Rhodium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Cyclohexenones via a Novel [4 + 2] Annulation
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]In the presence of a rhodium catalyst, 4-alkynals react with alkynes to furnish cyclohexenones, presumably via metalacycle 1; as far as we are aware, this is the first example of the generation of this class of compounds through such a transformation. In view of the easy accessibility of 4-alkynals (alkynylmetal + alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde) and alkynes, this [4 + 2] cyclization constitutes an interesting new approach to functionalized cyclohexenones.
