An efficient and general method for the synthesis of difluoroalkylated uracils, pyridinones, and coumarins through visible-light-induced reaction with commercial materials is developed. The strategy proceeds with high efficiency under mild reaction conditions and shows excellent functional group compatibility, even toward bromide and hydroxyl group, thus demonstrates high potent application in a late-stage fluoroalkylation. Moreover, the difluoroalkylated products can be further transformed to a diverse variety of difluoroalkylated heterocycles, including molecules of potential biological activity.
Three new benzylphenanthrenes, named 1-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-4,7-dimethoxyphenanthrene-2-ol (1), 1-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-4,7-dimethoxyphenanthrene-2,8-diol (2), and 1-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-4,7-dimethoxyphenanthrene-2,6-diol (3), along with a known analog were isolated from tubers of Bletilla striata. The structures of these new compounds were established by means of HR-ESI-MS, 1D, and 2D NMR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
