Rhodium(II)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkynyl 2-diazo-3-oxobutanoates as a method for synthesizing substituted furans
摘要:
A series of 2-alkynyl 2-diazo-3-oxobutanoates, when treated with a catalytic quantity of rhodium(II) acetate, were found to produce furo[3,4-c]furans in good yield. The reaction proceeds by addition of a rhodium-stabilized carbenoid onto the acetylenic pi-bond to give a vinyl carbenoid which subsequently cyclizes onto the neighboring carbonyl group to produce the furan ring. In a similar manner, indeno[1,2-c]furans were produced from 2-butynyl 2-diazoarylacetates. Compounds substituted with methyl groups on the propargylic carbon atom cyclized at a slower rate. This rate diminution is attributed to the fact that the unsubstituted propargyl group can more easily achieve the required conformation for cyclization. C-H insertion was found to compete with furan formation when an alkyl group was attached to the keto functionality of the starting diazo acetoacetate. Diazo alkynyl sulfones undergo a novel oxygen transfer reaction when treated with rhodium(II) acetate at 80-degrees-C. The cyclized product is formed by sulfone oxygen attack onto the vinyl carbenoid producing a dipolar species which subsequently collapses to give the butenolide sulfoxide.
Spectroscopy and Photochemistry of Phenylacetic Acid Esters and Related Substrates. The Stereoelectronic Dependence of the Aryl/Carboxyl Bichromophore Interaction
摘要:
The 254-nm-initiated Norrish Type II photofragmentation of the ethoxyethyl esters of a series of phenylacetic acids (1b-4b) has been studied in order to further elaborate the aryl/ester interaction that is photochemically and photophysically evident in these systems. The ethoxyethyl ester of benzonorbornene-1-carboxylic acid (5) has also been prepared and studied, as has a rigid tricyclic lactone (6) which places the chromophores in an optimal stereoelectronic relationship for interaction. The experimental work is accompanied by Hartree-Fock (HF), Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), and Configuration Interaction with Single Excitations (CIS) calculations on the methyl esters of phenylacetic acid (1a) and alpha-methoxyphenylacetic acid (4a). The calculations confirm extensive through-space (TS) and through-bond (TB) interactions between the aryl and ester pi* orbitals but fail to provide conformational or electronic arguments to explain the unusually high reactivity of the alpha-methoxy series.
