A protocol by which ketone or ester enolates and ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) are generated in situ in a single reaction flask from silylated precursors under the action of anhydrous fluoride is reported. The reaction partners are joined to give a variety of β-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-carbonyl compounds in 32-94% yield in a single laboratory operation. The intermediacy of o-QMs is supported by control experiments utilizing enolate precursors and conventional alkyl halides as competitive alkylating agents and the isolation of 1,5-dicarbonyl products resulting from conjugate additions that do not restore the aromatic system.
报道了一种在无水氟化物作用下,从硅烷基化前体在单个反应烧瓶中原位生成酮或酯烯醇盐和邻醌甲基化物(o-QMs)的方案。在单一实验室操作中,反应伙伴结合生成各种β-(2-羟基苯基)-羰基化合物,产率为32-94%。利用烯醇盐前体和传统卤代烷作为竞争性烷基化剂的对照实验以及未恢复芳环体系的共轭加成产生的1,5-二羰基产物的分离,支持了o-QMs的中间体性质。
