Aryne chemistry. Part XXXI. Reactions of arynes with αβ-unsaturated aldehydes

Abstract
The reaction of benzyne, generated from anthranilic acid, benzothiadiazole 1,1-dioxide, and diphenyliodonium-2-carboxylate, with cinnamaldehyde results in the formation of flav-3-ene. Similarly tetrachlorobenzyne, generated from tetrachloroanthranilic acid, tetrachlorobenzenediazonium-2-carboxylate hydrochloride, and 3,4,5,6-tetra-chloro-2-(3,3-dimethyltriazeno)benzoic acid, affords 5,6,7,8-tetrachloroflav-3-ene. Reactions with other αβ-un-saturated aldehydes result in the formation of derivatives of 2H-chromen. The mechanism of the reaction has been studied using 14C, 2H, and alkyl groups as labels.
