An efficient transformation of dibenzoxaborins to dibenzofurans by deborylative ring contraction was achieved under mild conditions using a copper catalyst. The method showed a broad substrate scope enabling the preparation of various dibenzofurans, including those bearing a functional group. The ready availability of various dibenzoxaborins enhances the utility of this method, as demonstrated by the regiodivergent synthesis of dibenzofurans.
在温和条件下,使用铜催化剂可以有效地将二苯并硼杂环戊二烯转化为二苯并呋喃,实现脱硼环收缩。该方法具有广泛的底物范围,可制备各种二苯并呋喃,包括带有官能团的二苯并呋喃。各种二苯并硼杂环戊二烯的易得性增强了该方法的实用性,如通过区域发散合成二苯并呋喃所示。
