Electrophilic C-H Borylation of Aza[5]helicenes Leading to Bowl-Shaped Quasi-[7]Circulenes with Switchable Dynamics
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY(2022)
摘要
The intrinsic relationship between helicenes and circulenes is of fundamental interest and importance in molecular engineering. Herein, electrophilic borylation of phenanthroline-derived aza[5]helicenes is presented, resulting in the incorporation of a boryl unit into two termini of helicenes to afford quasi-[7]circulenes. Their bowl-shaped structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as electrochemical measurements and DFT calculations, gave insight into their electronic properties. Variable-temperature NMR studies and DFT calculations revealed bowl-to-bowl inversion at room temperature and bowl-to-helix equilibria at elevated temperature, highlighting the important role of B <- N bond strength in tuning their dynamic properties.
