Highly Stereoselective 7-Endo-Trig/Ring Contraction Cascade To Construct Pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline Derivatives
摘要:
With the cooperation of Cram's phenonium ion, a novel cascade reaction was illustrated to construct pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines as a sole diastereoisomer in good to excellent yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the gamma-lactam ring and electron-rich arene are important driving forces for ring contraction.
Cyclization of 1,6-Enynes Catalyzed by Gold Nanoparticles Supported on TiO2: Significant Changes in Selectivity and Mechanism, as Compared to Homogeneous Au-Catalysis
摘要:
Gold nanoparticles supported on TiO2 (1.2 mol %) catalyze, for the first time under heterogeneous conditions, the cycloisomerization of a series of 1,6-enynes in high yields. In several cases, the product selectivity differs significantly as compared to homogeneous Au(I)-catalysis. Based on product analysis and stereoisotopic studies it is proposed that the major or exclusive pathway involves a 5-exo cyclization mode to form stereoselectively gold cyclopropyl carbenes that undergo a single cleavage pathway, in contrast to homogeneous Au-catalysis where the double cleavage pathway operates substantially.
