Background: A one-pot coupling reaction of aldehyde bisulfite adducts was developed for McMurry reaction using Zn-TiCl4 in 1,4-dioxane solvent medium. The treatment of sodium hydroxy(phenyl)methane sulfonate (2a) with TiCl4 in 1,4-dioxane favoured the deprotection of the bisulfite adduct 2a, and the in situ regeneration of benzaldehyde (1a) underwent reductive coupling to afford stilbene 3a in a relatively good yield, thus leading to an improved synthesis of a series of (E)-1,2- diphenylethenes 3. The present approach provides a new solution to the inherent instability of aldehydes and also provides a direct access to C'C bond formation for the synthesis of 1,2-diphenylethenes from aryl aldehyde bisulfite adducts. Methods: All reactions were performed at 70-80o and the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometric techniques. Results: The present approach provides a new solution to the instability of aldehydes and also provides a direct access to C'C bond formation for the synthesis of 1,2-diphenylethenes from aryl aldehyde bisulfite adducts. Conclusion: In the present work, we have reported an efficient method for the synthesis of 1,2- diphenylethene derivatives. Aldehydes are commonly used as the starting materials in the McMurry reaction, which affords the stilbene derivatives, the core skeleton of various valuable compounds. To increase the stability of the aldehydes, bisulfite adducts are usually employed, but the deprotection process causes loss of process efficiency. To address this issue, we developed a method based on the single-pot reaction of aromatic bisulfite adduct using TiCl4/Zn in 1,4-dioxane.
Synthesis of 2-bromo-1-aryl-1H-indenes via a Ag(I) promoted domino 2π-electrocyclic ring-opening/4π-electrocyclization reaction of 1,2-diaryl substituted gem-dibromocyclopropanes

2-Bromo-1-aryl substituted indenes can be synthesized from 1,2-diaryl substituted gem-dibromocyclopropanes via a domino reaction sequence. The cascade reaction involves silver(I) promoted ionization and 2π-disrotatory electrocyclic ring-opening, followed by a 4π-conrotatory electrocyclic ring closing reaction of the allylic carbocation intermediate. Reaction conditions utilize silver tetrafluoroborate (AgBF4) in dichloroethane at 65 C. Selectivity effects for the electrocyclization were also studied. The 2-bromoindenes can be further functionalized using cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura protocol. The alkene π-bond of the indenes can also be isomerized to give the thermodynamically more stable 2-bromo-3-aryl-1H-indene isomers using triethylamine in dichloromethane at room temperature.
