A Mild and Efficient Route to 3-Vinylchromones in Aqueous Micellar Media
摘要:
A simple, mild, and ecofriendly method has been developed for the synthesis of 3-vinylchromones from 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde (3-formylchromone) by simple Knoevenagel condensation with various active methylene compounds (AMC) in aqueous micellar media in the presence of catalytic amounts of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). In the case of malonic acid as AMC, the reaction resulted in formation of only Doebner decarboxylated products under the standard reaction condition. It has been also observed that 3-formylchromone derivatives primarily undergo tandem Knoevenagel and Michael reactions in the presence of >2 equiv. of ethyl acetoacetate to produce benzophenone derivatives, by opening of pyran ring, as the sole product in good yields.

A base-promoted one-pot tandemreaction sequence has been developed to transform electron-deficient chromone-fused dienes 1 and 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds 2 to functionalized 2-hydroxybenzophenones 3 under mild conditions. This domino process, which involves multiple reactions, including Michael addition/cyclization/elimination, serves as an efficient, economic, and eco-friendly method for the construction
