Rh(I)-Catalyzed Ring-Opening of Hetaryne−Furan Diels−Alder Adducts: Rapid Access to Stereochemically Defined Heterocyclic Scaffolds
摘要:
Probing the nucleophilic ring-opening of various bicyclic [2.2.1] hetaryne-furan Diels-Alder adducts revealed that efficient reactivity could be observed with heteroatom nucleophiles by using a cationic Rh(I) complex in combination with a chiral Josiphos-type phosphine ligand. Remarkably, this catalyst system was not impeeded by the incorporation of a heteroatom into the substrate. Racemic materials afforded separable mixtures of enantioenriched regioisomers, indicating that strong reagent control is operative.
