Preparation of Large Perphenylbiaryls: Can Intermolecular Coupling Compete with Intramolecular Cyclization of Precursors?
Abstract: The highly substituted naphthalenes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7‐heptaphenylnaphthalene (13), 2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐heptaphenyl‐1‐naphthol (12), 1‐bromo‐2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐heptaphenylnaphthalene (4), and 1‐(phenylethynyl)‐2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐heptaphenylnaphthalene (5) were prepared by a variety of methods, and all but 5 were crystallographically characterized. The attempted Ullmann coupling of 4 to give tetradecaphenyl‐1,1′‐binaphthyl (3), at both 270 °C and 350 °C, yielded instead 1,2,3,4,5,6‐hexaphenylfluoranthene (17) via an intramolecular cyclization reaction. When the alkyne 5 was heated with tetracyclone (6) at 350 °C, 1‐(pentaphenylphenyl)‐2,3,4,5,6,7,8‐heptaphenylnaphthalene (7) was formed in 3 % yield. However, greater amounts of 5,6,7,8,9,14‐hexaphenyldibenzo[a,e]pyrene (20, 11 %) and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7‐heptaphenylfluoranthene (21, 11 %) were produced, the former by intramolecular cyclization and dehydrogenation of 5 and the latter by an intramolecular Diels‐Alder reaction of 5 followed by extrusion of acetylene. The X‐ray structure of 7 shows it to be an exceptionally crowded biaryl, and the X‐ray structure of 20 shows it to be a saddle shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.
