allowing selective access to tertiary alkylated ketones and alkenes. The present approach features commercially available starting materials, broad substrate scope, general functional-group (including halogen, ester, nitrile, thioether) tolerance. Furthermore, we proposed plausible pathways to rationalize the divergent selectivity through preliminary mechanism study.
direct insertion of alkenes into unstrained ring 2-aryl-1,3-indandiones is reported, which provides a one-carbon ring expansion strategy for the synthesis of 1,4-naphthoquinones. Entirely differing from the existing reports, the alkenes herein behave as C1 units to participate in annulation reactions. This transformation provides a facile route to access a class of highly functionalized 1,4-naphthoquinones
An intermolecular annulation reaction of 2‐aryl‐1,3‐indandions with alkynes was reported using Pd(OAc)2 to access spirobi[indene]‐1,3‐diones. Under palladium catalysis, the substrates form a homocoupling dimer intermediate through a catalytic dehydrogenativecross‐coupling process. The palladium(II) species could come from dimer or 2‐aryl‐1,3‐indandion. Notably, this pathway is not typically observed
据报道,使用 Pd(OAc)2 进行 2-芳基-1,3-茚满二酮与炔烃的分子间成环反应,得到螺二[茚]-1,3-二酮。在钯催化下,底物通过催化脱氢交叉偶联过程形成同偶联二聚体中间体。钯 (II) 物质可能来自二聚体或 2-芳基-1,3-茚满二酮。值得注意的是,这种途径通常在烯醇导向的形式 sp3 C-H 官能化/氧化成环钯化学中观察不到。这种转化提供了获得一类官能化螺环碳环茚的途径。
