Coumarins and 2-pyran derivatives are among the most commonly found structural units in natural products. Therefore, the introduction of 2-pyran moiety into the coumarin structural unit, i.e., dihydrocoumarin-fused dihydropyranones, is a potentially successful route for the identification of novel bioactive structures, and the synthesis of these structures has attracted continuing research interest. Herein, a chiral tertiary amine catalyzed [4 + 2] cyclization of 3-aroylcoumarines with benzyl 2,3-butadienoate was reported. In the presence of Kumar's 6'-(4-biphenyl)-β-iso-cinchonine, the desired dihydrocoumarin-fused dihydropyranone products could be obtained in up to 97% yield and 90% ee values.
香豆素和 2-吡喃衍生物是天然产物中最常见的结构单元之一。因此,在香豆素结构单元中引入 2-吡喃部分,即二氢香豆素-稠合二氢吡喃酮,是鉴定新型生物活性结构的潜在成功途径,这些结构的合成一直引起人们的研究兴趣。在此,报道了手性叔胺催化的 3-芳基香豆素与苄基 2,3-丁二烯酸酯的[4+2]环化反应。在库马尔 6'-(4-联苯基)-β-异奎宁的存在下,以高达 97%的收率和 90%的对映选择性得到了所需的二氢香豆素-稠合二氢吡喃酮产物。
