Enantioselective Intramolecular C–H Insertion Reactions of Donor–Donor Metal Carbenoids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first asymmetric insertion reactions of donor-donor carbenoids, i.e., those with no pendant electron-withdrawing groups, are reported. This process enables the synthesis of densely substituted benzodihydrofurans with high levels of enantio- and diastereoselectivity. Preliminary results show similar efficiency in the preparation of indanes. This new method is used in the first enantioselective synthesis of an oligoresveratrol natural product (E-δ-viniferin).

Along with the intramolecular C–H insertion reactions by carbenoids, intramolecular N–H insertion reactions of α-diazocarbonyl substrates catalyzed by metal complex have received considerable attention in recent years. This type of insertion reaction has been shown to be a mild and efficient route to 4-, 5-, and 6-membered aza rings. A frequently cited example of this powerful approach is the M...

Intramolecular C±H insertion by Rh-mediated carbenoids has attracted considerable interest in recent years. In addition to its synthetic applications, there have been extensive investigations into the mechanism of this reaction. We have recently studied the electronic eects of this reaction through the measurement of the relative reactivities of Rh-mediated carbenoid insertion into a series of...

Transition metal catalyzed reactions of R-diazo ketones (1) are a powerful means to synthesize complex polycyclic organic frameworks.1 In particular, dirhodium(II) carboxylate and carboxamide catalysts mediate a wide range of synthetic transformations such as cyclopropanation,2 C-H and X-H insertion,3,4 aromatic substitution,5 and ylide formation.6 Enantioselective transformations promoted by c...

The development of a new transition-metal-catalyzed transformation can often allow a traditional reaction, perhaps one that employs stoichiometric amounts of reagents and harsh reaction conditions, to be replaced by a selective, atom economic process which proceeds under mild reaction conditions. This is certainly the case with the recent report from Dong and co-workers of a catalytic enantiose...
