AI Article Synopsis
- Phenols can be synthesized through the reaction between furans and alkynes using specific catalysts ([AuIPr](+)A(-)).
- The process results in the formation of 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran, which undergoes a reaction leading to the creation of 2,3-disubstituted indenes.
- The catalyst involves a unique complex with an imidazol-2-ylidene and an anion component.
Article Abstract
A heart of gold: Phenols can be obtained by the intermolecular reaction of furans with alkynes by using [AuIPr](+)A(-) catalysts (see scheme). 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran also reacts via a cyclopropyl gold carbene to selectively form 2,3-disubstituted indenes. (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; A = anion.).
