Hu, Fang-Peng; Zhang, Xue-Guo; Wang, Meng; Wang, He-Song; Huang, Guo-Sheng published an article in 2021. The article was titled 《Synthesis of oxazolidinones through ring-opening and annulation of vinylene carbonate with 2-pyrrolyl/indolylanilines under Rh(III) catalysis》, and you may find the article in Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom).Electric Literature of C6H12O3 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Herein, a rhodium-catalyzed C-H functionalization and subsequent intramol. ring-opening/cyclization of vinylene carbonate with o-aminophenyl pyrroles and indoles, e.g. I (R1 = H, 3-Me, 4-F, 5-MeO, etc.; R2 = H, 4-Me, 5-F, etc.), which leads to fused oxazolidinones, e.g. II, in moderate to good yields is reported. In this transformation, vinylene carbonate only eliminates one oxygen atom rather than -CO3 or CO2. Furthermore, some control experiments were conducted to elucidate the reaction mechanism. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 2,5-Dimethoxytetrahydrofuran(cas: 696-59-3Electric Literature of C6H12O3)
2,5-Dimethoxytetrahydrofuran(cas: 696-59-3) is a member of ether. Friedel Crafts reaction, for example, adds an alkyl or acyl group to aromatic ethers when they react with an alkyl or acyl halide in the presence of a Lewis acid as a catalyst.Electric Literature of C6H12O3
