Keywords: helicene azahelicene preparation; CH activation; azahelicenes; domino reactions; helical structures; palladium.They researched the compound: Tricyclohexylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate( cas:58656-04-5 ).Category: imidazoles-derivatives. Aromatic heterocyclic compounds can be divided into two categories: single heterocyclic and fused heterocyclic. In addition, there is a lot of other information about this compound (cas:58656-04-5) here.
The synthesis of the target compounds was achieved by a carbon-hydrogen bond activation and domino reaction process using palladium(II) acetate and tricyclohexylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate as catalyst combination under optimized reaction conditions. The title compounds thus formed included an axially chiral (+)-helicene (I) [phenanthro[1,2-a]phenanthridine] and related substances, such as dibenzo[c,g]phenanthrene, benzo[c]naphtho[1,2-f]quinoline, naphtho[1,2-a]phenanthridine 2-oxide, naphtho[1,2-f]quinoline derivatives Key intermediates in this synthesis included 4-[2-[(1Z)-2-bromoethenyl]-1-naphthalenyl]isoquinoline, 2-[(1Z)-2-bromoethenyl]-1,1′-binapphthalene.
