Facile synthesis of highly functionalized six-membered heterocycles via PPh3-catalyzed [4+2] annulations of activated terminal alkynes and hetero-dienes: scope, mechanism, and application
摘要:
A novel [4+2] annulation between activated terminal alkynes and aza-dienes or oxo-dienes has been developed with the use of triphenylphosphine catalyst (20 mol %), which provides a facile method for synthesis of the corresponding highly functionalized dihydropyridines or dihydropyrans in good to excellent yields. The reaction mechanism has also been established, consisting formal hetero-Diels-Alder reaction catalyzed by PPh3 and [1,3]-proton transfer, which exhibits a large isotopic effect.

dihydropyrans have been prepared in high to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (see scheme). The interaction between functional groups in the zwitterionic intermediate, which is generated by addition of the amine catalyst to the allenoate substrate, is thought to play a crucial role in the stereochemical outcome.
