Title: Et₂MeN·HI-catalyzed reaction of arylboronic acids with 2-acyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrans leading to 2-aryl-tetrahydro-cyclopenta[1,3,2]dioxaboroles
Authors: Takahide Fukuyama and Ilhyong Ryu
Affiliation: Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Osaka Prefecture University, Sakai, Osaka 599-8531, Japan; E-Mails: fukuyama@c.s.osakafu-u.ac.jp (T.F.); ryu@c.s.osakafu-u.ac.jp (I.R.)
Abstract: We found that the reaction of arylboronic acids with 2-acyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrans proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic amount of Et₂MeN·HI to give acyl substituted-2-aryl-tetrahydro-cyclopenta[1,3,2]dioxaboroles in good yields. The reaction mechanism would involve ring-opening reaction of pyrans, acid catalyzed-aldol reaction, and condensation with boronic acids.
