We report a highly chemoselective consecutive C-H [2+3]-cyclative functionalization for the simultaneous formation of two C-C bonds, constructing polycyclic phenols without the use of metal catalyst. The catalytic system, using commercially available and low-cost B(C6F5)(3), tolerates a wide range of substrates and efficiently produces 2,6,7,8-tetrahydroacenaphthylen-3-ol-type polycyclic compounds. Additionally, several derivative reactions of the catalytic products demonstrate the potential application of this method in the synthesis of polycyclic compounds.
Metal-free catalytic C-H functionalization is highly desired for the construction of C-C bonds. We herein report a highly chemoselective consecutive C-H [2+3]-cyclative functionalization for the simultaneous formation of two C-C bonds with construction of polycyclic phenols catalyzed by commercially available and low-cost B(C6F5)(3). This catalytic system tolerates a wide range of substrate scope, providing a series of 2,6,7,8-tetrahydroacenaphthylen-3-ol-type polycyclic compounds efficiently. Several derivatizations of the catalytic products have also been conducted to show the potential application of this method in synthesis of polycyclic compounds.
