Thiophene-Cleavage-Triggered Skeletal Rearrangement of a Twisted Thia-norhexaphyrin towards Multiply-Annulated Polypyrrolic Aromatic Macrocycles.

Angewandte Chemie 2019 March 8
A newly synthesized hybrid thia-norhexaphyrin comprising a directly linked N-confused pyrrole and thiophene unit (1) revealed unique macrocycle transformations to afford multiply inner-annulated aromatic macrocycles. Oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinoe triggered a cleavage of the C-S bond of the thiophene unit, accompanied with skeletal rearrangement to afford unique π-conjugated products: a thiopyrrolo-pentaphyrin embedded with a pyrrolo[1,2]isothiazole (2), a sulfur-free pentaphyrin incorporating an indolizine moiety with stronger global aromaticity (3), and a 14π locally aromatic thiopyranyltriphyrinoid containing a 2H-thiopyran unit (4). Furthermore, 2 underwent desulfurization reactions to afford a fused pentaphyrin containing a pyrrolizine moiety (5) under mild conditions. Using expanded porphyrin scaffolds, oxidative thiophene cleavage and desulfurization of the hitherto unknown N-confused core-modified macrocycles would be a practical approach for developing unique polypyrrolic aromatic macrocycles.
