Formal [3+2]cycloaddition of benzylic cations with alkenes
摘要:
The reaction of benzylic cations with styrenes affords dihydro(1H)indenes in good yield via a formal [3 + 2] atom cycloaddition. The cations were generated from quinone methides and benzylic alcohols. (E)-Styrenes participate in the reaction with remarkable stereoselectivity affording dihydro(1H)indenes with three stereogenic centers with >40:1 diastereoselectivity. A possible transition state for the reaction is discussed. Less activated alkenes such as dihydropyran and methylcyclohexene afforded cycloadducts in 66% and 51% yields, respectively.

p-Quinone methides were found to be excellent electrophilic cyclization initiators for the formation of six-membered rings. Cyclizations to form five- and seven-membered rings were also studied. Oxidation of 2,6-disubstituted phenols with Ag2O afforded the corresponding quinone methides. A wide range of cyclization terminators/nucleophiles were found to be effective in the cyclizations, including: allylsilane, beta-keto esters, furan, pyrrole, indole, and a number of alkenes. The yields of the cyclizations were generally high.

Synthesis of 4-Cinnamylidene-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ones
Lithium aluminium hydride (LAH) reduction of 4′-hydroxychalcones, followed by dehydration, yielded 4-cinnamylidene-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-ones in 19–42% yields. The LAH reduction of 4′-acetoxychalcones also gave the same products in improved yields.
