Oxidative cyclisation of 2′-hydroxychalcones to aurones using mercury(II) acetate in dimethyl sulphoxide

Abstract

In dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) solution, 2′-hydroxychalones react stereospecifically with mercury(II) acetate to give cyclic oxymercuration adducts (coumaranones) which are converted cleanly into (Z)-aurones by an E2-type oxidative-demercuration process.
