Cyclodehydration of cis–2-butene-1,4-diol with active methylene compounds catalyzed by a diphosphinidenecyclobutene-coordinated palladium complex
摘要:
(pi-Allyl)palladium triflate coordinated with 1,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4-bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylphosphinidene)cyclobutene (DPCB-OMe), [Pd(eta(3)-C3H5)(DPCB-OMe)]OTf, efficiently catalyzes cycl odehydration of cis-2-butene-1,4-diol with active methylene compounds such as acetylacetone and ethyl acetoacetate in toluene in the presence of pyridine. The reactions can be performed in air, giving 2-vinyl-2,3-dihydrofurans in good to high yields. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
synthesize metastable bicyclic 2,5‐dihydrooxepines from cyclic 1,3‐diketones and 1,4‐dibromo‐2‐butenes through the retro‐Claisen rearrangement of syn‐2‐vinylcyclopropyl diketone intermediates is reported. DFT calculations were performed to understand the reaction selectivity and mechanisms towards [1,3]‐ or [3,3]‐sigmatropic rearrangements, highlighting the crucial influence of the temperature.
