Au-catalyzed intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of gem-difluorinated alkynols
摘要:
The intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of gem-difluorinated alkynols was found possible under Au catalysis, allowing for the preparation of a series of fluorinated heterocycles. The nature of the solvent was found to be especially critical in the cyclization of gem-difluorohomopropargylic alcohols as it dictated whether the resulting 2,3-dihydrofuran underwent subsequent aromatization to the corresponding furan or not.

A novel synthetic method for mixed acetals (acetyl methyl acetals) by electrolysis of hemithioacetals derived from methoxy- (phenylthio)methane is newly developed. Synthetic application of these mixed acetals as an aldehyde equivalent is also demonstrated.
