Article: NH4OAc promoted cyclocondensation of 3-(o-allylphenyl)pentane-1,5-diones: synthesis of tetracyclic benzofused 1-azahomoisotwistanes.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A facile two-step synthetic route for preparing the novel tetracyclic skeleton of benzofused 2,6-diaryl-1-azahomoisotwistanes 2 had been developed. The route was carried out by a one-pot tandem cross-coupling reaction of o-allylbenzaldehydes 1 with aryl methyl ketones 3, and NH(4)OAc mediated the cascade cyclocondensation reaction of the resulting 1,5-diketones 4 with the 3-o-allylphenyl group in good yield in two steps.Organic Letters 07/2012; 14(15):3936-9. · 5.86 Impact Factor -
Article: Polyphosphoric acid promoted synthesis of 10,11-dihydrobenzo[j]fluoranthen-12-one.

ABSTRACT: A straightforward synthesis of 3,8-dimethoxy-10,11-dihydrobenzo[j]fluoranthen-12-ones 1 is reported in a seven-step route from biphenyl-4,4'-diol 2 via the transformation of a double Claisen rearrangement, cross metathesis with ethyl acrylate, and polyphosphoric acid (PPA)-promoted Friedel-Crafts electrophilic benzannulation in good yields.Organic Letters 04/2012; 14(9):2198-201. · 5.86 Impact Factor
