Anodic cyclization of dimethyl 2-(5-aryl-5-oxopentyl)malonates into the corresponding dimethyl 2-aroylcyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates
摘要:
A wide range of dimethyl 2-(5-aryl-5-oxopentyl)malonates was electrooxidized in methanol, in the presence of catalytic amount of potassium iodide, to give the corresponding dimethyl 2-aroylcyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylates in high yields.The reactions were carried out under extremely mild reaction conditions, in which the optimal amount of electrolytic current ranged from 2.24 to 2.35 Fmol(-1). The reaction presumably proceeded via a two-electron oxidation process, in which iodide ions played an important role as the electron carrier between the anode and the substrate.

Intra- and intermolecular carbon monoxide trapping reactions of alkynes with malonates and cyano esters were developed using a Mn(III)-induced oxidative system. Phenylacetylene was treated with diethyl ethylmalonate in the presence of Mn(OAc)(3) . 2H(2)O, in AcOH-CH3CN (1:1) under carbon monoxide, affording (Z)-4,4-dicarbethoxy-2-phenyl-2-hexenoic acid. Similarly, intramolecular reactions of 4-alkynylmalonates and cyanoacetates proceeded regio- and stereoselectively under the same conditions to afford the corresponding methylenecycloalkanecarboxylic acids in moderate yields. The reaction involves carbon monoxide trapping of vinyl radicals which are formed by the addition of malonate or cyanoacetate radicals induced by Mn(III) to alkynes.
