Rh(I)-Catalyzed [4+2]-annulation of furan-fused cyclobutanones with alkynes and synthetic applications
Fully-substituted aromatic skeletons have received increasing interest from the synthetic chemistry, pharmaceutical and material sciences. However, diversity-oriented construction of these molecules remains challenging due to the lack of effective synthetic building blocks. Herein, we report a Rh(I)-catalyzed [4+2]-annulation reaction of alkynes with furan-fused cyclobutanones (FCBs) for the expeditious assembly of fully-substituted o-quinone methide (o-QM) precursors containing a furan-fused motif under mild conditions. These products could be served a practical and robust synthon for the synthesis of fully-substituted phenols with broad functional group compatibility. Preliminary antitumor activity study indicates that compounds 3d and 5f exhibit high anticancer potency against breast cancer cells (MCF-7 cells, IC50 = 1.87 ± 0.33 μM) and colon cancer cells (HCT-116 cells, IC50 = 1.35 ± 0.15 μM), respectively.
