β¦ Synopsis
Reaction of (Z)-[6]paracycloph-3-ene (2) with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) gave a [2 + 21 cycloadduct (4, which represents the first example of thermal [ 2 + 2 ] cycloaddition of a benzene derivative under mild conditions. The structure of 4 was confirmed by x-ray crystallographic analysis. Semi-empirical PM3 calculations and the measurement of the He I photoelectron spectrum of 2 indicated that the ionization potential of 2 is considerably lower than that of [6]paracyclophane ( I ) , which gave a [4 + 21 cycloadduct (3)
with TCNE. The unusual pericyclic selectivity and regioselectivity are discussed on the basis of PM3 calculations. The regioselectivity is ascribed to the higher x bond order of the bridgehead aromatic bond of 2, which is on the same side of the bridge double bond, than that o f the bond on the opposite side of the bridge double bond.
