Abstract

En 中文
Herein, we report an approach for the selective construction of 2-oxaspiro[5.5]undecan-9-ones as well as 3,3-diaryl allylic alcohols by employing propargyl-benzyl ethers in N-halosuccinimide-water (NXS-H2O) system. This methodology shows a broad substrate scope for propargyl-benzyl ethers, resulting in a selective construction of a structurally divergent library of 2-oxaspiro[5.5]undecan-9-ones, when employed (2:1) CH3CN: H2O and NXS reagents. Further, it was extended for the construction of bis-spiro systems as well. By tuning the conditions to (50:1) CH3CN: H2O, we could also selectively promote the migration of e-rich arenes to obtain the corresponding 3,3-diarylallylic alcohols. In the case of trimethoxy-arene (migrating group), a selective formation of benzo[c]oxepanes was observed via an intramolecular iodo-cyclization through 7-endo-dig fashion.
