Intramolecular carbolithiation-cyclization-electrophilic substitution: Solvent effect and mechanistic study
The intramolecular carbolithiation-cyclization-electrophilic substitution sequence proves to be a promising strategy for synthetic organic chemists. Our current research in this area focuses on the one-pot halogen/lithium exchange of 2-bromophenyl-3-phenylprop-2-enyl ether, followed by intramolecula...

The intramolecular carbolithiation-cyclization-electrophilic substitution sequence proves to be a promising strategy for synthetic organic chemists. Our current research in this area focuses on the one-pot halogen/lithium exchange of 2-bromophenyl-3-phenylprop-2-enyl ether, followed by intramolecular carbolithiation, and trapping of the new lithiated cyclic intermediate by several electrophiles, affording 3-substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans with some diastereoselectivity.
