Cyclohepta[de]naphthalenes and the Rearranged Abietane Framework of Microstegiol via Nicholas Reaction Chemistry
Publication History
Publication Date:
15 January 2009 (online)
Abstract
Nicholas reactions on 2,7-dioxygenated naphthalenes give C-1 monosubstitution and C-1/C-8 disubstitution in most cases. From γ-carbonyl cation monocondensation product 3b or alkyne-unsubstituted dicondensation product 4a, cyclohepta[de]naphthalenes bearing no substituents, gem-dimethyl substituents, and a ketone function, and the rearranged abietane framework of microstegiol may be prepared.
Key words
carbocations - alkyne complexes - transition metals - electrophilic aromatic substitution - ring closure - tautomerism

References and Notes
To a solution of 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene(1) in CH2Cl2 (0.05 M) at 0 ˚C was added propargyl alcohol complex 2 (1.1 equiv for monocondensations, 2.2 equiv for dicondensations) and BF3˙OEt2 (3 equiv). After 3 h of stirring at 0 ˚C, aq NH4Cl was added, and the mixture subjected to a conventional extractive workup. Purification by flash chromatography afforded 3 (monocondensation) or 4 and 5 (dicondensation).
