Synthesis of Phenyl-2,2′-bichalcophenes and Their Aza-Analogues by Catalytic Oxidative Deacetylation
Keyword(s):
Efficient synthetic method for medicinally and opto-electronically important bichalcophenes is reported, which highlights Mn(OAc)3/CoCl2-catalyzed oxidative deacetylation of 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds that were easily prepared by conjugate addition of ethyl acetoacetate to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds containing a chalcophene unit. Paal–Knorr reaction of the resulting 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds produced 4-phenyl-2,2′-bichalcophenes and their aza-analogues.
