Gold-catalyzed heterocyclizations in alkynyl- and allenyl-β-lactams
نویسندگان
چکیده
New gold-catalyzed methods using the β-lactam scaffold have been recently developed for the synthesis of different sized heterocycles. This overview focuses on heterocyclization reactions of allenic and alkynic β-lactams which rely on the activation of the allene and alkyne component. The mechanism as well as the regio- and stereoselectivity of the cyclizations are also discussed.

Gold-catalyzed cyclization reactions of allenol and alkynol derivatives.
Although gold is chemically inert as a bulk metal, the landmark discovery that gold nanoparticles can be effective catalysts has opened up new and exciting research opportunities in the field. In recent years, there has been growth in the number of reactions catalyzed by gold complexes [gold(I) and gold(III)], usually as homogeneous catalysts, because they are soft Lewis acids. In addition, alk...
متن کاملWhy base-catalyzed isomerization of N-propargyl amides yields mostly allenamides rather than ynamides
The base-catalyzed isomerization of N-propargylamides or carbamates may furnish N-allenyl compounds (allenamides/allencarbamates) or further evolve to N-alkynyl compounds (ynamides or yncarbamates). The particular fate of this reaction varies from experiment to experiment and there is no clear rule for predicting the reaction outcome for a particular structure. With the support of ab initio and...

متن کاملFormal [4 + 1] Cycloadditions of β,β-Diaryl-Substituted ortho-(Alkynyl)styrenes through Gold(I)-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization Reactions.
Gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of β,β-diaryl-o-(alkynyl)styrenes at 80 °C selectively yields dihydroindeno[2,1-a]indenes in a transformation that encompasses a formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition and takes place through a cascade 5-endo-cyclization-diene activation-iso-Nazarov cyclization. In addition, by performing the reaction at 0 °C, the same substrates exclusively give rise to benzofulvene ...
متن کاملGold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerizations and alkoxycyclizations of ortho-(alkynyl)styrenes.
Indenes and related polycyclic structures have been efficiently synthesized by gold(I)-catalyzed cycloisomerizations of appropriate ortho-(alkynyl)styrenes. Disubstitution at the terminal position of the olefin was demonstrated to be essential to obtain products originating from a formal 5-endo-dig cyclization. Interestingly, a complete switch in the selectivity of the cyclization of o-(alkynyl...
