Diastereoselective Carbocyclization of 1,6-Heptadienes Triggered by Rhodium-Catalyzed Activation of an Olefinic C=H Bond**
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of α,ω-dienes as functionalization reagents for olefinic carbon-hydrogen bonds has been rarely studied. Reported herein is the rhodium(I)-catalyzed rearrangement of prochiral 1,6-heptadienes into [2,2,1]-cycloheptane derivatives with concomitant creation of at least three stereogenic centers and complete diastereocontrol. Deuterium-labeling studies and the isolation of a key intermediate are consistent with a group-directed C-H bond activation, followed by two consecutive migratory insertions, with only the latter step being diastereoselective.

N-Enoxyphthalimides undergo a Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation initiated cyclopropanation of electron deficient alkenes. The reaction is proposed to proceed via a directed activation of the olefinic C-H bond followed by two migratory insertions, first across the electron-deficient alkene and then by cyclization back onto the enol moiety. A newly designed isopropylcyclopentadienyl ligand drastic...

Transmetallation: A highly regio- and diastereoselective carbocyclization involving a palladium-catalyzed 1,2-addition of two carbon atoms across a conjugated diene has been developed (see scheme). The reaction is performed with dienynes and an oxygen tether containing a terminal or internal triple bond.

The rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular direct arylation of imidazole and benzimidazole derivatives via double C-H bond activation is described. This approach provides new access to a wide range of imidazo and benzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives in moderate to high yields. This reaction provides an alternative method to the known Pd-catalyzed intramolecular oxidative cross-coupling reactions.
متن کاملIsomerization of Olefins Triggered by Rhodium-Catalyzed C–H Bond Activation: Control of Endocyclic β-Hydrogen Elimination**
Five-membered metallacycles are typically reluctant to undergo endocyclic β-hydrogen elimination. The rhodium-catalyzed isomerization of 4-pentenals into 3-pentenals occurs through this elementary step and cleavage of two C-H bonds, as supported by deuterium-labeling studies. The reaction proceeds without decarbonylation, leads to trans olefins exclusively, and tolerates other olefins normally ...

We describe palladium-catalyzed carbocyclization of 1,6-enynes leading to six-membered rings by water-originated hydride addition. Mechanistic features of this anomalous carbocyclization and isolation of a chiral five-membered C-Pd intermediate as an oxidized form of trifluoroacetate are also reported.
