In this paper, a basic method to access new multicomponent reactions (MCRs) is reported. The mechanism of these MCRs is based on the trapping of methyleneintermediates, formed in situ by reaction of formaldehyde with electron-rich carbons, with alkene, thiol or indole derivatives. According to our strategy, a wide range of valuable skeletons has been obtained in a one-pot reaction, thus allowing a
dearomatization of 2‐substituted phenols to either 1,2‐benzoquinols or their cyclodimers, catalyzed by 4,5‐dimethyl‐2‐iodoxybenzenesulfonic acid with Oxone, has been developed. Natural products such as biscarvacrol and lacinilene C methylether could be synthesized efficiently under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, both the reaction rate and site selectivity could be further improved by the introduction of
cycloaddition reaction of 1-dimethylaminomethyl-2-naphthol and 2-dimethylaminomethyl-4,5-dimethylphenol with (un)substitutedstyrenes were investigated. 3,4-Dihydro 2-(un)substitutedphenyl-2H-benzo[f]chromenes and 2-(un)substitutedphenyl-6,7-dimethylchromans were isolated from the reaction of 1-dimethylaminomethyl-2-naphthol and 2-dimethylaminomethyl-4,5-dimethylphenol with (un)substitutedstyrenes.

Molecular iodine as an inexpensive catalyst is described in the construction of 2-substituted or 2,2-disubstituted chromans and 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrobenzopyran-2-ones via [3+3] cyclocoupling. For the synthesis of chromans, phenols and allylic alcohols were refluxed in chloroform in presence of 20 mol % I-2 while [3+3] cyclocoupling of phenols and cinnamic acids proceeded to give 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrobenzopyran-2-ones using 30 mol % I-2. Later reaction occurs via a tandem hydroarylation-esterification process at 120-130 degrees C under solvent free conditions. Chromans were obtained in 20-92% yields and substituted 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrobenzopyran-2-ones were obtained in 5-85% yields. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
