Phosphine-Catalyzed Synthesis of 6-Substituted 2-Pyrones: Manifestation of E/Z-Isomerism in the Zwitterionic Intermediate
摘要:
We report a one-step phosphine-catalyzed annulation between aldehydes and ethyl allenoate to form 6-substituted 2-pyrones. The mechanistic rationale for this reaction requires explicit discussion of the EIZ-isomerism of the zwitterionic intermediate formed by the addition of a phosphine to the allenoate. Sterically demanding trialkylphosphines facilitate the shift of equilibrium toward the E-isomeric zwitterion and lead to the formation of 6-substituted 2-pyrones. Various aromatic as well as aliphatic aldehydes undergo the transformation in moderate to excellent yield.
Phosphine-Catalyzed Synthesis of 1,3-Dioxan-4-ylidenes
摘要:
A phosphine-catalyzed reaction of an allenoate with aldehydes furnished (2,6-diaryl-[1,3]dioxan-4-ylidene)-acetates 4 in excellent to moderate yields with complete diastereoselectivity and high E/Z-selectivities. Upon removal of the acetal functionality in this domino reaction product 4, delta-hydroxy-beta-ketoester 11 was obtained. The reported vinylphosphonium-based approach provides a new way to achieve a synthesis of 6-hydroxy-beta-ketoesters that differs from the classical dianion-based approach.

A novel bridged [2.2.1] bicyclic phosphineoxide, devised to circumvent the waste generation and burdens of purification that are typical of reactions driven by the generation of phosphineoxides, has been prepared in three steps from commercially available cyclopent-3-ene-1-carboxylic acid. The performance of this novel phosphineoxide was superior to those of current best-in-class counterparts, as

A PPh3-mediated multicomponent reaction between o-phthalaldehydes, nucleophiles, and monosubstituted allenes furnishes functionalized non-C-2-symmetric naphthalenes in synthetically useful yields. When the o-phthalaldehydes were reacted with 1,3-disubstituted allenes in the presence of PPh2Et, naphthalene derivatives were also obtained in up to quantitative yields. The mechanism of the latter transformation is straightforward: aldol addition followed by Wittig olefination and dehydration. The mechanism of the former is a tandem gamma-umpolung/aldol/Wittig/dehydration process, as established by preparation of putative reaction intermediates and mass spectrometric analysis. This transformation can be applied iteratively to prepare anthracenes and tetracenes using carboxylic acids as pronucleophiles.
