[GRAPHICS]PtCl2 (5 mol %) catalyst effected cycloisomerization of cis-2,4-dien-1-al (1) to 3-cyclopentenone (3) efficiently in hot toluene. In the presence of p-TSA, this PtCl2 catalysis gave 2-cyclopentenone (5) exclusively because of the secondary isomerization reaction. Although the 1-2 equilibrium state greatly favors aldehyde (1), PdCl2(PhCN)(2)(5 mol %) catalyzed cycloisomerization of aldehyde (1) to 4,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-isochromene (4) smoothly in hot toluene. A plausible mechanism is proposed on the basis of reaction observation and isotope-labeled experiment.
