Silver-mediated oxidative C–C bond sulfonylation/arylation of methylenecyclopropanes with sodium sulfinates: facile access to 3-sulfonyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes
sulfonylation/arylation of a C–C σ-bond in methylenecyclopropanes with sodium sulfinates to synthesize various 3-sulfonylated 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes is reported. This sulfonylation/arylation transformation proceeds via a sequence of sulfonylation, C–C σ-bond cleavage and intramolecular cyclization, and the experimental results show that the C–C σ-bond difunctionalization reaction includes a radical process. This
Without using any transitionmetal and base, an eco‐friendly, practical and economical protocol has been established for the one‐potsynthesis of diverse (E)‐1‐phenyl‐4‐sulfonylbut‐1‐enes from easily accessible starting materials. This strategy features a wide substrate scope, tolerates a broad range of functional groups, employs a less expensive oxidant, is operationally simple, and can be easily scaled‐up
A new FeCl2- and DTBP (di-tert-butyl peroxide)-promoted oxidative ring-opening and cyclization of methylenecyclopropanes with aldehydes for the synthesis of 2-acyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalenes is presented. This oxidative cyclization reaction proceeds via a radical addition, ring-opening, and cyclization sequence facilitated by a Lewis acid, and it offers a practical and straightforward route for the oxidative
The first intermolecular ring-opening hydroacylation of alkylidenecyclopropanes with chelating aldehydes through a rhodium-catalyzed acrylamide-promoted protocol is reported. This highly efficient catalytic system enables the direct synthesis of a diverse range of linear γ,δ-unsaturated ketones. Good functional group compatibility is demonstrated for the completely atom-economical and remarkably selective
Synthesis of 2‐Benzyl‐3,4‐dihydronaphthalenes via Oxidative Radical Opening/Cyclization of Methylenecyclopropanes with Potassium Benzyltrifluoroborates
Here reports a copper-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of 2-benzyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalenes. The reaction was proposed to proceed by a sequence of radical addition, ring-opening, and cyclization of methylenecyclopropanes with potassium benzyltrifluoroborate. Such a method features operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions and widely functional group tolerance and accords a diverse array of
