Palladium-catalyzed expedient Heck annulations in 1-bromo-1,5-dien-3-ols: Exceptional formation of fused bicycles

An unprecedented Pd-catalyzed intramolecular Heck cyclization has been investigated on halogenated diene scaffolds undergoing various mode of cyclization and termination leading to the formation of structurally differing fused cyclopenta(e)none and aromatic analogue. The discrimination in the fate of palladium intermediates formed in situ undergoing Heck cyclization preferentially arises out of the difference in reaction temperature as well as substrate architecture. Sequential Heck reaction of 1-Bromo-5-methyl-1-aryl-hexa-1,5-dien-3-ol derivatives followed by oxidation or termination via sp2 C–]H activation in aromatic ring led to the formation of fused cyclopentanes. However, the similar reaction at elevated temperature showed predominance towards the formation of aromatic analogues via one pot cyclization and dehydroxylation. The mechanism for the formation of cyclopentanone fused with cyclopropane ring system is supported by density functional theory based calculations.

Three-Step Synthesis of Fluoranthenes through Pd-Catalyzed Inter- and Intramolecular C-H Arylation

A three-step synthetic method for the preparation of fluoranthenes, involving Miura's intermolecular C-H arylation, nonaflation, and intramolecular C-H arylation, has been developed. Various 1-naphthols and haloarenes were successfully used as substrates. Reaction conditions that afford high site selectivity have been developed for the intramolecular C-H arylation step.

Benzannulation via ruthenium-catalyzed diol-diene [4+2] cycloaddition: One- and two-directional syntheses of fluoranthenes and acenes

A new benzannulation protocol is described and applied to the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Ruthenium(0)-catalyzed diol-diene [4+2] cycloaddition delivers cyclohex-1-ene-4,5-diols, which are subject to aromatization upon dehydration or Nicholas diol deoxydehydration. Employing diol and tetraol reactants, benzannulation can be conducted efficiently in one- and two-directional modes, respectively, as illustrated in the construction of substituted fluoranthenes and acenes.

Rapid acquisition of a sixty-carbon fullerene precursor. A new synthetic approach to C60

In a new approach towards C60, two C3-symmetric precursors having all the carbon content and thirteen rings have been assembled in just one step from readily crafted building-blocks through threefold Wittig-Horner coupling.
