New Carbanionic Access to 3-Vinylindoles and 3-Vinylbenzofurans
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A simple route to 3-vinylbenzofurans, 3-vinyifuropyridines, and 3-vinylindoles from readily accessible acetylenic precursors is described. A standard halogen-lithium exchange triggers an irreversible! addition on the triple bond, according to a 5-exo-dig heterocyclization process, followed by a lithium ethoxide elimination. A final isomerization of the exocyclic allene provides a 1,3-dienic system that can react with acrylates, in thermal or hyperbaric conditions, to provide the expected [4+2] cycloadducts.

Carbonickelations of alkynes and functionalization of the resulting vinylnickel moiety have been performed efficiently in a nickel‐catalyzed domino cyclization–condensation process. This reaction, which does not require the preparation of any other organometallic reagent, proceeds only by exo‐dig cyclization. This convenient and mild method constitutes a one‐pot synthesis of substituted dihydrobenzofurans
Reaction of Ni(0) in the presence of iodoarylethers 1 leads, after syn intramolecular carbonickelation of the triple bond, to nucleophilic vinylnickels which can be trapped, in a tandem process, by various electrophiles introduced at the onset of the reaction.
