Helical Phenanthrenes, Part 5. Synthesis of Pentahelicene-7,8-dione via Intramolecular Benzoin Condensation

Abstract: The intramolecular benzoin condensation of [1,1'-binaphthyl]-2,2'-dicarbaldehyde (5), followed by oxidation with air, provides a new synthesis of (MP)-pentahelicene-7,8-dione (1). With reference to the original preparation of this quinone via acyloin condensation, its present yield (73% for the ring-closing step) is considerably increased.

“…37 Partly saturated 7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro- [5]helicenes were prepared from an intramolecular benzoin-type condensation followed by oxidation in air to provide [5]helicene-7,8-dione. 38 Otherwise, a pinacol-type coupling of an enantiomerically pure binaphthyl dialdehyde using a reductive coupling with SmI 2 in THF at 0 1C afforded the enantiopure trans diol. 39 This diol was further used as a precursor monomer for synthesizing polymers with interesting chiroptical properties.…”

“…147 In another work, a pinacol coupling followed by oxidation with air afforded racemic [5]helicene-7,8-dione. 148 Based on a previous work for making phenanthrenes, 149 1,1 0 -bis(biphenylenyl)-2,2 0 -dicarboxaldehyde can be cyclized into a dibenzocyclobutene helicene by heating with hydrazine in acetic acid (Scheme 35). 150 The X-ray crystallographic data allowed for the structural determination of benzocyclobutenebased helicenes, but their preparations were not disclosed.…”

“…In contrast, oxygen gas could be employed for oxidation of hydroquinone to orthoquinone. [72][73][74][75] In this proposed redox system using gas energy, main side product is environmentally friendly and removable water, and this system could be reversible without purification. In addition, these technologies possibly apply to photoluminesence materials switching by gas energy or gas sensor for detection of hydrogen or/and oxygen by monitoring of fluorescence.…”
