A general strategy for the hydroalkylation of vinyl ketones using ethers catalyzed by an iron catalyst is described. This catalytic method permits direct transformation of easily accessible and abundant precursors into highly substituted, structurally diverse and functionally concentrated products.
β-unsaturated ketones could be obtained by palladium-catalyzed ring-opening of mono-substituted cyclopropyl ketones efficiently and systematically. (E)-1-Arylbut-2-en-1-ones were generated from aryl cyclopropyl ketones stereoselectively in yields of 23–89% by the Pd(OAc)2/PCy3 catalytic system. The reaction exhibited stereoselectivity (only E products were found) and was suitable for both phenyl and
在此,我们报道通过钯催化的单取代环丙基酮的开环可以有效且系统地获得α,β-不饱和酮。( E )-1-Arylbut-2-en-1-ones 通过 Pd(OAc) 2 /PCy 3催化体系由芳基环丙基酮立体选择性生成,收率为 23-89% 。该反应表现出立体选择性(仅发现E产物)并且适用于苯基和杂芳基环丙基酮。
Nickel(0)/<i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Asymmetric [2 + 2 + 2] Cycloaddition of Two Enones and an Alkyne: Access to Cyclohexenes with Four Contiguous Stereogenic Centers
A nickel(0)/chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed fully intermolecular, enantioselective [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of two enones and an alkyne has been developed to access enantioenriched cyclohexenes. A single diastereomer was obtained with a successive generation of four contiguous stereogenic centers. The absolute configuration of cyclohexene derivative 3aa was determined by X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism (CD) spectral studies.
