Novel ipso-Substitution of p-Sulfinylphenols through the Pummerer-Type Reaction: A Selective and Efficient Synthesis of p-Quinones and Protected p-Dihydroquinones
摘要:
The treatment of p-sulfinylphenols 3a-q with trifluoroacetic anhydride caused a Pummerer-type reaction on aromatic rings and concomitant desulfurization to give mixtures of the corresponding p-dihydroquinones 9 and p-quinones 10, which were subsequently oxidized under mild conditions to provide high yields of p-quinones 10. On the other hand, the treatment of p-(phenylsulfinyl)-phenyl ethers 6 with trifluoroacetic anhydride in the presence of styrene caused the direct ipso-substitution of the sulfinyl groups into trifluoroacetoxy groups, giving the protected dihydroquinones 14 in high yields. Both types of reactions were generally completed below room temperature within 1 h and compatible with various functional groups such as the allyl, carbonyl, ester, amide, and silyloxy groups. The preparation of the p-sulfinylphenols 3 and the silyl ethers 6 is also described through p-specific thiocyanation of phenols followed by the Grignard reaction and oxidation.

A new and very general synthesis of quinones is described from conception to the current state of maturity. The chemistry relies on a convergent joining of a transition metalcomplex and an alkyne to provide benzoquinones (from maleoylmetal complexes) and naphthoquinones (from phthaloylmetal complexes). Significant aspects of this chemistry are its generality (terminal, internal, electron rich, and

Treatment of the p-sulfinylphenol derivatives 1 and 5 with trifluoroacetic anhydride causes a Pummerer-type rearrangement on aromatic rings and concomitant desulfurization to give 1 : 1 mixtures of the corresponding p-quinones and p-dihydroquinones, which are subjected to mild oxidation to provide high yields of p-quinones 3 and 7.

The anions of 3-benzotriazolylphthalide (1) and of 2-(benzotriazolylmethyl)benzonitrile (6) condense regioselectively with a range of Michael accepters to form 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalenes 4b-f and 1-amino-2,3-di(methoxycarbonyl)naphthalene (9) in moderate to good yields.
