E ・・・ N=1 N=2 Ethylene N=3 Allyl Radical N=4 N=5 N→∞ Butadiene Pentadienyl Radical Energy bands of olefins 3 Application Pentacene Pentacene has already been put to practical use in thin-film transistor. But, it unfortunately is prone toward oxidative degradation. There is demand for alternative, acene-like topologies. 4 Frame-work • Acenes condensed benzene ring in a line • Dibenzopentalene Pentalene • Dibenzoindacene Attractive Structural Motifs Indacene 5 Dibenzoindacene • Antiaromatic (20 π-electorons) p-Xylylene • p-Xylylene core • More resistant to degrade acenes It does not possess any internal s-cis diene linkage. s-cis diene Fully conjugated dibenzoindacenes are extremely rare. 6 The Hückel Rule • Aromatic (4n+2) π-electrons (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, …) • Antiaromatic (4n) π-electrons (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, …) E x Cyclic π-Conjugated Polyene Benzene (4n+2) π 1,3-Cyclobutadiene (4n) π 7 Example1 of Dibenzoindacene • Transannular Cyclization is induced by Iodine, electrophilic. • Tetraiodides These rapidly oxidized to the corresponding diones upon exposure to air.

Chem. 1994, 59, 1294-1301.8 Example 2 of Dibenzoindacene • The Synthesis of Stable Dibenzoindacenes Multiple Steps 2 or 3 months 1 : R=H 2 : R = Decane M. M. Haley, et al. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.

ASAP 10 Motivation • The dibenzoindacene (tetraiodides) synthesized in a single step is unstable. • Multiple steps are required to synthesize the stable one. • For easy synthesis, a short-step synthesis rout is required. • I have studied to synthesize a dibenzoindacene with transannular cyclization. 11 Transannular Cyclization J.Otera, et al.

(concentration of material, equivalent of BuLi, reaction time, reaction temperature) Reaction conditions were optimized. 15 Identification by NMR 3 16 Future Work 1 • I will study reaction conditions for the next transannular cyclization. • Then I will mesure its physical properties, and tune them by using other reagents instead of BuLi and BuI. 17 Future Work 2 • Bergman Cycloaromatization W. M. Dai, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 7360-7371. 18 Future Work 2 • Bergman Cycloaromatization of 3 19 Summary • Dibenzoindacene are rare fully conjugated species. • The reaction conditions for transannular cyclization of dehydrobenzo[12]annulene were optimized. • Future works are transannular cyclization of the next step and bergman cycloaromatization to synthesize π-conjugated compounds with short-steps. 20 21
