RESUMO
This thesis describes the studies aiming at the synthesis of jungianol and the construction of benzofuranic rings. In both cases, the key-step is the reaction of thallium(III)-mediated ring contraction. Jungianol is a phenolic sesquiterpene isolated by Bohlmann et al., in 1977, from the species Jungia malvaefolia. The key-step of the synthesis could be the reaction of 1,2-dihydro-5-methoxy-1,6-dimethylnaphthalene (key-intermediate) with thallium trinitrate (TTN) to furnish the indan skeleton. Two different synthetic approaches were used to prepare the key-intermediate: intramolecular cyclization and ring-closing metathesis, both without success. Another target of our studies was the reaction of ring contraction of 2H-chromenes, mediated by TTN, aiming at the construction of benzofuranic skeletons. The substrates used are 2H-chromene, 8-methoxy-2H-chromene, 7-methoxy-2H-chromene and 6-methoxy-2H-chromene, prepared according to known methods. The reactions of the 2H-chromenes with TTN gave a mixture, in equal amounts, of ring contraction and addition products, in the three used conditions. By RMN-1H analysis it was possible to determine that the relationship between the substituents of the addition products is preferentially trans, and the conformation of the heterocycle is a half-chair, with the substituents in a pseudo-diaxial position.
