Diene syntheses with aromatic polycycles

Dihydro-1-vinylnaphthalene (67) as well as 3,4-dihydro-2-vinylnaphtha-lene (68) are more reactive than the corresponding aromatic dienes. Therefore they may also undergo cycloaddition reactions with low reactive dienophiles, thus showing a wider range of applications in organic synthesis. The cycloadditions of dienes 67 and 68 and of the 6-methoxy-2,4-dihydro-1-vinylnaphthalene 69 have been used extensively in the synthesis of steroids, heterocyclic compounds and polycyclic aromatic compounds. Some of the reactions of dienes 67-69 are summarized in Schemes 2.24, 2.25 and 2.26. In order to synthesize indeno[c]phenanthrenones, the cycloaddition of diene 67 with 3-bromoindan-l-one, which is a precursor of inden-l-one, was studied. Bromoindanone was prepared by treating commercially available indanone with NBS [64]. [Pg.53]

Bifunctional Initiation. The bifunctional initiators like alkali metal complexes of polycyclic aromatic compounds can be used to produce ABA triblock copolymers even when the A anion is not sufficiently basic to initiate polymerization of B monomers. In these cases polymerization would be started with monomer B to produce a polymeric dianion which could initiate polymerization of the A monomer which is added later. These initiators can be prepared only in aliphatic ethers, however. This precludes their use for the synthesis of useful styrene-diene ABA copolymers because polydienes made anionically in such solvents have low 1,4 contents and are not good rubbers. [Pg.316]

Lewis acid catalyzed versions of [4 4- 2] cycloadditions are restricted to functionalized dieno-philes. Nonfunetionalized alkenes and alkynes cannot be activated with Lewis acids and in thermal [4 + 2] cycloadditions these suhstrates usually show low reactivity. It has been reported that intcrmolecular cycloaddition of unactivated alkynes to dienes can be accelerated with low-va-lent titanium, iron or rhodium catalysts via metal-mediated - -complex formation and subsequent reductive elimination39 44. Usually, however, low product selectivities are observed due to side reactions, such as aromatization, isomerization or oligomerization. More effective are nickel-catalyzed intramolecular [4 4- 2]-dienyne cycloadditions which were developed for the synthesis of polycycles containing 1.4-cyclohexadienes45. Thus, treatment of dienyne 1, derived from sorbic acid, with 10mol% of Ni(cod)2 and 30 mol % of tris(o-biphenyl) phosphite in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature affords bicyclic 1,4-dienes 2, via intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition, with excellent yield and moderate to complete diastereocontrol by substituents attached to the substrate. The reaction is sensitive towards variation in the catalyst and the ligand. [Pg.470]
