Bottom-Up Synthesis of Heteroatom-Doped Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons

Bottom-up synthesis of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) has significantly advanced during the past decade, providing various GNR structures with tunable properties. The synthesis of chiral GNRs, however, has been underexplored and only limited to (3,1)-GNRs. We report herein the surface-assisted synthesis of the first heteroatom-doped chiral (4,1)-GNRs from the rationally designed precursor 6,16-dibromo-9,10,19,20-tetraoxa-9a,19a-diboratetrabenzo[a,f,j,o]perylene. The structure of the chiral GNRs has been verified by scanning tunneling microscopy, noncontact atomic force microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy in combination with theoretical modeling. Due to the presence of oxygen-boron-oxygen (OBO) segments on the edges, lateral self-assembly of the GNRs has been observed, realizing well-aligned GNR arrays with different modes of homochiral and heterochiral inter-ribbon assemblies.

Bromine as the Ortho-Directing Group in the Aromatic Metalation/Silylation of Substituted Bromobenzenes

The one-pot metalation/disilylation of selected bromobenzenes bearing electron-withdrawing substituents p-, m-, o-XC6H4Br (X = F, Cl, I, CN, CF3) using 2 equiv of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and 2 equiv of chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl) was investigated. The best results of disilylation were obtained for para-substituted bromobenzenes, but the regioselectivity of the reaction is strongly influenced by the ortho-directing power of the substituent. On the contrary, the disilylation of metasubstituted bromobenzenes was not efficient or even failed in some cases and hence monosilylated derivatives were isolated as major or sole products. Diverse reactivity was observed for orthosubstituted bromobenzenes, e.g., 2-bromobenzonitrile and 2-bromochlorobenzene, were converted into corresponding disilylated derivatives in a high and moderate yield, respectively, whereas 1-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene underwent only monosilylation.
