Nickel-Catalyzed Formation of Cyclopentenone Derivatives via the Unique Cycloaddition of α,β-Unsaturated Phenyl Esters with Alkynes
摘要:
Oxygen-containing organic compounds, such as ethers, carboxylates, and carbamates, have recently received increasing attention because of their newly discovered applications as electrophiles in cross-coupling reactions via transition metal-catalyzed C-O bond activation. However, no cycloaddition reaction involving their C-O bond activation has been demonstrated thus far. The present study developed a Ni(O)-catalyzed unique [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated phenyl esters with alkynes in (PrOH)-Pr-i to yield cydopentenone derivatives.

Strategies for the reductive cycloaddition of enals or enoates with alkynes have been developed. The enal-alkyne cycloaddition directly affords cyclopentenols, whereas the enoate-alkyne cycloaddition affords the analogous cyclopentenones. The mechanism of these processes likely involves formation and protonation of a metallacyclic intermediate. The general strategy provides a straightforward entry

nickel‐catalyzed reductive [3+2] cycloaddition of α,β‐unsaturated aromatic esters and alkynes constitutes an efficient method for their synthesis. Here, nickel(0) catalysts comprising a chiral bulky C1‐symmetric N‐heterocyclic carbene ligand were shown to enable an efficient asymmetric synthesis of cyclopentenones from mesityl enoates and internal alkynes under mild conditions. The bulky NHC ligand
