Metal-free oxidative cyclization of alkynyl aryl ethers to benzofuranones
Readily available phenols can be converted into substituted aryl alkynyl ethers, which react with an N-oxide as an oxidant and catalytic amounts of a Brønsted acid to provide benzofuranones. If non-terminal alkynyl ethers are applied, a 1,2-hydride shift takes place and phenyl acrylates are obtained...

| Summary: | Readily available phenols can be converted into substituted aryl alkynyl ethers, which react with an N-oxide as an oxidant and catalytic amounts of a Brønsted acid to provide benzofuranones. If non-terminal alkynyl ethers are applied, a 1,2-hydride shift takes place and phenyl acrylates are obtained. Thus activated alkynes can serve as α-oxy carbene precursors even in the absence of a metal catalyst. |
