Development of a Titanocene-Catalyzed Enyne Cyclization/Isocyanide Insertion Reaction
摘要:
The first early transition metal-catalyzed enyne cyclization reaction is described. The system converts enyne substrates to bicyclic iminocyclopentenes through the use of 10 mol % of Cp(2)Ti(PMe(3))(2) in the presence of a silyl cyanide. Subsequent hydrolysis produces the corresponding bicyclic cyclopentenones in good overall yield. The cyclization reaction is tolerant of polar functional groups such as ethers, amines, and esters and is diastereoselective with certain chiral enyne substrates.
The first successful example of the three‐component coupling of N‐alkylanilines, terminalalkynes, and alcohols was achieved at room temperature by a visible‐light‐mediated copper‐catalyzed photoredox hydrogen‐atom transfer process. This method allows preparation of propargylamines through uniquely selective α‐C−H bond activation of unactivated alkylalcohols. Preliminary studies indicate that formation
