First synthesis of functionalized 5-aryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenols by regioselective [3+3] cyclocondensations of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-aryl-3-silyloxy-1-trifluoromethyl-2-en-1-ones

摘要

A variety of functionalized 5-aryl-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenols were prepared by the first TiCl4-mediated [3+3] cyclocondensation of 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-aryl-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1-trifluoromethyl-2-en-1-ones.
