在这里,我们提出了一个协议,以合成由三个非平面多环芳烃单位复杂的有机化合物,具有合理的收益率容易组装。
The main purpose of this video is to show 6 reaction steps of a convergent synthesis and prepare a complex molecule containing up to three nonplanar polyaromatic units, which are two corannulene moieties and a racemic hexahelicene linking them. The compound described in this work is a good host for fullerenes. Several common organic reactions, such as free-radical reactions, C-C coupling or click chemistry, are employed demonstrating the versatility of functionalization that this compound can accept. All of these reactions work for planar aromatic molecules. With subtle modifications, it is possible to achieve similar results for nonplanar polyaromatic compounds.
由于其特殊的几何形状,碗烯和helicenes是可以采用远平面的结构并以有趣的性质产生1-15在过去的几年中的分子,搜索分子受体碳纳米管和富勒烯的是一个非常活跃的领域16-19因,主要是,以20-28其潜在的应用作为用于有机太阳能电池,晶体管,传感器和其他装置的材料。在碗烯和富勒烯之间的形状的优良的互补吸引若干研究人员的注意与设计的目标能够通过分散的力量建立的超分子协会的分子受体。29-39
上述非平面多芳化合物的化学是类似于对完全平面分子描述的,但它是有时很难找到合适的条件,以实现期望的选择性和产率。40 </sup>在这项工作中,我们提出通过应用在每一个研究实验室发现很容易和典型的技术具有与良好收益几步3多环芳烃单元的分子(7)的合成。该分子是非常重要的,因为它可以采用一个钳状构象建立与在溶液C 60 37良好的相互作用;并且它可以打开一个研究线作为手性得益于螺烯接头,这是一种手性分子更高的富勒烯的电位受体由于立体异构轴的存在。41-45然而,只有外消旋螺烯将在这项工作中使用。
在这一点上,合成这些受体的唯一限制是helicenes和corannulenes的制备中,因为它们不是可商购的。但是,按照新的方法发表在别处46-48它们可以以合适的量在一段合理的短周期来获得。
最终化合物7已经经过从非平面多芳前体6的步骤3和3 b相在每个反应中度到非常良好的产率被制备。在这条线路中观察到的主要限制是两个非平面多芳化合物的溴化。然而,在化合物4 中的情况下,自由碗烯的重要量可以回收用于进一步的用途。 4 b的合成是因为我们发现polybromination如?…
