Microwave-assisted Claisen rearrangement of naphthyl 2-propynyl ethers: synthesis of naphthofurans
摘要:
An efficient two-step approach for the synthesis of naphtho[1,2-b]furans and naphtho[2,1-b]furans has been developed. Various functionalized propargyl alcohols were etherified with alpha- or beta-naphthol under Mitsunobu reaction conditions to give naphthyl 2-propynyl ethers, which underwent a facile microwave-assisted Claisen rearrangement and concomitant anionic cyclization to yield naphthofuran derivatives under basic reaction conditions.

eye: A simple and efficient protocol for the synthesis of benzofuran and naphthofuran derivatives catalyzed by indium triflate was developed by coupling α,β‐unsaturated nitroalkenes with phenol/naphthols. The present method provides arenofuran derivatives in one pot from readily available starting materials (DCE=1,2‐dichloroethane; see scheme).

A facile and efficient approach has been established for the synthesis of benzoindole and naphthofuran derivatives via the metal-free cyclization reaction of nitroolefins with naphthylamines/naphthols. Various substituted benzoindoles and naphthofurans are obtained in good to excellent yields. Moreover, the ability to recycle the carbonaceous material makes this method quite cost-effective and environmentally
