Facile Total Synthesis of Benzo[b]furan Natural Product XH-14
摘要:
An efficient and practical total synthesis of benzo[b]furan natural product XH-14 is demonstrated in nine steps from vanillin. Introduction of iodide substituents in the reaction including optimization of the reaction sequences is essential for the successful synthesis of XH-14. Sonogashira coupling with iodobenzene, iodine-induced cyclization, Wittig reaction, and formylation are critical in the high-yield total synthesis of XH-14.
