Abstract

Ph2P (O)-deprotection/intramolecular Eglington coupling cyclization, proceeding in one-pot manner, can be applied to synthesize cyclic phenyl polyynes. Compared to Micheal M. Haley's stepwise desilylation/Eglington coupling reaction, the polar Ph2P (O) protecting group enabled facile seperation of product from remaining starting compound for their different polarity, and it also led to easy separation of target compound because the amont of by-products which showed similar Rf to target compound decreased. Furthermore, our one-pot reaction, avoiding the workup after Ph2P (O)-deprotection and reducing losses of materials, increased the yield of cyclic aromatic polyynes. This method showed some other outstanding features including easy synthesis of intermediates and mild reaction conditions.
