  • synthesis of large ring 3 4 alkylenedioxythiophenes adot derivatives via Mitsunobu Reaction
    Tetrahedron Letters, 2011
    Co-Authors: Joohee Kang, Fang Wang, Seungmin Paek, Seong Ju Hwang, Youngmee Kim, Sung Jin Kim, Jinho Choy, Juyoung Yoon
    Abstract:

    Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) stands out for its optimized conductivity, stability, and high degree of transparency which has led to its successful commercialization. These excellent properties of PEDOT are mostly ascribed to the alkylenedioxy bridge across the 3- and 4-positions, and thus much effort has been dedicated to synthesizing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) analogs. However, only few homologous compounds were successfully synthesized, such as 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (PrDOT) or 3,4-(1,4-butylenedioxy)thiophene (BuDOT). In this Letter, we use Mitsunobu Reaction to synthesize a series of 3,4-alkylenedioxythiophenes (ADOTs) derivatives with 8- to 16-membered rings. The eight-membered compounds were obtained in high or excellent yield. We also found that the 9- to 16-membered EDOT analogs were obtained in relatively low yield because of the competitive Reaction to make dimers. Our method provides an easy way to modify ethylenedioxythiophenes (EDOTs), and these obtained ADOTs compounds are promising building blocks for the synthesis of functional π-conjugated systems used in material chemistry.

    Abstract:

    The mechanism of the redox-neutral organocatalytic Mitsunobu Reaction, catalyzed by (2-hydroxybenzyl)diphenylphosphine oxide, reported by Denton et al., has been studied computationally with ωB97X-D density functional theory. We discovered that the nucleophilic substitution Reaction between carboxylate and alkoxyphosphonium ions, to reform the phosphine oxide catalyst, is the rate-determining step of the overall process and is significantly accelerated compared with a general-acid-catalyzed SN2 Reaction. The (2-hydroxybenzyl)diphenylphosphine oxide is regenerated and activated in every catalytic cycle via intramolecular dehydration/cyclization. We also designed several phosphine oxide catalysts that we predict to be more effective catalysts.
