Synthesis of Chroman-2,4-diones via Ring-Opening/Ring-Closing Reaction Involving Palladium-Catalyzed Intramolecular Aryloxycarbonylation.

ABSTRACT: Palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of 3-iodochromone was studied in the presence of primary and secondary amines using atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide as a carbonyl source. This procedure successfully provided a library of chromone-3-carboxamides and 3-substituted chroman-2,4-diones in 40 to 92% isolated yields. The reaction proceeded via highly chemoselective aminocarbonylation (up to 100%) in the presence of secondary amines by using monodentate or bidentate phosphine ligands. The tendency of 3-iodochromone substrate to undergo ANRORC rearrangement with N-nucleophiles was crucial to shift the reaction toward an unprecedented chemoselective carbonylative transformation, where a late-stage carbonyl insertion is favored concomitantly to the last ring-closure step. The proposed a
