The article was titled 《Regioselective and Chemodivergent Synthesis of Azulenolactones and Azulenolactams from Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Reactions of Azulenecarboxamides with Sulfoxonium Ylides》.Product Details of 1774-47-6 The article contains the following contents:
A regioselective and chemodivergent synthetic approach for azulenolactones I (R1 = H, 8-Me, 8-Ph; R2 = H, Cl, Me; R3 = Ph, 3-MeC6H4, 4-ClC6H4, etc.; R4 = H, Me, Ph, 3-MeOC6H4) and azulenolactams II (R1 = H, 8-Me; R2 = H, Cl, Me; R3 = nBu, Ph, 3-MeC6H4, etc.; R4 = H, Me, Ph, 3-MeOC6H4) as a new scaffold was demonstrated through Rh(III)-catalyzed reaction of N-methoxyazulene-1-carboxamides with sulfoxonium ylides. Sulfoxonium ylides that act as a precursor of secondary carbene was described, leading to the selective formation of azulenolactones and azulenolactams bearing two substituents on a newly introduced double bond. This method demonstrated functionalization of less reactive 2-position of azulene to overcome the natural reactivity. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Trimethylsulfoxonium iodide(cas: 1774-47-6Product Details of 1774-47-6)
Trimethylsulfoxonium iodide(cas: 1774-47-6) is a sulfoxonium salt. It is used to generate dimethyloxosulfonium methylide by reaction with sodium hydride. The latter compound is used as a methylene-transfer reagent, and is used to prepare epoxides.Product Details of 1774-47-6
