由于独特的结构和广泛的应用,多取代环辛四烯及其苯并稠环衍生物的合成方法研究具有重要意义.本文报道了一种钯催化烯基溴化物与芳基溴化物的偶联反应.利用此钯催化的环化自偶联反应,以中等至较好的收率高选择性地从双溴代芳基或烯基化合物合成了多种二苯并[a,e]环辛四烯衍生物.
Cyclooctatetraenes, including dibenzocyclooctatetraenes, are structurally interesting compounds and are widely used in many areas. Therefore, the development of synthetic methods for such compounds has long been attractive. In this work, a Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction between alkenylbromides and arylbromides has been realized. Multi-substituted 1,4-dibromo-1,3- butadi-enes and o-bromo-2-(2-bromovinyl)benzenes underwent a Pd-catalyzed cyclodimerization reaction to afford the corresponding multi-substituted cyclooctatetraenes and dibenzo[a,e] cyclooctatetrae-nes, respectively, in high yields and with excellent regioselectivity.
