Notes:
1,6-Disubstituted (E, Z, E)-1,3,5-hexatrienes (4 and 5) were prepared by vicinal twofold Heck coupling reactions from 1,2-dibromocyclopentene (1), 1,2-dibromocyclohexene (2), 1,2-diiodocyclopentene (8), 1,2-diiodocyclohexene (9), 1-bromo-2-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxycyclohex-1-ene (11), or 1-chloro-2-nonafluorobutanesulfonyloxycyclohex-1-ene (19) with alkenes 3, e. g. methyl, tert-butyl, menthyl, 8-phenylmenthyl acrylate, styrene, and alkenylsilanes, respectively, in moderate to mostly good and very good yields (20-92 %). The coupling of alkenylsilanes 3f-k could only be achieved with the 1,2-diiodocycloalkenes 8 and 9, respectively. The corresponding hexatrienes 5 with two different substituents in the 1- and 6-positions were prepared by a sequence of two coupling reactions with different alkenes from 1-chloro-2-nonafluorobutanesulfonyloxycyclo-hex-1-ene (19) or by Wittig-Horner-Emmons olefination of 2-bromocyclohexene-1-carbaldehyde (24) and subsequent Heck reaction of the resulting (E,Z)-bromodienes 25. Several of the hexatrienes (4aa, ee, 5aa, ee, al, am, el) readily underwent a 6π-electrocyclization upon heating in an inert atmosphere to give the 5- or 6-ring-annelated cis-5,6-disubstituted cyclohexadienes 26, 27 (50-95 %). Starting from 5am 2,3-disubstituted tetrahydronaphthalene 28am was formed under oxidative conditions (air) in the reaction and in the work-up procedure. The bissilyl-substituted derivatives 4ff, jj, 5ff did not cyclize under thermal conditions, apparently due to the steric demand of the two silyl substituents which would have to end up cis with respect to each other in the cyclohexadiene products.
