Synthesis of Polycyclic Ring Systems Using Transition Metal Catalyzed Cyclizations of Diazo Alkynyl Ketones

چکیده
Abstract: The rhodium(II)-catalyzed reaction of α-diazo ketones bearing tethered alkyne units represents a new and useful method for the construction of a variety of substituted cyclopentenones. The process proceeds by addition of the rhodium-stabilized carbenoid onto the acetylenic π-bond to give a vinyl carbenoid intermediate. The resulting rhodium complex undergoes a wide assortment of reactions including cyclopropanation, 1,2hydrogen migration, CH-insertion, addition to tethered alkynes and ylide formation. When 2-alkynyl-2-diazo-3-oxobutanoates were treated with a Rh(II)-catalyst, furo[3,4-c]furans were formed in excellent yield.

Synthesis of novel functional polycyclic chromones through Michael addition and double cyclizations.
A base-promoted, microwave-assisted one-pot tandem reaction from simple 3-(1-alkynyl)chromones with 2-halobenzylic nitriles (esters or amides) for the synthesis of novel functional polycyclic chromenones has been developed. This tandem process involves multiple reactions, such as Michael addition and double cyclizations without a transition metal catalyst.

Nickel-catalyzed additions of arylboronic acids to alkynes, followed by enantioselective cyclizations of the alkenylnickel species onto tethered ketones or enones, are reported. These reactions are reliant upon the formal anti-carbonickelation of the alkyne, which is postulated to occur by the reversible E/Z isomerization of an alkenylnickel species.

A Cu-catalyzed cascade annulation of enynals with alkenyl or alkynyl a-bromocarbonyls for the synthesis of various cyclohexenone-fused polycyclic compounds is described. Up to six new C–C bonds and four new carbocycles can be established in a single reaction, highlighting the high efficiency and step-economics of this protocol. This reaction offers a novel and straightforward entry to the synth...

Heteroatom addition reactions to unactivated alkynes are thought to be best mediated by transition-metal catalysts such as palladium and gold. Recent studies by Hammond and co-workers and others demonstrate that cyclizations of alkynes with nitrogenand oxygen-containing nucleophiles are possible using stoichiometric amounts of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. However, these examples appear to be...

We report a Lewis acid catalyzed reaction sequence involving a 1,2-shift and subsequent C–H insertion that gives monocyclic and fused bicyclic cyclopentenone products. This reaction sequence, which is initiated by treating b-hydroxy-a-diazo ketones with a Lewis acid, proceeds through vinyl cation intermediates that insert at non-activated gamma C–H bonds. This reaction represents an alternative...
