Abstract
We report the boryl radical catalyzed cycloisomerization of cyclopropenyl ketones to fully‐substituted furans, a type of highly important pharmacophore and synthetic intermediate. The reaction features neutral conditions, high yields, and toleration of variation at all possible positions of the substrate, making it an indispensable route for this type of important scaffold. Preliminary downstream transformation also revealed the synthetic potential of these furans in accessing other types of furans or more complex 3D scaffolds.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
