Gold(I)-Catalyzed Ring-Expanding Spiroannulation of Cyclopropenones with Enynes
摘要:
The gold(I)-catalyzed ring-expanding spiroannulation of cyclopropenones with enynes is reported here. A molecule of water is incorporated into the products during the spiroannulation to afford spirocyclic cyclopentenones containing an alcohol functionality.
Herein, an unprecedented non-noble-metal-catalyzed oxidation/cyclization of ene-ynamides is developed, allowing the synthesis of diversely functionalized lactams in moderate to good yields with excellent diastereoselectivities without the observation of typical cyclopropanation products. In combination with Ellman’s tert-butylsulfinimine chemistry, chiral γ-lactams containing three contiguous stereocenters
