hexadehydro-Diels–Alder reaction of substrates containing tethered trapping moieties. Products having new structural motifs can be created. (i) Medium-sized fused rings can be produced by varying the length of the tether. (ii) The tether can emanate from an atom within the linker unit that joins the 1,3-diyne and diynophile. (iii) The importance of the rate of trapping by the benzynophile is established.
Conversion of a simplefuran into the intact erythrinane skeleton in one synthetic operation has been accomplished. The one-pot reaction sequence begins with singlet oxygen photooxygenation of the furan and proceeds via a 2-pyrrolidinone formation, cyclization of the pendant aldehyde moiety and an N-acyliminium ion formation and terminates with a Pictet-Spengler-type aromatic substitution. The method
High-value 1-azaspirocyclic scaffolds have been made from simple and readily accessible furan precursors in a single operation. The protocol is a one-pot sequence using highly sustainable conditions (oxygen, visible light, and a favored green solvent) that leads to a dramatic increase in molecular complexity. The initial substrates can include functionalities that are suitable for further elaboration;
Acid-catalyzed intramolecular Friedel–Crafts cyclization of optically active α-hydroxy-α-alkenylsilanes possessing a benzene ring (>99% ee) with TMSOTf as a Lewis acid gave enantio-enriched tetrahydronaphthalenes (up to 98% ee). The silyl group attached to the chiral carbon played a crucial role in the chirality transfer.
substrates into polycyclic alkaloid frameworks or erythrina natural products is described. Each of the sequences developed makes use of photocatalyzed energy transfer processes, which generate singletoxygen, to set up the substrates for the second photocatalyzed reaction, wherein electron transfer generates carbon‐centered radicals for the cyclizations that give the final complex frameworks.
