Tin Mediated Allylation Reactions of Enol Ethers in Water
摘要:
Under tin-mediated Barbier-type reaction conditions, hydration of enol ethers takes place to form aldehydes that undergo allylation reactions. By using this process, various homoallylic alcohols and 2-halohomoallylic alcohols are produced in good to excellent yields.
Palladium-catalyzed oxidative difunctionalization of enol ethers with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to construct trisubstituted furans in one step under mild conditions is described. The reaction is thought to proceed through a C-C bond formation along with a C-O bond closing the ring structure. Oxygen is the sole oxidant regenerating the Pd(II) catalyst.
