Rh (III)-catalyzed C-H activation of benzoylacetonitriles in coupling with diazo compounds was developed to synthesize diversified substituted benzo[ de]chromenes via a formal (4 + 2) cycloaddition with a diazo compound and subsequent tandem (4 + 2) cycloaddition with another diazo compound. Intriguingly, synthesis of substituted benzo[ de]chromenes and their decarboxylation products could be realized by controlling the reaction conditions. These reactions have a broad range of substrates, moderate to good yields, and high regioselectivity.
铑(III)催化苯甲酰乙腈与重氮化合物的 C-H 活化反应,通过与重氮化合物的[4 + 2]环加成和与另一个重氮化合物的串联[4 + 2]环加成,合成了多种取代的苯并[de]色烯。有趣的是,通过控制反应条件,可以实现取代的苯并[de]色烯及其脱羧产物的合成。这些反应具有广泛的底物范围,中等至良好的产率和高区域选择性。
