Copper-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening reaction of oxabenzonorbornadienes with Grignard and aluminum reagents

A highly enantioselective method for the copper-catalyzed desymmetrization of oxabenzonorbornadienes with aluminum reagents and SimplePhos as chiral ligand has been developed. The same reaction with Grignard reagents is also reported. A wide range of alky

Isolation of cyclohexadienone intermediates in the photo-fries rearrangement of 2,4-dimethylnaphth-1-yl and 1,4-dimethylnaphth-2-yl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoates

Labile cyclohexadienones were isolated for the first time in good yields in the photo-Fries rearrangement of partially blocked naphthyl esters. Upon direct excitation at 313 nm, 1,4-dimethylnaphth-2-yl and 2,4-dimethylnaphth-1-yl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoates afforded 1-acyl-2-naphthalenone and 2- and 4-acyl-1-naphthalenones, respectively. This isolation is of particular importance as a direct mechanistic proof and also as a convenient route to these thermally less-accessible compounds.
