Ruthenium-catalyzed sulfoalkenylation of acetanilides and dual-use of the catalyst directing group
(2021)
In contrast to vinylsulfonates and vinylsulfones, vinylsulfonamides are unreactive in Pd-catalyzed oxidative Heck-coupling reactions with acetanilides. This limitation has been resolved by using a C-H-activation protocol based on Ru-Cu-Ag-catalysis. Overall, the Ru-Cu-Ag-catalyzed conditions turned out to be more reliable and showed better reproducibility than the Pd-catalyzed C-H-activation. The coupling products thus obtained are functionalized styrenyl sulfones and -sulfonamides which can be used as starting materials for the synthesis of sulfonyl pyrroles and sulfonyl pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolines.
The reaction between propargyl ethers of hydroxybenzaldehydes and the ylide ethyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate was carried out under microwave irradiation to regioselectively afford angular pyranocoumarins. The chromene and coumarin heterocyclic scaffolds were simultaneously formed in the same synthetic step without changing the reaction conditions. The natural products seselin, braylin, and dipetalolactone were among the products synthesized by this method.
Unlike their ortho counterparts, meta- and para-acetamidoanilines can be converted into the corresponding acetamidoarenediazonium salts. These offer various opportunities for multiple Pd-catalyzed arene functionalization reactions, such as Matsuda-Heck-, Suzuki-Miyaura- or Fujiwara-Moritani couplings.
Tandem Claisen Rearrangement/6-endo Cyclization Approach to Allylated and Prenylated Chromones
(2015)
Allyl, dimethylallyl and prenyl ethers derived from o-acyl-phenols reacted upon microwave irradiation to form C-allylated or -prenylated chromone derivatives, depending on the substitution pattern of the arene and the allyl substituent. The reaction proceeds through a tandem Claisen rearrangement and 6-endo-trig or 6-endo-dig cyclization sequence. For prenyl ethers, the tandem sequence can be extended by a Cope rearrangement to furnish 6-prenylchromones. The method is potentially useful for the synthesis of natural products and drugs.
