HFIP Promoted C3 Alkylation of Lawsone and 4-Hydroxycoumarin with Alcohols by Dehydrative Cross-Coupling
摘要:
An environmentally benign system for the direct alkylation of lawsones and 4-hydroxycoumarins with alcohols in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is reported. The reaction proceeded smoothly via a dehydrative cross-coupling process by utilizing the unique properties of HFIP. A variety of alkylated products and subsequent one-pot cyclized products (pyranonaphthoquinones and pyranocoumarins) could be obtained in 40-93% yields.

coupling (CDC) reaction and subsequent cyclization of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (lawsone) and 1,3-diarylpropene promoted by DDQ has been developed. 2-Hydroxy-3-alkyl-1,4-naphthoquinones and pyranonaphthoquinones with potential pharmaceutical applications are obtained in moderate to good yields. The reaction is also compatible for 4-hydroxycoumarins.
