Synthesis of 2（5H）-Furanone Derivatives with Bis-1,2,3-triazole Structure

A series of new chiral 2（5H）-furanone derivatives containing bis-l,2,3-triazole moiety were designed and syn- thesized from （5S）-5-alkoxy-3,4-dihalo-2（5H）-furanones 1, dicarboxyl amino acids 2, propargyl bromide, and or- ganic azides 5 under mild conditions via the sequential three steps, including asymmetric Michael addi- tion-elimination, substitution and no-ligand click reaction. Twelve new intermediates, including N-[5-alkoxy- 2（5H）-furanonyl] dicarboxyl amino acids 3 and their corresponding propargyl esters 4, and twelve target molecules 6 were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The influences of different syn- thetic conditions and substrates in each step were investigated. The research provides a new method and idea for the synthesis of 2（5H）-furanone compounds with polyheterocyclic structure due to the diversities of four basic unit molecules.
