Article Abstract

An efficient synthetic method for the preparation of multisubstituted furans, thiophenes, and pyrroles using ynolates was developed. This novel formal [4 + 1] annulation by C2-C3 and C3-C4 bond formations includes cycloaddition, cyclization, decarboxylation, and dehydration as key steps.

The catalytic indirect reductive quenching method is facilitated by a combination of Ir(III) photoredox and sulfide dual-catalysis system. This study demonstrated a method for synthesizing multi-substituted furans by using a photoredox/sulfide dual-catalysis system. This method enables the synthesis of various furan derivatives, including spirofurans and phthalans.

Copper-Catalyzed Regioselective Annulation of β-Keto Esters and Propargyl Acetates: Access to Polysubstituted Furans.

J Org Chem

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Functions and Applications of Medicinal Plants, Guizhou Medical University, 3491 Gaohai Road, Guiyang 550014, P. R. China.

A copper-catalyzed regioselective annulation reaction, conducted without ligands or oxidants, has been developed for the preparation of multisubstituted furans from the readily available starting materials, β-keto esters and propargyl acetates. This process accommodates a wide range of functional groups, resulting in furan skeletons with diverse substitution patterns. The method's potential synthetic utility is highlighted by its applicability in gram-scale preparations and late-stage modifications of natural products.

Manganese-Promoted Cyclization Reaction of Enynones with Tetrasulfides: Synthesis of Multisubstituted Furanmethyl Disulfides.

J Org Chem

September 2024

Key Laboratory of Organic Synthesis of Jiangsu Province, College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science & Collaborative Innovation Center of Suzhou Nano Science and Technology, Soochow University, Suzhou 215123, PR China.

A tandem cyclization reaction of enynones with tetrasulfides has been developed under manganese-promoted conditions, leading to the high-yield formation of various furanmethyl disulfides. This reaction is characterized by readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and a broad substrate scope, making it attractive and practical. It provides a new strategy for the synthesis of disulfide-containing functionalized furans.

Multisubstituted furans occupy a pivotal position within the realms of synthetic chemistry and pharmacological science due to their distinctive chemical configurations and inherent properties. We herein introduce a tandem difunctionalization protocol of alcohols for the efficient synthesis of multisubstituted 2,3-dihydrofurans and γ-butyrolactones through the combination of photocatalysis and iron catalysis under mild conditions. Photoredox alcohol α-C(sp)-H activation and Pinner-type intramolecular cyclization are two key processes.

The effective and mild [4+1] annulation of ninhydrin-derived MBH carbonates with α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed, providing a wide range of multisubstituted furans in high yields (up to 90%) with excellent β-regioselectivities. In contrast, the polysubstituted cyclopentenes bearing dispiro-bisindanedione motifs were obtained classical [3+2] annulations by employing ninhydrin-derived MBH carbonates with 2-arylidene-1,3-indandiones under the same catalytic conditions. Furthermore, the structures of two kinds of cycloadducts were straightforwardly confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis.
