The first direct synthesis of substituted anthracenes from o-tolualdehydes and aryl iodides via a Pd(II)-catalyzed C–H arylation using an alcohol-bearing transient directing group and subsequent AgOTf-assisted electrophilic aromatic cyclization is described. New transient directing groups consisting of amino acids and amino alcohols enhanced the reactivity, and the C–H arylation was complete in 12 h at 90 °C. By simply changing the silver salt to silver triflate, the one-pot synthesis of anthracene derivatives was carried out using the present reaction conditions.

Chiral 1-[9′-(2′-methoxyanthryl)]-2,2-dimesitylethenol (2), 1-[9′-(2′-fluoroanthryl)]-2,2-dimesitylethenol (3), and 1-[9′-(2′-fluoroanthryl)]-2,2-dimesitylvinyl acetate (4) were synthesized and their DNMR behavior in C6D5NO2 was studied. 3 and 4 were resolved on an amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) HPLC column to their enantiomers. Acetate 4 racemizes slowly in solution with ΔGe?, ΔHe?, and ΔSe? values of 26.2, 27.6 kcal mol-1, and 4.3 eu, respectively, as expected for a rotational ββ′-2-ring flip process in a vinyl propeller and the racemization is unaffected by added TFA, Et3N, and EtOD. Although 3 racemizes almost 350 times faster, the racemization is catalyzed by TFA and shows bell-shape catalysis by Et3N and a KIE in a partially deuteriated solvent. From this and the DNMR data, it is concluded that 3 does not racemize via a rotational ββ′-2-ring flip. Five nonflip routes are discussed for the racemization of 3, and it is concluded that only the one initiated by protonation at C1 does not contradict the experimental data. By analogy with the E/Z isomerization of the structurally related 2-(m-methoxymesityl)-1,2-dimesitylethenol 17, it is suggested that in the absence of added catalyst one or more enol molecule(s) catalyze the enantiomerization of another one. Only partial resolution was achieved for 2 and from the similarity of its behavior with that of 3, it is suggested that it racemizes by the same mechanism.
