Base-induced photorearrangements from 3-styrylfurans to 2-methylnaphthalenes
摘要:
Irradiation of 3-(4-substituted styryl)furans in basic media yielded a series of 7-substituted-2-methylnaphthalenes, including methoxy, isopropyl, ethyl, methyl, fluoro, and cyano substituents. This base-induced photorearrangement involves cis-trans photoisomerization, 6e photocyclization, base-induced elimination, and a Norrish Type I photoreaction and is a novel method to synthesize unsymmetrical 2,7-disubstituted naphthalenes.
