“…A solution of 1,8‐bis(methylamino)naphthalene ( 15 ) [30] (50 mg, 0.27 mmol), p ‐xylylene dibromide (79 mg, 0.30 mmol) and Et 3 N (0.08 mL, 0.58 mmol) in a mixture of acetonitrile (7 mL) and toluene (1 mL) was stirred at room temperature. After 43 h, the reaction mixture was treated with water (5 mL), 20 % aq KOH (1 mL) and evaporated to dryness.…”
The interaction of 1,8‐diaminonaphthalene with o‐xylylene dibromide leads to two topologically relevant isomeric products, 1,8‐di(isoindolin‐2‐yl)naphthalene (reported previously), and its structural isomer with the bridgehead nitrogens in a bicyclic system (reported for the first time). This is the first case of isolating two heterocyclic analogs of 1,8‐bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (proton sponge or DMAN) in one reaction. Both isomers are formed in parallel reactions and are not interconverted upon acid treatment. The first representative of heterocyclic “amide proton sponges”, which is still able to participate in intramolecular protonation due to the amide nitrogen atom, was synthesized by direct oxidation of the corresponding isoindoline derivative. Using p‐xylylene dibromide as a bridging bielectrophile, a macroheterocyclization was effectively realized to construct the first paracyclophane extended by two DMAN subunits. Mostly driven by the proximity effect, the molecular structure, unusual protonation trends and reactivity of peri‐diaminonaphthalenes N‐linked with o‐ and p‐xylylene fragments are also discussed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
