Sixteen 5-(4'-alkoxybiphenyl-4-yloxy)-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones are synthesized via the direct dehydrative etherification reactions of 4'-alkoxybiphenyl-4-ol with mucochloric acid and mucobromic acid, respectively, using sulfuric acid as catalyst at reflux in toluene from 30% to 58% yields (mostly over 47%). The moderate yields may be due to that this acid-catalyzed etherification should be a S N 2 nucleophilic substitution reaction. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds are elucidated and confirmed by FTIR, UV, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and elemental analysis. The synthetic procedures afford not only an important strategy for the synthesis of 2(5H)-furanone derivatives having potential bioactivity, but also a simple method for the synthesis of aromatic ether from two different hydroxyl compounds.
Using KF as catalyst and tetrahydrofuran as solvent, 5-alkyloxy-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones was reacted with several aliphatic amines. The chemical structures and absolute configurations of the products were confirmed via rotation, UV-Vis, IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, MS techniques, elemental analysis and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Thirteen new normal products β-amino-2(5H)-furanones were obtained via the tandem Michael addition-elimination reaction as anticipated in most cases. However, the reaction between the larger steric dicyclohexyl amine and 5-alkyloxy-3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones yielded four new abnormal products, (E)-alkyl 2-halo-4-dicyclohexylamino-4-oxobut-2-enoate. The possible mechanism for the formation of 2(5H)-furanone ring-opening products involving in the rearrangement reaction was proposed.
