Transition-metal-free synthesis of chalcogenated furans through the sequential thiol-Michael/Paal-Knorr reaction of 1,4-enediones in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid has been developed. The present one-pot strategy involves the thiol Michael addition to 1,4-enediones in an anti-Markovnikov fashion with the formation of a new C-S bond, followed by intramolecular dehydrative annulation in the presence of cat. TsOH delivering fully substituted furans in good to excellent yields (50-99%). The reaction is compatible with a wide range of substrates and also capable of multi-gram scale synthesis of chalcogenated furans.
在催化量的对甲苯磺酸存在下,通过 1,4-烯二酮的顺序硫醇迈克尔/Paal-Knorr 反应,实现了无过渡金属合成硫代呋喃。本一锅法策略涉及硫醇迈克尔加成到 1,4-烯二酮中,以反 Markovnikov 方式形成新的 C-S 键,然后在 cat. TsOH 的存在下进行分子内脱水环化,以良好至优异的收率(50-99%)得到完全取代的呋喃。该反应与广泛的底物兼容,也能够进行多克规模的硫代呋喃合成。
