Anion radical coupling Anita Kożuch 19 IV 2011
Plan • methods for the formation of aryl-aryl bonds • anionic cyclohydrogenation • history • mechanism • applications
Selective formation of aryl-aryl bonds between reaction partners (no functionality other than C-H bonds at the carbon atom): • transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions • oxidative dimerization of electron-rich arenes (Scholl, Kovacic and others) • intramolecular oxidative dimerization (Müllen) • oxidative photocyclization of stilbenes to phenanthrenes (Mallory reaction) • thermal cyclodehydrogenations by flash vacuum pyrolysis • anionic cyclodehydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons
Classic example of anionic cyclodehydrogenation: Oxidative cyclization of 1,10-binaphthyl (1) to perylene (2) M. Rickhaus, A.P. Belanger, H. A. Wegner, L.T. Scott,J.Org.Chem. 2010,75, 7358
Anion radical coupling as an unique method • the highest efficiency in conversion 1,1’-binaphthyl to perylene • alkali metals are used to induce oxidation
