Abstract
A straightforward synthesis of α-oxoketene N,X-acetals (X = O, S, or N) from β-oxoamides has been described. The oxyphosphonium intermediates are quickly generated in situ from β-oxoamides in the presence of Hendrickson reagent and triflic anhydride (Tf2O) in a chemoselective manner and undergo a chemoselective nucleophilic substitution with phenols, thiophenols, or aromatic amines to deliver the desired products with high stereoselectivity. The one-pot synthetic protocol features readily available starting materials, mild conditions, simple execution, and a wide range of synthetic potentials of the products.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
