Stereoselective convergent synthesis of hydroazulenes via an intermolecular cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement
摘要:
Rhodium(II) acetate catalyzed decomposition of vinyldiazomethane 1 to a vinylcarbenoid intermediate in the presence of oxygenated dienes led to the direct formation of hydroazulenes 7, 13, and 15-19. The 3 + 4 annulation proceeds by a tandem cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement sequence. The cyclopropanation is highly stereoselective, favoring the formation of cis-divinylcyclopropanes. Due to the boat transition state required for the Cope rearrangement of cis-divinylcyclopropanes, the hydroazulenes are formed with predictable stereocontrol.
