Domino alkylation/oxa-Michael of 1,3-cyclohexanediones: Steering the C/O-chemoselectivity to reach tetrahydrobenzofuranones

Abstract

An unprecedented domino synthesis of tetrahydrobenzofuran-4-ones is described implicating chemoselective alkylation of various 1,3-cyclohexanediones with bromocrotonate or crotonitrile followed by oxa-Michael cyclization. Further transformations of this core to reach molecular diversity are also presented.
