Efficient Nickel-Catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] Cycloaddition of CO2 and Diynes
摘要:
A mild and general route for preparing 2-pyrones from CO2 and diynes is described. Under only 1 atm of CO2, excellent yields of pyrone are obtained using catalytic amounts of Ni(COD)2 and imidazolylidene ligand, IPr. In addition, stoichiometric reactions between the isolated complex Ni(IPr)2, diynes, and CO2 suggest that the pathway involves initial reaction with CO2 as the key step.
cationic Rh(I)-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions between diynes and isocyanates relying on the chiral anion strategy have been devised. In the presence of [Rh(cod)Cl]2, 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane, and the silver phosphate salt Ag(S)-TRIP as the unique source of chirality, axially chiral pyridones were isolated with ees up to 82%. This approach is novel in the field of chiral anion-mediated

A convenient method for preparing substituted anilines via a Rh-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of diynes and 2-oxazolone was discovered. The initial cycloaddition adducts undergo facile decarboxylation of carbon dioxide to afford aniline products. Reaction conditions are mild, and only 3 mol % Rh catalyst is required. High regioselectivity was observed when an unsymmetrical diyne was used as a starting material.
The first enantioselective metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition involving a double asymmetric induction has been devised. It relies on the use of an in situ generated chiral cationic rhodium(I) catalyst with a matched chiral ligand/chiral counterion pair. Careful optimization of the catalytic system, as well as of the reaction conditions, led to atroposelective [2 + 2 + 2] pyridone cycloadducts with high ees up to 96%. This strategy outperformed those previously described involving a chiral ligand only or a chiral counterion only.
