Area of Science:

  • Organic Chemistry
  • Synthetic Chemistry
  • Polycyclic Compounds

Background:

  • Tricyclic amines with rigid topologies are of interest in synthetic chemistry.
  • The synthesis of complex polycyclic molecules presents significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize azatriquinane, a novel tricyclic amine with a hemispherical topology.
  • To explore the chemical transformations of azatriquinane for generating new molecular architectures.

Main Methods:

  • A six-step synthetic route starting from pyrrole.
  • Oxidative dimerization of azatriquinane.
  • Oxidation of azatriquinane with chlorine.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of azatriquinane, the first reported [2.2.2]cyclazine.

  • Azatriquinane can be oxidatively dimerized to a strained heptacycle.
  • Oxidation with chlorine yields azatriquinacene, a precursor to diazadodecahedrane.

    • Conclusions:

    • Azatriquinane represents a new class of rigid, tricyclic amines.
    • The synthetic accessibility of azatriquinane opens avenues for creating highly strained polycyclic systems.
    • Azatriquinacene derived from azatriquinane is a theoretical precursor for complex cage compounds.
