A Short Synthesis of Delavatine A Unveils New Insights into Site-Selective Cross-Coupling of 3,5-Dibromo-2-pyrone
摘要:
The recognition of latent symmetry in delavatine A has enabled a short synthesis of the natural product starting from 3,5,dibromo-2-pyrone. The concise synthetic route features a cascade process involving a 6 pi electrocyclization to construct the indane core of delavatine A. In addition, we have conducted detailed experimental and computational studies to gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of the observed site-selective cross-coupling of 3,5-dibromo-2-pyrone. This insight may provide new avenues to achieve the selective cross-coupling of multiply halogenated heteroarenes.

C3, lower in electron density than C5, thus oxidative addition proceeds faster . When the reactions are carried out with Cu(I) in DMF or other polar aprotic solvent, however, the couplings occur predominantly at C5. The observed regiochemical reversal is attributed to the preferred formation of 5-pallado-2-pyrone intermediate which, in addition, turned out to be more reactive than 3-pallado-2-pyrone
