“…Inspired by this result, they decided to investigate the reaction scope, employing several meta-substituted N-phenyl 2-trimethylsilylethynylbenzamides 47, bearing electrondonating and electron-withdrawing groups (R = H, Me, F, Br and Cl), and the respective products 48 were obtained in very good yields. In the same year, Wang, Sun, and co-workers reported the Pd(II)-catalyzed Oxonemediated oxidative sequential addition-annulation of 1,2-naphthofuroquinones 49 with diaryl alkynes 50, to prepare functionalized naphthofuroquinones 51 (Scheme 32) [37]. The method was efficiently applied to several functionalized 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones 49, bearing electron-neutral, -donating, and -withdrawing aryl substituents.…”
