Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of organic chemistry, specifically relating to a 5,6-azynylene precursor and its preparation method, as well as a method for synthesizing polysubstituted azurites and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by using the azuynylene intermediate generated from the 5,6-azynylene precursor to achieve the seven-membered ring functionalization of azurite. Background Technology
[0002] Azulene is a non-benzene aromatic hydrocarbon with unique photoelectric properties, but its selective functionalization, especially the modification of the seven-membered ring with low electron cloud density, remains a technical challenge in this field. Traditional methods, such as direct functionalization or de novo assembly, suffer from drawbacks such as site limitations, poor functional group compatibility, and low modularity.
[0003] Benzyne, as a classic strained cyclic alkyne, can achieve ortho-bifunctionalization of the benzene ring in one step and is widely used in the synthesis of substituted benzenes. Theoretically, azurite also has a similar highly reactive intermediate, "azynyne," among which 5,6-azynyne is one of its important regioisomers.
[0004] The literature "Bond Alternation in Azulenes", Yingchun Lu, David M. Lemal and Jerry P. Jasinski, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 122, No. 11, pp. 2440-2445, January 2000, records: "Treatment of dibromide 20 with phenyllithium-generated azulyne 12, which in the presence of excess furan gave the desired adduct 21 as a bluish-purple, microcrystalline powder after chromatography and sublimation. Evaporation of a methylene chloride solution of 21 yielded nearly black chunk crystals suitable for X-ray structure determination." The in-situ formation of 5,6-azuthylene from 5,6-dibromoazine and its reaction with furan is as follows:
[0005]
[0006] Although the 5,6-dibromoazine precursor can generate the 5,6-azynylene intermediate, it requires a strong base such as phenyllithium, and the activation conditions are very demanding.
[0007] Because lithium phenylene is not only a strong base but also a strong nucleophile, it may act as a nucleophile to react with the generated azuryne intermediate, consuming the intermediate and reducing the yield of the [4+2] reaction. This also limits the reaction of substrates containing electrophilic functional groups with azuryne under these conditions, such as those containing carbonyl, nitrile, or halogen groups, thus restricting the applicable substrate range. Therefore, the technique described in this literature only allows the generated 5,6-azyne intermediate to undergo a [4+2] reaction, resulting in a highly limited reaction mode and low efficiency. The reaction efficiency, expressed as a yield of only 22%, refers to the ratio of reactant quantity to product.
[0008] Therefore, an innovative and stable 5,6-azynylene precursor and a method for its efficient preparation have been developed. This method enables the 5,6-azynylene precursor to be activated under mild conditions to generate an azuynylene intermediate. Through reactions similar to benzylene, such as nucleophilic reactions, cycloaddition reactions, and transition metal catalytic reactions, different groups are introduced onto the seven-membered ring of azuyn, solving the problem of traditional methods that are difficult to introduce substituent groups into the seven-membered ring of azuyn. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a 5,6-azynylene precursor that can be activated under mild conditions to generate an azuynylene intermediate, thus solving the problem of introducing substituent groups into the seven-membered ring of azuyn with high reaction efficiency and mild, controllable modification. This invention also provides a method for preparing the 5,6-azynylene precursor, which uses mild reaction conditions and exhibits excellent acceptance of the seven-membered ring of azuyn. Furthermore, this invention provides a method for synthesizing azuyn-like compounds that enables diverse substitution at the 5,6-site of the seven-membered ring, selective introduction of functional groups at predetermined sites, and controllable construction of fused-ring systems.
