First synthesis of 4-(arylsulfonyl)phenols by regioselective [3+3] cyclocondensations of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 2-arylsulfonyl-3-ethoxy-2-en-1-ones

Abstract The formal [3+3] cyclization of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with readily available 2-arylsulfonyl-3-ethoxy-2-en-1-ones resulted in regioselective formation of 4-(arylsulfonyl)phenols.

Synthesis of Functionalized Acetophenones by Formal [3+3] Cyclocondensations of 1,3-Bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-Alkoxyand 3-Silyloxy-2-acetyl-2-en-1-ones

The TiCl4-mediated cyclization of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 2-acetyl-1-silyloxybut-1- en-3-one and 3-acetyl-4-silyloxypent-3-en-2-one, readily available from 3-(formyl)acetylacetone and 3-(acetyl)acetylacetone (triacetylmethane), afforded a variety of functionalized acetophenones Graphical Abstract Synthesis of Functionalized Acetophenones by Formal [3+3] Cyclocondensations of 1,3-Bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 3-Alkoxyand 3-Silyloxy-2-acetyl-2-en-1-ones

Synthesis of 2-Hydroxy-5-Arylselanyl-Benzoates by [3+3] Cyclocondensation of 1,3-Bis(Silyloxy)-1,3-Butadienes with 2-Arylseleno-3-Silyloxy-Alk-2-en-1-Ones

Abstract Functionalized 2-hydroxy-5-arylselanyl-benzoates were prepared by formal [3+3] cyclizations of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with 2-arylselanyl-3-silyloxy-alk-2-en-1-ones. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
