ICl-Mediated Functional Group Interconversion from Methyl Homopropargyl Ether to α-Iodo-γ-chloroketone.

ABSTRACT: An ICl-mediated highly chemo- and regioselective functional group interconversion from methyl homopropargyl ether to α-iodo-γ-chloro-ketone is reported. Density functional theory (DFT)-calculated reaction coordinate and potential energy surface support the high chemo-selectivity observed for the formation of α-iodo-γ-chloroketone over furan. The five-membered oxonium ring formation-ring opening mechanism is a potential template for the preparation of polyfunctionalized carbonyl compounds.
