Thermal EDA-Mediated Divergent Synthesis of Acetimidates and Benzochromenes via a One-Pot Three-Component Reaction.

A metal-, light-, catalyst-, and additive-free divergent synthesis of acetimidates and benzochromenes has been established from [1,1'-binaphthalene]-2,2'-diols (BINOLs) and aryldiazonium salts by using MeCN as the imine source with its cyano carbon serving as the C1 synthon. The electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex-me...
