Abstract
A new FeCl2- and DTBP (di- tert-butyl peroxide)-promoted oxidative ring-opening and cyclization of methylenecyclopropanes with aldehydes for the synthesis of 2-acyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalenes is presented. This oxidative cyclization reaction proceeds via a radical addition, ring-opening, and cyclization sequence facilitated by a Lewis acid, and it offers a practical and straightforward route for the oxidative cyclization of methylenecyclopropanes with an aromatic carbon and a C(sp2)-H bond by simultaneously forming two new carbon-carbon bonds.
