Synthesis and Thermolysis of Enediynyl Ethyl Ethers as Precursors of Enyne−Ketenes
摘要:
Enediynyl ethyl ethers 14/17 were synthesized by using the Pd(PPh3)(4)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions between enynyl iodides 13/16 and (2-ethoxyethynyl)zinc chloride. Thermolysis of these enediynyl ethyl ethers in refluxing chlorobenzene (132 degrees C) promoted a retro-ene reaction to produce enyne-ketenes, which underwent the Moore cyclization reactions to form the biradicals having a phenyl radical center and a phenoxy radical center. The presence of two radical centers in the same molecule simultaneously provided many opportunities for intramolecular decay through disproportionation, radical-radical combination, and the formation of o-quinone methide.
