Abstract
- The synthesis and properties of a novel type of α,α-bis(heteroazulen-3-yl)-1,4-benzoquinonemethides 11a–f are studied. The synthetic method was based on a TFA-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitution on the heteroazulenes with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde to afford the corresponding methane derivatives, followed by oxidative hydrogen abstraction with DDQ, and subsequent exchange of the counter-anion by using aq. HBF4 or aq. HPF6 and neutralization. The polarization of 11a–f was evaluated by their 13C NMR and UV–vis spectral data. The thermodynamic stability of the conjugated acid of 11a–f was evaluated to be in the order 11a < 11b < 11c and in the order 11d < 11e < 11f based on their pKa values (
