Iodoenolcyclization of 2-Allyl Substituted b-Keto Esters under Thermodynamic Conditions
摘要:
An improved procedure for the synthesis of diastereo-enriched tetrasubstituted 4,5-dihydrofurans by using I-2-induced enolcyclization of beta-keto esters is reported. The reactions using I-2 in anhydrous MeCN are considered under thermodynamic control and the more stable trans isomers are preferentially produced.
A new route to 2-alkenyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, intermediates in the synthesis of dihydrofurans
摘要:
A two step synthetic strategy for obtaining 2-alkenyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds from the corresponding 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds is reported. The method is based on a Knoevenagel condensation and a Michael addition using a high order organocuprate procedure, and proves to be of general value, Obtained compounds are useful starting materials for the synthesis of furan derivatives, (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
