The First Formation of (1Z)??1??Alkylidene??1H??isobenzofuranium Amides and 1H??Inden??1??ones: Acid??Promoted 5??exo Cyclization and Hydration/Aldol Condensation …
Abstract (1Z)-1-(2, 2-Dimethylpropylidene)-1H-isobenzofuranium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amides were synthesized through 5-exo cyclization reactions between sterically encumbered o-alkynylbenzophenones and bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (Tf 2 NH). It was confirmed that the five-membered-ring isobenzofuranium amide isomerized to give the corresponding benzopyrylium amide, the six-membered-ring framework compound, in ...
