A novel, non-high-dilution method for preparation of 1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane

(Formula presented) A novel synthesis of octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane (AF4), one that remarkably does not require the use of high dilution methodology, is presented. Using this unprecedented methodology, AF4 is produced in 60% yield in a reaction of Zn with 0.35 M p-bis(chlorodifluoromethyl)-benzene in DMA at 100°C. The process comprises a convenient, inexpensive, and highly scaleable preparation of AF4 for both research and commercial purposes.

Palladium catalyzed cross- and homo-coupling reactions of 4-Halo-1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophanes with various organometallic reagents

An investigation of palladium catalyzed Kumada type reactions between various Grignard reagents and mono-substituted octafluoroparacyclophane derivatives revealed that by varying the reaction temperature, and mode of addition of the Grignard reagent, it w

The first synthesis and characterization of both diastereomers of a di[2.2]paracyclophane: 4,4′-Bis(1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane)

The synthesis and characterization of both diastereomers of a system comprised of two [2.2]-paracyclophane units linked through a single 4,4′ bond are described. Both the meso and d,l diastereomers of 4,4′-bis(octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane) have been prepared via a palladium-catalyzed reductive homocoupling reaction by copper, producing a 3:2 ratio of meso and d,l diastereomers. A similar reductive homocoupling of pseudo-o-iodotrifluoromethyloctafluoro[2.21-paracyclophane gave only the analogous meso diastereomer. Single-crystal X-ray structures were obtained for all of the diparacyclophane products.

A convenient preparation of octafluoro[2,2]paracyclophane and dodecafluoro[2,2]paracyclophane

A new and convenient synthesis of octafluoro[2,2]paracyclophane and dodeca-fluoro[2,2]paracyclophane is reported. It is accomplished by treatment of 1,4-bis(halodifluoromethyl)benzene with PbBr2/Al in DMF at room temperature via the cyclocoupling of the reactive intermediate α,α,α′α′-tetrafluoro-p-xylylene.

Remarkable efficiency of the aryne chemistry of (dehydro)octafluoro[2.2] paracyclophane when using the cadogan method

Generation of the aryne, (dehydro)octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane, from its acetamide derivative utilizing the Cadogan method led to remarkable results with respect to Diels-Alder and ene reactivity. A comparison was made between this new and virtually unused method and our earlier reported results using Cram methodology (reaction of aryl iodide with potassium tert-butoxide). Surprisingly, no ene reactivity was observed with the Cram methodology. This mechanistic conundrum was examined extensively with no unambiguous explanation for the difference in reactivity being found.

Electrophilic Substitution of 1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-Octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane

Nitration of octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane (OFP) provides an entry into the synthesis of a series of 11 monosubstituted OFPs, including the nitro, amino, chloro, bromo, iodo, hydroxy, and trifluoromethyl compounds. The NMR, mass spectrometric, and UV spectral properties of all of these derivatives are presented and discussed, and they are compared with those of its hydrocarbon analogue, [2.2]paracyclophane.
