Nickel-Catalyzed Formation of Cyclopentenone Derivatives via the Unique Cycloaddition of α,β-Unsaturated Phenyl Esters with Alkynes
摘要:
Oxygen-containing organic compounds, such as ethers, carboxylates, and carbamates, have recently received increasing attention because of their newly discovered applications as electrophiles in cross-coupling reactions via transition metal-catalyzed C-O bond activation. However, no cycloaddition reaction involving their C-O bond activation has been demonstrated thus far. The present study developed a Ni(O)-catalyzed unique [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated phenyl esters with alkynes in (PrOH)-Pr-i to yield cydopentenone derivatives.
Mo−Au Combo Catalysis for Rapid 1,3-Rearrangement of Propargyl Alcohols into α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds
摘要:
The combination of Mo and cationic Au catalysts dramatically accelerated the rearrangement of diverse propargyl alcohols, which includes a short reaction time, mild conditions, and high product yields. A practical application to the highly challenging primary propargyl alcohols and the N-alkynyl amides is achieved.
highly efficient hydroesterification of alkynesemployingarylformates has been developed without the use of externalcarbonmonoxide and at ambient pressure. The reaction in the presence of a palladium-xantphos catalyst system selectively affords α,β-unsaturated esters in good to high yields. Use of an aryl formate is crucial and alkyl formates did not react at all. The hydroesterification of norbornene
