Description

General description

Ethyl (4-fluorobenzoyl)acetate on condensation with benzofurazan oxide yields 2-(carboethoxy)-3-(4′-fluoro)phenylquinoxaline1,4-dioxide.

Application

Reactant used as a precursor in:

• Condensation reactions with diamines via C-C bond cleavage for synthesis of benzimidazoles and perimidines for possible use as antimalarial treatments
• Base-promoted domino Michael addition / cyclization / elimination reactions for synthesis of hydroxybenzophenones
• Oxidative cross-coupling with indoles via dioxygen activation
• Cyclization of keto esters for synthesis of pyrones
• Lewis base catalyzed hydrosilylation for synthesis of α-acetoxy β-amino acid derivatives
• Conia-ene reactions for synthesis of methylenecyclopentane derivatives
