A New Approach to Dihydrobenzofurans by Intramolecular Trapping of Benzynes by Hydroxyl Functions

, p. 6939 - 6940 (1993)
The adducts 3, derived from condensations of the 1-aminobenzotriazole dianion 2 and aldehydes or ketones, are converted into the corresponding benzynes upon exposure to either N-bromosuccinimide or lead(IV) acetate; intramolecular trapping by the hydroxyl group then leads to the dihydrobenzofurans 4, 7, 8 and 9 in 38-75percent isolated yields.
A new approach to dihydrobenzofurans and dihydrobenzopyrans (chromans) based on the intramolecular trapping by alcohols of benzynes generated from 7-substituted-1-aminobenzotriazoles

, p. 1013 - 1023 (2007/10/03)
1-Aminobenzotriazoles 9 having 7-hydroxyalkyl substituents are efficiently convened into the corresponding benzynes 4 when treated with N- iodosuccinimide which then undergo highly efficient intramolecular trapping by the pendant hydroxyl groups leading to dihydrobenzofurans 24-26 and dihydrobenzopyrans (chromans) 27, with incorporation of a synthetically useful iodine atom adjacent to the new ether bond, which allows subsequent and high-yielding homologations using Stille, Sonogashira and Heck couplings.
