Synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans via In-catalyzed propargylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds-cyclization tandem process
摘要:
An efficient method to synthesize tetrasubstituted furans using simple starting materials such as propargylic alcohols and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds has been developed. It was discovered that InCl3 could catalyze this transformation efficiently while other simple iron, copper and silver salts were proven to be ineffective. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Gold(III)-Catalyzed Propargylic Substitution Reaction Followed by Cycloisomerization for Synthesis of Poly-Substituted Furans from N-Tosylpropargyl Amines with 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds
The treatment of N-tosylpropargyl amines 1 with 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds 2 in the presence of AuBr3 (5 mol%) and AgOTf (15 mol%) afforded poly-substituted furans 3 in good-to-high yields via the gold-catalyzed cleavage of the sp3 carbon–nitrogen bond.
