摘要
The first diastereodivergent formal[4+1]cycloaddition reactions of azoalkenes with p-quinone methides(pQMs)have been accomplished.The reported reaction occurred via a domino oxa-1,4-addition/1,6-addition process,allowing the use of common azoalkenes as C1 synthons.A broad range of 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans was smoothly prepared in good yields and with reversible diastereoselectivities.The steric hindrance and hydrogenbonding interaction were proposed to account for the two different modes of diastereo-control.The projected reaction features the employment of azoalkene as carbene-like C1 synthon,mild conditions,broad substrate scope and tunable diastereoselectivity.
