Abstract
Intramolecular oxidative annulation of 5-hydroxy benzochromene via In(OTf)3 and DDQ catalysis, through an ortho-quinone methide radical intermediate, afforded various cyclobutane-containing products in good to excellent yields. This oxidative annulation pathway reveals great group tolerance and broad compatibility with benzochromene. In addition, this method exhibits an excellent ability to synthesize cyclobutane-containing products in gram-scale experiments, providing a novel approach to synthesize a series of natural products, such as cannabicyclol, isoeriobrucinol A, and ranhuadujuanine A.
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.
