A selective and scalable two-step approach to the dimerization of norbornadiene (NBD) into its thermodynamically most stable dimer, heptacyclo[6.6.0.0 .0 .0 .0 .0 ] tetradecane, (HCTD) is reported. Calculations indicate that the reaction starts with the Rh-catalyzed stepwise homo Diels-Alder cyclisation of NBD into its exo-cis-endo dimer. Treatment of this compound with acid promotes its evolution to HCTD via a [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The assemblies of 7,12-disubstituted cages from 7-(alkyl/aryl) NBDs, as well as the selective post-synthetic C-H functionalization of the core HCTD scaffold at position C1, or positions C1 and C4 are described.
报道了一种选择性且可扩展的两步法,用于将降冰片二烯(NBD)二聚化为其热力学上最稳定的二聚体,即七环[6.6.0.0²,⁷.0³,⁶.0⁴,¹¹.0⁵,¹⁰]十四烷(HCTD)。计算表明,该反应始于铑催化的NBD逐步进行同分子狄尔斯-阿尔德环化反应生成其外型-顺式-内型二聚体。用酸处理该化合物可通过[1,2]-σ迁移重排促进其转化为HCTD。描述了由7-(烷基/芳基)NBDs组装7,12-二取代笼状物,以及在核心HCTD支架的C1位或C1和C4位进行选择性合成后C-H官能化的情况。
