Oxatriquinane (oxoniaperhydrotriquinacene[1]) is an alkyl oxonium ion with formula (CH₂CH₂CH)₃O⁺. It has a cyclononane backbone, with a tricoordinated oxygen connected to carbon 1, 4, and 7, forming three fused pentagonal rings. In contrast to most trialkyloxonium ions, oxatriquinane hydrolyzes slowly.

History

Oxatriquinane was first described in 2008. It five-step synthesis starts from 1,4,7-cyclononatriene.[2][3][4] Ita C–O bond lengths are 1.54 Å. The C−O−C angles are also acute.[2]

Reactions

Oxonium ions normally are strong alkylating agents and are hydrolytically sensitive. Oxatriquinane does not react with boiling water or with alcohols, thiols, halide ions, or amines, although it does react with stronger nucleophiles such as hydroxide, cyanide, and azide.[2] The ability of the oxygen to enter into a fourth covalent bond has been of some theoretical interest and was achieved using carborane acid.[5] As illustrated by the structures of most metal oxides, oxygen compounds routinely have bonds to >3 elements in other classes of compounds.

Analogues

Related species include oxatriquinacene,[2] the tri-unsaturated analogue, which is of interest as a possible precursor to oxaacepentalene, a neutral aromatic species. 1,4,7-tri-tert-butyloxatriquinane has also been synthesised; this compound contains significant amounts of intramolecular steric strain, resulting in further bond elongation to give C–O bond lengths of 1.622 Å, the longest recorded in any species.[6]

References

Triquinane is more often used in the natural product literature to refer to three angularly fused cyclopentane rings sharing a common quaternary carbon in the center, a structure which contains one more carbon atom at the periphery. Moreover, substitution by O⁺ is more properly designated by the prefix oxonia. Nevertheless, the authors who first prepared the cation called it oxatriquinane, and the name has been perpetuated in the literature. A semisystematic name in line with standard nomenclature might be 2a¹-oxonia-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydrotriquinacene.
