The course of organic chemical reactions is efficiently modelled through the concepts of “electrophiles” and “nucleophiles” (meaning electron-seeking and nucleus-seeking reactive species). On the one hand, an advanced approach of the correlation of the nucleophilicity parameters N and electrophilicity E has been delivered from the linear free energy relationship log k (20 °C) = s(N + E). On the other hand, the general influence of the solvent mixtures, which are very often employed in preparative synthetic chemistry, has been poorly explored theoretically and experimentally, to date. Herein, we combined experimental and theoretical studies of the solvent influence on pyrrolidine nucleophili…
Cycloaddition reactions of 2H-1-benzothietes and 1,3,5,7-tetrathio-s-indacene-2,6-dithiones
2016
Abstract 2H-1-benzothiete (1) and 2H,5H-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]bisthiete (3) react in form of their open valence isomers with the trithiocarbonic acid esters 2a–c. The one- or twofold cycloaddition reactions yield 1,3-dithiin rings, in which C-2 is a spiro-C atom, that bears four sulfur groups. The bifunctional reactant 3 gives additionally band-shaped, hardly soluble oligomers.
Practical Syntheses of Terrylene Chromophores from Naphthalene and Perylene Building Blocks
2017
A facile and efficient method to synthesize terrylene imides, a unique class of chromophores, and their derivatives from commercially available naphthalene and perylene building blocks is reported. We developed an extremely efficient Suzuki/C-H-arylation coupling cascade with Pd2(dba)3/PCy3 (dba = dibenzylidenacetone, Cy = cyclohexyl) as the catalyst and highly soluble naphthalene derivatives as starting materials. This efficiency allows purification via precipitation and crystallization, avoiding time-consuming column chromatography. For the first time, the highly soluble 3,4,11,12-terrylene tetraester was prepared in gram scale with yields up to 75 % which thus becomes a versatile startin…
