Pyrrolidine catalyzed reactions of cyclopentadiene with ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds: 1,2- versus 1,4-additions.


ABSTRACT: A systematic study of the reactions of cyclopentadiene with ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of catalytic pyrrolidine-H2O revealed that the reactions can either proceed with a Michael attack at the ?-carbon of enone, or 1,2-addition to the carbonyl, leadingeither to 4-cyclopentadienyl-2-butanones or 6-vinylfulvenes. The former can be isolated and/or converted to the corresponding 1,2-dihydropentalenes with base (or in one-pot at longer reaction times). Substitution pattern on the enones on the competing pathways have been studied and consistent mechanisms are proposed.
