Tandem Esterification/1,4-Addition-Type Friedel-Crafts Alkylation Reactions of Phenols/Naphthols with Olefinic Thioazlactones: Access to Functionalized 1,2-Dihydrobenzo[f]chromen-3-ones and 3,4-Dihydrochromen-2-ones.
An efficient approach for the synthesis of novel alkyl 2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1-aryl-1H-benzo[f]chromen-2-ylcarbamodithioates and alkyl 3,4-dihydro-2-oxo-4-aryl-2H-chromen-3-ylcarbamodithioates from 2-(alkylthio)thioazlactones (thioazlactones) and phenols or naphthols catalyzed by PTSA was developed. The reaction proceeds via a domino esterification/intramolecular 1,4-addition-type Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction to afford interesting complex molecules by a simple procedure with high yields and diastereoselectivity. An X-ray analysis was carried out to firmly establish the stereochemistry of the products.
