Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed coupling process of dibenzobarrelene with annelated aryl halides leads to special benzocyclobutenes, resembling Diels-Alder adducts of antiaromatic benzocyclobutadienes with anthracene. Moderate steric pressure in intermediary five-membered palladacycles seems to be decisive for this type of transformation.

Key words

benzocyclobutenes - C-H activation - domino processes - palladium catalysis - steric pressure

General Procedure for Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions of Aryl Halides with Dibenzobarrelene (4): A mixture of aryl halide (3.00 mmol), dibenzobarrelene (4; 202 mg, 1.00 mmol; or in the ratio outlined in Table [¹] ), K₂CO₃ (1.1 g, 8.0 mmol), n-Bu₄NBr (645 mg, 2.00 mmol), Pd(OAc)₂ (12 mg, 0.05 mmol) and DMF (10 mL) in a sealed tube (for convenience) was stirred under argon at 100 ˚C for 3 d. After diluting with H₂O (50 mL), the reaction mixture was extracted three times with diethyl ether or methyl tert-butyl ether (50 mL). The Et₂O extract was filtered through silica and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (hexanes or hexanes-dichloro-methane on silica gel).
