Abstract
The use of silica-supported Lewis acids as catalysts under microwave irradiation promotes regiospecific opening of the 7-oxa bridge of Diels-Alder cycloadducts of furan derivatives and produces polysubstituted phenols in a single step. This rapid and efficient procedure permits the synthesis of tri-, tetra- and pentasubstituted benzene derivatives by reaction of 2,5-dimethylfuran (1), 2-ethylfuran (2) and 2-methoxyfuran (3) with dienophiles such as dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and methyl propiolate.

Pyridine adsorption-desorption experiments were carried out in order to determine the relative proportion of Lewis and Brønsted acidic sites. Thus, Lewis/Brønsted acid area ratios were determined by the integral areas of Lewis and Brønsted IR bands of pyridine adsorbed onto modified silicas previously described by:

Typical Experimental Procedure: A mixture of furan (1-3, 9.0 mmol), an acetylenic dienophile (4 and 5, 1.5 mmol) and silica-supported Lewis acid (0.5 g) was charged to a commercial 25 mL Teflon PTFE vessel. The vessel was closed and irradiated in a Miele Electronic M720 microwave oven at 450 W during 30 min. In all reactions the compounds were isolated by adding 50 mL of CH2Cl2 to the mixture and separating the catalyst by filtration. The solvent was removed from the filtrate under reduced pressure and the crude reaction mixtures were analysed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy in CDCl3. The products were purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane-EtOAc 8:1 for compound 9 and 3:1 for product 11) [17] or by distillation under reduced pressure in a Kugelrohr apparatus (for compounds 6, [18] 7, [19] 8 and 10 [20] ). Yields were determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy using CH2Br2 (δ = 4.93 ppm) as an internal standard. It should be remarked that for the reactions in entries 15 and 23 (Table [1] ) the isolated yields show differences of between 3% and 7% less than the calculated yields using CH2Br2 as internal standard, thus demonstrating the accuracy of this method. All compounds were characterised by analytical methods and 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, using one- and two-dimensional techniques. The new compounds exhibit NMR spectra consistent with their structures and gave satisfactory molecular weight determinations (mass spectrometry). [21] Catalysts modified with Lewis acids were obtained by treating silica gel with 1 M solutions of ZnCl2, AlEt2Cl or TiCl4 following the previously described method. [12] [13] The silica contained 1.5 mmol of Zn g-1, 1.4 mmol of Al g-1 and 1.2 mmol of Ti g-1, respectively, as determined by plasma emission spectroscopy. For the Si(Zn) catalyst, activation for 2 h at 150 °C under vacuum was necessary before use. Reactions carried out using thermal heating were performed in an oil bath under the same conditions of temperature and time as the microwave reactions. This temperature was determined at the end of a blank reaction using microwave irradiation.
