Abstract
Activation of soft carbanions by copper(I) in the sub-stitution reaction toward aryl halides and allyl halides was demonstrated. Derivatives of 2(3H)-benzofuranones (2, 14 -18) were prepared in a one-pot procedure by the reaction of copper(I) diethyl malonate with sodium o-bromophenoxide. 2-Hydroxybenzofuran (4) and its 2-amino derivative (5) were obtained by using copper(I) salts of ethyl acetoacetate and ethyl cyanoacetate. The reaction of sodium p-bromophenoxides with copper(I) diethyl malonate yielded p-1,1,2,2-tetracaeboethoxyethylphenols (7, 8). 3-Carboethoxy-3-β-methallyl-2-benzofuranone (14) was converted into spiro[2-benzofuranone-3,3'-(5',5'-dimethyl)-γ-butyrolactone] (22) under acidic conditions. The latter compound was further decarboxylated to give spiro [2-benzofuranone-3,1'-(2',2'-dimethyl)cyclopropane] (23) by the treatment with sodium ethoxide.
