Chromenes represent an important class of six-membered heterocycles and have drawn tremendous attention in recent years. In this article, we report a convenient and practical synthesis of this heterocycle by a silver(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between in situ generated ortho-quinone methides and N-allenamides. Diverse 4H-chromenes were synthesized in good to excellent yields under very mild conditions. 相似文献
You can append on me! Porphyrin‐appended polynorbornenes derived from 5,6‐endo‐fused N‐arylpyrrolidenonorbornenes have been shown to have coherently aligned pendant groups that exhibit exciton coupling and fluorescence quenching in the absorption and emission profiles (see figure).
Green carbanion surrogates : Organotrialkylsilanes occupy a niche in the array of ‘green’ carbon nucleophiles open to chemists that few other reagents can fill. Despite being known for over 30 years, it is only recently that their true worth in stereoselective carbonyl addition and related processes has started to emerge, primarily due to their low reactivity. It is our hope that this minireview will make the true worth of these reagents more widely known, setting the stage for expanded usage of these versatile yet benign reagents in organic synthesis.
