Manganese(III)-mediated carbon-carbon bond formation in the reaction of xanthenes with active methylene compounds
摘要:
Oxidation of xanthenes with manganese(III) acetate in the presence of active methylene compounds such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, malononitrile derivatives, acetone, and nitromethane selectively gives 9-substituted xanthene derivatives in good yields. A similar oxidation of thioxanthene also yields 2-(9-thioxanthenyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in 57-91% yields. The obtained 2-(9-xanthenyl)-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are readily converted to 2-(9-xanthenylidene)-1,3-dicarbonyl derivatives using manganese(III) complexes or 2,3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone. The mechanisms for the formation of 9-substituted xanthenes are discussed on the basis of the reaction of intermediates, the electron-donating substituent effect on the xanthene ring system, effect of additives, and comparison with a reaction of radical-trapping reagents.

diacetylmethylene derivatives which were further oxidized. It was found that this direct diacetylmethylation was effective when the ionization potential of the aromatic compound was lower than 8.12 eV, and that the diacetylmethyl radical which was generated directly by the thermolysis of tris(2,4-pentanedionato)manganese(III) has an electrophilic nature based on the result of the oxidation of substituted
