Sulfur-assisted domino access to bicyclic dihydrofurans: case study and early synthetic applications†
Abstract
A DDQ-mediated domino reaction (up to six steps in a single process) has been developed to selectively provide substituted dihydrofurans from a common starting material containing a cyclic bis-thioenol ether. Study of the reaction mechanism highlighted a role played by the sulfur-containing moiety in influencing reaction rate and stereoselectivity.
