Toward a total synthesis of acremoxanthone A, we report a model study on the construction of the EFG ring system. The key steps include (1) an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an aryl nitrile oxide with a dienone, and (2) an S N Ar reaction for construction of the F ring.

We report here the first example of cross-coupling between two different and unactivated C(aryl)-O bonds with chromium catalysis. The combination of a low-cost Cr(II) salt, 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-dipyridyl (dtbpy) as the ligand, and magnesium as the reductant shows high reactivity in promoting the reductive cross-coupling of aryl methyl ether derivatives with aryl esters by cleavage and coupling of two different C(aryl)-O bonds under mild conditions. The formation of active low-valent Cr species by reduction of CrCl2 with Mg can be considered, which prefers to initially activate the C(aryl)-O bond of phenyl methyl ether with the chelation help of dtbpy and an o-imine auxiliary. The subsequent consecutive reduction, second C(aryl)-O activation, and reductive elimination allow for the achievement of selective cross-coupling of C(aryl)-O/C(aryl)-O bonds.
Direct formylation of fluorine-containing aromatics with dichloromethyl alkyl ethers

Formylations of fluorine-containing aromatic compounds with dichloromethyl alkyl ethers have been investigated. Dichloromethyl propyl ether and dichloromethyl butyl ether have been applied for the formylation of fluorine-containing anisoles to give the corresponding aldehydes in good yields. Application of these ethers is preferable to that of methyl ether, which is prepared from volatile methyl formate. Reaction of fluorine-containing phenols with these dichloromethyl alkyl ethers did not give salicylaldehyde derivatives, leading instead to corresponding aryl formates in high yields. A plausible mechanism is discussed.
