A Formal [3 + 3] Cycloaddition Reaction. Improved Reactivity Using α,β-Unsaturated Iminium Salts and Evidence for Reversibility of 6π-Electron Electrocyclic Ring Closure of 1-Oxatrienes
摘要:
A detailed account regarding a formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition method using 4-hydroxy-2-pyrones and 1,3-diketones is described here. This formal cycloaddition reaction or annulation reaction is synthetically useful for constructing 2H-pyranyl heterocycles. The usage of alpha,beta-unsaturated iminium salts is significant in controlling competing reaction pathways to give exclusively 2H-pyrans. Most significantly, experimental evidence is provided to support the mechanism of this reaction that involves a sequential Knoevenagel condensation and a reversible 6pi-electron electrocyclic ringclosure of 1-oxatrienes.

An efficient and general synthesis of benzopyrans is achieved by ethylenediamine diacetate-catalyzed reactions of resorcinols with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in moderated yields. As an application of this methodology, biologically interesting confluentin, which was known to have an inhibitory effect on histamine release is synthesized in onestep. Also, natural daurichromenic acid, which has highly
