Toward a total synthesis of acremoxanthone A, we report a model study on the construction of the EFG ring system. The key steps include (1) an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an aryl nitrile oxide with a dienone, and (2) an S N Ar reaction for construction of the F ring.

Photoredox catalysis, especially in combination with transition metal catalysis, can produce redox states of transition metal catalysts to facilitate challenging bond formations that are not readily accessible in conventional redox catalysis. For arene functionalization, metallophotoredox catalysis has successfully made use of the same leaving groups as those valuable in conventional cross-coupling catalysis, such as bromide. Yet the redox potentials of common photoredox catalysts are not sufficient to reduce most aryl bromides, so synthetically useful aryl radicals are often not directly available. Therefore, the development of a distinct leaving group more appropriately matched in redox potential could enable new reactivity manifolds for metallophotoredox catalysis, especially if arylcopper(iii) complexes are accessible, from which the most challenging bond-forming reactions can occur. Here we show the conceptual advantages of aryl thianthrenium salts for metallophotoredox catalysis, and their utility in site-selective late-stage aromatic fluorination.
Direct formylation of fluorine-containing aromatics with dichloromethyl alkyl ethers

Formylations of fluorine-containing aromatic compounds with dichloromethyl alkyl ethers have been investigated. Dichloromethyl propyl ether and dichloromethyl butyl ether have been applied for the formylation of fluorine-containing anisoles to give the corresponding aldehydes in good yields. Application of these ethers is preferable to that of methyl ether, which is prepared from volatile methyl formate. Reaction of fluorine-containing phenols with these dichloromethyl alkyl ethers did not give salicylaldehyde derivatives, leading instead to corresponding aryl formates in high yields. A plausible mechanism is discussed.
