What is Synthesis and Characterization of Pyridine‐, Pyrazine‐, and Quinoxaline‐Derived [4]Helicenes and S‐Shaped Double [4]Helicenes about?

A systematic study of the synthesis and properties of 1‐aza‐, 4‐aza‐, and 1,4‐diaza[4]helicenes as well as the previously unknown S‐shaped double 1,4‐diaza[4]helicenes has been reported. The synthetic route to the aza‐ and diaza[4]helicenes involved an electrophile‐induced cyclization of 3(2)‐alkynyl‐2(3)‐(naphthalen‐1‐yl)azines (i.e., quinoxaline, pyrazine, pyridine), which were prepared in two steps from the commercially available __ortho__‐dihalo‐substituted azine. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and ICl were used as electrophiles. The ICl‐promoted cyclization provided the 5‐iodo derivatives of the aza‐ and diaza[4]helicenes in yields of 47–71 %. The use of TFA as the electrophile afforded the helicenes along with isomeric products from an alternative cyclization and subsequent 1,2‐shift of the C–C bond (e.g., naphtho[2,1‐__f__]quinoxalines or naphtho[2,1‐__a__]phenazines, 87–89 % total yield, 1.5–1.8:1 ratio). The presence of an iodine substituent in the hetero[4]helicenes allowed for the introduction of an alkynyl group by using a Sonogashira reaction. The subsequent cycloizomerization upon treatment with TFA gave the S‐shaped double 1,4‐diaza[4]helicenes. The molecular structures
