A comparative study of the decomposition of o-alkynyl-substituted aryl diazo ketones. Synthesis of polysubstituted .beta.-naphthols via arylketene intermediates
摘要:
The photochemical, thermal, and rhodium-catalyzed decomposition reactions of several closely related o-alkynyl or o-alkenyl alpha-diazoaceto- and propiophenone derivatives have been studied. The reaction outcome is markedly dependent upon the reaction conditions employed for nitrogen extrusion. Thermolysis or photolysis of o-alkynyl alpha-diazopropiophenone derivatives yields polysubstituted beta-naphthols. These products are derived from Wolff rearrangement of the initially formed carbene to give an aryl ketene which undergoes intramolecular cyclization onto the o-alkynyl substituent. In direct contrast to the thermal and photochemical results, Rh(II)-catalyzed decomposition yields products derived from direct attack of a rhodium carbenoid onto the tethered pi-system producing a vinyl carbenoid intermediate. Further reaction of the cyclized carbenoid with the starting diazo compound furnishes a vinyl indenone which undergoes a rapid intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to produce a novel dimer whose structure was elucidated by an X-ray crystal analysis. Replacement of the methyl group on the diazo center with a sterically less demanding hydrogen atom was also found to play an important role in controlling the outcome of the Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction.

diynes were cyclized in the presence of a cationic gold catalyst and an external nucleophile leading to 1‐indenones and 1‐iminoindenones. The electron‐donating features of the nitrogen atom enable the formation of a reactive ketene iminium ion, which can be trapped by either diphenyl sulfoxide or anthranil as nucleophiles in a subsequent oxidation step, providing substituted inden‐1‐on‐3‐carboxamides

A new synthetic route to dihydrobiphenylenes has been developed. The process involves a mild RuII‐catalyzed [2+2+2] dimerization of ortho‐alkenylarylacetylenes or its more versatile variant, the Ru‐catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of ortho‐ethynylstyrenes with alkynes. Mechanistic aspects of this [2+2+2] cycloaddition are discussed.

donors or alcoholic solvents led to α-carbonylradicals. The utility of the α-carbonylradicals was demonstrated in intramolecular tandemcyclization and in the synthesis of 9-phenanthrols and their analogues. The mechanistic experiments suggested that quenching of the reactive benzotriazolyl radical by the alcohol was accompanied by the formation of an α-hydroxy radical that mediated hydrogen atom transfer
