Coupling ortho

Stilben-4-yl)naphthotriazoles (2) are prepared by diazotization of 4-amino-stilbene-2-sulfonic acid or 4-amino-2-cyano-4 -chlorostilbene, coupling with an ortho-coupling naphthylamine derivative, and finally, oxidation to the triazole. 

Nitro-l-diazo-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid prefers the 2-position in spite of the nitro group, and increasing alkalinity favors ortho coupling with diazophenols. 1-Naphthalenesulfamic acid [24344-19-2] (ArNHSO H) and N-nitro-1-naphthylamine [4323-69-7] (ArNHNO ) couple exclusively in the para position. The substitution of resorcinol [108-46-3] and y -phenylenediamine [108-45-2] is compHcated and has been discussed (29,30). The first azo dyes from aniline, eg. Aniline Yellow [60-09-3] (19) (Cl Solvent Yellow 1 Cl 11000) were manufactured in 1861 and Bismark Brown [10114-58-6] (20) (Cl Basic Brown 1 Cl 21000) appeared in 1863. The reaction is as follows ... 

The normal pattern of coupling constants for aromatic six-membered rings is found in the heterocyclic aza systems, except that the ortho coupling to a proton a to a heterocyclic nitrogen is reduced from 7-8 Hz to 4.5-6 Hz. The J2.3 of pyrylium salts is still lower...

This time, we observe a pronounced downheld shift of the protons ortho- to the deshielding substituent and note that the signal is dominated by the large ortho-coupling and that it also bears a smaller meta-one. The signal is however both roofed and is composed of more lines than you might naively expect. 

The anodic coupling of aryl ethers is reviewed in Ref. [180]. Aryl ethers are more selectively coupled than phenols for the following reasons The carbon-oxygen coupling is made impossible and the ortho-coupling and the oxidation to quinones become more difficult. A mixture of triflu-oroacetic acid (TFA) and dichloromethane proved to be the most suitable electrolyte [181]. TFA enhances the radical cation stability and suppresses the nucle-ophilicity of water. Of further advantage is the addition of alumina or trifluo-roacetic anhydride [182]. Table 12 compiles representative examples of the aryl ether coupling. 

The spin-spin coupling constants for the spectrum of dibenzothiophene in carbon tetrachloride and acetone have been accurately determined by computer analysis and listed. In routine structural studies of derivatives of dibenzothiophene it is usually found that ortho-couplings are close to 8 Hz, meta couplings about 2 Hz and between 0.5 and 1 Hz. In chloroform-dj, H-2 and 3 in dibenzothiophene have the same chemical shift and the spectrum of 1,4-dimethyldibenzothiophene in this solvent also shows H-2,3 as a singlet at 87.03. Apart from the minimal coupling which has been detected between H-1,9 of 0.08 Hz, no interring coupling is observed in dibenzothiophenes. 

F-Labelled 2-amino-2 -fluorobenzhydrol, intermediates in the synthesis of amino benzodiazepinones, has been synthesized in an elegant one-step procedure [168] based on the specific ortho coupling of an anilinodichloroborane with an aldehyde [169] (Scheme 32). 

Methoxymurrayanine (3) (3-formyl-l,6-dimethoxycarbazole) (15) was isolated from the roots of C. lansium (23). The roots of C. lansium were used to treat bronchitis and malaria. The UV (/Imax 227, 239, 251, 294, 335, and 349 nm) and IR spectra showed the presence of a 3-formylcarbazole framework. The H-NMR data were similar to murrayanine (9), with an additional methoxy group for one of the aromatic hydrogens at the C-ring of the carbazole. Since the signal for H-5 (5 7.90) is not ortho-coupled, an additional methoxy could be located at C-6. This structural conclusion was also supported by the C-NMR spectrum.
