Direct FeX3-Based Stereocontrolled Access to (Z)-3-Alkenyl-oxindoles from Allenols
摘要:
Iron trihalides (FeCl3 and FeBr3) smoothly promote the halogenation/rearrangement of 2-indolinone-tethered allenols to efficiently afford 3-halodienyl-oxindoles with good yield and total selectivity. Also, 2-halo-1,3-dienes are synthetically interesting building blocks for the preparation of functionalized 3-alkenyl-oxindoles through a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.
The room temperature radical cycloetherification/arylation cascade of allenols and diazoniumsalts has been accomplished via a combination of gold and photoredox catalysis to provide 2,3,4‐trisubstituted‐2,5‐dihydrofurans. The functionalized oxacycle formation sequence is chemo‐ and regioselective for the cycloetherification and for the position that bears the aryl moiety after the cross‐coupling.

expansion of lactam‐tethered allenols to efficiently afford cyclic α‐ or β‐ketoamides with good yields and high chemo‐, regio‐, and diastereoselectivity, through controlled CC bondcleavage of the β‐ or γ‐lactamnucleus. Interestingly, in contrast to the rearrangement reactions of 2‐azetidinone‐tethered allenols, which lead to the corresponding tetramic acid derivatives (β‐keto lactam adducts) as the
Lactam-tethered allenols, readily prepared from α-oxolactams, were used as starting materials for divergent reactivity with selenenylating reagents. Either oxycyclization (spirocyclic selenolactams) or ring expansion (selenoquinolones) can be achieved through the choice of both reagents and substrates. The biological activity of some of the synthesized heterocycles has additionally been evaluated in four human
An Alternative to Precious Metals: Hg(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·3H<sub>2</sub>O as a Cheap and Water-Tolerant Catalyst for the Cycloisomerization of Allenols
Hg(ClO4)(2)center dot 3H(2)O, a cheap, water-tolerant, and stable salt, catalyzes the cydoisomerization reaction or alpha-allenols to 2,5-dihydrofurans in an efficient and selective manner. The reaction is general and can be applied to differently functionalized substrates, including alkyl-substituted, aryl-substituted, enantiopure, and tertiary allenols. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to obtain insight into various aspects of the controlled reactivity of a-allenols under mercury catalysis. They suggest a dual activation of the allenol by the Hg complex that drives the reaction to the chemoselective formation of 2,5-dihydrofurans.
Efficient Entry to Diversely Functionalized Spirocyclic Oxindoles from Isatins through Carbonyl-Addition/Cyclization Reaction Sequences
A novel approach to diversely functionalized spirocyclic oxindoles has been developed by using different metal-mediated carbonyl-addition/cyclization reaction sequences. Spirocyclization precursors, 2-indolinonetethered homoallylic alcohols, (buta-1,3-dien-2-yl)methanols, and alpha-allenols have been obtained by regioselective addition of stabilized organoindium reagents to isatins in aqueous environment. Ruthenium-, silver-, and palladium-catalyzed reactions of the above unsaturated alcohol derivatives provided oxaspiro oxindoles.
