Unexpected Migration and Oxidative Cyclization of Substituted 2-Acetophenone Triflates under Basic Conditions: Synthetic and Mechanistic Insights
摘要:
Oxidative ring closure of alkyl-substituted 2-hydroxyacetophenone trifluoromethanesulfonate esters (triflates) occurs upon exposure to base in anaerobic DMF at 20-90 degreesC. Alkyl substitution is required for ring closure. A migrated enol triflate product forms at lower temperature in high yield via migration of the trifluoromethanesulfonate in the unsubstituted and monoalkyl-substituted cases. The alkyl-substituted enol triflates also enter into the benzofuran-3-one ring-forming process under thermal cyclization conditions. Potential mechanistic pathways are evaluated.

Intermolecularhydroacylation between salicylaldehydes 1, 26−40 and 1,4-penta- or 1,5-hexadienes 4−13 by Rh-catalyst proceeded under mild reaction conditions to give a mixture of iso- and normal-hydroacylated products 14−25, 41−55, and 57−60. In the hydroacylationreaction, chelation of both salicylaldehyde and diene to the Rh-complex plays a crucial role. The ratio of iso- and normal-hydroacylated
[reaction: see text] Rh-Catalyzed intermolecularhydroacylation between salicylaldehydes and 1,5-hexadienes proceeded under remarkably mild reaction conditions to afford a mixture of iso- and normal-hydroacylated products in good yields. The experiments using deuterated salicylaldehyde-d revealed that "double chelation" of salicylaldehyde and 1,5-hexadiene to Rh-complex played vital roles in the catalytic
Rh-catalyzed intermolecularhydroacylation between salicylaldehyde and alkenylnitriles proceeded at room temperature to preferentially give normal-hydroacylated products. Addition of CH3CN and NaOAc accelerated the Rh-catalyzed hydroacylation of monoolefins to exclusively produce the normal-hydroacylated products under mild reaction conditions. Plausible mechanisms for the regioselections are also

electrophilic acyl source in the reaction with diverse primary and secondary unactivated alkyl bromides. The cleavage of the relatively inert C–O bond is facilitated by the neighboring coordinating hydroxyl or sulfonamide moiety. By circumventing the use of pregenerated organometallics, this method allows efficient preparation of a variety of o-hydroxyl and tosyl-protected o-amino aryl ketones with high compatibility
