Abstract
A novel photoinduced (4 + 2) annulation of o-hydroxyphenyl-substituted p-quinone methides with
diazocarbonyls, chemically initiated
by a photochemical Wolff rearrangement, is described. Remarkably,
the diastereoselectivity of this reaction can be switched by employing
either TBAB/CaH2 or H2O as an additive, establishing
an effective diastereodivergent approach to synthetically important
functionalized 4-aryl-dihydrocoumarins.
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.
