Abstract
A one-pot [3+3] aldol-SNAr-dehydration annulation sequence was utilized to fuse hindered phenols onto aromatic substrates. The transformation joins doubly activated 1,3-disubstituted acetone derivatives (dinucleophiles) with C5-activated 2-fluorobenzaldehyde SNAr acceptors (dielectrophiles) in the presence of K2CO3 in [...] Read more.
A one-pot [3+3] aldol-SNAr-dehydration annulation sequence was utilized to fuse hindered phenols onto aromatic substrates. The transformation joins doubly activated 1,3-disubstituted acetone derivatives (dinucleophiles) with C5-activated 2-fluorobenzaldehyde SNAr acceptors (dielectrophiles) in the presence of K2CO3 in DMF at 65–70 °C to form polysubstituted 2-naphthols and 7-hydroxyquinolines. The reaction is regioselective in adding the most stable anionic center to the aldehyde followed by SNAr closure of the less stabilized anion to the electron-deficient aromatic ring. Twenty-seven examples are reported, and a probable mechanism is presented. In two cases where SNAr activation on the acceptor ring was lower (a C5 trifluoromethyl group on the aromatic ring or a 2-fluoropyridine), diethyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate initiated an interesting Grob-type fragmentation to give cinnamate esters as the products.

Abstract
A domino aldol-SNAr-dehydration [3+3] annulation strategy has been utilized to fuse six-membered cyclic amides onto aromatic substrates. 2-Arylacetamides have been reacted with 2-fluorobenzaldehyde derivatives activated toward SNAr reaction by an electron-withdrawing substituent (NO2, CN, CF3, [...] Read more.
A domino aldol-SNAr-dehydration [3+3] annulation strategy has been utilized to fuse six-membered cyclic amides onto aromatic substrates. 2-Arylacetamides have been reacted with 2-fluorobenzaldehyde derivatives activated toward SNAr reaction by an electron-withdrawing substituent (NO2, CN, CF3, CO2Me) at C5 to prepare 3,6-disubstituted quinolin-2(1H)-ones. Additionally, 3-substituted 1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones have been similarly derived from 2-fluoronicotinaldehyde. Fifteen examples are reported, and two possible mechanistic scenarios are presented and discussed. Full article
