Ambiphilic allenes: synthesis and reactivity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ambiphilic allenes are generated by an organocatalyzed domino reaction of alkyl propiolates and aromatic 1,2-diketones; in the absence of any external chemical agent, these allenes perform a thermally-driven dimerization reaction to generate the corresponding fully-substituted cyclobutanes in a regio- and highly stereoselective manner.

متن کاملReactivity and Chemoselectivity of Allenes in Rh(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular (5 + 2) Cycloadditions with Vinylcyclopropanes: Allene-Mediated Rhodacycle Formation Can Poison Rh(I)-Catalyzed Cycloadditions
Allenes are important 2π building blocks in organic synthesis and engage as 2-carbon components in many metal-catalyzed reactions. Wender and co-workers discovered that methyl substituents on the terminal allene double bond counterintuitively change the reactivities of allenes in [Rh(CO)2Cl]2-catalyzed intermolecular (5 + 2) cycloadditions with vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs). More sterically encumbe...

This article reviews methods for converting allenes to strained, three-membered methylene heterocycles, and also covers the reactivity of these products. Specifically, the synthesis and reactivity of methylene aziridines, allene oxides/spirodiepoxides, methylene silacyclopropanes, methylene phosphiranes, and methylene thiiranes are described, including applications to the synthesis of complex m...
متن کاملSynthesis and reactivity of electron poor allenes: formation of completely organic frustrated Lewis pairs.
The synthesis of several electron poor allenes bearing electron withdrawing substituents is described and their use as Lewis acids in the field of frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry reported. At room temperature the combination of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) with the allenes under study invariably afforded the corresponding Lewis adducts; however, at -78 °C this reaction is in most of the ...
