Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of Triarylalkene-Capped Rotaxanes via Palladium-Catalyzed Tandem Sonogashira/Hydroaryl Reaction of Terminal Alkynes

Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of Triarylalkene-Capped Rotaxanes via Palladium-Catalyzed Tandem Sonogashira/Hydroaryl Reaction of Terminal Alkynes

Triarylalkene-capped conjugated rotaxanes were synthesized via a palladium-catalyzed tandem Sonogashira/hydroaryl reaction between aryl halides and terminal alkynes bearing two permethylated α-cyclodextrins (PM α-CDs) with high regioselectivity because of the insulation effect of the PM α-CDs. Moreover, sequential Sonogashira coupling and hydroarylation reactions using different aryl substrates afforded a regio- and stereoselective trisubstituted alkene as a single product. This new class of rotaxane-forming reactions can be used to increase the diversity of rotaxane skeletons, and thereby the material functionalities of rotaxanes.
