Construction of Phenanthrenes and Chrysenes from β-Bromovinylarenes via Aryne Diels-Alder Reaction/Aromatization

A highly efficient transition-metal-free general method for the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons like phenanthrenes and chrysenes (and tetraphene) from β-bromovinylarenes and arynes has been developed. The reactions proceed via an aryne Diels-Alder (ADA) reaction, followed by a facile aromatization. This is the first report on direct construction of chrysenes (and tetraphene) using the ADA approach. Unlike the literature method which is limited to only 9/10-substituted derivatives, this method gives access to a wide variety of functionalized phenanthrenes.

Facile Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Br?nsted Acid Catalyzed Dehydrative Cycloaromatization of Carbonyl Compounds in 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropan-2-ol

The cycloaromatization of aromatic aldehydes and ketones was readily achieved by using a Br?nsted acid catalyst in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (HFIP). In the presence of a catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, biaryl-2-ylacetaldehydes and 2-benzylbenzaldehydes underwent sequential intramolecular cationic cyclization and dehydration to afford phenacenes and acenes, respectively. Furthermore, biaryl-2-ylacetaldehydes bearing a cyclopentene moiety at the α-position underwent unprecedented cycloaromatization including ring expansion to afford triphenylenes. HFIP effectively promoted the cyclizations by suppressing side reactions presumably as a result of stabilization of the cationic intermediates.
