Me3SiI, a versatile reagent to promote a variety of useful synthetic transformations in the past thirty years. The thesis mainly focused on the application of Me3SiI in the organic synthesis field. This thesis is comprised of three parts.
1. Benzopyran is a well-known privileged structural motif widely found in many physiologically active compounds. Me3SiI-promoted reaction of salicylic aldehydes with β-dicarbonyl compounds provided a facile way to construct4H-benzopyrans in moderate to good yields. Thi...
