Catalytic Formal Benzylic C-H Bond Functionalization of 2,5-Dialkylfuran Derivatives with Ferrocenyl Alcohols as Alkylation Reagents

The inert benzylic C-H bond of π-electron-rich heteroaromatic 2,5-dialkylfuran derivatives was conveniently functionalized with ferrocenyl alcohols as alkylation reagents under catalytic acidic conditions at room temperature, which features chemo- and reg

A Simple and Efficient Total Synthesis of the Sesquiterpenes Cuparene and Iso-α-curcumene, from Furan Derivatives

3,3-Dimethyl-2-p-tolylcyclopentanone (7) was synthesised by 1,4-addition of lithium dimethylcuprate to 3-methyl-2-p-tolylcyclopentenone (6), which was derived from 5-methyl-2-(4-methylbenzyl)furan (4) through the diketone (5).Starting from the same intermediate (5), 2-p-tolylheptan-6-one (16) was also synthesised.These results constitute formal total syntheses of cuparene (9) and iso-α-curcumene (17) respectively.
