Palladium catalysed carbonylation reactions using the meta- and para-iodo derivatives of all-cis-3-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrafluorocyclohexane (4) are illustrated as the start point for a variety of functional group interconversions. The resultant benzaldehyde and benzoic acids offer novel building blocks for further derivatisation and facilitate the incorporation of the facially polarised all-cis-1,2,4,5-tetrafluorocyclohexane motif into more advanced molecular scaffolds.

The targeted application of multiple helicenes in photo-optical applications requires their rational design. Toward this goal, we report on the synthesis of pyrene-based triple helicene 1 and investigate the positional effect of extension of the π-conjugated system on the photo-chemical and chiro-optical properties of triple helicenes. The conformational and aggregatory behavior of 1 were studied both experimentally using VT NMR spectroscopy and computationally using high-level DFT computations. Although π-extension was observed to have a marked effect on the spectroscopic properties of triple helicenes, comparison with other known π-extended helicenes reveals that the position at which π-extension is introduced is only of nominal importance. Our results thus suggest that the presence of a particular helicene motif is dominant in dictating the physico-chemical properties of triple helicenes.

AbstractMulticomponent reactions (MCRs) facilitate the rapid and diverse construction of molecular scaffolds with modularity and step economy. In this work, engagement of boronic acids as carbon nucleophiles culminates in a Passerini-type three-component coupling reaction towards the synthesis of an expanded inventory of α-hydroxyketones with skeletal diversity. In addition to the appealing features of MCRs, this protocol portrays good functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope under mild conditions and operational simplicity. The utility of this chemistry is further demonstrated by amenable modifications of bioactive products and pharmaceuticals as well as in the functionalization of products to useful compounds.

Tetrakis(o-xylylenedithio)phthalocyanine 5 and its nickel complex 5-Ni were treated with aluminum chloride in toluene to eliminate the peripheral o-xylylene groups. The thiolate anions generated from 5 and 5-Ni were reacted with carbonyldiimidazole to produce phthalocyanines 6 and 6-Ni with four 1,3-dithiole-2-one rings, respectively. Phthalocyanine 7a having four ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene units was prepared via the condensation of 6-Ni with ethylenedithio-1,3-dithiole-2-thiones. The reaction of 6-Ni with bis(methylthio)-1,3-dithiole-2-thiones gave phthalocyanine 7b with the corresponding TTF units. The structures of the products were determined by 1 H NMR and MALDI-TOF-MS. Their electrochemical and optical properties were examined by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis spectroscopy.

Application of multiple helicenes in photo‐optical applications requires their rational design. We therefore here report on the synthesis of pyrene‐based triple helicene 1, to study the positional effect of extension of the π‐conjugated system on the photo‐chemical and chiro‐optical properties of triple helicenes. The conformational and aggregatory behavior of 1 were studied both experimentally using VT NMR spectroscopy and computationally using high‐level DFT computations. Although π‐extension was observed to have a marked effect on the spectroscopy properties of triple helicenes, comparison with other known π‐extended helicenes reveals that the position at which π‐extension is introduced is only of nominal importance. Our results thus suggest that the presence of a particular helicene motive is dominant in dictating the physico‐chemical properties of triple helicenes.
