AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method for [4+3] cycloaddition using ortho-hydroxybenzyl alcohols and N,N'-cyclic azomethine imines has been developed with Brønsted acid catalysis.
  • This technique successfully produces valuable seven-membered heterocyclic compounds.
  • The results show high efficiency with yields reaching up to 92% and excellent diastereoselectivity, often exceeding a 95:5 ratio.

Article Abstract

The first [4+3] cycloaddition of ortho-hydroxybenzyl alcohols has been established by making use of N,N'-cyclic azomethine imines as suitable 1,3-dipoles under Brønsted acid catalysis. By using this strategy, biologically important seven-membered heterocyclic scaffolds have been constructed in good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities (up to 92% yield, most >95 : 5 dr).
