On September 30, 2022, Takao, Go; Hakozaki, Tomohiro; Miura, Keisuke; Urushibara, Yusuke; Fuchibe, Kohei; Ichikawa, Junji published an article.Electric Literature of 2567-29-5 The title of the article was Construction of Substituted [4]Acene Frameworks Based on Double Cationic Cyclizations of Fluoroalkenes. And the article contained the following:
5-Substituted and 5,6-disubstituted [4]acenes were synthesized by the double cationic cyclization of fluoroalkenes. (a) After being treated with Me2AlCl (1.2 equiv), 2-trifluoromethyl-1-alkenes bearing two aryl groups underwent domino Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization (two-ring construction) followed by dehydrogenation to generate 5-fluorinated [4]acenes. The same (trifluoromethyl)alkenes were treated with both Me2AlCl (1.2 equiv) and Me3Al (1.0 equiv), resulting in selective one-ring construction and the creation of bicyclic 1,1-difluoro-1-alkenes. (b) When treated with triflic acid, the bicyclic difluoroalkenes underwent regioselective protonation to generate CF2 cations; Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization of these cations provided tetracyclic ketones. The obtained ketones act as an appropriate platform for the introduction of substituents at the 5-position of [4]acenes. (c) When treated with DDQ/H+, the bicyclic difluoroalkenes underwent oxidative generation of allylic CF2 cations; Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization of these cations produced tetracyclic enones. The enones were subjected to double addition of carbanions to facilitate the introduction of two substituents at the 5- and 6-positions of dihydro[4]acenes. The experimental process involved the reaction of 4-(Bromomethyl)-1,1′-biphenyl(cas: 2567-29-5).Electric Literature of 2567-29-5
