Ring Size and Substituent Effects in Oxyanion-Promoted Cyclizations of Enyne-allenes: Observation of a Myers−Saito Cycloaromatization at Cryogenic Temperature
摘要:
A series of acetoxy-substituted enyne-allenes, fused to cyclopentene and cyclohexene ring systems, were synthesized and treated with methyllithium to generate the corresponding enolates. It was found that whereas the cyclohexannulated examples underwent either C-2-C-7 (Myers-Saito) cycloaromatization or C-2-C-6 (Schmittel) cyclization depending on their terminal subsituents, the cyclopentannulated examples either failed to cyclize altogether or underwent C-2-C-7 cyclization. Both of these results lie in contrast to the behavior of their benzannulated analogues, which underwent exclusive C-2-C-6 cyclization independent of substituents. These findings are rationalized on the basis of both ring strain effects and the steric encumbrance of the terminal alkynyl and allenyl subsituents.

A new and convenient strategy for the synthesis of functionalized 1H-isochromene and 2H-pyran derivatives based on gold-catalyzed oxidative cyclizations of o-(alkynyl)phenyl propargyl ether derivatives has been developed. The reaction proceeds via gold-catalyzed highly regioselective oxidation, followed by 1,2-migration of an enynyl group and nucleophlic addition. Isocoumarins were also constructed
