Nickel-Catalyzed Synthesis of Benzocoumarins: Application to the Total Synthesis of Arnottin I
摘要:
The ring-opening addition of methyl 2,3-dimethoxy-6-iodobenzoate to oxabenzonorbornadienes followed by cyclization in the presence of NiBr2( dppe) and Zn metal powder in acetonitrile at 80 C to give the corresponding benzocoumarin derivatives is described. This methodology was then applied to the synthesis of natural product arnottin I, first isolated from Xanthoxylum arnottianum Maxim, using protecting group chemistry. After deprotection and subsequent ring closure, arnottin I was obtained in 21% overall yield after six steps starting from catechol.

The allylation of heterobicyclicalkenes is presented for the first time. By using an inexpensive cobalt salt as the catalyst and easy‐to‐handle potassium allyltrifluoroborate as the reagent, an unprecedented formal hydroallylation of the bicyclic alkenes is realized in high efficiency. When a chiral cobalt/bis(phosphine) complex is used instead, the alternative ring‐opening products can be obtained
