Article Abstract

Atroposelective synthesis of -disubstituted []paracyclophanes is a difficult task in organic chemistry. We describe a facile approach for the synthesis of -disubstituted []paracyclophanes using Pd-catalyzed enantioselective C-H olefination and sequential reductive cleavage. A wide range of []paracyclophanes was obtained with excellent enantioselectivity. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the rotational barrier of -disubstituted []paracyclophanes was lower than that of -disubstituted []paracyclophanes. The synthesized planar-chiral [14]paracyclophane showed a bright fluorescence emission and impressive circularly polarized luminescence activity.

para-Cyclophane scaffolds, characterized by their 1,4-disubstituted benzene frameworks, represent a structurally unique and biologically important class of compounds. Despite their extensive presence in natural products and bioactive molecules, the synthesis of highly strained para-cyclophanes remains challenging through conventional ring-closing strategies and alternative approaches. Here we report a facile preparation of para-cyclophanes containing bent 1,4-disubstituted benzene subunits via a N-arylation-ring-expansion [5,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement between cyclic tertiary amines and aryne intermediates.

-/-disubstituted multichiral [2.2]-paracyclophanes (PCPs) represent privileged scaffolds for asymmetric catalysis, finding extensive applications as chiral ligands in organic synthesis and functional materials. However, enantioselective C-H activation strategies for accessing these structurally demanding molecules remain largely underexplored.

A planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane-based phosphine-phenol catalyst catalyzed the (3 + 2) annulation reaction of ethyl 2,3-butadienoate with 3-methyleneindolin-2-ones to produce 2,5-disubstituted cyclopentene-fused C3-spirooxindoles in high yields with high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities. This catalyst was suitable for reactions of not only benzylideneindolinones but also alkylideneindolinones, the chiral phosphine-catalyzed reactions of which have not yet been reported.
