Novel Metal-Free Hydrogenation of the Carbon−Carbon Double Bond in Azulenoid Enones by Use of Cycloheptatriene and Protic Acid
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]An efficient method for the hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon double bond in azulenoid and aromatic fused azulenoid enones without the use of hydrogen and a metal catalyst is reported. Treatment of a variety of azulenoid enones with cycloheptatriene and a protic acid in acetonitrile gave the corresponding, beta-azulenyl ketone derivatives in excellent to moderate yield. In this reaction, cycloheptatriene acts as a hydride donor.

For the reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones with electron-rich arenes catalyzed by gold(III) chloride both, a Friedel–Crafts-type mechanism and an initial metallation, are evaluated. Gold(III) chloride has proven to be an efficient catalyst under very moderate reaction conditions, however, in the case of sterically demanding products HBF4 turned out to be the superior catalyst.
