Synthesis of Benzannulated [6,6]-Spiroketals by a One-Pot Carbonylative Sonogashira Coupling/Double Annulation Reaction

摘要

A one-pot Pd-catalyzed carbonylative Sonogashira coupling in tandem with double annulation reaction to synthesize benzannulated [6,6]-spiroketals from o-iodophenols and terminal alkynols or alkynyl phenols was achieved. The protocol provides straightforward and facile access to benzannulated [6,6]-spiroketals in moderate to good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities under balloon pressure of CO at room temperature.
