A Highly Efficient Access to Spiroketals, Mono-unsaturated Spiroketals, and Furans: Hg(II)-Catalyzed Cyclization of Alkyne Diols and Triols
摘要:
Hg(II) salts are identified as highly efficient catalysts for the versatile construction of spiroketals from alkyne diols in aqueous conditions. Monounsaturated spiroketals and furans were accessed with equal ease when propargylic triols (or propargylic diols) were subjected to similar conditions. Even the semiprotected alkyne diols gave the corresponding spiroketals with the same ease in a cascade manner. The reactions are Instant and high yielding at ambient temperatures. Regioselectivity issues are well addressed.

The gold-catalyzed cyclization of monopropargylic triols to form olefin-containing spiroketals is reported. The reactions are rapid and high yielding when 2 mol % of the catalyst generated in situ from Au[P(t-BU)(2)(o-biphenyI)]Cl and AgOTf is employed in THF at 0 degrees C. A range of differentially substituted triols leading to substituted 5- and 6-membered ring spiroketals were prepared and function well in the reaction.

The first examples of gold-catalyzed cyclizations of diols and triols to the corresponding hetero- or spirocycles in an aqueous medium are presented. These reactions take place within nanomicelles, where the hydrophobic effect is operating, thereby driving the dehydrations, notwithstanding the surrounding water. By the addition of simple salts such as sodium chloride, reaction times and catalyst loadings
