An improved synthetic access for the construction of 4,6,7-trimethylbenzofurans (B1-B8) through the one-electron oxidation of mesityl-substituted enols (E1-E8) is presented.The transformation can be accomplished in good to excellent yields by using variou
Controlled Oxidation of Enolates to α-Carbonyl Radicals and α-Carbonyl Cations
Roeck, Maik,Schmittel, Michael
, p. 1739 - 1741 (2007/10/02)
Depending on the oxidation strength of the one-electron oxidants either persistent α-carbonyl radicals or α-carbonyl cation derived benzofurans are formed from enolates A1-A6, a result which can readily be rationalized by the measured oxidation potentials
