Zinc-Catalyzed Multicomponent Reactions: Easy Access to Furyl- Substituted Cyclopropane and 1,2-Dioxolane Derivatives

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of furyl-substituted cyclopropane derivatives through a zinc-catalyzed three component coupling of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, alkynals and alkenes are described.On the other hand, the synthesis of 1,2-dioxolane derivatives through a zinc-promoted aerobic oxidation of cyclopropane derivatives has been also developed. A four-component process yielding these cyclic peroxide derivatives has been also realized.
