Synthesis of Pyrroles through Coupling of Enyne-hydrazones with Fischer Carbene Complexes
摘要:
The coupling of enyne-imines with Fischer carbene complexes leads to the formation of alkenylpyrrole derivatives. Maximum yields of pyrrole adducts were obtained using N,N-dimethylhydrazones. A mechanism involving alkyne insertion followed by nucleophilic attack of the imine nitrogen at the intermediate alkenylcarbene complex was proposed.
A General and Facile Synthesis of Substituted Furans by Palladium-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of (Z)-2-En-4-yn-1-ols
摘要:
A general and facile synthesis of furans, based on Pd(II)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of (Z)-2-en-4-yn-1-ols, is described. Cycloisomerization reactions are carried out at 25-100 degrees C in the presence of a very simple catalytic system, consisting of K2PdI4, under essentially neutral conditions. This new methodology is very versatile and can be applied to the synthesis of a variety of substituted furans, including particularly fragile, naturally occurring furans such as rosefuran. Efficient synthetic approaches for the regioselective synthesis of suitably substituted (Z)-2-en-4-yn-1-ols have been developed.
