Generation of Cycloalkylidene Carbenes via Exo-Type Cyclization of Alkynyllithiums Bearing Remote Leaving Group
摘要:
The reaction of 5-hexynyl tosylate (3a) with alkynyllithium (RC=CLi; R Ph, TMS) gives enynes 5 and 6. The reaction proceeds through a mechanism involving a novel exo-type cyclization of 6-lithiod-hexynyl tosylate to form cyclopentylidene carbene. Enyne 6 is produced by the addition of RC=CLi to the carbene, whereas rearrangement of the carbene to cyclohexyne followed by carbolithiation with RC=CLi gives enyne 5. The formation of cyclopentylidene carbene and cyclohexyne as intermediates is clearly demonstrated by trapping experiments with cyclohexene land triethylsilane) and with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran, respectively. Alkynyllithiums derived from 3-butynyl and 6-heptynyl p-fluorobenzenesulfonates (19a,b) undergo a similar exo-type cyclization to give cyclopropylidene and cyclohexylidene carbenes, respectively.

Differently substituted terminal alkynes that bear sulfonate leaving groups at an appropriate distance were converted in the presence of a propynyl gold(I) precatalyst. After initial formation of a gold acetylide, a cyclization takes place at the β‐carbon atom of this species. Mechanistic studies support a mechanism that is related to that of dual gold‐catalyzed reactions, but for the new substrates
give (diiodomethylene)cycloalkanes. The diiodomethylene products are also obtained by iodine atom-transfer-type cyclization of ω-iodo-1-alkynes, using 1-iodo-1-hexyne as an external iodine atom source. Bromine atom-transfer and proton-transfer cyclization proceed as well by employing 1-bromo-1-octyne and 1-octyne, respectively. These reactions are proposed to proceed through a carbenoid-chain process

transformed into multisubstituted alkenes through stereospecific transformations. Mechanistic studies showed that the chemo- and stereoselectivity of copper(I)-catalyzed borylation depends on the type of leaving group. Density functional theory calculations suggested that the regioselectivity of the borylcupration of the alkyne is controlled by the electronic effect of the oxygen atom of the propargyl ether
