ICl-Mediated Intramolecular Twofold Iodoarylation of Diynes and Diynyl Diethers and Amines: Synthesis of Bis(2H-hydronaphthalene and chromene) and 2H-Quinoline Bearing an Alkenyl Iodide
Electrophilic intramolecular twofold iodoarylation was developed from the reaction of diynes and diynyl diethers and amines with iodine monochloride under mild conditions, which produced bis(2H-hydronaphthalene and chromene) and 2H-quinoline bearing an alkenyl iodide moiety in good to excellent yields. These compounds underwent Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with arylboronic acid and indium tris(arylthiolate) to produce the functionalized styrene derivatives.
