Construction of Highly-Substituted Aromatics Bearing Acyl Substituents Using Cyclobutenedione Technology: Vinylketene-Based Benzannulations Using 3-Acyl-4-(substituted amino)cyclobutenediones
摘要:
Highly-substituted acylated aromatics were efficiently synthesized from 3-acylcyclobutenediones via vinylketene-based benzannulations. Aryl and alkenyl lithiates added regioselectively to 3-acyl-4-(substituted amino)-3-cyclobutene-1,2-diones at -78 degrees C to produce the corresponding 4-aryl- and 4-alkenyl-3-(substituted amino)-2-acylcyclobutenones in good yields. Substrates lacking the vinylogous amide functionality were not preparable by this route, because the acylcyclobutenedione starting materials are not sufficiently stable to manipulate. Benzannulations of 4-(3-furyl)-, 4-(2-thienyl)-, 4-(2-dihydropyranyl)-, 4-(2-dihydrofuranyl)-, 4-(1-naphthyl)-, and 4-(2-naphthyl)substituted cyclobutenones proceeded in refluxing mesitylene to give the corresponding acyl aromatics in 80-90% yield. Of all the 4-arylcyclobutenones synthesized (aryl = phenyl and substituted phenyl), only those with an electron-donating substituent (OMe, NMe(2)) at the meta position of phenyl group underwent benzannulation in refluxing mesitylene to afford acyl aromatics in moderate yields.
Preparation of 3-acyl-3-cyclobutene-1,2-diones and some related monoacetals
摘要:
3-(Tri-n-butylstannyl)-3-cyclobutene-1,2-diones and 4-methyl-3-(tri-n-butylstannyl)-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione 2-ethylene acetal participate in palladium/copper-cocatalyzed cross-coupling with acyl halides and in palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling with aryl/heteroaryl iodides. The derived 3-acyl-3-cyclobutenediones and cyclobutenedione monoacetals should extend the potential of cyclobutenedione-based synthetic organic methodology.
