The Benzyne Story

Abstract: The history of o-benzyne from its early beginnings as an unobservable reactive intermediate until its present status as a very well characterized but still theoretically challenging molecule with important applications in synthesis is reviewed. The m- and p-benzynes, tridehydrobenzenes, and benzdiynes are also known, and p-benzyne is a key intermediate in the action of a potent class of ene-diyne anti-tumour compounds.

“…Calculated relative energies of the intermediates and transition states are illustrated in Figure 5 (see Supplementary Figure S2 in the Electronic Supplementary Material for the energy-optimized structures). The structure of m-benzyne has been the topic of many investigations and much debate [29,31,32]. Our results, which indicate that a m-benzyne is not a regular hexagon but a structure with a shorter distance between C1 and C3 positions, is congruent with other recent calculations [33] ( Figure S2).…”

“…Product ion spectra of in-source-generated m/z 134 ion from 2-carboxyacetanilide (a), 3-carboxyacetanilide (b), and 4-carboxyacetanilide (c) recorded at a laboratory frame collision energy setting of 25 eV molecules are known to be singlet states [26][27][28]. The singlet structure of meta-benzyne determined using B3LYP and similar hybrid functionals is known to have a short interatomic distance between the C1 and C3 atoms, suggesting a bicyclic structure with a σ bond between the two carbons [29]. However, the bicyclic structure is not congruent with experimental evidence on the meta-benzyne ground state from IR spectroscopy.…”

“…[3] Die isoelektronische Substitution zweier DidehydroKohlenstoffatome durch eine BN-Einheit verknüpft 1 mit dem 1,2-Azaborin 2, auf dieselbe Weise wie Benzol 3 mit 1,2-Dihydro-1,2-azaborin 4 (Schema 1). Im Jahr 2009 wurde die letztgenannte Verbindung erstmals von Liu et al synthetisiert.…”

“…[3] Die BN-Analoga der Alkine, die Iminoborane, kommen durch die Polarität der B-N-Bindung im Gegensatz zu den Alkinen nicht in den Genuss kinetischer Stabilität. [6] Trotz kinetischer Stabilisierung durch voluminçse Substituenten reagieren Iminoborane nämlich unter Oligomerisierung, meist unter Bildung von Borazolen.…”
