Rh(III)-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation Initiated by C–H Activation: Ligand Development Enables a Diastereoselective [2 + 1] Annulation of N-Enoxyphthalimides and Alkenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 drastically improves yield and diastereoselectivity.

متن کاملOn the mechanism of the Rh(II)-catalysed cyclopropanation of alkenes.
The mechanism of Rh(ii)-catalysed cyclopropanation has been investigated computationally using Rh(2)(formate)(4) as a model precatalyst, with the model organic substrates CH(2)N(2) and C(2)H(4) and MeCl as a model for coordinating solvent. Three potential carriers of catalysis have been identified, one retaining the Rh(2)(formate)(4) framework and two others resulting from ligand insertion of R...
متن کاملRh(III)-catalyzed synthesis of 1-aminoindole derivatives from 2-acetyl-1-arylhydrazines and diazo compounds in water.
A novel and direct approach to synthesize 1-aminoindole derivatives by Rh(iii)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-acetyl-1-arylhydrazines with diazo compounds via aryl C-H activation has been developed. This intermolecular annulation involving tandem C-H activation, cyclization and condensation steps proceeds efficiently in water, obviates the need of external oxidants, and displays a broad substituent...

We report the regioselective synthesis of dihydroisoquinolones from aliphatic alkenes and O-pivaloyl benzhydroxamic acids mediated by a Rh(III) precatalyst bearing sterically bulky substituents. While the prototypical Cp* ligand provides product with low selectivity, sterically bulky Cpt affords product with excellent regioselectivity for a range of benzhydroxamic acids and alkenes. Crystallogr...

The diastereoselective coupling of O-substituted arylhydroxamates and cyclopropenes mediated by Rh(III) catalysis was successfully developed. Through ligand development, the diastereoselectivity of this reaction was improved using a heptamethylindenyl (Ind*) ligand, which has been rationalized using quantum chemical calculations. In addition, the nature of the O-substituted ester of benzhydroxa...
