Transition-Metal-Free Continuous-Flow Synthesis of 2,5-Diaryl Furans: Access to Medicinal Building Blocks and Optoelectronic Materials. J Org Chem 2024; 89:484-497. [PMID: 38143311 PMCID: PMC10777415 DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.3c02237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 11/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023]
Abstract
The direct transformation of 1,3-dienes into valuable 2,5-diarylfurans using transition-metal-free conditions is presented. By employing a simple oxidation─dehydration sequence on readily accessible 1,3-dienes, important 2,5-diarylfuran building blocks frequently used in medicinal and material chemistry are prepared. The oxidation step is realized using singlet oxygen, and the intermediate endoperoxide is dehydrated under metal-free conditions and at ambient temperature using the Appel reagent. Notably, this sequence can be streamlined into continuous flow, thereby eliminating the isolation of the intermediate, often unstable endoperoxide. This leads to a significant improvement in isolated yields (ca. 27% average increase) of the 2,5-diarylfurans while also increasing safety and reducing waste. Our transition-metal-free synthetic approach to 2,5-diarylfurans delivers several important furan building blocks used commonly in medicinal chemistry and as optoelectronic materials, including short-chain linearly conjugated furan oligomers. Consequently, we also complete a short study of the optical and electrochemical properties of a selection of these novel materials.

Abstract
The present study provides an overview of the chemistry and biological importance
of the cationic chalcophene derivatives (furans, thiophenes and selenophenes). The
summarized literature survey includes synthetic methods, reactivity and biological activities
of aryl/hetarylchalcophenes that have been reported mainly from 2001 to 2019 focusing
on monochalcophenes. A discussion demonstrating the proposed mechanisms of some
interesting synthetic routes and linking structure features to biological activities is presented.
These classes of compounds including cationic chalcophenes possess antiproliferative,
antimicrobial and antiprotozoal activities. This review highlights recent advances
for arylchalcophene derivatives and may contribute to the design and structure optimization
of new chalcophene derivatives in the future.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of the entire acyclic carbon framework toward (±)-furanocembranoid 1 via the longest linear sequence of 12 steps from commercially available linalool and diethyl 2-isopropylmalonate. Key to the success of this synthetic approach is a silver-catalyzed enyne-annulation reaction for the formation of 2,4-disubstituted furan motif of unique furanocembranoid 1, isolated from Croton oblongifolius. Construction of macrocycle has also been explored using the ring-closing metathesis reaction.
