Sixteen 5-(4'-alkoxybiphenyl-4-yloxy)-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones are synthesized via the direct dehydrative etherification reactions of 4'-alkoxybiphenyl-4-ol with mucochloric acid and mucobromic acid, respectively, using sulfuric acid as catalyst at reflux in toluene from 30% to 58% yields (mostly over 47%). The moderate yields may be due to that this acid-catalyzed etherification should be a S N 2 nucleophilic substitution reaction. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds are elucidated and confirmed by FTIR, UV, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and elemental analysis. The synthetic procedures afford not only an important strategy for the synthesis of 2(5H)-furanone derivatives having potential bioactivity, but also a simple method for the synthesis of aromatic ether from two different hydroxyl compounds.
Two novel 5-biphenyloxy-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones are synthesized via the direct dehydrative etherification reactions of biphenyl-4-ol with mucochloric acid and mucobromic acid, respectively, using sulfuric acid as a catalyst in toluene at reflux temperature. Taking them as intermediates, the tandem Michael addition-elimination reaction with different representative aliphatic amines is carried out in the presence of KF as a base and catalyst at room temperature. Sixteen 4-amino-5-biphenyloxy-3-halo-2(5H)-furanones are obtained, and the isolated yields are 43%~79% (mostly over 55%). The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were systematically characterized by FTIR, UV, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. This investigation affords an important novel strategy for the synthesis of different 2(5H)-furanone derivatives having potential bioactivity, especially for the synthesis of 2(5H)-furanones simultaneously with biphenyl and amino structure.
