[2+2+1+1] Cycloaddition for de novo Synthesis of Densely Functionalized Phenols

  • General Chemistry
  • Catalysis

AbstractA unique benzannulation strategy for regioselective de novo synthesis of densely functionalized phenols is described. Through metal‐mediated formal [2+2+1+1] cycloaddition of two different alkynes and two molecules of CO, a series of densely functionalized phenols were obtained. The benzannulation strategy allows efficient regioselective installation up to five different substituents on a phenol ring. The resulting phenols have a substitution pattern different from those obtained from Dötz and Danheiser benzannulations.
