An unprecedented DDQ-mediated oxidative aromatization of 2-bezylidene-dihydrofurans yielding 2-alkenyl-furans is disclosed. Integration of this transformation with a prior Pd-catalyzed reaction of α-propargylic-β-ketoesters and (hetero)aryl halides into a one-pot cascade process opens a direct modular route to highly substituted 2-vinyl-furans. Experimental and computational studies reveal that the crucial step of the oxidative-aromatization involves facile hydride transfer from the dihydrofuran ring to the O-center of DDQ.
本文公开了一种前所未有的由2-苄叉基二氢呋喃经DDQ介导的氧化芳构化反应生成2-烯基呋喃的方法。将该转化与先前α-炔丙基-β-酮酯与(杂)芳基卤化物的钯催化反应整合为一锅串联反应,为高取代的2-乙烯基呋喃开辟了一条直接的模块化合成路线。实验和计算研究表明,氧化芳构化的关键步骤涉及二氢呋喃环向DDQ的O中心的便捷氢化物转移。
