Ruthenium-Catalyzed Cyclic Carbonylation of Allenyl Alcohols. Selective Synthesis of γ- and δ-Lactones
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Ruthenium complex catalyzed carbonylation of allenyl alcohols quantitatively gave cyclic carbonyl compounds, gamma- and delta-lactones, in which the hydroxy group of allenyl alcohols participated in the cyclization, A wide variety of allenyl alcohols, such as mono, di-, and trisubstituted alcohols, can be used in this reaction to produce 3- and 4-substituted gamma-lactones. Similarly, the cyclic carbonylation of 3,4-pentadien-1-ol 10a and 2-methyl-4,5-hexadien-2-ol 11a gave delta-lactones, 5,6-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one 10b, and 5,6-dihydro-6,6-dimethyl-3-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one 11b, respectively, in a quantitative yield.

Intramolecularcyclization of the methoxyallene–alkoxide adducts (1a) proceeds along two different pathways via a methoxyallyl radical to give either a dihydrofuran, or vinyl epoxide, depending upon the steric environment of the redical anion.
Allenyl alcohols such as 4-hydroxybuta-1,2-dienes and 5-hydroxypenta-1,2-dienes having a variety of substituents undergo cyclocarbonylation in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst under mild conditions selectively to give five- and six-membered lactones in a high yield with 100% atom economy. 5-Aminopenta-1,2-dines are also cyclocarbonylated to give gamma-lactams. A possible carbonylation mechanism involving a ruthenium cluster intermediate is proposed on the basis of experimental results.
