A concise synthetic strategy to functionalized chromenones via [5+1] heteroannulation and facile C–N/C–S/C–O bond formation with various nucleophiles
摘要:
A highly efficient strategy to 2,3-substituted chromen-4H-ones has been developed. The methodology involves unexpected intramolecular heteroannulation of readily accessible substituted 2-hydroxy-omega-nitroacetophenone with carbon disulfide in the presence K2CO3 followed by methylation with methyl iodide. These chromenones were further reacted with various nucleophiles such as amines, thiols, and alkoxide resulting in the facile C-N, C-S, and C-O bond formation. The scope and generality have been discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
