Au-Cavitands: Size governed arene-alkyne cycloisomerization

With an inwardly directed reactive center and a well-defined binding pocket, Au(I) functionalized resorcin[4]arene cavitands have been shown to catalyze molecular transformations. The reactivity profiles that emerge differ from other Au(I) catalysts. The added constraint of a binding pocket gives rise to the possibility that the substrates might have to fit into the resorcinarene pocket; our hypothesis is that substrates that match the available space have different reaction outcomes than those that do not. Herein we report on the intramolecular cyclization of alkyne-aromatic substrates with variable alkynes and aromatic composition. We see that scaffold size most drastically dictates reactivity, especially when the substrate's features are particularly designed. The results of these experiments add to the veritable goldmine of information about the selectivity in catalysis that cavitands offer.
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.
Cycloaromatization of α-oxoketene dithioacetals and β-oxodithioacetals with benzyl-,1-(naphthylmethyl) and 2-(naphthylmethyl)magnesium halides: Synthesis of condensed polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons

An efficient route for the synthesis of substituted naphthalenes, phenanthrenes and other polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons has been developed. The methodology involves 1,2- (or sequential 1,4- and 1,2-) addition of either benzyl, 1-(naphthylmethyl) or 2-(naphthylmethyl) magnesium halides to α-oxoketene dithioacetals or β-oxodithioacetals followed by borontrifluoride etherate catalyzed cycloaromatization of the resulting carbinols.
