Synthesis of alpha-ketoester- and alpha-hydroxyester-substituted isoindazoles via the thermodynamic coarctate cyclization of ester-terminated azo-ene-yne systems.


ABSTRACT: The synthesis of isoindazoles bearing alpha-ketoester and alpha-hydroxyester groups via the coarctate cyclization of ester-terminated azo-ene-yne precursors is described. Whereas previous studies on isoindazole formation have shown the reaction to proceed through a kinetic coarctate pathway, functionalization of the terminal acetylene with a methyl ester sufficiently stabilizes the carbene intermediate to make the coarctate cyclization the thermodynamic pathway. Density functional theory (DFT) computations reveal ca. 8-9 kcal mol(-1) lower energy transition states for the coarctate pathway compared to the parent system.
