Abstract
The efficient synthesis of model asphaltenes as polyaromatic, nitrogenous compounds is reported. These model asphaltenes are to be used for supramolecular investigation for developing enhanced bitumen processing methodology.
Our synthesis of benzo[f]quinoline and benzo[b]anthraquinoline derivatives linked to polyaromatic hydrocarbons by alkane and alkene tethers, including structures with complex steroidal fusions, make-up an archipelago motif and represent current models of asphaltene structure. With an optimized acid catalyzed multicomponent reaction and an improved preparation of 1-vinylpyrene, we developed efficient syntheses of model asphaltene fragments and developed methodology for expanding our library of asphaltene compounds.
