A Stereospecific Access to Allylic Systems Using Rhodium(II)−Vinyl Carbenoid Insertion into Si−H, O−H, and N−H Bonds
摘要:
Rhodium-catalyzed decomposition of alpha-vinyldiazoesters in the presence of silanes, alcohols, ethers, amines, and thiols have been shown to produce the corresponding alpha-silyl, alpha-hydroxy, alpha-alkoxy, alpha-amino, and alpha-thioalkoxy esters in generally good yield with a complete retention of the stereochemistry of the double bond of the diazo precursor. An extension of the process in homochiral series has also been devised using either a chiral auxiliary attached to the ester function or achiral alpha-vinyldiazoesters and Doyle's chiral catalyst Rh-2(MEPY)(4). In the former approach, pantolactone as chiral auxiliary gave diastereoselectivities of up to 70%, while the second approach produced the desired allylsilane with ee as high as 72%. On the other hand, Rh-2(MEPY)(4)-catalyzed insertion into the O-H bond of water led to poor or no enantioselectivity in good agreement with recent literature reports.

We report two new formal cycloaddition reactions between nitrosobenzenes and alkenylgold carbenoids. We obtained quinoline oxides 3 in satisfactory yields from the gold-catalyzed [3 + 3]-cycloadditions between nitrosobenzenes and alkenyldiazo esters 1. For propargyl esters 5, its resulting gold carbenes react with nitrosobenzene to give alkenylimine 8, followed by a [4 + 2]-cycloaddition with nitrosobenzene

A convenient process for the direct functionalization of ferrocene that exploits the high electrophilic character of gold–vinyl carbenoids catalytically generated from vinyldiazo compounds and gold complexes is reported. This process takes place with complete regioselectivity (vinilogous reactivity). The synthesis of the corresponding ruthenocene analogues has also been achieved. Preliminary studies
