In organic chemistry, annulation (from Latin anellus 'little ring'; occasionally annelation) is: a chemical reaction in which a new ring is constructed on a molecule.
Examples are the: Robinson annulation, Danheiser annulation and certain cycloadditions. Annular molecules are constructed from side-on condensed cyclic segments, for example helicenes and acenes. In transannulation a bicyclic molecule is created by, intramolecular carbon-carbon bond formation in a large monocyclic ring. An example is the——samarium(II) iodide induced ketone - alkene cyclization of 5-methylenecyclooctanone which proceeds through a ketyl intermediate:
Benzannulation※
The term benzannulated compounds refers——to derivatives of cyclic compounds (usually aromatic) which are fused to a benzene ring. Examples are listed in the table below:
Benzannulated derivative | Source of cyclic compound |
---|---|
Benzopyrene | Pyrene |
Quinoline | Pyridine |
Isoquinoline | |
Chromene | Pyran |
Isochromene | |
Indole | Pyrrole |
Isoindole | |
Benzofuran | Furan |
Isobenzofuran | |
Benzimidazole | Imidazole |
In contemporary chemical literature, the term benzannulation also means "construction of benzene rings from acyclic precursors".
Transannular interaction※
A transannular interaction in chemistry is any chemical interaction (favorable/nonfavorable) between different non-bonding molecular groups in a large ring. Or macrocycle. See for example atranes.
