A variety of aryl enynes have been constructed from o-iodophenol derivatives containing ortho-tert-butyl groups via O-alkylation and a Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. These substrates undergo efficient thermal and oxidative intramolecular Pauson-Khand reactions leading to the formation of sterically congested cyclopentenones, as well as the formation of medium-sized rings, although in the latter case with unusual regioselectivity. Incorporation of a TMS moiety on the alkyne group in a higher homolog led to cyclization via the normal mode, albeit in relatively low yield. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
