Abstract
Two planar BN doped benzofluorenes (BN-BkF and BN-BjF) were synthesized separately through palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C–C or C–N coupling reactions. The structures of both BN-BkF and BN-BjF are unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Moreover, the BN unit doping leads to a much lower HOMO level and higher LUMO level as compared to their carbon analogues BkF and BjF. In comparison to BkF and BjF, both BN-BkF and BN-BjF exhibit blue shifts in their ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. Furthermore, halogenation of BN-BkF and BN-BjF afforded monohalogenated BN-benzofluorenes in good yields. These monohalogenated BN-benzofluorenes can serve as convenient intermediates for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions to yield a series of functionalized BN-benzofluorene derivatives. The UV–vis absorption and emission spectroscopies in dichloromethane of these BN-benzofluorene derivatives were studied, and the photophysics of these compounds exhibited a high degree of substituent dependency.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
