Metal-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Enyne Functionalities via a 1,3-Alkylidene Migration
摘要:
We report a new metal-catalyzed 6-endo-dig cyclization of cis-4,6-dien-1-yn-3-ols, which produces substituted benzene and naphthalene derivatives with structural reorganization. In this process, we observe a 1,3-alkylidene migration via cleavage of the olefin double bond of the starting substrates. The ease and reliability of this cyclization are manifested by its compatibility with a wide array of diverse substrates and several pi-alkyne activators, including PtCl2, Zn(OTf)2, AuCl, and AuCl3.

The carbonyl–olefin metathesis (COM) reaction is an attractive approach for the formation of a new carbon–carbon double bond from a carbonyl precursor. In principle, this reaction can be promoted by the activation of the carbonyl group with a Brønsted acid catalyst; however, it is often complicated as a result of unwanted side reactions under acidic conditions. Thus, there have been only a very few
羰基-烯烃复分解 (COM) 反应是从羰基前体形成新的碳-碳双键的一种有吸引力的方法。原则上,该反应可以通过用布朗斯台德酸催化剂活化羰基来促进;然而,由于在酸性条件下发生不希望的副反应,它通常很复杂。因此,只有极少数的布朗斯台德酸催化 COM 反应的例子,所有这些都需要专门设计的装置。在此,我们报告了一种新的实用均相布朗斯台德酸催化方案,该方案使用硝基甲烷(一种容易获得的溶剂)来促进分子内闭环 COM 反应。
The role of oxygen acidity on the side-chain fragmentation of ring methoxylated benzocycloalkenol radical cations
The reactivity of 2,2-dimethyl-5-methoxyindan-1-ol (1) and 2,2-dimethyl-6-methoxytetral-2-ol (2) radical cations has been studied both in acidic and basic solution. At pH less than or equal to 4 both 1(.+) and 2(.+) undergo C-alpha-H deprotonation as the exclusive reaction with k = 4.6 x 10(4) and 3.2 x 10(4) s(-1), respectively. In basic solution 1(.+) and 2(.+) behave as oxygen acids undergoing -OH-induced alpha-OH deprotonation in a diffusion controlled process (k(-OH) approximate to 10(10) M-1 s(-1)). An intermediate alkoxyl radical is formed which undergoes a 1,2-hydrogen atom shift in competition with C-C beta-scission (with 1(.+)) or as the exclusive pathway (with 2(.+)). A behavior which is interpreted in terms of the greater ease of ring-opening of a five membered ring as compared to a six-membered one. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
