Substituted 5,6,11,12-tetradehydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes: syntheses, properties, and DFT studies of substituted Sondheimer-Wong diynes.

Highly strained cyclic acetylenes 5,6,11,12-tetradehydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes (Sondheimer-Wong diynes) having various substituents on their benzene rings were synthesized successfully by one-pot treatment of the corresponding formyl sulfones with diethyl chlorophosphate/lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) and then lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). When mixtures of two types of formyl sulfones bearing different substituents were subjected to this protocol, the unsymmetrically substituted Sondheimer-Wong diynes could be synthesized in a stepwise manner by isolation of the heterocoupled vinyl sulfone intermediates followed by their treatment with LDA. The UV-vis absorption spectra and cyclic voltammograms of the substituted Sondheimer-Wong diynes were recorded. The electronic effect of substituents on the diynes was investigated in their click reactions and nucleophilic and electrophilic additions.
