Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,4-Benzodioxepines
Organic Letters(2019)
Abstract
An efficient organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of chiral 1,4-benzodioxepines is described. By proper incorporation of an intramolecular oxetane desymmetrization process, a range of benzylic alcohols bearing an internal oxetane reacted in the presence of a suitable chiral phosphoric acid catalyst to form chiral 1,4-benzodioxepines with high enantioselectivity. This process provides a new catalytic asymmetric example of direct synthesis of seven-membered heterocycles with good stereocontrol.
