3,4-Dihydro-2-H-pyran and oxalyl chloride react, depending on the conditions, to keto esters, a pyran-3- carboxylic acid or derivatives thereof, or to an hitherto unknown bicyclic acetal containing a vinyl chloride moiety. The structure of the latter product has been unambiguously elucidated by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. A mechanism for its formation is proposed.
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.
The first total synthesis of the natural product (3S,7R)-5,6-dehydro-de-O-methyl centrolobine and various analogues is reported, using a highly regio- and diastereoselective Mizoroki-Heck reaction of phenol diazonium salts and enantiopure dihydropyrans. The assigned relative configuration was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, but a revision of the absolute configuration is proposed based on polarimetric measurement.
The acetamide group enables regioselective oxidative ortho-C-H activation reactions, such as Pd-catalyzed acylation. The synthetic utility of these transformations can be significantly enhanced by using the acetamide as a quasi-leaving group in a subsequent conventional Pd-catalyzed coupling or cross-coupling reaction. The concept is illustrated herein for the synthesis of o-alkenyl- and o-arylphenones, which have potential for the synthesis of arylated aromatic heterocycles.
The synthesis of 7-methoxy-8-(4-methyl-3-furyl)-2H-chromen-2-one, a natural product with antileishmanial activity recently isolated from the plant Galipea panamensis, is described. The key step is a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of a furan-3-boronic acid and an 8-halocoumarin, which is advantageously synthesized using a ring-closing metathesis reaction. Several non-natural analogues are also available along these lines.
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.
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.
