ABSTRACT: Here we report a general method for the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic dicarboximides (PADIs) by palladium-catalyzed ring annulation of naphthalene dicarboximide to different types of aromatic substrates. Reaction conditions were optimized by systematic variation of ligand, solvent, and additive. It was shown that solvent has a decisive effect on the yield of the reaction products and thus 1chloronaphthalene as solvent afforded the highest yield, which we attribute to a template effect due to structural resemblance to the coupling components. By applying the optimized reaction conditions, a broad series of planar carbo- and heterocycle containing PADIs were synthesized in up to 97% yield. Moreover, this approach could be applied to curved aromatic scaffold to achieve the respective bowlshaped PADI. Two-fold annulation was accomplished by employing arene diboronic esters, affording polycyclic aromatic bis(dicarboximides). The optical and electrochemical properties of this broad series of PADIs were explored as well.

INTRODUCTION Bottom-up synthetic methods for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have contributed to the development of chemistry and many fields of materials science.1,2 Not only pure hydrocarbon materials, but also heteroatom-doped π-scaffolds have been developed 3 over recent years in virtue of novel 1 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

synthetic methods.4,5,6,7 Among those, polycyclic aromatic dicarboximides (PADIs) are a particularly valued class of functional materials.8,9,10,11,12 They are used as n-type semiconductor materials in organic solar cells, light emitting diodes, and transistors, 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 and are employed as building blocks of supramolecular structures and liquid crystals as well.10 Surprisingly, most of the reported PADIs derive from rylene-based scaffolds or their oligomers.17,18,19 This is because the synthesis of PADIs has been conventionally achieved by imidization of the corresponding dicarboxylic acid anhydride. It is prerequisite in this conventional synthetic approach that the desired π-conjugated scaffold should be built prior to imidization reaction. Preparation of such dicarboxylic acid anhydrides often requires multistep synthesis and/or intensive search for an appropriate synthetic route.20,21,22,23 An alternative method that can potentially afford a wide range of PADIs is a convergent approach where a small and readily available PADI, such as a naphthalene dicarboximide, and a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) are annulated to form a larger PADI. We envisioned that such synthetic approach would be enabled by palladium (Pd)-catalyzed C–C bond formation cascade reaction and afford PADIs with various π-conjugated scaffolds. In this context, we have communicated examples of this synthetic approach for the first time in 201624,25 using dibromonaphthalene dicarboximide and pyrene boronic esters as coupling components. Since then this method has been successfully applied to synthesize bowl-shaped PADIs26 and rylene-based PADIs,27 however, in most cases with unsatisfactory product yields. Very recently, we have shown that the Pd-catalyzed ring-annulation reaction proceeds via a Heck-type reaction mechanism when affording six-membered ring annulated products and thereby limiting substrate scope to aryl boronic esters with significant double bond character.28 These drawbacks motivated us to develop a more general synthetic route to PADIs, aiming at expanding the substrate scope and improving product yields. Here we report generalized reaction conditions for palladium-catalyzed annulation of dibromonaphthalene dicarboximides and PAH boronic acid (pinacol)esters by Suzuki–Miyaura crosscoupling and direct C–H arylation cascade. We systematically optimized reaction conditions and found 2 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

that other than prerequisite ligand optimization the use of 1-chloronaphthalene as solvent greatly improved the yields of desired PADIs. This method could also be applied for the first time to heteroaromatic boronic esters such as benzothiophene and quinoline. We anticipate that the here reported optimized method would be most useful for developing novel PADIs with various πconjugated scaffolds and imide substituents that might be of interest for application in organic electronic devices and supramolecular assemblies.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Studies on optimization of Pd-catalyzed annulation reaction. We have optimized the Pdcatalyzed ring-annulation reaction for the synthesis of PADIs by using dibromonaphthalene dicarboximide 2 and naphthalene-1-boronic acid (pinacol)ester 1a as model coupling components, and systematic variation of reaction conditions (Table 1). After screening of key parameters, the reaction using [Pd2(dba)3]·CHCl3 as palladium(0) source, PCy3·HBF4 as phosphine ligand, Cs2CO3 as base, and 1-chloronaphthalene as solvent at 160 °C afforded ring-annulated product 3a in a high isolated yield of 88% (entry 11). In the screening of ligand, the best result was obtained with PCy3·HBF4 (entry 6). The concentration dependence was examined, which revealed that a lower concentration leads to a higher yield while higher concentration lowers the yield due to two-fold Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction (entries 6–8). Additives that facilitate Heck-type reaction29 did not afford higher yields (entries 9, 10). Most remarkably, the use of 1-chloronaphthalene in place of o-dichlorobenzene as a solvent dramatically increased the yield (entries 4 and 11). Such a phenomenon was also observed for the annulation of 1-bromonaphthalene to fullerene.30 We assume that good solubility of aromatic substrates as well as reaction intermediates in 1-chloronaphthalene may contribute to a higher yield. 31 Interestingly, the catalysis remained active even at three times lower substrate concentration thereby lowering catalyst concentration as well (entry 12). This is an advantage when applying this reaction to 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

two- or multi-fold annulation, since in such cases lower concentrations are required to suppress undesired side reactions such as polymerization. Addition of water turned out to be ineffective to this reaction (entry 13). The optimized reaction conditions (entry 11) were then applied to explore the scope of this convergent method for the synthesis of a broad series of PADIs.
