Formation and synthetic use of oxygen-centred radicals with (diacetoxyiodo)arenes
o-Alkyl- or o-aryl-benzenecarboxylic acids and alcohols containing an aromatic ring are treated with a (diacetoxyiodo)arene-iodine system to give the corresponding cyclized products such as phthalide, benzocoumarin and chromane derivatives in moderate to good yields via the corresponding oxygen-centred radicals. For the carboxylic acids, [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene functions effectively, while (diacetoxyiodo)benzene is effective for the alcohols. Chromane and its derivatives are obtained as iodinated compounds by hypoiodite species derived from (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and iodine. Copyright 1997 by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Remote functionalization: Cyclic alkoxylation onto aromatic ring via radical pathway
Oxidative cyclization of alcohols containing an aromatic ring with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and iodine gave the corresponding cyclic ethers via alkoxy radicals in good yields. The present method is very useful for the direct preparation of flavonoid and vitamin E analogues from the alcohols.
