Abstract

Synthesis of various bridged nicotinates 6 having [n](2,5)pyridinophane skeletons (n=8-14) was accomplished by the unique pyridine-formation reaction of methyl propiolate with a series of formyl-substituted (vinylimino)phosphoranes 5, which were prepared from the corresponding cycloalkanones 1 via Vilsmeier-Haack formylation giving chloro-substituted cycloalkenals 2, their thermal and photochemical transformation to formyl azirines 4, and the following ring-opening reactions with triphenylphosphine. The HPLC analysis of [11](2,5)pyridinophane derivatives, (Sp,S)-14 and (Rp,S)-14, showed that these diastereomers rapidly epimerize themselves at room temperature and that their planar-chirality was thermodynamically less stable as compared to the corresponding [11](2,5)cyclophane systems.
