The electroreductive coupling of 2-acylbenzoates with acrylonitrile in the presence of TMSCl and successive treatment with 1 M HCl gave 2-cyanonaphthalen-1-ols or 3-(3-cyanoethyl)phthalides. On the other hand, the reaction of 2-acylbenzoates with methyl vinyl ketone under the same conditions produced 3-(3-oxobutyl)phthalides as the sole products. What determines the product selectivity was studied using DFT calculations.
在四甲基硅氯(TMSCl)存在下,2-酰基苯甲酸酯与丙烯腈进行电还原偶联反应,随后用1 M盐酸处理,得到2-氰基萘-1-醇或3-(3-氰基乙基)苯酞。另一方面,在相同条件下,2-酰基苯甲酸酯与甲基乙烯基酮反应,仅生成3-(3-氧代丁基)苯酞作为产物。使用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算研究了决定产物选择性的因素。
