Facile Synthesis of Naphthothiophenone Derivatives and Anthradithiophenedione via Friedel–Crafts Acylation and Their Fundamental Properties

Abstract

Facile synthetic methods for constructing naphthothiophenone and its π-extended derivatives were developed. Naphthothiophenone and anthradithiophenedione were synthesized by the S-acylation of thiol to form chlorothioformate and subsequent Friedel–Crafts acylation. A bromination reaction of naphthothiophenone and its application to Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling was also carried out. The fundamental physical properties of these compounds were also investigated.

Key words

naphthothiophenone - anthradithiophenedione - thiophenone - acylation - cross-coupling

The reaction mixture was poured into cold water (1 L), and extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (6 × 50 mL). The combined organic phase was dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane) to afford 5 as yellow solid (3.13 g, 14.1 mmol, 93%). A suspension of 5 (762 mg, 3.42 mmol) and AlCl₃ (1.368 g, 10.3 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (170 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 7 h. The resulting mixture was poured into H₂O (500 mL) and was extracted with CHCl₃ (5 × 30 mL). The combined organic phase was dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated under reduced pressure.
