Hg(OTf)2-catalyzed aryl–allene cyclization accompanied by formation of a quaternary carbon center has been realized. Deuterium-labeling experiments and computational modeling were used to propose a novel catalytic pathway involving direct H-transfer from the aromatic ring to the vinyl mercury moiety followed by mercury 1,2-migration.
Hg(OTf)2催化的芳基-亚芳基环化反应伴随形成季碳中心。
氘标记实验和计算模型被用来提出一种新颖的催化途径,涉及直接H从芳环到
乙烯基汞部分的H转移,然后
汞1,2-迁移。
