A Novel Palladium-Mediated Cascade Reaction Triggered by Strain Release of the Cyclobutane System. A New General Route to Benzo- and Naphthohydrindans
摘要:
A novel palladium-mediated cascade reaction was reported. By this procedure, the olefinic cyclobutanols 17, 24, and 31; 41; 37; and 45 afforded the benzo-and naphthohydrindans (46-49, 50-53, 54-57, and 58-61) respectively in one operation in the ratios depending on the mediators and solvents employed. This provides a novel and efficient synthesis of biologically important A-nor and C-11-alkylated steroids.

Enantioselective synthesis of (+)-equilenin 1 utilizing two types of cascade ringexpansion reactions of smallring systems is described. The first key step is an asymmetric epoxidation–ring expansion reaction of cyclopropylidene derivatives to afford chiral cyclobutanones. We found that both the fructose-derived chiral ketone and the chiral (salen)Mn(III) complex were effective catalysts for the asymmetric
