Relay rhodium(I)/Brønsted acid catalysis for tandem arylation−cyclization reaction was developed. Chemodivergent syntheses of benzo-2H-pyrans and benzofurans from propargyl alcohols and ortho-hydroxylated arylboronic acids were achieved under this relay catalysis system. An ortho-hydroxy effect on changing the chemoselectivity and reactivity was observed.
Picosecond to submillisecond photochromic reactions of 2,4-diphenyl-2H-benzopyran and 2,2,4-triphenyl2H-benzopyran have been investigated by time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. The C-O bond cleavage of the benzopyrans (closed forms) occurs via the first excited singlet state within 2 ps to produce vibrationally excited open forms in the ground electronic state. In the subnanosecond to submillisecond time domain, several decay components with almost the same spectral profiles are observed. These components are assigned to respective stereoisomers with respect to two double bonds and one single bond of the open enone forms. From the pump-laser power dependencies of the yields of the open forms, it is suggested that the photocleavage gives at first only the open forms revertible to the closed form by a single-bond rotation, and that the photoexcitation of the first generated open forms gives rise to other open forms which need a double-bond rotation for reversion to the closed form. The photochromic reactions of a series of 2H-benzopyrans bearing substituents on the pyran ring have also been studied using nanosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. The size of a substituent in the 4-position fairly affects the rate constants of the thermal reversion of the open form to the closed form.
