Abstract

Starting from the 4-(ω-iodoperfluorobutyl)-2-methylbut-3-yn-2-ol, the 5-(ω-iodoperfluoropropyl)furan-3(2H)-one is formed in one step under the Rupe conditions (reflux with formic acid, yield 93%). This compound is added to 2-methylbut-3-yn-2-ol through a radical chain process, using the Huang system (Na2S2O4-NaHCO3, MeCN-H2O), yielding the expected adduct (47%), the hydrodeiodinated equivalent compound (35%) and a new spiro compound containing a partly fluorinated ring (18%). This latter compound may result from an interesting annulation process. The iodo adduct is hydrodeiodinated (Zn-AcOH-EtOH, final yield 82%) and added to umbelliferone through Mitsunobu etherification (PPh3-DIAD-THF) yielding (45%) the expected Geiparvarin analogue possessing a fluorinated segment
