AI Article Synopsis
- Heterocycles containing phosphorus and nitrogen are increasingly used in various applications like luminescent materials and coordination chemistry, but seven-membered variants are under-researched.
- The synthesis of 1,2,5-diazaphosphepines from azophosphines involves a detailed investigation of a stepwise mechanism leading to the formation of five-membered rings before expanding to the seven-membered structure.
- The regioselective synthesis is facilitated by asymmetric alkynes, with borane B(CF) either catalyzing seven-membered ring formation or trapping an intermediate through a frustrated Lewis pair mechanism.
Article Abstract
Heterocycles containing both phosphorus and nitrogen have seen increasing use in recent years in luminescent materials, coordination chemistry and as building blocks for inorganic polymers, yet their chemistry is currently dominated by five- and six-membered derivatives. Seven-membered P/N heterocycles are comparatively scarce and lack general, high yielding syntheses. Here, we explore the synthesis and characterisation of 1,2,5-diazaphosphepines from azophosphines. The mechanism has been probed in detail with both computational and experimental studies supporting a stepwise mechanism to form a five-membered ring, and subsequent ring expansion to the diazaphosphepine. Regioselective synthesis of five- and seven-membered rings is possible using asymmetric alkynes. The Lewis acidic borane B(CF) could either catalyse the formation of the seven-membered ring (Pr derivative) or trap out a key intermediate a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) mechanism (Bu derivative).

Here, we report a novel strategy for the preparation of diverse heterocycles via a Pd-catalyzed migratory 1,1-cycloannulation reaction (MCAR) of alkenes. Starting from readily available alkenyl amines and alkenyl alcohols, this approach allows the formation of a wide range of five- to seven-membered azaheterocycles and oxaheterocycles with high efficiency and good functional group tolerance. The key to the realization of this reaction is the use of 4-iodophenol or 2-iodophenol derivatives where the phenolic hydroxyl group plays a critical role in controlling the direction of migration and the ring-size of the heterocycles through the formation of a quinone methide intermediate.

Diazo compounds are known to be good coupling partners in the synthesis of heterocycles, carbocycles and functionalized molecules a rhodium carbene-based strategy. Many heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds, including isoquinolones and isocoumarins, quinoxalines, indoles, pyrrones, benzothazines, enaminones, benzenes and seven-membered rings, can be constructed using this rhodium-catalyzed system. The reaction mechanism involves C-H activation, carbene insertion and an annulation/functionalization sequence.

The synthesis of novel quinoline-fused triazolo-azepine derivatives has been reported using an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition strategy. This method possesses considerable potential to synthesize five- and seven-membered rings in high yields (65-87%) without the necessity of metal catalysts or additives. Additionally, this methodology was applicable to pyridine and tetralone based adducts to afford triazolo-azepine derivatives.

Polycyclic aromatic diradical(oid) molecules are attracting significant attention because of their unique electronic and magnetic properties as well as their applications as functional materials. While diradical(oid) molecules bearing five-membered rings have been extensively investigated, those bearing seven-membered rings are relatively fewer. Herein, we report the synthesis of azapentabenzodihomocorannulene dication and diradical molecules.

The development of new π-conjugated motifs opens pathways to previously unexplored classes of organic semiconductors and functional dyes. In this study, five- and seven-membered carbocycles were fused at the ortho and bay regions of electron-deficient perylenes, starting from a common dialdehyde precursor. Structural analysis of the resulting perylene tetraesters, dianhydrides, and diimides (PDIs) revealed three distinct ring-fusion patterns and defined stereochemistry.
