Dihydrofurocoumarin and dihydrofurodihydropyrid-2-one derivatives via palladium catalysed cascades involving aryl/heteroaryl/vinyl iodides and allene followed by acid catalysed cyclisation

摘要

Mono 3-(2'-arylallyl) derivatives of 4-hydroxycoumarin 1a,b, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-pyran-2-one (3) and 6-hydroxy-1,4-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyrid-2-one-3-carbonitrile (4) are produced in 3-component cascades involving aryl/heteroaryl/vinyl iodides and allene (1 atm) using Pd(PPh3)(4)/CS2CO3/MeCN/80degreesC or Pd-2(dba)(3)/tris(2-furyl)phosphine/K2CO3/DMF/80degreesC as the catalyst system. 4-Hydroxy-2-quinolone (2) afforded a mixture of mono- and bis-allylation products under these conditions. Mono C-allylation products 5a-e and 15a-e undergo facile acid catalysed cyclisation to afford dihydrofurocoumarins 11a-e and dihydrofurodihydropyrid-2-ones 16a-e in good overall yield.
