Ruthenium- and Platinum-Catalyzed Sequential Reactions: Selective Synthesis of Fused Polycyclic Compounds from Propargylic Alcohols and Alkenes
摘要:
A simple method for the preparation of fused polycyclic compounds by an intramolecular cyclization of propargylic alcohols bearing an alkene moiety at a suitable position has been developed, where the presence of both Ru and Pt catalysts promotes a sequence of catalytic cycles in the same medium. This sequential system can be applied to an intermolecular reaction between a propargylic alcohol and an alkene to obtain the corresponding bicyclo[3,1,0]hex-2-ene derivative. These sequential reactions provide a conceptually new type of cycloaddition system between propargylic alcohols and alkenes.
A novel ruthenium-catalyzedcarbon-carbonbondformationbetween propargylic alcohols and alkenes via the allenylidene-ene reaction has been found to afford the corresponding 2,4-disubstituted-1-hexen-5-ynes in moderate yields. The finding described here discloses a new reactivity of allenylidene complexes. As a synthetic application, intramolecular cyclization of propargylic alcohols bearing an alkene
