Preparation of Nitrodibromophenols 4; General Procedure
To a stirred mixture of dinitroalkane 1 (2 mmol) and acrolein (2.6 mmol, 0.174 mL) was added, at 0 °C, basic Al2O3 (2 g, activity I). The resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 min, then at r.t. for the appropriate reaction time (Table
[1]
). The heterogeneous mixture was directly charged onto a chromatography column (EtOAc-hexane) giving the pure compound 2.13 To a solution of 2 (1 mmol) in H2O-MeOH (1:1, 10 mL), K2CO3 (0.2 g, 2 mmol) was added at r.t. After stirring for 15 min, the solution was acidified with 4 N HCl (pH 2-3) and left at r.t. for 30 min. The organic solution was washed with NaHCO3 (3 × 5 mL), brine (1 × 10 mL), and then evaporated. The residue was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (20 mL), followed by the addition of PhN(CH3)3Br·Br2 (0.38 g, 1 mmol). The solution obtained after stirring overnight at r.t. was treated with DBU until the color changed, and the reaction was left to proceed for 1 h. The mixture was washed with H2O (2 × 5 mL), brine (10 mL), and the organic layer was dried (MgSO4), concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, hexane-EtOAc) giving pure compounds 4.
