Mechanistic studies on the CAN-mediated intramolecular cyclization of ?-aryl-?-dicarbonyl compounds.


ABSTRACT: The synthesis of 2-tetralones through the cyclization of ?-aryl-?-dicarbonyl substrates by using CAN is described. Appropriately functionalized aromatic substrates undergo intramolecular cyclizations generating 2-tetralone derivatives in moderate to good yields. DFT computational studies indicate that successful formation of 2-tetralones from ?-aryl-?-dicarbonyl radicals is dependent on the stability of the subsequent cyclohexadienyl radical intermediates. Furthermore, DFT computational studies were used to rationalize the observed site selectivity in the 2-tetralone products.
