TiCl4–Bu3N-mediated condensation of ketones with α,α-dimethoxyketones afforded trialkylsubstituted 2(5H)-furanones in a one-pot manner, wherein aldol addition and furanone formation occurred sequentially; its application to straightforward synthesis of (R)-mintlactone and (R)-menthofuran, two representative natural mint perfumes, is demonstrated.
TiCl4-Bu3N 介导的酮与α,α-二甲氧基酮的缩合以一锅方式得到了三烷基取代的
2(5H)-呋喃酮,其中醛醇加成和
呋喃酮的形成依次发生;展示了其在直接合成(R)-
薄荷内酯和(R)-
薄荷呋喃(两种具有代表性的天然薄荷香
水)中的应用。
