Rearrangement of alkynyl sulfoxides catalyzed by gold(I) complexes.

چکیده
Recently, gold-carbenoid species have been proposed as intermediates in gold-catalyzed enyne rearrangements.1 Additionally, the reaction of gold complexes with propargyl esters has been developed as an alternative approach to metal carbenoids capable of effecting olefin cyclopropanation;2,3 however, to date, the reaction of electrophilic metals with alkynes has not been amenable to the generation of R-carbonyl carbenoids analogous to those traditionally formed in situ from transition-metal-catalyzed decomposition of R-diazocarbonyl compounds.4,5 We recently described a rearrangement of homopropargyl azides to pyrroles in which gold(I) promotes addition of a leaving-group-bearing nucleophile (Nu ) N) to an acetylene and subsequent loss of the leaving group (LG ) N2) (eq 1).6 On the basis of this reactivity principle, we envisioned that R-carbonyl metal carbenoids could be generated from alkynes via a gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement in which sulfoxides serve the role of nucleophile (Nu ) O) and latent leaving group (LG ) R2S).

Gold(I)-catalyzed ring expansion of cyclopropanols and cyclobutanols.
The rearrangement of 1-alkynyl cyclobutanols and cyclopropanols to alkylidene cycloalkanones catalyzed by cationic triarylphosphine gold(I) complexes is described. The reaction tolerates terminal alkynes as well as alkyl, aryl, and halo-substitution at the acetylenic position and stereoselectively provides a single olefin isomer. The gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement is stereospecific with regard...

The rearrangement of 1-ethynyl-2-propenyl pivaloates to cyclopentenones catalyzed by cationic triphenylphosphinegold(I) complexes is described. The reaction tolerates both alkyl and aryl substitution at the acetylenic and olefinic positions. Importantly, the gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement of enantioenriched propargyl pivaloates proceeds with excellent chirality transfer, thus providing a pract...
متن کاملGold(I)-catalyzed oxidative rearrangements.
Intermediates possessing carbenoid character have recently been postulated in a number of gold-catalyzed rearrangements.1 In accord with this proposal, cyclopropane adducts are formed from the intermolecular reaction of the proposed gold(I)-carbenoid intermediates with olefins.2 To further examine the nature of these intermediates, we sought to explore their reactivity with reagents previously ...
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...
