Additive and Medium Effects on Lewis Acid-Promoted Cationic .pi.-Cyclizations of Alkenyl- and Alkynylcyclopentane-1,3-diones
摘要:
The effects of nucleophilic additives, Lewis and Bronsted acids, and solvents on BF3.Et(2)O-promoted cationic pi-cyclizations of alkynyl- and alkenylcyclopentane-1,3-diones are reported. The rates and selectivities of alkynyl dione cyclizations were significantly effected by the addition of external nucleophiles or water, and the regioselectivity of cyclization was effected by the choice of reaction solvent. Cyclizations of alkenyl diones, which fail under standard non-nucleophilic conditions, were found to be successful in the presence of added nucleophiles or with Lewis acids other than BF3.Et(2)O. The usefulness of these cationic pi-cyclizations for producing bicyclic ring systems of various functionality was also explored.
