Substituent Effects in the Intramolecular Diels−Alder Reaction of 6-Furylhexenoates
摘要:
The series of furyl enone esters, 4a-c, were synthesized from furan or furfural by straightforward routes. Their thermal intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions to give the tricyclic ketones 5a-c were studied in acetonitrile and toluene at two temperatures and the kinetics of the reactions determined. A comparison of these data with that obtained for the corresponding esters 2 to give the lactones 3 indicates that the rate enhancements seen for the esters (rate of dimethyl 310 times that of monomethyl) are much larger than those seen for the ketones (rate of dimethyl 6.8 times that of monomethyl). Thus, this is additional evidence for the earlier hypothesis that the presence of the oxygen atom in the tether is a factor responsible for the larger than normal rate enhancements.
