Abstract
A convenient synthetic protocol for the hexasubstituted benzene derivatives was successfully developed by DABCO promoted domino reaction of arylidene malononitrile with two molecules of dialkyl but-2-ynedioates. The domino reaction resulted in tetraalkyl 6-cyano-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylates in good to high yields. This formal [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition was believed to proceed with sequential nucleophilic addition, Michael addition, annulation and aromatization processes.
