Annulation Reactions of Allenyl Esters: An Approach to Bicyclic Diones and Medium-Sized Rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
A flexible approach to construct sterically congested bicyclo-alkenedione frameworks is reported. Under the action of potassium carbonate, α-sulphonyl cycloalkanones are added to functionalized allenyl esters, leading to a lactone intermediate that is subsequently reduced to initiate an intramolecular aldol cyclization to [3.2.1], [3.3.1], and [4.3.1] bicycles. Oxidation then affords bicyclic diones in good three-step yields. Under exceptionally mild conditions, these bicycles are converted to highly functionalized medium-sized rings through a Grob-type fragmentation.

Regioselective intramolecular [3+2] annulation of allene-nitrones.
The regioselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the phenylsulfonylallene-nitrone derivatives has been developed. This reaction showed that the distal double bond of the allene exclusively reacted with the nitrone group to produce the bicyclic isoxazolidine derivatives regardless of the substitution pattern on the allenyl moiety.
متن کاملNew modification of the Perkow reaction: halocarboxylate anions as leaving groups in 3-acyloxyquinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione compounds
Substituted 3-(fluoroacyloxy)quinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones including 3-(fluoroiodoacetoxy) derivatives react with triethyl phosphite to afford either the product of the Perkow reaction or the corresponding 4-ethoxyquinolin-2(1H)-one. In both reactions, the fluorocarboxylate anion acts as the first observed leaving group. This observation restricts the application of the intramolecular Horner-Wads...

A novel synthetic approach to functionalized indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidines is developed via an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed annulation of cyclic β-enamino esters with enals . This methodology offers a pathway for quick and efficient construction of an indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidine skeleton which is a core structure of many natural products with diverse bioactivities.
