Rapid Assembly of Functionalized Hydrodibenzofurans via Semipinacol Rearrangements
摘要:
A distinct strategy via unprecedented semipinacol rearrangements for the synthesis of functionalized hydrodibenzofurans is reported. The versatile reactivity of benzofuran-3-one as a building block enabled the convergent coupling of simple starting materials and, thus, allowed for the facile variation of R group and the construction of hydrodibenzofurans with fused rings.
Unexpected Migration and Oxidative Cyclization of Substituted 2-Acetophenone Triflates under Basic Conditions: Synthetic and Mechanistic Insights
摘要:
Oxidative ring closure of alkyl-substituted 2-hydroxyacetophenone trifluoromethanesulfonate esters (triflates) occurs upon exposure to base in anaerobic DMF at 20-90 degreesC. Alkyl substitution is required for ring closure. A migrated enol triflate product forms at lower temperature in high yield via migration of the trifluoromethanesulfonate in the unsubstituted and monoalkyl-substituted cases. The alkyl-substituted enol triflates also enter into the benzofuran-3-one ring-forming process under thermal cyclization conditions. Potential mechanistic pathways are evaluated.
