Gold‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclizations of Cyclopropenes with Propargylic Esters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Homogeneous gold catalysts are interesting as they can act as potent carbophilic Lewis acids to activate the π bonds of alkynes, allenes, and alkenes. Many impressive applications for the formation of C-C or C-heteroatom bonds have been found due to the excellent functional group compatibility of these catalysts and the air and moisture tolerance of their reactions. Here, we have developed gold-catalyzed novel intramolecular cycloisomerizations of nitrogen or oxygen-tethered cyclopropenes with propargylic esters. The reaction proceeded through different pathways according to different substituent styles, affording 5-azaspiro[2.5]oct-7-enes and bicyclo[4.1.0]heptanes.

Silver(I)‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclizations of Epoxide‐Propargylic Esters to 1,4‐Oxazine Derivatives
An interesting silver(I)-catalyzed, one-pot intramolecular cyclization of epoxide-propargylic esters is described. A variety of 1,4-oxazine derivatives were obtained through a novel domino sequence, including three-membered ring-opening, 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement, 6-exo-cycloisomerization and subsequent intramolecular elimination in moderate yields under mild conditions.

Gold-catalyzed synthesis of buta-1,3-dien-2-yl esters by the reaction of propargyl esters with vinylazides is described; the reaction mechanism is postulated to involve a vinyl attack of vinylazides at alkenyl gold carbenes.
متن کاملSynthesis of diverse indole-containing scaffolds by gold(I)-catalyzed tandem reactions of 3-propargylindoles initiated by 1,2-indole migrations: scope and computational studies.
Similar to propargylic carboxylates and sulphides, 3-propargylindoles undergo 1,2-indole migrations under cationic gold(I) catalysis. The intermediate Au-carbenoid complex may evolve through different pathways depending on the substituents at the propargylic and terminal positions of the alkyne moiety. Thus, 3-indenylindole derivatives were easily obtained through formal iso-Nazarov or Nazarov ...
متن کاملGold-catalyzed cyclizations of alkynol-based compounds: synthesis of natural products and derivatives.
The last decade has witnessed dramatic growth in the number of reactions catalyzed by gold complexes because of their powerful soft Lewis acid nature. In particular, the gold-catalyzed activation of propargylic compounds has progressively emerged in recent years. Some of these gold-catalyzed reactions in alkynes have been optimized and show significant utility in organic synthesis. Thus, apart ...

An efficient synthetic pathway to the possible stereoisomers of skeletally diverse heterocyclic small molecules is presented. The change in shape brought about by different intramolecular cyclizations of diastereoisomeric amino propargylic alcohols is quantified using principal moment-of-inertia (PMI) shape analysis.
