tert-Butoxide mediated cascade desulfonylation/arylation/hydrolysis of cyclic sulfonyimines using diaryliodonium salts: synthesis of diaryl ether derivatives bearing a 2-aldehyde group†
Abstract
Cascades of cyclic sulfonyimines mediated by tBuOK with diaryliodonium salts has been developed, giving the diaryl ethers in good yields. Furthermore, bulky ortho-substituted diaryl ethers with an aldehyde group can be obtained easily in comparision with metal-catalyzed protocols.
