Bromination of Cycloparaphenylenes: Strain‐Induced Site‐Selective Bis‐Addition and Its Application for Late‐Stage Functionalization

Abstract: Bromination of [n]cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) is herein reported. Small [n]CPPs (n<8) underwent a bis-bromine addition reaction with high site selectively to produce tetrabromo adducts in moderate to excellent yields. Theoretical calculations revealed that thermodynamic stability dictates both the reactivity and site selectivity of the reaction. The addition product was further converted into the octabromo product by a FeBr -catalyzed site-selective bromination reaction. The tetra- and octabromine adducts were … Show more

“…The synthesis of a [10]CPP derivative bearing a functional group that would allow mild and efficient cross‐coupling reactions marked the start of this study. To our disappointment, we were unable to transform [10]CPP directly into bromo‐ or iodo‐[10]CPP, which is in agreement with a recent study on the bromination of highly strained [ n ]CPPs ( n ≤8) . Hence, we decided to use a trimethylsilyl (TMS) group as a functional handle that would allow the late‐stage introduction of an iodo substituent.…”

[13] Hence,w ed ecided to use at rimethylsilyl (TMS) group as af unctional handle that would allow the late-stage introduction of an iodo substituent. As shown in Scheme 1( top), our successful synthesis of iodo- [10]CPP follows Jastisreported synthesis of [10]CPP, [14] with some crucial deviations,s uch as the use of am ethoxymethyl protecting group (MOM) in the sixth step of the sequence (2,S cheme 1).…”

“…[12] Theg ram-scale synthesis of CPPs also opens an ew possibility to study their reactivities and the synthesis of their derivatives by late-stage functionalization. [13] As apart of our ongoing studies to elucidate the reactivity of CPPs,w e became interested in the reaction of CPP with at ransitionmetal complex (Scheme 1). Of the possible reactions between CPP and metal complexes,t hat is, p-complexation, CÀH insertion, and C À Cinsertion, the C À Cinsertion is among the most interesting because it significantly alters the electronic structures of the CPP and can lead to the synthesis of new cyclic p-conjugated molecules.W hile two examples of reactions between CPPs and transition-metal complexes were reported by the groups of Itami [13a] and Yamago, [14] only p-complexes were observed.…”
