2,3-Disubstituted benzofurans were synthesized from acrolein dimer and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds by using N-bromosuccinimide as an oxidizing agent. The method was used to synthesize two commercial drug molecules, benzbromarone and amiodarone. The proposed mechanism of the reaction involves a N-bromosuccinimide (NBS)-assisted autotandem catalysis with Lewis acid catalyst. To proof the proposed mechanism, an intermediate was isolated successfully, which can be converted to 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzofurans.
2,3-二取代苯并呋喃是由丙烯醛二聚体和 1,3-二羰基化合物通过使用 N-溴代丁二酰亚胺作为氧化剂合成的。该方法用于合成两种商业药物分子,苯溴马隆和胺碘酮。反应的提出的机制涉及 N-溴代丁二酰亚胺(NBS)辅助的自动串联催化与路易斯酸催化剂。为了证明提出的机制,成功分离出一种中间体,它可以转化为 4,5,6,7-四氢苯并呋喃。
