Abstract:
A solution of ceric ammonium nitrate (37 mg, 0.067 mmol) in water was added dropwise to a vigorously stirred solution of naphthol 1 (13 mg, 0.036 mmol) [1] in acetonitrile (2.2 ml) at room temperature and stirred for 15 min. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate was added and the resultant suspension immediately cooled to 0°C. After 1min., a solution of 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran 2 (0.012 ml, 0.071 mmol) in acetonitrile (0.2 ml) was added dropwise and the resultant solution stirred at 0°C for 30 min. ...
