A Tandem Cyclization-Onium Ylide Rearrangement-Cycloaddition Sequence for the Synthesis of Benzo-Substituted Cyclopentenones
摘要:
A new annulation sequence leading to benzo-substituted cyclopentenones is effected by treating o-alkynyl-substituted alpha-diazoacetophenones containing tethered heteroatoms with Rh(II) carboxylates. The reaction involves addition of the initially formed keto carbenoid onto the acetylenic pi-bond to give a rearranged vinyl carbenoid. Sulfonium ylide formation occurred both intra- and intermolecularly when the reaction was carried out in the presence of a sulfide. In the case where an ether oxygen was present on the backbone of the vinyl carbenoid, the resulting oxonium ylide underwent a [1,2]- or [2,3]-shift to give the rearranged product. These cyclic metallocarbenoids were also found to interact with a neighboring carbonyl or oximino pi-bond to produce carbonyl or azomethine ylides. The 1,3-dipoles generated in this manner were trapped with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. The domino transformation was also performed intramolecularly by attaching a trapping agent directly to the carbonyl group. Incorporation of an amido carbonyl on the alkyne side chain was found to dramatically alter the course of the tandem annulation reaction. A novel rearranged cycloadduct was formed in high yield whose structure was elucidated by X-ray crystallography. The mechanism for its formation involves the opening of a transient intermediate oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane followed by a Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement.

It′s no sacrifice: Alkynes have been used as direct precursors to sulfur ylides under gold or platinum π‐acid catalysis in an atom‐economic manner. An intramolecular redox reaction between an alkyne group with a tethered sulfoxide unit generates a sulfur ylide, which undergoes 2,3‐sigmatropicrearrangement. Acyclic substrates are cycloisomerized to afford functionalized dihydrothiophenones (see scheme)

Rhodium(II) acetate catalyzes the denitrogenative transformation of 4-substituted 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles with pendent allyl and propargyl ethers and thioethers to onium ylides that undergo [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to give 2-tetrasubstituted heterocycles with high yield and diastereoselectivity.
