Abstract: | In this strategy, the tetrasubstituted benzoquinones have been prepared directly by a 2+2+1+1] cyclocarbonylative coupling reaction of internal alkynes with CO in the presence of RhCl(CO)2]2. The low concentration of CO in the reaction is the crucial point for the chemoselective formation of tetrasubstituted benzoquinones in good to high yields. Functional groups such as chloro, methoxy, cyano, vinyl, fluoro, and carboxylate are tolerated under the reaction conditions. |
