Synthesis of Highly Functionalized 9,10-Phenanthrenequinones by Oxidative Coupling Using MoCl5
摘要:
The strong oxidative power of molybdenum pentachloride gives rise to an efficient oxidative C-C bond formation of benzil derivatives to the corresponding 9,10-phenanthrenequinones. A highly complementary method to previous approaches was developed. The required derivatives are accessible in a modular fashion and in excellent yields. By this approach the orchid-derived natural product cypripediquinone A was synthesized for the first time.

Lewis acid-promoted reactions of arenes with α-chloro-α-(methylthio)acetophenones 6-8 gave the Friedal-Crafts reaction products 9, which were then treated with 3 molar eq of cupric chloride in aqueous acetone to afford the unsymmetrically substituted benzils 10.

A new sequential, tandem synthesis of functionalized α-arylnitriles via the bromination/cyanation/deformylation of substituted deoxybenzoin has developed. CuBr2-promoted bromination of substituted deoxybenzoins gives 2-bromo-2-arylacetophenne 3. The cyanation of 3 with sodium cyanide (NaCN) generates epoxynitrile. Then, a treatment of epoxynitrile with BF3·OEt2 results in the formation of functionalized

aromatic compounds from biorenewable lignin has become highly appealing nowadays. However, the development of efficientcatalysts for lignin depolymerization to high value-added chemicals is challenging. In this paper, a selective copper–N-heterocyclic carbene (copper-NHC)-catalyzed aerobic cleavage is reported for β-1 ligninmodelcompound, which represents an important family of natural wood lignin.
