[1+1+1] Cyclotrimerization for the Synthesis of Cyclopropanes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of small rings by functionalization of C(sp(3) )-H bonds remains a great challenge. We report for the first time a copper-catalyzed [1+1+1] cyclotrimerization of acetophenone derivatives under mild reaction conditions. The reaction has a broad scope for the stereoselective synthesis of cyclopropanes by trimerization of acetophenone. The developed transformation is based on an extraordinary copper-catalyzed cascade process that allows saturated carbocycles to be obtained for the first time by cyclotrimerization through functionalization of C(sp(3) )-H bonds. The cascade of sixfold C(sp(3) )-H bond functionalization allows the synthesis of cyclopropanes in a highly stereoselective approach.

Many metals or their complexes can catalyze the cyclotrimerization of alkynes to give benzene derivatives.1-9 Among these catalysts, palladium chloride10 and its bis(benzonitrile) complex11 are the most convenient. In these reactions, the yields of benzene derivatives generally depend on the substituents of alkynes. In the past 50 years, the regioand chemoselectivity for the cyclotrimerization ...
