A new method for the synthesis of 5-substituted furan-3-carboxylates from Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates of acetylenic aldehydes is reported. The process involves palladium-catalyzed isomerization followed by base-promoted deacetylation and cycloisomerization reactions. The utility of this chemistry is further demonstrated by the synthesis of Elliott's alcohol, a key intermediate of the pyrethroid resmethrins.
报道了一种从炔基醛的 Morita-Baylis-Hillman 乙酸酯合成 5-取代呋喃-3-羧酸酯的新方法。该过程涉及钯催化的异构化,然后是碱促进的脱乙酰化和环化异构化反应。该化学的实用性进一步通过合成 Elliott 醇得到证明,Elliott 醇是拟除虫菊酯 resmethrins 的关键中间体。
