Complete transfer of chirality in an intramolecular, thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition of allene-ynes to form non-racemic spirooxindoles

چکیده
A thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of allene-ynes has been used to transform chiral non-racemic allenyl oxindoles into chiral non-racemic spirooxindoles containing an alkylidene cyclobutene moiety. The enantiomeric excesses were determined by chiral lanthanide shift NMR analysis and the transfer of chiral information from the allene to the spirooxindole was found to be greater than 95%.

The synthesis of C3-carbocyclic spirooxindoles was realized by way of an intramolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between a vinylidene indolin-2-one and an alkyne. The cycloaddition reaction occurs selectively with the distal double bond of the allene, is tolerant of a phenyl and trimethylsilyl group on the terminus of the alkyne, and can be used to access bicyclo[4.2.0]octadienes and bicy...

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...

Results from the systematic exploration of the scope of the intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of conjugated enynes revealed that the reaction is quite general. The synthetic utility of the intramolecular enyne cycloaddition for the synthesis of substituted polycyclic aromatic and dihydroaromatic heterocycles has been demonstrated. In the course of our investigation, we examined a variety of fe...

A metal-free and formal [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of triynes has emerged recently as a novel methodology for the synthesis of fused tricyclic compounds via an intramolecular cascade propargylic ene reaction, Diels-Alder cycloaddition and tautomerization. DFT calculations on three model systems reveal that the ene reaction with low distortion energy makes the metal-free strategy feasible and, as...
