Base-Promoted Formal [4 + 3] Annulation between 2-Fluorophenylacetylenes and Ketones: A Route to Benzoxepines
2016
The first base-promoted formal [4 + 3] annulation between 2-fluorophenylacetylenes and ketones has been disclosed. The reaction proceeds through a tandem α-vinylation of ketones followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction of the in situ generated β,γ-unsaturated ketone intermediates, providing a straightforward access to a wide range of functionalized benzoxepines in moderate to high yields. The transition-metal-free methodology featured a wide substrate scope, the use of easily available starting materials, and a high functional group tolerance.
