A bis(amino)cyclopropenylidene-catalyzed direct method for the synthesis of α,α'-diarylated ketones from aromatic as well as heteroaromatic aldehydes has been developed. This unprecedented organocatalytic protocol offers access to a wide range of α,α'-diarylated ketones in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions through umpolung of aldehydes followed by 1,6-conjugate addition with para-quinone methides.
已开发出一种双(氨基)环丙烯叉催化的从芳香醛以及杂芳醛直接合成α,α'-二芳基酮的直接方法。这种前所未有的有机催化方案通过醛的反转以及与对醌甲醚的 1,6-共轭加成,在温和条件下以中等至优异的收率提供了广泛的α,α'-二芳基酮。
