Synthesis of phthalides from bis-propargyl ethers: use of Garratt–Braverman cyclization to construct the phthalans and IBX as a new reagent for subsequent oxidation
摘要:
An efficient route to phthalides is described starting from easily available bis-propargyl ethers. The method involves Garratt-Braverman cyclization of the ethers to phthalans which are then efficiently oxidized to the phthalides by iodoxy benzoic acid (IBX) which has been shown to be a superior reagent in terms of yield and reagent stoichiometry for such a transformation in comparison with more commonly used KMnO4/CuSO4 reagent.

Second-generation Grubbs’ catalyst and Hoveyda-Grubbs’ catalyst are able to catalyze both crossed [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of diynes with alkynes and di- or trimerizations of diynes. Selection of the reaction conditions allows us to favor one particular process. The process is selective when applied to unsymmetric diynes.

Propiolates cyclotrimerize in the presence of catalytic amounts of gold nanoparticles to give aryl benzoates in high yields and with turnover frequencies of thousands per hour. Types of alkynes other than propiolates do not react, and, if molecular oxygen is present and dissociated by the gold nanoparticles, electron-rich arenes engage with the propiolate to form a new C-C bond. The activation of propiolates and electron-rich arenes to form C-C bonds, beyond gold-catalyzed Michael additions, constitutes a new example of how and where gold nanoparticles modify the electronic density of unsaturated C-C bonds and opens the door to future transformations.

A rhodium-catalyzed cycloisomerization and oxidation of tethered dienynes for the synthesis of indanes is described. An auxiliary fragmentation/olefination method (also described herein) provides novel access to tethered alkyne-dienoate substrates. The reported method circumvents current limitations in and expands the scope of inverse-demand Diels–Alder-type cycloadditions. Traditional discovery substrates
