Reactions of 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde

The Knoevenagel condensations of 5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde with seven compounds containing an active methyl or methylene group have been studied. The compounds used were: methyl 2-cyanoacetate, malononitrile, 2-furylacetonitrile, acetophenone, 2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidin-4-one (rhodanine), 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone), and methyl 2-azidoacetate. The effect of microwave irradiation on the condensation reactions was studied and compared with “’classical”’ conditions. Thermolysis of methyl 2-azido-3-{5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-furyl}propenoate afforded methyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)]-4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate. (2E)-3-{ 5-[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-furyl}propenoic acid was converted to the corresponding azide, which was cyclized on heating into 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)]-4,5-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one. The latter after successive action of POCl₃ and NH₂NH₂-Pd/C gave 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]furo[3,2-c]pyridine.

While 2-(trifluoromethyl)chromones react with cyanoacetamides in the presence of sodium ethoxide to produce 6-(2-hydroxyaryl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitriles, their reactions with ethyl cyanoacetate and diethyl malonate under the same conditions took an entirely different course and gave novel functionalized derivatives of 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one.

The esterifications of 9-（hydroxyimino）-4-methyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[2,3-h]chromen-2-one （4） with acid chlorides afforded normal oxime-esters 3a-e in 35-78% yields in presence of excessive 4-dimethylaminopyridine as the acid scavenger, whereas the reactions gave unexpected 8-substituted products N-（8-chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-furo-[2,3-h]chromen-9-yl）amides （5a-c） and 4-methyl-2,9-dioxo-8,9-dihydro-2H-furo[2,3-h]chromen-8-ylcarboxyloates （6d-e） by using excessive acid chlorides. The structures of 10 new compounds were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and HRMS, and the possible mechanism for the formation of unexpected products 5a--c and 6d-e was also proposed.

Two efficient cascade reactions to synthesize substituted furocoumarins

We have developed two efficient one-pot reactions to generate furo[3,2-c]coumarins and chlorofuro[3,2-c]coumarins through addition/cyclization/oxidation and chlorination. One cascade addition/cyclization/oxidation sequence of 1 with H(2)O in the presence of 20% CuCl as Lewis acid under an air atmosphere generated the 2-substituted-4 H-furo[3,2-c]chromen-4-one 2. Another sequence in the presence of 10% CuBr and excess CuCl(2) as the oxidant afforded the 3-chloro-2-substituted-4 H-furo[3,2- c]chromen-4-one 3.
