, that take place in carbon vapor, combustion systems, and the ISM, could give rise to a variety of bare carbon clusters. Among the bare carbon clusters thus formed, some could lead to fullerenes, while others, after hydrogenation, could lead to PAHs. We propose that the formation of hexagonal rings present in these bare carbon clusters are the result of [2+2+2] and [4+2] cycloaddition reactions that involve C2 dimers. In the C60 and C70 fullerenes, each of the twelve pentagons is surrounded by five hexagons and thereby “isolated” from each other. To explain why, we suggest that in bowl-shaped clusters the pentagons can form as the consequence of closures of “cove regions” that exist between hexagonal rings, and that they can also form during cage-closure, which results in the creation of six “isolated” pentagonal rings, and five hexagonal rings. The proposed growth mechanisms can account for the formation of fullerene isomers without the need to invoke the widely used Stone-Wales rearrangement.

Upon thermal or Lewis acid mediated retro hetero Diels-Alder reactions of these substrates, an appropriately substituted acrolein derivative is generated (stereoselectively in most cases) which can be utilized as a substrate for a variety of cycloaddition reactions. These cycloadditions, including Diels-Alder, hetero Diels-Alder, and [4 + 3], have provided access to several ring systems with excellent control over regio- and stereoselectivity. A strategy for the stereocontrolled synthesis of (Z)-2-acylenals has been developed through utilization of a retrocycloaddition reaction of 5-acyl-4-alkyl-4H- 1,3-dioxins. This approach has provided concise synthetic routes to several natural products containing the 5-acyl-2H-3,4-dihydropyran substructure.
