Electronic control of product distribution in the [5+5]-coupling of ortho-alkynylbenzaldehyde derivatives and γ,δ-unsaturated carbene complexes
摘要:
The coupling of highly oxygenated ortho-alkynylbenzaldehyde derivatives with gamma,delta-carbene complexes was evaluated systematically. In all of the electron-rich systems investigated the exclusive product of the reaction is the dihydrophenanthrene derivative. Only the extremely electron-withdrawing methanesulfonate group can prevent this process from occurring. The use of the base additive collidine resulted in a surprising yield enhancement but no other discernable effect on the course of the reaction. Dihydrophenanthrene formation was attributed to rapid dehydration after the opening of a benzo-oxanorbornene intermediate. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
