Stereoselective Multiple Functionalization of Pyrylium Salts by Domino Reactions with 2-Silyloxybuta-1,3-dienes
摘要:
Six at a time! Up to six stereogenic centers can be diastereoselectively formed in one step in three-component domino reactions of 4-silyloxypyrylium triflates with 2-silyloxybuta-1,3-dienes. Annulated or bridged ring systems such as 1 and 2, respectively, can be formed with high selectivity. R1 =silyl group; R2 , R3 =organyl group.
Ru-Catalyzed Cyclization of Terminal Alkynals to Cycloalkenes
摘要:
Cycloalkenes can be efficiently prepared by a new Ru-catalyzed cyclization of terminal alkynals. Under appropriate conditions, cycloisomerizations to conjugated aldehydes may be observed. Both processes involve catalytic Ru vinylidenes.

TFA-promoted exo carbocyclizations of nonterminal 7-alkynals gave good to excellent yields of seven-membered cycloalkenones, a medium-sized functionalized ring present in natural products with relevant pharmacological properties. Nonterminal 5- and 6-alkynals also gave very good yields of the corresponding exo cyclopentenones and cyclohexenones. On the other hand, terminal 5-alkynals gave endo carbocyclizations to cyclohexenones. These carbocyclizations can be considered as tandem alkyne hydration/aldol condensation processes.
