Abstract

Key words

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Symmetrical Dual Benzyne Cycloaddition: To a mixture of bissulfonate 1 (98.0 mg, 0.145 mmol) and KSA 2b (113 mg, 0.517 mmol) in Et2O (2.0 mL) was added n-BuLi (0.58 M in hexane, 0.54 mL, 0.31 mmol) at -78 °C. After 5 min, the reaction was stopped by adding H2O and the products were extracted with EtOAc (3 ×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by PTLC (hexane-CH2Cl2-Et2O, 3:1:1) to afford the less polar cycloadduct 4a (25.6 mg, 32.8%) and the more polar cycloadduct 4b (25.6 mg, 32.8%). 4a: R f 0.57 (hexane-EtOAc, 4:1). 1H NMR (acetone-d 6): δ = -0.05 (s, 6 H), 0.00 (s, 6 H), 0.92 (s, 18 H), 3.40 (s, 6 H), 3.53 (s, 6 H), 4.05 (s, 3 H), 4.77 (s, 2 H), 6.99 (s, 1 H). 13C NMR (acetone-d 6): δ = -3.8, -3.1, 19.0, 26.3, 52.2, 57.7, 59.3, 86.6, 105.0, 112.6, 133.2, 148.5, 149.9.

Chiral HPLC analysis [DAICEL, CHIRALPAK® OD-H, φ = 0.46 cm × 25 cm, hexane-i-PrOH, 95:5] of 4a showed two peaks, proving the structure with C 2 symmetry.

After 5 min, KSA 2a (171 mg, 0.845 mmol) in Et2O (0.5 mL) was added to the reaction mixture at -95 °C, to which was slowly added n-BuLi (0.56 M in hexane, 0.55 mL, 0.31 mmol) at -78 °C. After 5 min, the reaction was stopped by adding H2O. The products were extracted with EtOAc (3 ×) and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (hexane-acetone, 99:1) to afford the less polar cycloadduct 8a (40.9 mg, 27.6%) and the more polar adduct 8b (41.4 mg, 27.9%).
