Gold catalyzed carbocyclization of phenyl substituted allylic acetates to synthesize benzocycle derivatives
摘要:
An efficient and environmentally benign method was developed to synthesize the benzocycles from phenyl substituted allylic acetates through gold catalyzed Friedel-Crafts type carbocyclization reaction. Different substitution patterns were investigated, which gave a series of benzocyclohexane derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
