A convergent synthesis of the title benzils, which embody the 1,2‐diarylethane‐1,2‐dione system, is reported. Key steps involve intramolecular cyclization of the carbanion at the benzylic position of the arylbenzyl ether to the adjacent ester group followed by oxidation. The palladium(II)‐catalyzed oxidative cyclization was also studied to establish the benzofuran unit of calophione A.
据报道,标题为1,2-二芳基乙烷-1,2-二酮体系的苯甲醚的合成方法有所收敛。关键步骤涉及在芳基苄基醚的苄基位置上的碳负离子分子内环化至相邻的酯基,然后氧化。还研究了钯(II)催化的氧化环化反应以建立Calophione A的苯并呋喃单元。
