[3 + 2] Annulation of Allylidenetriphenylphosphorane with 1,2-Diacylethylenes and 1,2-Diacylacetylenes: A One-Step Synthesis of Tri- and Tetrasubstituted Cyclopentadienes and Fulvenes
摘要:
Allylidenetriphenylphosphoranes underwent [3 + 2] annulation with 1,2-diacylethylenes at room temperature to give cyclopentadienes 11-17 having various substituents except for (Z)-3-acetylacrolein (18) which gave cyclohexadiene 19 derived from [3 + 3] annulation as the sole annulation product. The resulting cyclopentadienes were mixtures of the corresponding double-bond isomers which arose through an equilibrium process from the initially formed 1,3-dienes a under the weakly basic reaction conditions. Similar reactions of the phosphoranes with 1,2-diacylacetylenes afforded substituted fulvenes 24, 25, and 28 directly without the attendant formation of the corresponding benzene derivatives which come from another possible [3 + 3] annulation. The observed high level of the preference for the [3 + 2] annulation is discussed on the basis of the semiempirical PM3 MO calculations. The calculations suggested that the course of the annulation may be kinetically controlled at the oxaphosphetane-forming step of the intramolecular Wittig reaction.

An intermolecular oxidative cyclization between thiophenols and alkynes for benzothiophene formation has been established. A variety of multifunctional benzothiophenes are synthesized. In addition, we demonstrated that the obtained benzothiophenes can be used for further transformation to give diverse benzothiophene derivatives efficiently and selectively.
