The discovery and development of an efficient ene carbocyclization of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds bearing pendent terminal alkyne substituents under 3-nitrobenzeneboronic acid catalysis is described. The reaction is efficient, easy to perform and general to a wide range of ketoester substrates.
3,5-Bis(pentafluorosulfanyl)phenylboronic acid: A new organocatalyst for Conia-ene carbocyclization of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds having terminal alkynes
3,5-Bis(pentafluorosulfanyl)phenylboronic acid 1 was introduced as an efficient organocatalyst for Conia-ene carbocyclization of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds having terminal alkynes. A variety of 2-alkynic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds were smoothly converted to ene-carbocyclization products in moderate to excellent yields. Compared with the reported catalyst, 3-nitro phenylboronic acid, catalyst 1 is slightly better in a non-polar solvent such as toluene and Solkane(R) 365mfc (1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane). These results indicate that the SF5 function can be a lipophilic and sterically demanding alternative to the NO2 group in catalyst design. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
