Solution-phase synthesis of a highly substituted furan library.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A library of furans has been synthesized by iodocyclization and further diversified by palladium-catalyzed coupling processes. The key intermediate 3-iodofurans have been prepared by the electrophilic iodocyclization of 2-iodo-2-alken-1-ones in the presence of various nucleophiles in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. These 3-iodofurans are the key components for library generation through subsequent elaboration by palladium-catalyzed processes, such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonagashira, Heck, aminocarbonylation, and carboalkoxylation chemistry to afford a diverse set of 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted furans.
