- Intramolecular rhodium carbenoid insertions into aromatic C-H bonds. Preparation of 1,3-dihydrothiophene 2,2-dioxides fused onto aromatic rings
-
The preparation of 1-carboalkoxy-1,3-dihydrobenzenothiophene 2,2-dioxides via rhodium acetate or rhodium trifluoro-acetate catalyzed decomposition of α-diazo-β-arylmethanesulfonyl esters is described.The reaction has been extended to yield 1,3-dihydrothiophene 2,2-dioxides fused to the 2,3 position of thiophene and indole, but not of furans.In the latter case products derived from the opening of the furan ring were obtained.Key words: synthesis, 1-carboalkoxy-1,3-dihydrobenzothiophene 2,2-dioxides, intramolecular carbenoid insertions, rhodium acetate catalysis.
