2,5-Disubstituted furans were synthesized by one-flask Heck arylation/oxidation sequences. The starting materials are 2-substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans, conveniently available by RCM/isomerization sequences, and arenediazonium salts. These react in ligand-free Heck reactions to afford 2,5-disub-stituted 2,5-dihydrofurans, which are oxidized to the corresponding furans without isolation or intermediate workup. The oxidation is conveniently achieved with chloranil or DDQ, depending on the substrate.
Pd-Catalyzed [2+2+1] coupling of alkynes and arenes phenol diazonium salts as mechanistic trapdoors
(2011)
Alkynes and phenol diazonium salts undergo a Pd-catalyzed [2+2+1] cyclization reaction to spiro[4,5]decatetraene-7-ones. This structure was confirmed for one example by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. The reaction is believed to proceed through oxidative addition of the phenol diazonium cation to Pd(0), subsequent insertion of two alkynes, followed by irreversible spirocyclization.
Butenolides, obtained by ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of acrylates, undergo quantitative deprotonation with amide bases. Trapping of the resulting anions with electrophiles, for example, chlorophosphates, give furans. Subsequent DielsAlder reaction and acid-catalysed rearrangement of the resulting oxabicyclonorbornadienes give substituted benzenes.
3,3'-Silylated binaphtholate tantalum and niobium complexes were shown to be efficient catalysts for the asymmetric hydroaminoalkylation of N-methylaniline derivatives and N-benzylmethylamine with simple alkenes in enantioselectivities of up to 80% ee. No hydroaminoalkylation was observed with aminoalkenes; rather, exclusive asymmetric hydroamination/cyclization took place in up to 81% ee.
A protected derivative of (3R, 4R)-hexa-1,5-diene-3,4-diol, a conveniently accessible C-2-symmetric building block, undergoes single or double cross metathesis with methyl acryl-ate. The cross metathesis products are amenable to stereoselective conjugate addition reactions and can be converted into either gamma-butyrolactones or gamma-lactams.
