Highly Chemoselective Esterification Reactions and Boc/THP/TBDMS Discriminating Deprotections under Samarium(III) Catalysis
摘要:
The usefulness of SmCl(3) as an excellent catalyst for chemoselective esterifications and selective removal of acid sensitive protecting groups such as Boc, THP, and TBDMS in the presence of one another is demonstrated through suitable examples.
A novel reaction pathway involving 1,3-diketones and 2,2′-dithiodibenzoylchloride that gives access to benzothiophenes with spiroketal, lactone, carbonyl, hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functionalities is discussed.
