The substrate dependent competitive formation of cyclobutanones and cyclopentanones in an intramolecular rhodium carbenoid CH insertion reaction: enantiospecific total synthesis of silphiperfol-6-ene
摘要:
The enantiospecific total synthesis of silphiperfol-6-ene has been accomplished starting from the readily available monoterpene (R)-limonene, employing a rhodium carbenoid insertion into the CH bond of a tertiary methyl group. A substrate dependent competitive insertion of the rhodium carbenoid in the gamma- and beta-CH bonds to form cyclopentanone and cyclobutanones, respectively, has been described.
