RESUMO
The palladium-catalyzed domino cyclization of propargyl bromides having two nucleophilic functional groups is described. Treatment of 1,7-diamino-5-bromohept-3-yne derivatives with catalytic Pd(PPh3)4 in the presence of NaH in MeOH gives the 2,7-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-enes in good yields. Interestingly, the regioselectivity of the reaction is completely controlled by the relative reactivity of the amine functional groups, irrespective of the position of the nucleophiles. The malonate derivative also undergoes domino cyclization to produce a hexahydroindole derivative.

We have developed a highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of medium-sized heterocycles containing one or two heteroatoms via cyclization of bromoallenes bearing an oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon nucleophilic functionality in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst and alcohol. In this reaction, bromoallenes act as an allyl dication equivalent, and the intramolecular nucleophilic attack takes place exclusively at the central carbon atom of the allene moiety. Interestingly, bromoallenes having a carbon nucleophile with a five-atom tether afford eight-membered rings with trans-configuration, while those having an oxygen or a nitrogen nucleophile give the corresponding cis-rings selectively. This is the first example that demonstrates the synthesis of medium-sized rings via cyclization of bromoallenes, and this reaction provides a very useful method for a catalytic synthesis of seven- and eight-membered heterocycles without using high dilution conditions.
