- Rapid and Simple Access to α-(Hetero)arylacetonitriles from Gem-Difluoroalkenes
-
A scalable cyanation of gem-difluoroalkenes to (hetero)arylacetonitrile derivatives was developed. This strategy features mild reaction conditions, excellent yields, wide substrate scope, and broad functional group tolerance. Significantly, in this reacti

- Investigation of the reaction of 2-bromo-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene and 9-bromophenanthrene with nitriles under aryne-forming conditions
-
The reaction of 2-bromo-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene (1) and 9-bromophenanthrene (3) with nitriles 2 under base-mediated, aryne-forming conditions gives product distributions which depend upon the nature of the bromoarene, nitrile, base, and the reaction medium. Thus, treatment of 1 with arylacetonitriles 2a-d in the presence of LDA in THF or sodium amide in liquid ammonia supplies α-aryl-1,4-dimethoxy-2-naphthylacetonitriles 4a-d, presumably by the aryne arylation mechanism. In contrast, the reaction of 9-bromophenanthrene (3) and arylacetonitriles 2b-e with LDA in THF yields 10-arylmethyl-9-phenanthrenecarbonitriles 6b-e, most likely by the tandem addition-rearrangement pathway. When 3 reacts with 2a-c in the presence of sodium amide and liquid ammonia, α-aryl-9-phenanthrylacetonitriles 5a-c, rather than the rearranged nitriles 6a-c, are obtained. Both 1 and 3 react with alkylnitriles 2f-i and LDA-THF, sodium amide-liquid ammonia, or Caubere's sodamide base to afford aryne arylated nitriles (4f-i and 5f-i, respectively). An explanation in terms of the influence of reactants and solvent on the competition between the aryne arylation and tandem addition-rearrangement pathways is presented.

- Synthesis and spectroscopy of nine isomeric methylacephenanthrylenes
-
The synthesis of nine isomeric methyl-substituted acephenanthrylenes is described.Three different approaches were used. 1-, 2-, And 6-methylacephenanthrylene (1a, 1c and 1f) were prepared by formylation of acephenanthrene (2) and 4,5,7,8,9,10-hexahydroacephenanthrylene (17), followed by Wolff-Kishner reduction and dehydrogenation. 4-, 5-, 7- And 10-methylacephenanthrylene (1d, 1e, 1g and 1j) were synthesized by treating the corresponding acephenanthrenones with methyllithium, followed by dehydration and, in the case of 1g and 1j, dehydrogenation. 8- And 9-methylacephenanthrylene (1h and 1i) were prepared by a Haworth synthesis starting with the reaction of methylsuccinic anhydride with acenaphthene. the spectroscopic properties of acephenanthrylene and its methyl derivatives were investigated with mass spectrometry, (1)H NMR and UV-VIS spectroscopy.According to the (1)H NMR spectra, steric hindrance between the methyl group and nearby protons decreases in the following order: 1, 10 > 6 > 7 > 3 > 4, 5, 8, 9.
