摘要:
The copper-catalyzed conjugate addition-cycloacylation reaction of zinc homoenolates with acetylenic esters or acetylenic amides is described. The zinc homoenolate is prepared from [(ethoxycyclopropyl)oxy]trimethylsilane and zinc chloride in ether. Addition of an acetylenic amide or ester provides 2-carboxamido-or 2-carboalkoxy-3-alkylcyclopent-2-en-1-ones in good to excellent yields. The reaction can be carried out in the presence of a variety of sensitive functional groups including epoxides, alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, acetals, silyl ethers, and furans.
