RESUMO
We report stereoselective synthesis of tricyclic ketals through Pt(II)-catalyzed [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of benzopyrilium/1-en-3-ol functionalities. For nonaromatic enynals, we obtained distinct tricyclic oxacyclic ketones due to occurrence of a new annulation reaction. This work reports the first example that [4 + 2]-cycloadducts are successfully intercepted from such functionalities in diversified approaches. The value of such cycloadditions and annulations are shown by their high diastereoselectivities and chemoselectivities.
RESUMO
This work reports new gold-catalyzed [4+3]-annulations of oxacyclic benzenes with 2-substituted allylsilanes through tandem allylation and cyclization; on the basis of experimental observations, we propose a mechanism involving the opening of the oxacyclic ring by a PPh3Au+-assisted SN2-attack of allylsilanes.
RESUMO
We have developed a gold-catalyzed isomerization of unactivated allenes into 1,3-dienes with nitrosobenzene as an additive. This reaction proceeded almost exclusively at room temperature for highly substituted allenes. The utility of this reaction is manifested by the development of one-pot [4+2]-cycloaddition of allenes and reactive alkenes.
RESUMO
Two distinct Pt-catalyzed carboalkoxylations of alkynes are reported. The cycloisomerization of 5-alkoxypent-1-yn-3-ol derivatives 5 produces 2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes 6; the mechanism is postulated to involve a hydroxyl-triggered [3.3]-sigmatropic allyl rearrangement. As the same catalysis is extensible to their tertiary alcohol analogues 7, distinct dihydrofuranyl alcohols 8 were obtained through a [3.3]-allyl rearrangement that is not assisted by the hydroxyl group.
