Cation Radical Catalyzed Diels-Alder Reaction of Electron-Rich Allenes
摘要:
The cation radical catalyzed cycloaddition of electron-rich arylallenes 1a-e with 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadiene (2a) afforded the Diels-Alder products 3 and 4 at 0 degrees C in 5 min with a high chemoselectivity, facial selectivity, and stereoselectivity. From the results of various mechanistic tests, it is inferred that the electron transfer induced reaction proceeds via a [3 + 2] pathway by cycloaddition of the diene cation radical to a neutral allene 1 exhibiting a rather short chain length. However, with electron-withdrawing substituents at the remote end of the allene functionality, the cycloaddition is only a minor reaction path. With diarylallene 1f and diene 2a, or 2b, no cycloaddition but formation of products 7 and d(1)-7 occurred. It is concluded that distonic cation radicals may be intermediates in a stepwise formal Diels-Alder reaction induced by electron transfer.

A protocol for regio‐controlled hydromagnesiation of 1,3‐enynes was developed using magnesium hydride that is generated in situ by solvothermal treatment of sodium hydride (NaH) and magnesium iodide (MgI2) in THF. The resulting allenylmagnesium species could be converted into tri‐ and tetra‐substituted allenes by subsequent treatment with various carbon‐ and silicon‐based electrophiles with the aid
