Luminescent compounds have attracted considerable attention in the fields of biochemistry [1] and materials science as exemplified by organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs).[2] In recent years, several types of fluorescent compounds with heteroatoms, such as boron, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur, have been incorporated in conjugated systems,[3] in which these heteroatoms provide crucial perturbations to the electronic nature of the HOMO and/or the LUMO of the corresponding carbon counterparts. A significant characteristic of these compounds is the dramatic change in photophysical properties given by the chemical modification of heteroatoms. For example, oxides of fused thiophene derivatives exhibit a bathochromic shift in emissions and, in some cases, show larger quantum yields in the solid state than the corresponding unoxidized derivatives.[4] Chalcogenides or complexes with transition metals of phosphole derivatives exhibit similar properties.[5] In addition, some dendritic phosphole oxides [6] show aggregation-induced emission (AIE).[7] These outcomes provide useful chemistry for the heteroatom-containing luminescent compounds. We recently reported fluorescent compounds 1 bearing a 3-methylene-2, 3-dihydrochalcogenophene in a rigid dibenzobarrelene skeleton, in which 1-thio-and 1-seleno-1, 3-butadienes behave as the main contributor to the fluorescence.[8] The fluorescence quantum yields (FF) of 1 in dichloromethane were very high despite the presence of a heavy atom: 1.0 for 1 (E= S) and 0.86 for 1 (E= Se).The synthesis of 1 is based on the reaction of isolated or intermediately formed chalcogenametallacycles 2 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. In our studies, we have been seeking to expand the substitution patterns of the 1-chalcogeno-1, 3-butadiene fluorophores to reveal the potential as functional materials. Thus, we worked out an alternative synthetic strategy, the intramolecular cycloaddition between a 9-anthryl moiety and an alkynyl moiety, in which it is straightforward to construct the dibenzobarrelene scaffold accompanying an additional ring system in one process [Eq.(1)].[9] Furthermore, this intramolecular cycloaddition has the potential to synthesize the corresponding benzobarrelene analogues by using 1-naphthyl as the ynophile,[10] which would provide insight into the electronic and steric roles of benzene rings fused on the barrelene core. In this communication, we present the intramolecular [4+ 2]-cycloadditions of 1-(anthrylchalcogeno)-or 1-(naphthylchalcogeno) enynes I (E= S, Se) to synthesize dibenzobarrelene or benzobarrelene derivatives II, respectively, which have a substitution pattern, which was hard to obtain by our previous method, and are all highly fluorescent in solution. In addition, some of the oxide properties of the sulfur derivatives are reported.
