- Oxidative, Iodoarene-Catalyzed Intramolecular Alkene Arylation for the Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
-
A catalytic, metal-free and chemoselective oxidative intramolecular coupling of arene and alkene C?H bonds is reported. The active hypervalent iodine (HVI) reagent, generated catalytically in situ from iodotoluene and meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA), reacts with o-vinylbiphenyls to generate polyaromatic hydrocarbons in up to 95 % yield. Experimental evidence suggests the reactions proceed though vinyliodonium and, possibly, vinylenephenonium intermediates.

- Synthesis of substituted chrysenes and phenanthrenes
-
3-Methylchrysene (9a), 2, 3, 9-trimethylchrysene (9b), 2, 6-dimethylphenanthrene (16a) and 1-isopropyl-4,6-dimethylphenanthrene (16b) have been synthesised in the following steps. β-(1-Naphthyl)ethyl bromide (6a), β-(6,7-dimethyl-1-naphthyl)ethyl bromide (6b), β-(3-methylphenyl)ethyl bromide (13a) and β-(2-isopropyl-5-methylphenyl)ethyl bromide (13b) are separately condensed with potassium salt of 1-carbethoxy-4-methylcyclohexane-2-one (1) to give respectively 7a, 7b, 14a and 14b. PPA cyclisation of 7a and 7b affords 8a and 8b while 14a affords 15a and 14b gives a mixture of 15b and 15c. Aromatisation of 8a and 8b leads to 9a and 9b and that of 15a gives 16a while 15b and 15c both produce 16b. The structures assigned are consistent with their spectral data.
