Regioselective reactions of highly substituted arynes

Org Lett. 2010 Mar 19;12(6):1224-7. doi: 10.1021/ol1000796.

Abstract

The fully regioselective reactivity of four new highly substituted silyl aryl triflate aryne precursors in aryne acyl-alkylation, acyl-alkylation/condensation, and heteroannulation reactions is reported. The application of these more complex arynes provides access to diverse natural product scaffolds and obviates late-stage functionalization of aromatic rings.
