However, the simultaneous incorporation of a nitrile group and these functional groups on the aromatic ring is a challenging task. Herein, we report a strategy for the rapid and simultaneous construction of structurally novel benzonitrile derivatives, possessing either an <i>ortho</i>-α-iodo-β-hydroxyketone, an α,β-epoxyketone or an α,β-enone, from unprotected, 2-[(3-hydroxy/acetoxy)propyn-1-yl]benzamides. This process involves NXS-promoted dehydration–halohydration followed by DIPEA-mediated epoxide formation (from alcohols). We have developed both stepwise and one-pot strategies to improve the synthetic efficiency. No metal catalyst is employed and the method exhibits good substrate scope and yields. </p> ","PeriodicalId":501298,"journal":{"name":"Synthesis","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141718888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
