Abstract

Various 2,3-dihydro-2-substituted-2-vinyl-1,4-benzodioxins 6 are obtained by alkylation of the methyl carbonate of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-2-ylideneethanol 5 with various carbon nucleophiles in the presence of a palladium complex. Altough the yields in alkytion products are good in the case of a non-bulky nucleophile, formation of the diene 7 was generally observed when a bulky nucleophile was used.

Highlights

  • Compounds containing 1,4-benzodioxin and 1,4-benzodioxan structures have attracted considerable interest in recent years

Summary

Introduction

Compounds containing 1,4-benzodioxin and 1,4-benzodioxan structures have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Dimethyl malonate (Table 1, entry 1) and acetylacetone (Table 1, entry 2) reacted with carbonate 5 to give after column chromatography the alkylated 2,3-dihydro-2-vinyl-benzo-1,4dioxins 6a and 6b in 67 and 53% yield, respectively.
