Silver(I)-Catalyzed Regioselective Construction of Highly Substituted α-Naphthols and Its Application toward Expeditious Synthesis of Lignan Natural Products
developed for regioselective synthesis of highly substituted α-naphthols, binaphthols, and anthracenol through silver(I) catalyzed C(sp3)–H/C(sp)–H, C(sp2)–H/C(sp)–H functionalization of β-ketoesters and alkynes, respectively, in a single step using water as a solvent. This protocol exhibited broad substrate scope and paved the way for synthesis of anticancer arylnaphthalenelignan natural products such as

A novel manganese-mediated reaction for the synthesis of polysubstituted α-naphthols has been developed from β-keto esters and terminal alkynes. This system holds the advantages of readily available starting materials and mild conditions. Mechanistic investigations revealed that this reaction proceeds via a tandem radical cyclization process.
A conceptually new strategy has been described for the mild, practical, and environmentally friendly preparation of naphthols and furans using a visible-light promoted photoredox neutral approach. These reactions between accessible electron-deficient bromides and commercially available alkynes could be carried out at room temperature in good-to-excellent chemical yields without any external stoichiometric oxidants.
