A novel and highly efficient synthesis of 3-methyleneisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one and the corresponding derivatives was reported. The new method was characterized with raw material easy to get, low manufacturing cost, mild reaction conditions and high yields. 2-Methylbenzoic acid and their derivatives were used as starting material, methyl 2-((bromotri-phenylphosphoranyl)methyl)benzoate and their derivatives were synthesized through esterification, free-radical bromination with N-bromobutanimide (NBS) and nucleophilic substitution with triphenylphosphine. After Wittig reaction and hydrolysis of carboxylic esters, 2-vinylbenzoic acid and their derivatives were obtained. Then through cyclization reaction with iodine (NBS), 3-iodo(bromo)methylisobenzofuran-1(3H)-one and their derivatives were obtained, which further react by elimination hydrogen halide with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]under-7-ene to afford the target compounds. Eleven intermediates were new compounds.
An efficient and simple method for the synthesis of chiral benzo[5,6][1,3]oxazino[4,3-c]quinoxaline-dione is reported. 2-Hydroxybenzaldehydes and diamines were utilized as the starting materials, the formed diimines then underwent a reductive-cyclization process with triphosgene to give bis-quinazoline-dione derivatives induced by low-valent titanium reagent. Then through the conversion of functional groups, the bis-quinazoline-dione compounds containing hydroxy group have been obtained from their corresponding compounds containing methoxy group in the presence of BBr 3. In addition, the dihydroxy-bis-quinazoline-dione derivatives were applied on the asymmetric nucleophilic addition of Et2Zn to aldehydes. The reported method is the efficient approach for the synthesis of dihydroxy-bis-quinazoline-dione derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
