Water-Promoted, Silver–Phosphine Complex–Catalyzed Stereoselective Cyclization of 2-(1-Hydroxy-3-arylprop-2-ynyl)phenols Leading to a Highly Efficient Approach to Aurones
摘要:
Silver-phosphine complexes can be utilized as highly efficient catalysts for the cyclization of 2-(1-hydroxy-3-arylprop-2-ynyl)phenols (1) to give product 2, key intermediates to synthesize aurones (4), with good yields and stereoselectivities in water-toluene mixed solvent. With fluoride as the counteranion, complete E- or Z-stereoselectivities were achieved at high temperature or room temperature, respectively. Furthermore, after removing water from the reaction mixtures, the toluene solution containing crude products 2 can be treated by MnO2 directly without further purification, to give aurones 4 in good yields.
Ligand-promoted reaction on silver nanoparticles: phosphine-promoted, silver nanoparticle-catalyzed cyclization of 2-(1-hydroxy-3-arylprop-2-ynyl)phenols
摘要:
A highly efficient annulation of 2-(1-hydroxy-3-arylprop-2-ynyl)phenols leading to the key intermediates to synthesize aurones was catalyzed by silver nanoparticles/carbon black-supported silver nanoparticles. In the presence of phosphine ligand, both the catalysts show excellent catalytic activities in the reaction and give the products with good yields as well as excellent regio- and stereo-selectivities in a water-toluene mixed solvent. Furthermore, the catalysts can be recovered and recycled effectively several times. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A highly efficient alkynylation-cyclization of terminal alkynes with salicylaldehydes leading to substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-ol derivatives was developed by using Cy3P-silver complex as catalyst in water. Counter anions in the silver complex proved to be the key factor to Z/E stereoselectivity control. Aurones can also be obtained effectively from the cascade reaction followed by oxidation without further purification.
