Triphenylcyclopropenium cation

The stable triphenylcyclopropenium cation (81) undergoes an electron-transfer reaction when photolyzed in acidic medium (van Tamelen et al., 1968, 1971). Irradiation of 81 for 4 hours in 10% aqueous sulfuric acid resulted in a 49% yield of hexaphenylbenzene (82). The reaction is presumed to proceed by initial charge transfer to produce the cyclopropenyl radical 83, which then couples to give 84. This compound in... [Pg.145]

The triphenylcyclopropenium cation (2), first prepared by Breslow,14 is an unusually intriguing species a 2tt-electron aromatic species constituted by a three-membered carbon ring. In every respect the triphenylcyclopropenium cation displays traditional aromatic behavior, the same as benzene. [Pg.288]

The p-phenylene-bis(diphenylcyclopropenium) dication, 39 (R = H), was found to have a />Kr+ value of -1.1, that is, the dication is less stable than the triphenylcyclopropenium cation (pkR+ = 2.8) by 1.7 pK units, again owing to charge-charge repulsion in this dication. [Pg.228]

Reduction of the triphenylcyclopropenium cation with zinc, magnesium and chromium salts, or by electrolysis affords hexaphenyl 3,3 -bicyclopropenyl via the triphenylcyclopro-penyl radical With lithium aluminium hydride the triarylcyclopropenium ions are reduced to the corresponding triarylcyclopropene. [Pg.1319]

Other studies on systems claimed to be aromatic include calculations on di- and triphenylcyclopropenium cations, in which modifications of the conventional Johnson-Bovey-Waugh-Fessenden model... [Pg.6]

Reduation. The triphenylcyclopropenium cation is reduced in good yield to triphenylcyclopropene by means of lithium aluminium hydride [34,35]. Other triaryl derivatives have been reduced similarly [34]. On the other hand reduction of diphenylcyclopropenium salts by hydrides leads to the formation of 1,2,4,5-tetraphenylbenzene [35]. [Pg.86]

In contrast the triphenylcyclopropenium cation does not readily add to cyclopropenes, explaining why in this case triphenylcyclopropene is formed when the cyclopropenium salt is reduced by hydrides [35]. [Pg.86]

An interesting chemical proof of the symmetry of this cation was provided by preparing it from C-labelled benzal bromide and then ring-opening the derived triphenylcyclopropenium cation [33] ... [Pg.308]

The l,2,3-tri-/-butylcyclopropenium cation is so stable that the perchlorate salt can be recrystallized from water. An X-ray study of triphenylcyclopropenium perchlorate has verified the existence of the carbocation as a discrete species. Quantitative estimation of the stability of the unsubstituted ion can be made in terms of its pXn+ value of —7.4, which is intermediate between those of such highly stabilized ions as triphenylmethyl... [Pg.524]

According to this procedure, with proper choice of reaction conditions, a sizeable amount of diphenylacetylene can be converted quantitatively to triphenylcyclopropenium bromide in a few hours. The reaction is of wide generality and can be applied to p-anisylphenylacetylene and to di-p-anisylacetylene, or with p-anlsal chloride instead of a,a-dichlorotoluene. to prepare p-methoxy derivatives of the title compound. Since the initial preparation of this derivative of the cyclopropenyl cation by a less efficient procedure, many aryl-, alkyl- and heteroatom-substituted derivatives of this simplest cyclic aromatic system have been synthesized, including... [Pg.38]
