Synthesis of 2,5-Dihydrofuran-Fused Quinones from Ether-Tethered Diiododiyne
摘要:
Biologically interesting 2,5-dihydrofuran-fused quinones were synthesized via the ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of an ether-tethered diiododiyne with alkynes, copper-catalyzed Ullmann coupling of the resultant fused p-diiodobenzenes with methanol or allyl alcohol, and subsequent oxidation of phenol derivatives. The double Claisen rearrangement of the bis(allyl) ether product furnished a diallylhydroquinone derivative, which underwent iron-catalyzed oxidation, ring-closing metathesis, and dehydrogenation to deliver 1,3-dihydronaphtho[2,3-c]furan-4,9-dione.
