Connecting a carbonyl and a π-conjugated group through a: P-phenylene linker by (5+1) benzene ring formation

A benzene ring was formed to connect a carbonyl group of various methyl ketones with a π-conjugated group through a p-phenylene linker. Methyl ketones and streptocyanines were used as the C1 and C5 sources, respectively, in the (5+1) annulation, which could form donor-π-acceptor molecules.

Phthalocyanines and related compounds: XXXIX. Synthesis of derivatives of some substituted 1-phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic acids

Derivatives (dinitriles, anhydrides, imides, N-phenylimides) of substituted 1-phenylnaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic and 1-phenylphenanthrene-2,3-dicarboxylic acids were prepared by the reactions of 2-bromomethylbenzophenones with various dienophiles. Starting from these derivatives, gallium complexes of substituted tetra-1-phenyl-2,3-naphthalocyanines and tetra(1-phenyl-2,3-phenanthro) porphyrazine were synthesized. 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.

Friedel-Crafts Aroylation of Benzene and Biphenyl in Methylene Chloride

Reactions of acid chlorides of o-, m- and p-toluic acids, p-methoxy- and 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoic acids with biphenyl in the presence of anhydrous AlCl3 in methylene chloride have been studied.Of these, only the reactions of o-, m- and p-toluoly chlorides with biphenyl indicates inter- and intramolecular methylene insertions in the reaction products.It is observed that the 2-, 3- and 4-methylbenzophenones, formed as intermediates, participate in the methylene insertion reactions.In a few cases, besides methylene insertion, methyl insertion has also occurred.Unlike these reactions, the reaction of o-toluoyl chloride with benzene in presence of anhydrous AlCl3 in methylene chloride gives 2-methyl-3-(p-benzylphenyl)benzophenone.The structural assignment of these products are made on the basis of their PMR and mass spectra.
