Popis: | Furans and pyrroles are important synthons in chemical synthesis and are commonly found in natural products, pharmaceutical agents, and materials. Introduced herein are three methods to prepare 2-substituted 3-furfurals starting from 3-furfural, 3-bromofuran, and 3-vinylfurans. Addition of a variety of organolithium, Grignard, and organozinc reagents (M-R) to 3-furfural provides 3-furyl alcohols in high yields. Treatment of these intermediates with NBS initiates a novel oxidative rearrangement that results in the installation of the R group in the 2 position of the 2-substituted 3-furfurals. Likewise, metalation of 3-bromofuran with n-BuLi and addition to benzaldehyde provides a furyl alcohol that is converted to 2-phenyl 3-furfural upon oxidative rearrangement. Enantioenriched disubstituted furans can be prepared starting with the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of 3-vinylfurans. The resulting enantioenriched diols undergo the oxidative rearrangement to furnish enantioenriched 2-substituted 3-furfur... |
