Potassium ferricyanide-mediated regioselective cross-dehydrogenative coupling of catechols with 2-oxindoles and benzofuranones
Cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions of catechols offer a direct route to multi-substituted catechols. While in situ oxidation to ortho-quinones has advanced CDC reactions of catechols, controlling regioselectivity remains challenging. Herein, we present details of our investigations into the C(6)-selective CDC reaction of 4-substituted catechols with the persistent radical precursors, 2-oxindoles and benzofuranones. Our optimization studies, based on mechanistic control experiments, led to the development of a cooperative oxidation system using dissolved O2 and a sub-stoichiometric amount of K3[Fe(CN)6], which expands the substrate scope of the C(6)-selective CDC reaction of 4-substituted catechols.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
