Abstract

A new synthetic route to highly fluorescent benzofuranylmethylidenebenzoxasiloles through cationic rhodium(I)/binap complex-catalyzed cascade cycloisomerization of bis(2-ethynylphenol)silanes has been developed involving 1,2-silicon and 1,3-carbon (alkyne) migrations followed by oxycyclization. The present synthesis requires only three steps, starting from commercially available dichlorodiisopropylsilane, which is markedly shorter than our previous synthesis (eight steps starting from commercially available chlorodiisopropylsilane). Theoretical calculations elucidated the mechanism of the above cascade cycloisomerization. This reaction is initiated by the formation of a rhodium vinylidene not through direct 1,2-silicon migration but rather through an unprecedented stepwise 1,5-silicon migration followed by C-Si bond-forming cyclization from a dearomatized allenylrhodium complex. Subsequent 1,3-carbon (alkyne) migration leading to a η3 -allenyl/propargyl-rhodium complex followed by oxycyclization through π-bond (alkyne) activation with the cationic rhodium(I) complex affords the benzofuranylmethylidenebenzoxasilole product. The structure-fluorescence property relationships of the thus obtained benzofuranylmethylidenebenzoxasilol...Continue Reading
