  • Catalytic Synthesis of 2H-Chromenes
    ACS Catalysis, 2015
    Co-Authors: Nilanjana Majumdar, Nanda D. Paul, Sutanuva Mandal, Bas De Bruin, William D. Wulff
    Abstract:

    2H-Chromenes (2H-1-benzopyran derivatives) display a broad spectrum of biological activities. The 2H-chromene substructure is an important structural motif present in a variety of medicines, natural products, and materials showing unique photophysical properties. Hence, the structural importance of the benzopyran moiety has elicited a great deal of interest in the field of organic synthesis and chemical biology to develop new and improved synthesis of these molecular skeletons. This review gives an up-to-date overview of different catalytic methodologies developed for the synthesis of 2H-Chromenes and is structured around the three main approaches applied in catalytic 2H-chromene synthesis: (I) catalysis with (transition) metals, (II) metal-free Bronsted and Lewis acid/base catalysis, which includes examples of nonenantioselective organocatalysis, and (III) enantioselective organo-catalysis. The section in which the metal-catalyzed reactions are discussed describes different ring-closing strategies based ...

  • simultaneous synthesis of both rings of Chromenes via a benzannulation o quinone methide formation electrocyclization cascade
    ChemInform, 2012
    Co-Authors: Nilanjana Majumdar, Keith A. Korthals, William D. Wulff
    Abstract:

    The reaction of an α,β-unsaturated Fischer carbene complex of chromium with a propargyl ether bearing an alkenyl group on the propargylic carbon affords the desired Chromenes, including chromene (IIIg), which is transformed to vitamin E (IV).

  • Simultaneous Synthesis of Both Rings of Chromenes via a Benzannulation/o-Quinone Methide Formation/Electrocyclization Cascade.

  • simultaneous synthesis of both rings of Chromenes via a benzannulation o quinone methide formation electrocyclization cascade
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2012
    Co-Authors: Nilanjana Majumdar, Keith A. Korthals, William D. Wulff
    Abstract:

    A new route to the chromene ring system has been developed which involves the reaction of an α,β-unsaturated Fischer carbene complex of chromium with a propargyl ether bearing an alkenyl group on the propargylic carbon. This transformation involves a cascade of reactions that begins with a benzannulation reaction and is followed by the formation of an o-quinone methide, and finally results in the emergence of a chromene upon an electrocyclization. This reaction was extended to provide access by employing an aryl carbene complex. This constitutes the first synthesis of Chromenes in which both rings of the chromene system are generated in a single step and is highlighted in the synthesis of lapachenole and vitamin E.
