2-Bromo-6-(chlorodiisopropylsilyl)phenyl tosylate as an efficient platform for intramolecular benzyne–diene [4 + 2] cycloaddition. Issue 13 (6th March 2019) - Nishii, Arata
Abstract : An intramolecular benzyne–diene [4 + 2] cycloaddition with broad substrate scope has been realized by using a cleavable silicon tether, allowing access to various polycyclic structures. Abstract : An intramolecular benzyne–diene [4 + 2] cycloaddition with broad substrate scope has been realized by using a cleavable silicon tether, allowing access to various polycyclic structures. 2-Bromo-6-(chlorodiisopropylsilyl)phenyl tosylate serves as an efficient platform for (1) rapid attachment of various arynophiles to the benzyne precursor via a Si–O bond and (2) facile generation of benzyne via halogen–metal exchange with Ph3 MgLi.
