New Synthesis of Tetrahydrobenzodifurans by Iterative Coupling of Quinone Monoacetals with Alkene Nucleophiles
摘要:
A new efficient synthetic strategy of tetrahydrobenzodifurans has been developed by the repetitive [3+2] couplings of quinone monoacetals with alkene nucleophiles. Both the symmetrical and unsymmetrical tetrahydrobenzodifurans can be easily synthesized by this continuous method by altering the type of alkenes. These tetrahydrobenzodifurans have also become a useful precursor of highly-substituted benzofurans by dehydrogenation.

A practical and modular three-component alkene oxyarylation with benzoquinone and H2O to rapidly access C-3-substituted dihydrobenzofurans has been developed. The (NH4)(2)S2O8-mediated redox-relay process has an excellent regioselectivity and functional group tolerance and exhibits a broad scope of simple alkenes, rapidly furnishing a variety of the substructures that would require multiple steps to prepare with traditional methods. Mechanistic studies revealed a dual role of benzoquinone serving as both the arylation agent and the origin of dihydroquinone for the reductive cyclization step.
