Pentiptycene building blocks derived from nucleophilic aromatic substitution of pentiptycene triflates and halides.
The nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S(N)Ar) reactions of the nitro-substituted pentiptycene triflate 15 with LiBr and LiI and the resulting halides 18 and 19 with N(3)(-), CN(-), and ArS(-) in DMF provide an efficient route toward pentiptycene halides and dihalides and other new pentiptycene building blocks. The reactivity of diaminopentiptycene in Pd-catalyzed C-N coupling reactions is also demonstrated.
