Abstract:
5,10-Bis(phenyl-sulfon-yl)tetra-hydro-dibenzo-penta-lene, C28H22O4S2, 1, was suc-cessfully synthesized via the photocatalyst-promoted hy-dro-genative transannulation of di-sulfonyl-cyclo-octa-tetra-ene, 2, using perylene as the photocatalyst in the presence of (i-Pr)2NEt under UV-light irradiation (398 nm, 30 W). In this reaction, the cyclo-octa-tetra-ene moiety of 2 underwent hy-dro-genative transannulation, yielding 1. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that both enanti-omers of 1 are arranged alternately along the a axis of the unit cell. The structure features a wide V-shaped motif consisting of 6-5-5-6 fused rings, with a dihedral angle of approximately 97.2° between the planes of the terminal phenyl-ene rings. Additionally, a pair of phenyl-sulfonyl groups were observed at the exo positions relative to the V-shaped array.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
