Acids Direct 2-Styrylcyclobutanone into Two Distinctly Different Reaction Pathways
摘要:
Two structurally distinct carbocycles were selectively obtained by the reactions of 2-(o-styryl)cyclobutanones promoted by ytterbium salts. Treatment of the cyclobutanones with YbCl3 in 1,4-dioxane at 100 degrees C afforded 2-(2-chloroethyl)naphthalenes. On the other hand, the reaction with Yb(OTf)(3) in chlorobenzene at 130 degrees C gave 9,10-dihydrobenzocycloocten-7(8H)-ones.

reaction of dichloroketene with 1,5-dienes undergo intramolecular freeradical annulation. Lewis acid-promoted ring-opening of the cyclized cyclobutanones then yields novel ringexpansion products. Reaction of (R)-carvone provides an unusual example leading to the formation of a tricyclic dione. The carbonyl group of carvone enhances the radical cyclization and influences the ring-opening pathway.
Treatment of cyclobutanone having an o-styryl group at the 2-position with a catalytic amount of rhodium–phosphine complex afforded eight-membered ring ketones via intramolecular insertion of the C...
