The -butyl amide group, CONHBu, has been found to be an effective promoter of the [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement of aryl benzyl ethers and thus allow the two-step synthesis of isomerically pure substituted diarylmethanols starting from simple hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. The method is compatible with a wide range of functional groups including methyl, methoxy, and fluoro, although not with nitro and, unexpectedly, is applicable to as well as and isomeric series.
已发现丁基酰胺基团CONHBu是芳基苄基醚[1,2]-维蒂希重排的有效促进剂,因此可从简单的羟基苯甲酸衍生物出发,通过两步合成得到异构体纯的取代二芳基甲醇。该方法与包括甲基、甲氧基和氟在内的多种官能团兼容,尽管与硝基不兼容,而且出乎意料的是,它适用于以及和异构体系列。
