Zirconacyclopentenes, which are easily prepared from alkynes and EtMgBr (or ethylene) and Cp2ZrCl2, reacted with oxalyl chloride in the presence of catalytic amount of CuCl to give cyclopentenones in high yields. The reaction was performed conveniently in one pot from alkynes, EtMgBr, oxalyl chloride, and Cp2ZrCl2.
Compounds of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, are useful as modulators of ATP-Binding Cassette (“ABC”) transporters or fragments thereof, including Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (“CFTR”). The present invention also relates to methods of treating ABC transporter mediated diseases using compounds of the present invention.
The polymer PEDOT+ mediates a Nazarov-like cyclization of dienones, in an heterogeneous system and in hydrocarbon solvents. The polymer-mediated reactions show clear differences in product formation when compared to the same reaction with tosic acid, or when compared to reports in the literature. Comparable or improved yields are observed, as well as the ability to give a Nazarov product in cases where treatment with acid fails to give cyclization, or leads to an undesirable rearrangement. In addition, the ability to recycle the polymer makes this a potentially useful protocol for an important organic chemical reaction.
Convenient preparative method of α,β-disubstituted cyclopentenone by zirconium promoted intermolecular coupling of an alkyne, EtMgBr (or ethylene) and CO
Treatment of Cp2ZrCl2 with 2 equiv of EtMgBr in THF, followed by addition of an internal alkyne and subsequent treatment with CO/I-2 gave alpha,beta-disubstituted cyclopentenone in good to high yields. When a conjugated enyne was used as an alkyne component, alpha-alkenyl cyclopentenone was selectively formed in 80-89% yields. In the case of 4,6-decadiyne, alpha-alkynylcyclopentenone was formed in 88% yield. Bridged alkynes such as 1,4-dihexynytbenzene afforded alpha alpha'-bridged cyclopentenone compounds in good yields.

Oxygen-containing organic compounds, such as ethers, carboxylates, and carbamates, have recently received increasing attention because of their newly discovered applications as electrophiles in cross-coupling reactions via transition metal-catalyzed C-O bond activation. However, no cycloaddition reaction involving their C-O bond activation has been demonstrated thus far. The present study developed a Ni(O)-catalyzed unique [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated phenyl esters with alkynes in (PrOH)-Pr-i to yield cydopentenone derivatives.
