Chapter 6 149H2-IodophenolOHOH(±)-58aTMGA; PdCl 2 [P(Ph) 3 ] 2 ; CuIOH(±)-62Scheme 6.21: Syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> (±)-62 by Pd catalyses.The first experiment was carried out to show that <strong>the</strong> base <strong>in</strong>deedcatalyzes a 5-endotrig cyclization under <strong>the</strong> reaction conditions used for<strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> benz<strong>of</strong>uranes or <strong>in</strong>dols. Two equivalents <strong>of</strong> tetramethylguanid<strong>in</strong>e were added to a solution <strong>of</strong> (±)-62 <strong>in</strong> DMF at 40°C to try <strong>the</strong>5-endotrig cyclization lead<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> benz<strong>of</strong>uran (±)-27. Surpris<strong>in</strong>gly <strong>the</strong>cyclization did not occur at all (Scheme 6.22). This result clearly excluded<strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> a simple base 5-endotrig catalyzed cyclization which wasobserved with (±)-71 us<strong>in</strong>g K 2 CO3/MeOH (Scheme 6.20).OHOHTMG 40°CODMF(±)-62 (±)-27gScheme 6.22: Attempt to cyclize (±)-62 with TMG.OHA second attempt <strong>of</strong> cyclization was carried out by add<strong>in</strong>gPdCl 2 [P(Ph) 3 ] 2 <strong>and</strong> TMG to a solution <strong>of</strong> (±)-62 <strong>in</strong> DMF at 40° (Scheme6.23).OHPdCl 2 [P(Ph) 3 ] 2 , TMGOOH(±)-62 40°C DMF(±)-27gOHScheme 6.23: Attempt to cyclize (±)-62 with PdCl2[P(Ph)3]2 <strong>and</strong> TMG.Aga<strong>in</strong> no cyclization occured after four hours <strong>of</strong> reaction time.
