The Pd(II)-catalyzed cyclizations of 2,2-difluorovinylated biaryls, following a Friedel-Crafts-type mechanism, provide a new route to pinpoint-fluorinated phenacenes. The single fluorine substituent stabilized the synthesized fluoropicenes (fluoro[5]phenacenes) toward aerial oxidation and contributed to their solubility in organic solvents. For example, 6- and 13-fluoropicenes were 25- and 15-fold more soluble in THF than nonfluorinated picene. X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed that the fluorine substituent did not alter molecular planarity.
Pd(II)催化的 2,2-二氟乙烯基联苯环化反应,遵循Friedel-Crafts 型反应机理,为 pinpoint-氟代菲提供了一条新途径。单氟取代基稳定了合成的氟代菲(氟代[5]菲),使其不易被氧化,并增加了其在有机溶剂中的溶解度。例如,6-和 13-氟代菲在 THF 中的溶解度比非氟代菲分别高出 25 倍和 15 倍。X 射线晶体结构分析表明,氟取代基并没有改变分子的平面性。
