We report here one of the rare examples of expanded hexaphyrins named as dithia pyribenzihexaphyrin macrocycles containing six-membered rings such as pyridine and p-phenylene along with five-membered heterocycles such as pyrrole and thiophene as a part of a macrocyclic frame. Trifluoroacetic acid catalyzed [3+3] condensation of equimolar mixture of [10,10′-bis(p-tert-Bu phenyl)hydroxymethyl]-1,3-bis(2-thienyl)pyridine diol (2,6-pyri diol) and 1,4-bis(phenyl(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methyl)benzene (p-benzidipyrrane) in CH2Cl2 followed by oxidation with DDQ afforded stable nonaromatic dithia 2,6-pyri-para-benzihexapyrins and in 6-8% yields. The macrocycles were characterized by high-resolution mass spectroscopy and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. NMR studies revealed the nonaromatic nature of dithia 2,6-pyri-p-benzihexaphyrins and indicated that the para-phenylene ring prefers to be in quininoid form rather than in benzenoid form. The macrocycles displayed sharp absorption bands in the region of ~380-500 nm and a broad band at ~700 nm, reflecting their nonaromatic nature. Upon protonation, these macrocycles showed NIR absorption properties. The redox studies of macrocycles indicated their electron-deficient nature. The DFT/TD-DFT studies are in line with the exptl. observations. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of 2,6-Dibromopyridine(cas: 626-05-1Formula: C5H3Br2N)
2,6-Dibromopyridine(cas: 626-05-1) belongs to pyridine. Pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines have found a function in almost all aspects of organic chemistry. Pyridine has found use as a solvent, base, ligand, functional group, and molecular scaffold. As structural elements, these moieties are potent electron-deficient groups, metal-directing functionalities, fluorophores, and medicinally important pharmacophores. Formula: C5H3Br2N
