A rapid and diverse construction of 6-substituted-5,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones through double Reformatsky reaction
摘要:
A rapid and diverse synthesis of biologically important 6-substituted-5,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones through a double Reformatsky reaction of aldehydes to delta-hydroxy-beta-ketoesters followed by lactonization is described. Due to the high functional group tolerance and reaction site discrimination between aldehyde, nitrile, and ester groups in the substrate, the protocol can provide the dihydropyrones with bromo, nitro, carboxylic acid, and beta-ketoester groups, which are suitable for the further derivatizations. Furthermore, the protocol has been successfully applied to the rapid total synthesis of naturally occurring Yangonin. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
