Facile Multistep Synthesis of Isotruxene and Isotruxenone
摘要:
Three multistep approaches toward facile syntheses of isotruxene (1) and isotruxenone (3) are reported. The ortho-para conjugated backbone in the precursor 4 was constructed by either Co-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cyclotrimerization or the [4 + 2] Diels-Alder reactions. The regioselectivity of the triple intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of 4 plays the key role in determining the overall yield. Compared to the previous one-step method, the current approaches are more efficient in terms of product yield (27-36% vs 4-18%) and purification (i.e., free of column chromatography).

α-diimine nickel(0) complex [Ni(μ-LMe-2,4)}3] (2) was synthesized from a “pre-organized”, trimerized trigonal LNiBr2-type precursor [Ni3(μ2-Br)3(μ3-Br)2(LMe-2,4)3]·Br (1; LMe-2,4 = [(2,4-Me2C6H3)NC(Me)]2). In complex 2, the α-diimine ligands not only exhibit the normal N,N′-chelating mode, but they also act as bridges between the Ni atoms through an unusual π-coordination of a CN bond to Ni. Complex 2 is
RhCl3/amine was found to be an efficient catalyst for the cyclotrimerization of alkynes. The [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of internal alkynes proceeded smoothly to afford hexa-substituted benzenes regioselectively in moderate to high yields.

Transition-metal-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of alkynes is a core synthetic approach to benzene rings. Herein we describe an efficient system based on inexpensive nickel catalyst and phosphine ligand that facilitate cyclotrimerization of various internal esteryl alkynes. The regioselectivity of the protocol was precisely controlled, and a series of polysubstituted benzene rings mainly composed
The RhCl3-3H(2)O/i-Pr2NEt-catalyzed [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of alkynes has been achieved. The reaction can be widely used for various alkynes and provides tri- OF hexa-substituted benzenes regioselectively in high yields. The [2+2+2] cycloaddition of diynes and alkynes is also developed, and it affords benzene derivatives in moderate to high yields. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
