Electrochemical selective annulative amino-ketalization and amino-oxygenation of 1,6-enynes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Sep 15;58(74):10420-10423. doi: 10.1039/d2cc03922b.

Abstract

A new electrochemical selective annulative amino-ketalization and amino-oxygenation of 1,6-enynes with disulfonimides and alcohols is reported, producing a series of functionalized benzofurans under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions. The annulative aminoketalization proceeds with simple short-chain alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and n-propanol as O-nucleophilic reagents, while the reaction occurs in the annulative aminooxygenation direction in the presence of water and large steric sec-butyl alcohol (SBA).
