Enantioselective Organocatalytic Synthesis of Bicyclic Resorcinols via an Intramolecular Friedel-Crafts-Type 1,4-Addition: Access to Cannabidiol Analogues.


ABSTRACT: The organocatalytic transformation of resorcinols is extremely rare. In this article, we report a highly enantioselective, organocatalytic intramolecular cyclization of these systems by a Friedel-Crafts-type 1,4-addition using a Jørgensen-Hayashi-like organocatalyst with a large silyl protecting group, and show that heat improves reaction yield with virtually no detriment to enantioselectivity. A variety of bicyclic resorcinols were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 94%). To show the utility of these constructs, and as part of a wider project involving the synthesis of cannabinoid-like compounds, the resorcinol formed was used to generate both 'normal' and 'abnormal' cannabidiol (CBD) derivatives which were shown to have anticonvulsant activity.
