Abstract
A general regiospecific synthesis of dibenzo[ b,d]pyran-6-one derivatives la,c and 8a-i related to ellagic acid is described (Scheme I, Table I). The sequence involves directed ortho metalation-boronation of benzamides 4 to give the arylboronic acids 5, which, upon palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling with alkoxybromobenzenes 6 leads to the biphenylamides 7. BBr3 demethylation followed by acid-catalyzed cyclization affords pyranone 8. In this manner, the naturally occurring dibenzopyranones la, autumnariol (IC), and the heterocyclic analogue 13 (Scheme 111) were efficiently prepared.
