[n]Radialenes are alicyclic organic compounds containing n cross-conjugated exocyclic double bonds.[1][2][3][4] The double bonds are commonly alkene groups but those with a carbonyl (C=O) group are also called radialenes.[5] For some members the unsubstituted parent radialenes are elusive but many substituted derivatives are known.

Radialenes are related to open-chain dendralenes and also to compounds like butadiene and benzene which also consist of a ring of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms.

Radialenes are investigated in organic chemistry for their unusual properties and reactivity but have not ventured outside the laboratory. Reported uses are as experimental building blocks for novel organic conductors and ferromagnets.[6] The first radialene called hexaethylidencyclohexane was synthesised in 1961.[7]

Conformation

[edit | edit source]

[3] and [4]radialenes are expected to have a planar molecular geometry with all carbon atoms in the same plane. This is verified experimentally in hexamethyl[3]radialene and cyclobutanetetraonetetrakis(hydrazone). Decamethyl[5]radialene has a twist envelope geometry with C2 symmetry while a chair conformation is calculated for [6]radialene and found experimentally for hexa-(ethylidene)cyclohexane

Due to their specific pi-electron distributions, hydrocarbons such as perylene and triphenylene are not considered radialenes. One study [6] describes a [6]radialene composed of thiophene units:[8]

Planar radicalene Patra 2007

This compound is reported as planar with D3h symmetry (X-ray diffraction) but not aromatic: the carbon-carbon bond lengths are unusually long (145 pm vs. 140 pm for benzene) and the calculated NICS value is close to zero.

Synthesis and properties

[edit | edit source]

The parent [3], [4], [5] and [6]radialenes polymerize when in contact with oxygen.

[3]Radialenes

[edit | edit source]

[3]Radialene or trimethylenecyclopropane was synthesised in 1965.[9][10][11] Reported derivatives are triquinocyclopropanes,[12][13][14] salts of trimethylenecyclopropane dianions,[15] tris(thioxanthen-9-ylidene)cyclopropane,[16] tris(fluoren-9-ylidene)cyclopropane[17] and hexakis(trimethylsilylethynyl)[3]radialene.[18] Phosphorus derivatives (based on 4,5,6-triphospha[3]radialene) have also been reported.[19][20][21][22] Phospharadialenes have been investigated as quantum efficiency improvers in solar cells [23] Hexakis[4-(diarylamino)phenyl][3]radialene derivatives have been investigated for their low oxidation potentials.[24]

[4]Radialenes

[edit | edit source]

The unsubstituted [4]radialene has been prepared in an elimination reaction of cis,trans,cis-tetra(bromomethyl)cyclobutane with sodium methoxide in ethanol.[25]

[4]radialene synthesis
[4]radialene synthesis

Hydrogenation with platinum on carbon gives cis,cis,cis-tetramethylcyclobutane in accordance with the proposed structure.

[5]Radialenes

[edit | edit source]

Successful low-temperature synthesis of the parent compound [5]radialene was reported in 2015.[26]

[6]Radialenes

[edit | edit source]

The parent [6]radialene is unstable and polymerises immediately on formation. It has been synthesised from 1,5,9-cyclododecatriyne, 1,3,6-tri(chloromethyl)mesitylene and tricyclobutabenzene.[27][28][29][30]

Only substituted [6]radialenes exist as stable compounds. Stable derivatives are the hexamethyl substituted,[7][31] dodecamethyl substituted [32] and hexabromo substituted [33] radialene.

A trisalkoxy-substituted radialene has also been reported,[34] the central ring adopting a non-planar twist-boat conformation:

Uses

[edit | edit source]

Radialenes have been researched as a potential way to access complex synthetic molecules [35][36] and in polymer synthesis.[37][38]
