Electrochemical C-H Oxidation/Conjugate Addition/Cyclization Sequences of 2-Alkyl Phenols: One-Pot Synthesis of 2-Amino-4H-chromenes

초록

Electrochemical C-H oxidation/conjugate addition/cyclization sequences of 2-alkyl phenols with malononitrile are described. This transformation is an environmentally friendly approach by successfully avoiding the use of stoichiometric amounts of external redox reagents. Various 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives are afforded in moderate to high yields through a one-pot process from 2-benzyl or 2-cinnamyl phenol derivatives under mild reaction conditions.
