چکیده

A novel, organocatalytic and environmentally friendly protocol for the synthesis of polysubstituted tetrahydrofurans from trivial starting materials has been described. By employing 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone-mediated oxidation, which utilizes H2O2 as a green oxidant, we introduce a sustainable procedure that embraces the principles of green chemistry for the production of substituted tetrahydrofurans in high to excellent yields and tolerates a wide range of substitution patterns.

Organocatalytic multicomponent synthesis of polysubstituted pyrroles from 1,2-diones, aldehydes and arylamines.

We have developed an organocatalyzed three-component reaction of 1,2-diones, aldehydes and arylamines, which provides an efficient approach to access polysubstituted pyrroles. In the catalysis of 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid monohydrate, the reactions of a wide range of 1,2-diones, arylamines and aldehydes took place smoothly to generate the corresponding polysubstituted pyrroles in acceptable ...

Chemoselective phosphine-catalyzed cascade annulations between two different activated alkenes: highly diastereoselective syntheses of polysubstituted cyclohexanes and cyclopentenes.

Chemoselective phosphine-catalyzed cascade [2 + 2 + 2] and [2 + 2 + 1] annulations between two molecules of 2-arylmethylidene cyanoacetates or malononitriles and one molecule of α,β-unsaturated ketones have been developed. Under the nucleophilic catalysis of PPh(3) or PBu(3) (10 mol%), a highly diastereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted cyclohexanes or cyclopentenes has been successfully a...

Organocatalytic enantioselective Michael addition of cyclic hemiacetals to nitroolefins: a facile access to chiral substituted 5- and 6-membered cyclic ethers.

An efficient aminocatalytic enantioselective Michael addition of readily available cyclic hemiacetals to nitroolefins has been developed. The strategy serves as a powerful approach to synthetically valuable chiral 3-substituted tetrahydrofurans (THFs) and tetrahydropyrans (THPs). The synthetic utilities of the versatile Michael adducts also have been demonstrated in the synthesis of 2,3-disubst...

Stereodivergent Organocatalytic Intramolecular Michael Addition/Lactonization for the Asymmetric Synthesis of Substituted Dihydrobenzofurans and Tetrahydrofurans

A stereodivergent asymmetric Lewis base catalyzed Michael addition/lactonization of enone acids into substituted dihydrobenzofuran and tetrahydrofuran derivatives is reported. Commercially available (S)-(-)-tetramisole hydrochloride gives products with high syn diastereoselectivity in excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99:1 d.r.syn/anti , 99 % eesyn ), whereas using a cinchona alkaloid derived...

One-pot formation of chiral polysubstituted 3,4-dihydropyrans via a novel organocatalytic domino sequence involving alkynal self-condensation.

The self-condensation of alkynals was for the first time implemented under mild organocatalytic conditions and was successfully linked with a domino organocatalytic inverse-electron-demand oxa-Diels-Alder reaction, which led to the development of a facile one-pot method to produce a wide variety of polysubstituted chiral 3,4-dihydropyrans with good to high yields and diastereoselectivities and ...
