Simple and efficient synthesis of benzofuran derivatives from tyrosol
摘要:
A convenient strategy for the preparation of compounds bearing the benzofuran skeleton starting from tyrosol, a phenol largely present in olive oil production waste, with no biological importance, is reported. A bromination/methoxylation sequence, already described for the synthetic transformation of naturally occurring compounds, was exploited. Depending on the solvent used for the methoxylation reaction together with the presence of a 4-phenol moiety respect to the side chain, benzodihydrofurans or a benzofurans derivative can be obtained.

numerous natural products. As an illustration of the potential of this transformation, total syntheses of compounds belonging to the Amaryllidaceae alkaloids family such as O-methyljoubertiamine, mesembrine, and its natural derivative the dihydro-O-methylsceletenone have been achieved in eight/nine steps. The synthetic route to these molecules features a novel and efficient transformation on the basis
A strategy for the synthesis of ubiquinones, in which iridol is the key intermediate, has been developed, together with a newconvenientsynthesis of iridol (2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylphenol) starting from the easily available 4-methylphenol and using mild conditions and friendly and high-yielding reactions.

of 2,5-cyclohexadienones tethered to activated methylene groups was studied. The substitution around the cyclohexadienone ring serves to regioselectively direct these cyclizations based primarily on electronic effects. In the case of brominated substrates, these reactions proceed to give highly unusual electron-deficient tricyclic cyclopropanes. By using a Cinchona alkaloid-based phase-transfer catalyst
