One-Pot Construction of Aza- or Oxa-Bridged Benzocycloheptanes from Readily Available 2,3-Allenyl Malonates or 2,3-Allenols and o-Iodobenzaldehyde or Imine
文摘
A Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed reaction of 2,3-alkadienyl malonates or 2,3-allenols with o-iodobenzaldehyde or its N-tosyl imine occurred smoothly in MeCN at 80 掳C to form the oxa- or aza-bridged benzocycloheptane derivatives with important biological potential. With the optically active 2,3-allenols, the absolute configurations of all the three chiral centers have been conveniently established.
